Larvesta and Volcarona may be the most unique Pokemon introduced this generation. Not only is their Bug/Fire type combo totally unique, but they also have the highest level evolution of any Pokemon – Larvesta doesn't evolve into Volcarona until the ripe old level of 59. It's worth the extra effort though, because Volcarona is one of the fiercest bugs Pokemon has ever seen, with the highest Special Attack stat of any Bug-type.
