#128687 Depends, if you want to use an item.
Fly takes 2 turns and does 90 damage; which would make both turns do 45 damage.
Acrobatics takes 1 turn and does 55 damage with an item and 110 damage without an item.

You can do the math, well I kinda did it already haha.

#128742 If you are gonna use acrobatics, you should use it on a physical attacker, like infernape.

#128746 Acrobatics is a physical move, and Volcarona is not a physical attacker. The flying STAB recommended for Volcarona is Hurricane. Acrobatics is better than fly on a pokemon that you do not give a held item (I personally have it on a gliscor). Also, keep in mind that Fly does not attack immediately.

STAB means a Same Type Attack Bonus; Volcarona is a Bug/Fire type, not Bug/Flying or Fire/Flying, thus Hurricane still works well, but wont get the STAB.

Hurricane is quite good but its a 70% chance to hit. I need a move thats 90%-100%. Any suggestions?

#128767 Besides the typical Quiver Dance/Bug Buzz/Fiery Dance, your other options for a fourth move include Sunny Day, Light Screen, Substitute, and Fire Blast (the power is worth the 85% accuracy).
