Okay let's get this rolling~

nominating:

Porygon @ Eviolite
Trait: Trace
EVs: 236 HP / 196 Def / 76 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Recover
- Tri Attack
- Ice Beam
- Charge Beam

Porygon is a beast, that was intoduced massively last end-metagame, before the return of Murkrow, Gligar, and Misdreavus. It worked great last metagame, and I'd like to see us make it work this metagame as well! It's like a bulky Abra; it boasts a lot of power while still having tons of bulk. Tri Attack is an AMAZING STAB which can also Burn, Freeze, or Paralyze. Charge Beam because boosting your Special Attack is sweet, and it also creates the BoltBeam coverage with Ice Beam. If we use Snover Porygon would prefer Blizzard. Recover is a great recovery move. Trace, however, is probably what makes Porygon so annoying. If we switch Porygon into Murkrow it gets Prankster, which will allow it to priority Recover. If the opponent switches Mienfoo as we switch Porygon we get Regenerator, or even if Slowpoke switches in. Magic Guard Abra is also an amazing Pokemon to switch into; taking no damage from weather, especially if we're using Snover, is BOSS.
