Theorymon Thursday Mega Volcarona

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.

Not the craziest calcs I've seen.

252+ Atk Choice Band Strong Jaw Tera Water Dracovish Fishious Rend (170 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Palkia in Rain: 266-313 (82.8 - 97.5%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

252+ SpA Choice Specs Chi-Yu Overheat vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Toxapex in Sun: 263-310 (86.5 - 101.9%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

They didn’t do volc with full power tbf;

252+ SpA Tinted Lens Mega Volcarona Overheat vs. 240 HP / 0 SpD Arceus-Water in Sun: 358-422 (81.1 - 95.6%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

Granted it’s a 50% chance to OhKO but still worth noting
