Competitive Strategy
Volcarona is a setup special sweeper. Quiver Dance raises Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed at once, turning it into a devastating wallbreaker after one boost. 135 Special Attack with Fiery Dance and Bug Buzz provides excellent coverage, and its 100 Speed and 105 Special Defense let it set up against many threats. Its Bug/Fire typing gives it a 4× weakness to Rock and 2× weaknesses to Flying and Water, so bring it in on a resisted hit and watch for Rock coverage. Fire- and Steel-resistant partners help cover those matchups.
