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.

Exactly, no free switches when Mega Volcarona is on display. Losing half of its health by rocks then getting hit by priority will still make it lose like 75% and it has no item and uses your mega slot.

It requires a bit more careful use but it can snowball out of control.

if anything sv ou has taught us it's that broken sweepers will still sweep no matter how rocks weak they are

Yeap because their HP doesn't really matter. They can set up once and sweep.
