I'll be training a Larvesta from level 1 later, so expect more on Volcarona and their level up moveset in a bit.

 

[jake]

Larvesta level-up moveset:

Lv1 Ember
Lv1 String Shot
Lv10 Leech Life
Lv20 Take Down
Lv30 Flame Charge
Lv40 Bug Bite
Lv50 Double-Edge

Volcarona level-up moveset:

Lv59 Quiver Dance
Lv60 Heat Wave

I'll be taking it all the way to 100 to confirm that it remains the same as last gen, as well as getting up another Larvesta. Seems very likely that nothing will change, though.

Edit: relearner moves for a level 63 Volcarona are the following:

Ember
String Shot
Fiery Dance (learned at lv100 for Volcarona)
Hurricane (learned at lv90 for Volcarona)
Rage Powder (learned at lv80 for Volcarona)
Flare Blitz (learned at lv100 for Larvesta)
Thrash (learned at lv90 for Larvesta)
Amnesia (learned at lv80 for Larvesta)
Bug Buzz (learned at lv70 for both)
Flame Wheel (learned at lv60 for Larvesta)
Leech Life
Gust (learned at lv20 for Volcarona)
Fire Spin (learned at lv30 for Volcarona)
Whirlwind (learned at lv40 for Volcarona)
Silver Wind (learned at lv50 for Volcarona)

My Volcarona also knows Heat Wave, Flame Charge, Take Down, and Quiver Dance, so these moves could possibly be omitted from this list simply because I already have them in my moveslots.

What's interesting about this list is that it contains a large number of moves that I haven't ever learned or been prompted to learn, and omits a few moves that I have learned. Also, it includes a number of moves from both Larvesta and Volcarona, such as Fiery Dance and Flare Blitz (which are the latest possible moves either Pokemon can learn, at lv100). Did they just buff Volcarona's lv1 movepool that much? ?_?

It does not get Double-Edge or Bug Bite from the move relearner, despite having learned them at level 50 and 40 respectively.


If anyone else has a Volcarona and can confirm the above, that'd be cool. I'd like to make sure it's nothing to do with breeding shenanigans or anything like that.

Foresight is an egg move for Larvesta. (Not that I was actually intending to find this out...)

 

[Darkprophet]

Morning Sun is still an egg move (not that i'm sure this would have changed.), and Giga Drain, Whirlwind, and Silver Wind are NOT egg moves. I tested with a Beautifly.

 

[Sprocket]

The following are NOT Larvesta egg moves (tested with a male Butterfree and female Larvesta):

-Tailwind
-Psybeam
-Bug Bite
-Silver Wind
-Poison Powder
-Stun Spore
-Sleep Powder
-Whirlwind

 

[TheMantyke]

Tried breeding Sweet Scent onto Larvesta so it could be the ultimate in-game helper Pokemon.

Sweet Scent and by extension Psybeam are not egg moves for Larvesta.

 

[Cordyceps]

Powder is NOT an egg move, surprisingly enough.

 

[Keldeo DeArtagnan]

Neither is Draining Kiss, sadly. I tested this with Vivillon (I don't know why I expected Volcarona to learn that).

 

[hello779]

Uh unless Bug Buzz goes through substitute, Volcarona has infiltrator apparently?

Not sure but it went through my Substitute.

Bug Buzz does go through substitute, it's a sound based move.
