Volcarona (Japanese: ウルガモス Urugamosu) is a Bug/Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology

Physiology

Volcarona is a large six-winged insectile Pokémon that resembles a fiery moth. It has a small black face and a segmented black abdomen. It has two beady, diamond-shaped blue eyes and two segmented red feelers or antennae on either side of its head. It has a fluffy ruff of white fur covering its chest and back, and four stubby arms tucked inward. It has light teal outer sections on its abdomen. It has six magnificent fiery orange wings that allow it to fly. Its entire body, including its wings, are speckled with black dots that resemble cinders.

Special Abilities

Volcarona has access to an exclusive move known as Fiery Dance, which increases the user's Special Attack stat. It also has access to two abilities; Flame Body allows Volcarona to indirectly inflict burn status if the opposing Pokemon damages it with a direct contact move. Swarm increases Volcarona's Bug-type moves if Volcarona has less than half of its HP.

Behavior

It is said that whenever the sky became dark from volcanic ashes, Volcarona would replace the sun with its own flames. Many people believed that Volcarona could set entire villages on fire with a flap of its wings.

Volcarona releases flaming scales during flight. It has been feared by many villagers and is often referred to as "the rage of the sun". Tales have been told of Volcarona emerging from a cocoon of raging flames and saving people from the cold.

Volcarona has been depicted as a sun god on most ancient paintings.

Appearances

Anime

Volcarona made its first appearance in "Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!". It was on the run from a Pokemon hunter who wanted to catch Volcarona and sell it for a reasonably high price. Despite its best efforts of fighting back, Volcarona was captured. However, with the help of Ash and his friends, as well as the Unova Ice-type Gym Leader, Brycen, Volcarona was able to escape and return to its habitat atop a high mountain.

Trivia

  • Volcarona shares the same species with Sunflora and Espeon; they're all known as the Sun Pokémon.
  • It shares similarities with Venomoth and Frosmoth:
    • All three are based on moths and are part of a two line evolution.
    • While both Venomoth and Volcarona are Bug-types primarily, Frosmoth is Bug-type secondarily (with Ice as its primary type).
      • Both Volcarona and Venomoth evolve from their pre-evolved forms through leveling up while Frosmoth evolves from Snom through high friendship during the night.
  • Its wings resemble the sun when unfurled.
  • Volcarona (and its pre-evolved form) share the Bug/Fire-type with Sizzlipede and Centiskorch, although the latter two have the types switched.
  • It is the only Pokémon who can learn Fiery Dance.
  • Its pre-evolution, Larvesta, is a physical attacker, while Volcarona is a special attacker.
  • Volcarona is one of the three Bug-type Pokémon to learn the move Fly, with the other two being Genesect and Vikavolt.
    • Interestingly, none of these Pokémon are part Flying-type.

Origin

Volcarona is a moth with some traits of seraphim, which were described in the Bible as fiery angels with six wings. This could be a pun on one species of moth, whose scientific name is Olceclostera seraphica. It may also be based on the kaiju Mothra from the Godzilla movies, similar to how Tyranitar draws inspiration from Godzilla and Hydreigon from King Ghidorah. It might also take inspiration from the saying "like a moth attracted to a flame". Volcarona takes some inspiration from a solar deity. Its wing patterns also mimic that of a tiger lily.

Volcarona is also based on the sun motif, since its wings resemble a sun when fully opened as well as the fact that it has been known to replace the sun if the sky is darkened by volcanic ash. Also, its ties with the sun is also evident by the black spots on its wings, which is inspired by sun spots.

Etymology

Volcarona's name is a portmanteau of "volcano" and "corona", which is the top layer of the atmosphere of the sun. It is fitting, as Volcarona is referred to as the "Sun Pokémon".
