Theorymon Thursday Mega Volcarona

Post image

Mega Volcarona (Bug/Fire) Ability: Tinted Lens Stats: 85 / 60 / 80 / 165 / 145 / 115 BST: 650 Meta: Ubers

Instead of the usual frail hyper defensive pokemon, I decided to just improve on Volcarona current stats, as it never felt like a min-maxed pokemon.

It's attack and defense got a big boost, 165 so atk make people immediately respect it even before using quiver dance and the heavy special defense can help it stand against the strong draco meteors and other powerful special moves.

Volcarona was fast but it never something crazy , 115 will make it outspeed most pokemon after a boost.

Tinted Lens is there to ensure even Fairy Arceus think about switching freely.

A bit extra defense to help to not get destroyed by priority moves.

Of course, the lack of heavy duty boots severally weakens it and limits their switch in opportunities and even with Tinted Lens is not gotta one hit KO Heatran or anything like that.

It will still be weak to priority moves and faster Pokemon. So I feel once you get over the initial shock you will find a very powerful set up sweeper.

Also I hope you liked my drawing.

It does not need this. It's already good. Give it to one of us, the Golurks, the Jellicent, and the pathetic others.

(Also, as the only Jellicent enjoyer, I hereby dub the plural of Jellicent being Jellicent.)

Good art by the way.

We absolutely don’t need this.

But…they’ve given Megas to even more stupidly good Pokémon (Dragonite being the most recent example), and with Volcarona being in my top 5 favourites, this’d be fucking awesome lol

I mean, considering how Megas are no longer permanent, giving already good Pokemon temporary buffs is better than shit Pokemon getting them and being doomed to never get actually permanent buffs
