I took mine out, but Stealth Rocks are nailing my Volcarona by 49%. Is a Defogger needed?

For teams that have 4x weakness to rocks they're pretty much needed. It sucks because defoggers tend to be offensively impaired. Exceptions being excadrill (spinner) and LatiOs

Pretty much what Itachi said. Pokémon with 4x weakness will get absolutely fucked over if you can't get rid of it, and it basically puts you at a huge disadvantage because you can't safely switch out without taking massive damage.

I pretty much almost always carry a Pokémon who can get rid of it or prevent one from setting them up (spinner, defog, taunt). The latter requires some prediction though.
