So immediate need is something to cover volcarona cause that thing gonna set up and ruin these guys. Tapu lele and koko could he problematic. There are definitely a few other things but they seem to have some good synergy together
If volc is more common than heatran you could run HP Rock. I like the Serperior set as long as it has Glare. I used to run it to cripple Mega Heracross switch ins so Buzzwole should like it. The only other set is sub/lefties.
Scarf Nihilego has decent synergy with these 2 and handles Volcarona.
The buzzwole ev spread could change. I made it max attack with enough HP for 404 subs, throwing the rest in defense.
Scarf nihilego also can hit marowak as well.
I dont want to run hp rock on serperior because that would give heatran a free switch in who would otherwise destroy non max speed Buzzwole
Another issue i see is greninja (fuck this thing)
You press glare on the switch and now Heatran is free to Buzzwole but there are a lot of ways to play it.

Here’s where i stand currently. Using thunder on nihilego guarantees a ohko on greninja and i went with hp fire as i think serp and zwole pressure lando/garchomp/zygarde pretty well and nailing ferrothorn on switch ins is nice.
We have 3 grounded pokes so spike stacking might be an issue. The team also needs a steel type and it also lacks a hazard setter.
So…Skarm?
Skarm is way too passive and tapu lele still 2hkos that. I dont think a role compression like that would fit on this team tbh
This team is going to be on the offensive side
I would say Volcanian as it shits on Volcarona. You can use it as a bait to kill Fini by using grass Z solar beam. It deals with a lot of threats and Steam Eruption hurt certain offensive teams that can’t switch in for fear of burns
Volcanion doesnt shit on volcarona
+1 252 SpA Volcarona Shattered Psyche (175 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Volcanion: 321-378 (106.6 - 125.5%) – guaranteed OHKO
I already have nihilego and glare on serperior means that volc cant set up on it
Who the fuck is wasting a Z-Move and move slot on Psychic for Volcarona? If a person is that desperate to try and sweep with the moth, the rest of the team has to be severely lacking.
It’s probably it’s best set
Volcarona @ Psychium Z
Quiver Dance
Fiery Dance
HP Ice
Psychic
It beats garchomp, zygarde, and toxapex, while still being able to break heatran.
There’s also charti berry volcarona which might become a thing
+1 252 SpA Volcarona Hidden Power Ground vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Volcanion: 222-262 (73.7 - 87%) – 87.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
There’s also that which is definitely not in Volcanions favor
I have never seena Volcarona run anything other than
QD
Fiery Fancy
Bug Buzz
HP ice and the rare ground. Some have roost.
Even still it has to come in and lose half its health, get a boost if it isn’t running recover before it can even think about challenging volcanion.
If they are both in and it starts from neutral Volcanion is beating that thing. Literally every Volcarona i have had is running BB, Roost, HP, or giga drain in the last 2 slots. I have NEVER seen that set.
Ive seen it, ive run it. It’s not the most popular set. It’s way more common when you hit 1600+. It’s a legit set that will destroy you with a single mistake
I will take your word for it.
So a couple of months back there were a couple of events with Mega Stones as prizes.
Did we ever get those?
There was a password event for like 4 megas a few weeks ago. Check serebii but we did get those megas
I got those, but are they exactly the same? IIRC there was another one that didn’t come out?
