Battle Moveset

A Good Moveset for Volbeat would have to be this:

Attacks:

Tail Glow
Moonlight
Baton Pass
Signal Beam

Items Attached:

Lum Berry

Preferred Nature:

Impish

Strategy Using Volbeat

Volbeat has one unique move and that is, tail glow, which greatly increases special attack. It also has Signal beam, which isn't a bad bug move and can help out in a pinch. Its defense is rather poor but with its special defense it should take at least one special attack (except if its one of its weaknesses such as fire) Moonlight to recover any damage Volbeat gains and use Tail glow to increase your special attack, baton pass this onto a special sweeper and sweep away. The Lum berry is there incase of status effects that may hinder the full potential of this moveset.
Not much else can be said about this little bug except that it can be useful if used right.
