National Dex Monotype Volcarona (Bug) [QC: 2/2] [GP: 1/1]

[style.css]

[SET]
Volcarona @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Quiver Dance
- Fiery Dance / Fire Blast
- Giga Drain / Bug Buzz
- Hidden Power [Ground] / Psychic

[SET COMMENTS]
Volcarona is one of Bug's strongest setup sweepers, with a respectable Speed stat, high Special Attack, and great coverage. In addition to being one of very few special attacking options on Bug, Volcarona helps apply pressure in a variety of matchups thanks to its strong STAB moves and coverage. Fire Blast can be used over Fiery Dance for more immediate damage output. Giga Drain deals with Water- and Ground-types, most notably Swampert, Gastrodon, and Rotom-Wash. Bug Buzz can be used instead for Volcarona to overwhelm types like Dragon, Dark, and Psychic with Quiver Dance-boosted STAB attacks. Hidden Power Ground hits Heatran, allowing Volcarona to break Steel's immunity-based defensive core that can otherwise give Bug teams problems. Alternatively, Psychic can be used to damage bulky Poison-types, like Toxapex and Mega Venusaur, that can wall physical attackers like Heracross and Buzzwole. These physical attackers, in addition to Lokix and Scizor, are able to break through specially defensive walls, like Chansey and Mantine, that Volcarona struggles against. Araquanid and Armaldo provide helpful entry hazards in Sticky Web and Stealth Rock, respectively, to make sweeping mid- or late-game much easier.

Volcarona @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Name: Setup Sweeper (Bug) [Don't forget the set name]
Ability: Flame Body

[SET COMMENTS]
Volcarona is one of Bug's strongest set up sweepers with a respectable Speed stat, high Special Attack and great coverage. In addition to being one of very few special attacking options on Bug, Volcarona helps cover crucial matchups like Steel and Water and Ground,Poison and with access to Giga Drain, helps in the Water and Ground matchups too (avoid using brackets, reworded to not make it clunky without brackets), and can even pressure other types like Flying with it's neutral STAB power. Fiery Dance lets Volcarona boost outside of Quiver Dance but is relatively weak and Fire Blast can be used over Fiery Dance for more immediate damage output. Giga Drain helps deal with Water and Ground types, most notably Swampert, Gastrodon, Great Tusk, (3 examples are fine + Tusk takes more from Psychic anyway) and Rotom-Wash. Bug Buzz can be used instead to try and overwhelm neutral types like Dragon, Electric, and Rock with boosted STAB attacks. Hidden Power Ground is almost exclusively to hit Heatran and break the immunity core of Steel that can otherwise give Bug teams problems. Alternatively Psychic can be used which helps to damage bulky Poison types like Toxapex and Mega Venusaur that can wall the physical attackers like Heracross and Buzzwole. While Volcarona is a very strong sweeper it does appreciate support from teammates which ease its burdenPokemon like Araquanid, Armaldo, Buzzwole, Lokix and Scizor(Changed because these aren't the "only" teammates and clunking all of them into one sentence isn't very good, the sentence I added can be changed if your idea was something else). Araquanid and Armaldo provide helpful hazards in Sticky Web and Stealth Rock respectively to make sweeping in the mid to late game much easier. Lokix and Scizor can provide the momentum with U-turn to bring in Volcarona and set up at the right time. These teammates also help to check walls that Volcarona can't get through easily like Chansey or Skeledirge while also providing defensive switch ins to Volcarona's Rock and Water weaknesses. Wacky sentence, since it implies all mentioned teammates can deal with Skeledirge and Chansey, I'd split this sentence in a way so that only implies to Lokix. Also mention Choice Scarf Buzzwole and Mega Pinsir('s QA) being able to take advantage of Volc weakening teams and them weakening teams for Volc)

Hidden Power Ground is almost exclusively to hit Heatran and break the immunity core of Steel that can otherwise give Bug teams problems (move HP Ground after Fire Blast, so that the analysis flows better due to the adjustment I gave). Alternatively Psychic can be used which helps to damage bulky Poison types like Toxapex and Mega Venusaur that can wall the physical attackers like Heracross and Buzzwole. These physical attackers in addition to Lokix and Scizor help to damage or KO strong Special Defense Specially Defensive walls like Chansey. Araquanid and Armaldo provide helpful hazards in Sticky Web and Stealth Rock respectively to make sweeping in the mid to late game much easier (Araq also beats Skeledirge and Armaldo deals with Mantine which is stinkyyy. Webs also prevent scarf treads from RKing Volcaroo at +1).

Just suggestions though

I made your changes. I kept the Psychic slash where it was though because it's perfectly ok not to run HP Ground so it shouldn't be in a non-slashed slot. The Fire Blast calcs you have are ok though you are always trying to get to +2 on Electric anyway? I think it's truly just personal preference and nothing specific on which Fire attack you use
