 ==Biology==
-Volcarona is a large, moth-like Pokémon with four small feet. It appears to have compound eyes that are two shades of blue, and there is a red horn-like structure on each side of its face. The fuzz on its upper body is smoky white and tangled. Its abdomen is black in the center and light blue with black dots on the outside. It has six leaf-like wings that are orange in color and have small black spots. Volcarona releases fiery scales from its wings to create a sea of fire. It is said that its fires can replace the sun when it is dark with ash, and it has been known to rescue freezing Pokémon. It can cloak itself with fire and dance to use its [[signature move]], {{m|Fiery Dance}}.

The fuzz on its upper body is smoky white and tangled. Its abdomen is black in the center and light blue with black dots on the outside. It has six leaf-like wings that are orange in color and have small black spots.
+Volcarona releases burning scales from its wings to engulf the battlefield in a sea of fire. Volcarona's flames are said to provide a replacement for the sun when the atmosphere is dark with volcanic ash, and some legends claim that it hatched from a flaming cocoon to save people and Pokémon in freezing climates. It was feared as the "rage of the sun" by ancient people, and it was even worshipped in some places; Volcarona's shrine in [[Relic Castle]] remains as a testament to this.
+Volcarona is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Fiery Dance}}.

 ==Trivia==
 * No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Volcarona and its {{p|Larvesta|pre-evolution}}.
-** Volcarona and its pre-evolution are also the only Pokémon with a double weakness to the {{type|Rock}} that are not {{type|Flying}}s.
-*** This makes them the Pokémon most vulnerable to [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazard]]s, taking maximum damage from {{m|Stealth Rock}} while also being affected by {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and {{m|Sticky Web}}.
 * Larvesta takes the longest to go through a single stage of evolution of all Pokémon, evolving at level 59.
 * Volcarona shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Sunflora}}. They are all known as the Sun Pokémon.
+** It also shares its category with {{p|Solgaleo}} in Japanese, as Solgaleo is also known as the Sun Pokémon in that language.
 * Volcarona is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 550.
 * Volcarona and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon that are neither {{pkmn2|Legendary}} nor {{pkmn2|Mythical}} that learn a move upon reaching level 100.
 ===Origin===
-Volcarona is based on a moth, particularly the {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}} or {{wp|Hyalophora cecropia|cecropia moth}}. Conceptually, it seems to be derived from the phrase "like a moth to a flame", which refers to the observed positive {{wp|phototaxis}} demonstrated by moths. It may be based on a {{wp|solar deity}}. Its wings may be based on the petals of a {{wp|Lilium lancifolium|tiger lily}}, having the same number of extensions, black spots, and red-orange coloring. The black spots on its wings may also represent the {{wp|sunspot|dark spots on the sun}}. The head and antennae of Volcarona bear a resemblance to the headpiece of {{wp|Hathor}}, which depicts the horns of the goddess cradling a disk representing the sun in between. Volcarona's appearance may also be loosely based on a {{wp|seraph}}, a type of angel that is often associated with fire, as its name literally translates to "burning one". Like Volcarona, seraphim are often depicted with six red wings and no legs.
