Overview:
-Porygon is a great special sweeper in Little Cup
-It has the type coverage that it needs in Tri Attack, Shadow Ball, and BoltBeam
-Agility or Trick Room can be used to patch up its speed
-Walled by special walls in Little Cup
[SET]
name: Agility
move 1: Agility
move 2: Tri Attack
move 3: Shadow Ball / Ice Beam
move 4: Thunderbolt / Ice Beam
item: Life Orb / Berry Juice
ability: Trace
nature: Modest / Timid
evs: 76 HP / 236 SpA / 196 Spe
Set Comments:
-Great late-game sweeper
-Has 18/19 Special Attack and 26 Speed after Agility
-Tri Attack is a great STAB attack
-Shadow Ball hits Ghosts that are immune to Tri Attack
-Thunderbolt hits Water-, Steel-, and Rock- types hard
Additional Comments:
-Ice Beam can be used to hit Dragon- and Ground-types hard
-Life Orb gives Porygon a significant power boost
-Berry Juice gives Porygon a lot of bulk
-Modest gives Porygon a Special Attack boost
-Timid allows Porygon to reach 28 Speed after an Agility, tying with 19 Speed Scarfers
-EVs give max Special Attack and Speed
[SET]
name: Choice
move 1: Tri Attack
move 2: Shadow Ball
move 3: Ice Beam
move 4: Thunderbolt
item: Choice Specs / Choice Scarf
nature: Timid
ability: Trace
evs: 156 HP / 156 SpA / 196 Spe
Set Comments:
-One of the few viable users of Choice Specs in Little Cup
-Also a very good Scarfer
-Reaches 25 Special Attack and 14 Speed with Choice Specs
-Reaches 17 Special Attack and 21 Speed with Choice Scarf
-Tri Attack is a strong STAB attack
-Shadow Ball hits the Ghost-types that are immune to Tri Attack
-Ice Beam is a good coverage move
-Thunderbolt complements Ice Beam almost perfectly and also hits Water-types hard
Additional Comments:
-Hidden Power Fighting is an option for perfect coverage with Shadow Ball
-EVs are the same as the first set except with a bit more bulk to make switching in and out easier
-If Scarf is used, the EVs from the first set should be used
-Timid gives Scarf the jump on all unboosted Pokemon (except for Gen IV Ubers)
-Modest is an option for Specs to gain a large power boost
Team Options:
-Entry hazard support is helpful to assist Porygon in its sweep
-Wynaut helps Porygon set up
-A Fighting- type is helpful to remove Munchlax (examples are Mankey and Machop)
-Stunky or Komatana is helpful to remove Ghosts so Porygon can spam Tri Attack without worry
Optional Changes:
-A Charge Beam set could be used with Agility but is difficult to set up
-Swift could be used with Download, as a Downloaded Swift is stronger than a Tri Attack
-Porygon can set up Trick Room very well
-A mixed set with Return could be used well with Download
-Recover can give Porygon survivability
-Psycho Shock can hit special walls for massive damage.
Counters:
-Munchlax walls anything that Porygon throws at it (except for a Downloaded Return)
-Fighting-types like Machop and Mankey can take it out easily but have trouble switching in
-Croagunk can do massive damage with Vacuum Wave
-Steel-types wall Porygon that lack Thunderbolt or Hidden Power Fighting
Dream World:
-Analyze could be very useful on the Choice Specs set, making everything extremely powerful. However, Porygon will have to take a hit or force a switch for it to work.
