Chandelure or Volcarona in Black and White?

Question

I am struggling to find a good Fire type in Pokemon White. I think Volcarona and Chandelure are both good, but I don't know which one to pick. I have a Level 80 Volcarona and will start training a Litwick if Chandelure is better.

Answer 1

I like both of them, but Volcarona has better stats other than SP. Attack than Chandelure (no offence to mine).

Volcarona has 3 weaknesses, as Chandelure has 5. Although Chandelure has got Fighting and Normal 100% resistances, Stats win out aganist weaknesses though.

Volcarona can learn Fly, which comes in handy as a feild move, and Chandelure learns none.....

On my opinion, Volcarnoa wins out against Chandelure, statistically...

Competitively though, Volcarona loses 50% HP from Stealth Rock :(

Yeah the thing about stealth rock is true and can be a ***** but otherwise Volcarona is the way to go ive just recently got both and rotate em out but id def take Volcarona over Chandlure

---

volcarona has a big weakness to rock and gets owned by stealth rock plus, you can counter 3 of chandelure's weaknesses with a grass move (energy ball is probably a good idea or, sunny day and solarbeam is also great combo because with sunny day you also get boosted fire moves) and it's pretty obvious to have a ghost type move on so you can counter ghosts.
but really i think both volcarona and chandelure are great, but if you see a dark type, get out of there!

and also, fly is pretty much useless on volcarona if you want to waste all that huge special attack.(unless for in-game moving)

i picked volcarona and now its lv.100 in my party so hard to train it

Answer 2

I would go with Chadelure. It has one or the best special attack in the game

Answer 3

Im going with Chadelure coz its got the ability flash fire

Comments

Yeah, and Volcarona has Flame Body.

---

they can have both.

Answer 4

I would personally say that it's your choice. In my opinion though I like to use Chandelure because it has all around decent stats and is very powerful. Chandelure is better for fighting online(I think). And Volcarona is definitely better off in-game(due to it's having able to learn fly and 50% health loss from stealth rock). Either way, I hope you can find one suitable for you to use cheers!

Answer 5

Though both are awesome, I'd go with
Volcarna for its speed,sp attack,and it can learn fly.

Fly? Fly on Volcarona? LOL

.>_<.!

Answer 6

I THOUGH chandelure was a good pokemon but i got a larvesta and im gonna train it to be a volcarona i choose volcarona cause it learn good move and plus it can learn fly so yea

Answer 7

I wouldn't exactly reccommend fly on Volcarona since his attack is lower than Larvesta's. But I personally love Volcarona. Also, he can raise his stats while Chandelure can't. Volcarona has amazing SP. Defence and speed aswell as SP> Attack. Combined with quiver dance which raises those two along with speed and you have yourself one powerful pokemon! Hope this helps. :)
