Yes, I see where you're coming from with the Volcarona but unless you switch Kabutops in on the turn that sticky web is put out it seems rather pointless to me. Coming from past experience, I'd rather sweep with a sweeper and leave clearing to someone with more survivability. I replaced Rapid Spin on my Kabutops purely out of play style and preference. I basically never used it even if traps were out purely because Kabutops wasnt always first to the fight so switch in on them was going to happen if they were on the field. I'm not saying don't have a rapid spinner, but Kabutops just didnt fit that for me. Its just something to consider.
