I have to give props to a guy I beat and Random Matchup... my Porygon 2 stood alone against a Jellicent and a Krookadile (doubles) and stalled them both... and he didn't forfeit or even better, rage-quit. He stayed till the bitter end...
But I must say, I have serious faith in Porygon 2 even if it doesn't always do all too well.
I have seen a couple cheaters on there... one of which REALLY didn't like the sight of a Simple Volcarona (Simple Beam+ Quiver Dance? could've been so beautiful) and thus D/Ced... the other fell to my Bisharp and rightfully so...
He likely didn't forfeit for the same reason that I usually don't: To have a chance at a random crit. Those can sometimes let you make a comeback.
I rarely see phychic pokemon during randoms, except for maybe a starmie or two.
I have one on my current team too. I'm running Thunderbolt, Phychic, Ice Beam and Surf. I had grass knot before Phychic, but I seen a lot of people had fighting so I had to change it.I use Starmie on all my teams, it's very useful especially alongside Zoroark. The only downside is that Scrafty use Crunch instead of Drain Punch, which makes my Counter only deal about 60% instead of OHKO'ing, which forces me to rely on Focus Blast's horrid accuracy to beat it.

I use Psyshock over Psychic for the rare Chansey/Blissey, but it messes me up when I face a BU Conkeldurr with max SpD, etc.
I think I'll start using a Starmie, since it's fast and is a good counter to Hippowdon and to some degree Vaporeon (Toxic can't hurt me that bad because of natural cure).I don't think I ran into any Blissey. Psyshock is too risky to go with the rest of my pokemon. I rely a lot on Starmie to rid the annoying dragons.

And Virizion, what Zoroark set do you run? I've never seen one/knew that it learned counter...
Zoroark @ Focus Sash
Hasty
252Spe/252SpA/4HP
Counter
Focus Blast
Night Daze
Flamethrower
I think Zoroark is to frail for nasty plot. By the time you set up you could already be dead by the end of the turn, howerever with it's ability it does by some time for you to set up well enough to sweep.Meh... Mine's timid with dark pulse over night daze and nasty plot over counter. I might make a new one w/ counter once I feel less lazy.

I've never seen it used skillfully, which is unfortunate, because I like Zoroark and want to see it be worth a team slot. Whenever I see Zoroark on a team roster, I just refrain from using Psychic, and whatever I used instead OHKOs it anyway. I've lost ~80 battles, but never against someone who used a Zoroark. Of course, this is in double battles.
Lol how useful is that bidoof? I've only stalled out 2 things with it (granted that I only used it in like 4 matches, but that's beside the point.), but you seem to use it alot, which I find pretty funny.Battle video - 70-86331-56024
I must admit I did nothing skillfully with it (Not much skill involved in just clicking the right attack), but it is very useful for me. This battle is an example how I have the win/loss ratio that I currently do; I often lead with Zoro and Counter to kill things like TTar or just get damage in on things like Jolteon.
Also, it's unfortunate that Bidoof didn't do anything besides the semi-useful Toxic.
