Staraptor (M) @ LeftoversTrait: RecklessJolly NatureEVs: 252 Spe / 252 atk / 4 HP

•Brave Bird:STAB,boosted by Reckless•Double-Edge:Same as Brave Bird•Close Combat:Coverage•U-Turn:Coverage

It Only Doesn’t have The Awesome Sp.Def and could Beat Volcarona Anyday. Though it Isn’t Gen V

Eh, what the heck. I’ve got nothing to lose:

Braviary (M) @ Life OrbTrait: Sheer ForceEVs: 116 HP / 252 Atk / 140 SpdAdamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)- Crush Claw- Rock Slide- Brave Bird- Tailwind

hope this helps! :D

I think Garchomp would be a good choice.

Garchomp (M)Item Attached: Yache Berry / Haban Berry / Life OrbAbility: Sand Veil / Rough SkinJolly Nature (+Spd, -Satk)

-Swords Dance- Outrage- Earthquake- Fire Blast / Fire Fang

Hey :)

While Staraptor, Braviary and Garchomp are definitely a good choice of Pokemon, there are a few flaws.

As ThePika mentioned, while Staraptor does have a very decent Speed and Sp. Atk. , it is sorely lacking in all it’s defensive skills. Unless Volcarona is OHKO’d (unlikely, even with Brave Bird) , it’s almost guaranteed that Staraptor will be taken out in the next move. (For example, Volcarona with Wild Charge = Staraptor Steak.)

Again waith Braviary, it’s got decent HP and Attack (which could be very potent with Brave Bird andRock Slide(remember : Volcarona has a 4x weakness to Rock!), but it’s slow. It’s defenses might not be able to hold against a Fire Blast or Wild Charge.

Garchomp is another brilliant idea. It’s got very good Attack, decent HP, and above average defenses. Above all, it can outspeed a Volcarona with a Hasty nature. DeadlyHaxorus29 has provided an ideal moveset as well. Ideally, Rock Slide shouldeasilybe able to 2HKO a Volcarona, if not OHKO it.

My suggestions :

Archeops.

Nature

Adamant(+Atk., -Sp.Atk.) /Lonely(+Atk., -Def.) /Careful(+Sp. Def, -Sp. Atk.

Item Held

Leichi Berry / Razor Fang / Wide Lens

Moveset

=>Rock Slide(Wide Lens for accuracy, Razor Fang for +10% or so flinch chance). /

Smack Down.I know it seems strange, but it’s for those pesky Bouncers and Fly users. If Volcarona uses Magnet Rise, this can be useful.(Rock Tombcan also be used to reduce Volcarona’s Speed.)

=>Earthquake/Earth Power. An obvious choice. Can be used after Smack Down for Flying types.

=>Aerial Ace/Fly.STAB.

=>Dragon Claw/Crunchfor overall coverage.

Aerodactyl.

Aerodactyl is a great Flinch Sweeper with very high speed, good Attack, decent defenses, and a wide coverage.

Nature

Adamant. (+Atk., - Sp. Atk.)

Item Held

King’s Rock. (Extra flinch chance)

Moveset

=>Thunder Fang.(flinch+ PAR chance)=>Fire Fang.(flinch+ BRN chance)=>Ice Fang.(flinch +FRZ chance)=>Rock Slide. (Flinch chance)

Lugia.

Lugia is the ideal Pokemon to obliterate something like Volcarona. It suits every single one of your requirements, apart from the fact that it is not native to Gen V.

Lugia can outspeed Volcarona. It has 10 extra base speed.It has slightly above-average attack and special attack.It has extremely strong defenses. (Max. 394 Def., Max. 447 Sp. Def.)

Also, it can learn several moves that can annihilate a Volcarona with ease.

Nature

Adamant(+Atk., -Sp. Atk.) /Lonely(+Atk., -Def.) /Calm(+Sp. Def., - Atk.)

Item Held

Tanga Berry. Weakens super-effective bug-type moves. Volcarona is sure to land a Bug Buzz if it doesn’t die quickly.

Enigma Berry. Restores HP if hit by a super-effective move.

Moveset.

=>Aqua Tail / Surf / Waterfall / Hydro Pump.These aren’t specifically against Volcarona, my Lugia has always had a water move for general coverage.

=>Aeroblast/Sky Attack. Volcarona is weak against Flying type moves, and aeroblast is Lugia’s special move, apart from it getting STAB. Lugia can easily survive a Bug Buzz with the Tanga berry to use Sky Attack.

=>Iron Head. Taught by the Move Tutor. Smashes both Ice and Rock types. (That, and it’s a pretty crazy move. :P )

= >Earthquake / Recover / Psychic / Extrasensory / Shadow Ball / Signal Beam / Ice Beam.

Sorry for such a wide choice in the last move, but the only reason I’ve done that is because Lugia can be strong with any of those moves.Earthquakeis a favourite, and with good coverage,Recoverif you’re a defensive sweeper,PsychicandE-sensoryfor STAB,Shadow Ballagainst Ghost Types,Signal BeamagainstDark types, and Ice Beam for the heck of it.

Well. That’s it. :) Sorry for the long answer, and good luck with this!

Staraptor and Garchomp are not Gen V and Braviary is Gen V, but he is actuallySLOWERThan Volcarona (Braviary’s 80 compared to Volcarona’s 100) and his SpDef is not the best.___My choice for you…..Virizion
