Buginium Z Volcarona

by Neko, set by Maroon

Volcarona savagely removes its typical checks in Tyranitar, Garchomp, and Victini with Buginium Z! With a Quiver Dance, Volcarona outspeeds and OHKOes threats such as Choice Scarf Excadrill and Landorus-I. Roost lets Volcarona setup on Pokemon such as Galarian Slowking and Chansey, while Psychic threatens Poison- and Fighting-types such as Toxapex and Kommo-o. Swarm increases the damage output of Bug Buzz, OHKO'ing Galarian Slowking with Savage Spin-out at +2. Volcarona needs entry hazard removal support, so teammates such as Court Change Cinderace, Torkoal, and Rotom-H are greatly appreciated. Cinderace deals with special walls such as Tyranitar for it and pivots it in against Slowbro and Toxapex which Volcarona can take advantage of. Mega Charizard-X is another setup sweeper that helps Volcarona break down teams such as Electric and Flying as it heavily pressures Pokemon that check Volcarona such as Alolan Raichu and Mantine. Choice Scarf Blacephalon deals with Choice Scarf Nihilego which checks it and appreciates Volcarona's wallbreaking prowess to clean teams late-game.
