In the trivia section, it says that Volcanrona can learn magnet rise. It can't. Shouldn't someone fix that? Also, Volcanrona is the only pokemon that can learn fire dance by leveling up. Shouldn't that be included in the trivia?[[User:Fishmonk|Fishmonk]] 14:38, 17 February 2011 (UTC) | In the trivia section, it says that Volcanrona can learn magnet rise. It can't.

:It can. Via breeding with {{p|Forretress}}. {{m|Fire Dance}} is basically its [[signature move]], it's noted on move's page and in the list of signature moves.--[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 15:16, 17 February 2011 (UTC) | :It can.

On the game location section, it lists Volcarona's rarity as "Two". Shouldn't that be "One" or "One, Evolve" since the rarity is seperate for each version? (like for Throh it'd say "Rare (Black), Uncommon (White)?" [[User:Porygon-man|Porygon-man]] 06:06, 20 July 2011 (UTC) | On the game location section, it lists Volcarona's rarity as "Two".

== | == {{m|Flare Blitz}} == | ||
How do you get {{m|Flare Blitz}} onto Volcarona from a prior evolution? {{p|Larvesta}} doesn't learn Flare Blitz until level 100, and if I remember correctly, you can't evolve level 100 Pokémon. [[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 23:56, 6 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Um...level it up, Larvesta learns the moves, then evolves?....[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 23:58, 6 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
== | == What an Odd Base Stat. == | ||
Should it be pointed out in the article, about this...unusual situation? As Larvesta It has a Base Attack of 85 and a base Sp. Attack of 50. But when it evolves into Volcarona, Its Sp. Attack increases to 135, while its Attack *DROPS* to 60! Thats really weird! [[User:PowerPlantRaichu|PowerPlantRaichu]] 22:29, 15 October 2011 (UTC) | |||
:Still, it's not that weird. Any Pokémon can have stat changes. --[[User:YoshisWorld|<span style="color:#00FF00">'''☆ヨッシ'''</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/YoshisWorld|<span style="color:#CCFF33">'''ー'''</span>]] [[User talk:YoshisWorld|<span style="color:#FF0000">'''の世界☆'''</span>]] 23:56, 15 October 2011 (UTC) | |||

:::Hm. Alright. I guess i never payed much attention. Right now though, I'm completely distracted. Why? Cause why on earth was this thing standing on the floor in Relic Castle?

== Origin also based on a Madagascan sunset moth? == | |||
Read more about it here: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascan_sunset_moth]] | |||
It may also be based on that. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 12:06, 7 April 2012 (UTC) | |||
Link updated. Is it just me? or did someone else put the link to Motra article instead? Anyways here's the link now. | |||
Just click on it up there. Its the '''Madagascan Sunset Moth'''.[[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:48, 14 April 2012 (UTC) | |||
== What makes Volcarona a non legendary? == | |||
It has mythology mentioned in the dex entry, it is found at level 70 in the wild (or evolved from Larvesta which can only be obtained via eggs)... It seems that it has the makings of a legendary | |||
If it's about the evolving and the breeding, in generation 3 they introduced legendaries with genders and in generation 4 they introduced not only a legendary that could be either male or female (Heatran), but a legendary that can breed (Manaphy), so why couldn't generation 5 introduce a legendary that evolves from another Pokemon? | |||
Please, give me a reason OTHER than the evolving, because otherwise it's just a case of being arbitrary in my eyes, which makes no sense to me --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] 06:04, 12 April 2012 (UTC) | |||

:::That, I can live with. At least it is going, "Volcarona could be a legendary, but right now it's more likely it isn't" instead of, "BREEDING MEANS IT ISN'T A LEGENDARY DESPITE GAMEFREAK BREAKING PATTERNS BEFORE END OF DISCUSSION!"--[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] 07:09, 12 April 2012 (UTC) | |||

== Based On The Cecropia Moth == | |||
I saw one of these moths outside today and immediately knew that it was a "Larvesta/Volcarona" moth. Surprisingly, though, Bulbapedia didn't reference it. So here I am. | |||

:I'm going to assume you got that off of Google Translate, or some other translator. Please, do not use those to translate Dex entries. They tend to just translate them into gibberish. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:02, 9 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
:(edit conflict) Please don't try to use automatic online translators; while they may get the meanings of individual words correct, they mangle the grammar horribly. And in any case, [[User_talk:Taylor#Pok.C3.A9dex_Entries|it seems that the staff has decided to wait]] for the official English entries from the games themselves.

Should Bug Bite be removed because in BW2 it's teachable by a move tutor? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 01:13, 22 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
:No. It has subtext showing that it's only there for BW, where it is not teachable by move tutor. [[User:Crystal Talian|<span style="color:#9F00C5">Crystal</span>]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|<span style="color:#FF00FF">Talian</span>]] 01:18, 22 January 2013 (UTC) | |||

== Volcarona possibly influenced by human heart? == | |||
I know that in Latin, the word for heart is cor, and that anything to do with the heart is termed coronary, which is what the end of Volcarona's name is. Also, while it is very mothlike, the shape of Volcarona's body reminds me a lot of the human heart. Just look: [http://www.worldinvisible.com/images/apolog/body/heart4a.gif] Now compare that to Volcarona: [http://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/volcarona.jpg] | |||
[[User:Beastboy97|Beastboy97]] ([[User talk:Beastboy97|talk]]) 02:23, 19 February 2013 (UTC) | |||
:It doesn't look very much like a heart to me, personally. If the only way of connecting it to a heart is its appearance, it's not really enough to be included in the origin section. I know about the Latin term for heart, but everything in Volcarona's behavior, typing, and species name points to it simply being from the "corona" we use in relation to the sun (the word corona also comes from Latin, it means "crown"). If we had more than part of the name and the appearance (which is very subjective), we could include it. However, we do not at this time.

== "Volcarona appeared!" == | |||
Should it be noted in the trivia section that Volcarona is the only non-legendary Pokemon in BW and BW2 that doesn't have "A wild" before its "''X'' appeared" message at the beginning of a wild encounter? | |||
