Should I run Swarm or Flame Body on this Rain Volcarona?

Now, here’s my Rain Volcarona set:

Volcarona @ Focus SashAbility: ???Modest NatureEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe-Quiver Dance-Bug Buzz-Hidden Power Water-Hurricane

Now, if I’m down to my Sash, Bug Buzz gets a power boost. However, if something like Mega Metagross revenge kills me with Bullet Punch, there’s a chance to burn it, hugely crippling it. I’ve run Flame Body and it’s been quite helpful, but I haven’t eventriedSwarm. Can anyone help? I can post the rest of my team in a comment if necessary.

I’d recommendSwarm!

Being that it is holding a Sash it will definitely get a chance to harness the power of Bug Buzz. Running Flame Body with a sash isn’t as safe, since the chance of an actual burn is only 30%. Another thing is it relies on contact moves; Rock Slide and Stone Edge avoid this stipulation, two moves that will murder Volcarona and keep its user safe. It’s better to at least dealsomedamage in certain situations than to just hope for a burn.

Hopefully I’ve Helped!

Swarm helps you to increase the power of bug type moves. You have Bug buzz acts as a bug type move with Volcarona. It just helps you to increase the attack stat in a pinch if your Pokemon is in trouble. So flame body is better than swarm because it has an outside ability too and it also burns the foe when it comes to contact.

According to me, abilities are not important. Use your stats and moves to defeat Metagross.

All the best for you.
