Volcarona
As the bug gym leader this is one of my favourite pokemon of all time. The Bug/Fire type pokemon Volcarona.
Looking at Volcarona, we can see that this is a pokemon which can be used very easily with a little practice. Like all bug type pokemon, it is hard to use but once you do figure it out, it's a pokemon which you will never want to leave behind.
Type
Volcarona is a Bug/Fire type pokemon. It is weak to the types; Flying and Water. A Rock type move however will do 4 time the base damage to Volcarona and it also has a weaker defence stat making it very vulnerable to a rock type pokemon. Volcarona is strong against; Fighting, Bug, Steel and Ice. It also resists Grass moves by 4 times meaning a Grass type move will only do a quarter of the base damage.
Stats
Volcarona has a base stat of 550. As a normal pokemon, this is quite high but of cause not as high as a Dragonite or a Tyranatar. Volcarona has a Sp. Attack stat of 135, this is very high and can be used with Quiver Dance in order to make this go through the roof.
