Which Pokémon should I replace with Volcarona?

1 minute read

I’m playing White 2 for the first time, and recently discovered that I can get Volcarona through the relic castle. I really want to use it, but don’t know which Pokémon to boot, and was hoping to get some suggestions from more experienced players. My team currently is:Serperior:Level 40, Quirky Nature, Overgrow. Moveset is Coil, Slam, Leech Seed, and Leaf Blade.Lucario:Level 36, Hasty Nature, Inner Focus. Moveset is Counter, Swords Dance, Force Palm, and Quick Attack.Vibravia:Level 41, Hasty Nature, Levitate. Moveset is Rock Slide, Earth Power, Screech, and Dragon Breath.Frillish:Level 39, Timid Nature, Cursed Body. Moveset is Surf, Rain Dance, Ominous Wind, and Recover.Swoobat:Level 40, Timid Nature, Unaware. Moveset is Fly, Heart Stamp, Future Sight, and Air Slash.Magneton:Level 35, Hardy Nature, Sturdy. Moveset is Flash Cannon, Thunder Wave, Electro Ball, and Metal Sound. Thank you!

Volcarona may be very strong, but its moveset isn’t that good for a playthrough. You’re stuck with moves like leech life, gust and fire spin until you can find decent TMs like flamethrower. Originally, I was undecided between chandelure and volcarona, and after seeing how hard it is to get good moves on volcarona, I went with chandelure. So, to answer your question, volcarona will not perform better than anything else in your team until very late game. You’ll be waiting to get the flamethrower TM on the route before victory road. However, if you desperately want to use volcarona, I’d suggest that you replace swoobat.
