Pokemon of the Week #4 (7/31/2012)

Volcarona

Volcarona, the Sun Pokemon. When volcanic ash darkened the atmosphere, it is said that Volcarona's fire provided a replacement for the sun. A sea of fire engulfs the surroundings of their battles, since they use their six wings to scatter their ember scales.

Volcarona is a great Pokemon competitively. Bug/Fire is a good offensive type for the most part, and Volcarona also gets Quiver Dance, which is a fantastic set up move. It can then fire off Bug Buzz and a fire attack of choice at high power. After a Quiver Dance, it's hard to hurt from the special side, so physical attacking is generally the way to go. Beware of Flame Body, though, as it can cripple most physical attackers.

Volcarona isn't without flaws, of course. x4 weakness to Rock makes switching in difficult, due to the popular Stealth Rock. It has severe problems with Heatran too. But all Pokemon have flaws, and Volcarona could sure be a lot worse off.

I enjoy using Volcarona in game, not as a battler, but to help me hatch eggs. Flame Body decreases the hatching time, and Fly can be useful too. As far as I know, Volcarona is the only Pokemon with Flame Body/Magma Armor that can use Fly.

I love Bug-types, they're one of my favorites. I love Ledian, Ariados, Shuckle, Accelgor, Beautifly, and more. Volcarona isn't at the top of the list, but it isn't at the bottom either. In other words, I think it's okay. The design is decent, but not great either.

Volcarona is just waitin' to get on one of my Sun teams. ... I just haven't gotten 'round to makin' one yet. >_>;

It's design is around average quality, I'd say. I don't particularly favor it though.

That was also a user with that on here. He was a goldeneye player, unfortunately.

Nahh, they made the first Pokémon black and white versions way to easy. I played it at first and finished it, then my brother toke over and collected all Pokémon from the Trade center, which was cool but also boring. The only Pokémonsters we don't have are mostly from events.

Pokemon? Easy? Preposterous!

Well of course it's easy. At least most of it. The Battle Subway can be hard, for example.

It's easy but boring if you spend an hour a day grinding each and every pokemon to a specific level. AKA me as I dislike exciting and rough battles.

I have never seen that Volcarona before in my life...i'm falling behind with the times! I'm a pensioner to all the new Pokemon kids!
