Items:

Tips
  • Calm Mind is a useful move for the upcoming Pokemon battle.
  • For Volcarona, use Pokemon strong against Fire and Bug moves. A Fire-type with Flash Fire is recommended to negate Fire damage.
  • Try to Paralyse or Sleep Volcarona to prevent it from using Quiver Dance, which raises its Special Attack, Special Defence, and Speed.
  • Use weak moves, especially False Swipe, to whittle down Volcarona's health.
  • Volcarona's normal Defence is not as strong as its Special Defence, so be careful not to accidentally knock it out.
  • Catching Volcarona is highly recommended as evolving Larvesta at Level 59 is a significant task.
  • TM04 Calm Mind
  • PP Max
  • TM26 Earthquake
  • Catchable Volcarona (Level 70)
