Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Name: Physical Defensive
Ability: Trace / Download
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
IVs: 0 Atk
Bold Nature
- Discharge
- Ice Beam
- Foul Play / Substitute

[SET DETAILS]
Porygon2 is an amazing physical wall on Normal teams due to its good bulk and access to Eviolite. Discharge threatens Flying- and Water-types like Corviknight, Gyarados, and Barraskewda. Ice Beam checks Ground-, Flying-, and Dragon-types like the Landorus-T, Dragonite, and Garchomp. Foul Play is a great anti-setup move that dissuades physical sweepers like Scizor, Baxcalibur, Ceruledge, and the Ogerpon formes from setting up. Substitute can be run over Foul Play, as it allows Porygon2 to block status from Toxapex and Amoonguss while also protecting itself from incoming threats like Great Tusk or Keldeo. However, doing so will make Porygon2 vulnerable into setup sweepers like Ogerpon-H and Gouging Fire due to not having Foul Play. Trace is the ideal ability for Porygon2 to copy Regenerator and Poison Heal from Toxapex and Gliscor, respectively. Trace also allows Porygon2 to copy Sword of Ruin, which helps it take hits from Chien-Pao better. Download can be run over Trace to make Porygon2 a bulky wallbreaker, making it notably effective in the Flying matchup by taking out Corviknight and Skarmory with ease.

Blissey is the ideal partner for Porygon2, forming a strong defensive core by providing a switch-in to special threats like Flutter Mane, Dragapult, and Choice Specs Greninja, while also spreading paralysis with Thunder Wave. Blissey also provides utility in setting up Stealth Rock. Braviary provides entry hazard removal with Defog for Porygon2 while also checking Sneasler, Ogerpon-W, and Breloom with Brave Bird. In return, Porygon2 deals with Iron Boulder and Ceruledge for Braviary with Foul Play. Choice Specs Hisuian Zoroark is a nice teammate due to its Fighting immunity, and it can threaten important targets like Urshifu-R, Gholdengo, non-Choice Scarf Heatran, and Pecharunt with Shadow Ball and Focus Blast. Calm Mind Ursaluna-B is a great wallbreaker, KOing defensive threats like Galarian Weezing, Gouging Fire, and Heatran at +1. Ursaluna-B is also a Knock Off absorber for Porygon2 due its bulk and access to Moonlight. Choice Scarf Indeedee is a great revenge killer, taking out Fighting- and Poison-types like mixed Iron Valiant, Zamazenta, and Clodsire, and it can use Healing Wish to bring Porygon2 back to full health if it gets weakened. Ditto becomes a great reverse sweeper for Porygon2 by transforming into sweepers like Gouging Fire and Chien-Pao. Cinccino not only removes hazards and boosts its stats with Tidy Up, but also threatens a lot of specially bulky Pokemon with Bullet Seed, Rock Blast, and Triple Axel for Porygon2, most notably Articuno and Swampert. Cinccino can also run a Choice Band set to potentially wallbreak, letting it OHKO Clodsire with Triple Axel. Terapagos can run an offensive utility set with Rapid Spin for Porygon2, but it can also become a fierce setup sweeper with Calm Mind and Tera Starstorm. Terapagos notably threatens Steel-types like Excadrill and Heatran with Earth Power, which Porygon2 appreciates.

[SET DETAILS]
Porygon2 is an amazing physical wall on Normal teams due to its good bulk and access to Eviolite. Discharge threatens Flying- and Water-types like Corviknight, Gyarados, and Toxapex. Ice Beam checks Ground-, Flying-, and Dragon-types like the Landorus formes, Gliscor, Zapdos, and Dragonite Garchomp (Garchomp in particular is a massive pain for Normal as Braviary can't freely use Brave Bird against it and there are no Dragon Tail immunites). Foul Play is a great anti-setup move that deals with dissuades physical sweepers like Scizor, Baxcalibur, and the Ogerpon formes from setting up. (Substitute needs to be mentioned as it allows Porygon2 to block status from Toxapex and Gliscor as well as allows it to protect itself from oncoming threats like Great Tusk or Keldeo) Trace is the ideal ability for Porygon2 to copy threats ability and tank hits more successfully like Chien-Pao's Swords of Ruin and Thick Fat Mamoswine (Trace copying these abilities doesn't help Porygon2; Sword of Ruin would just lower Chien-Pao's Defense stat which Porygon2 doesn't care for and Mamoswine would rather use Earthquake or Knock Off against it rather than an Ice-type move. Porygon2 likes switching into Regenerator users like Toxapex or Rough Skin Garchomp for example. Trace is preferred because Download isn't consistent but it has merits when it does boost SpA).

Blissey is the ideal partner for Porygon2 forming a strong defensive core. Blissey also provides utility in setting up Stealth Rock and spreading paralysis with Thunder Wave onto special threats like Flutter Mane, Hisuian Zoroark (HiZo in particular is a bit of an iffy example as it can Trick Blissey a Choiced Item and can be illusioned as Gholdengo or Ursaluna-BM to prevent Blissey from using Thunder Wave, while still being threatening to Porygon2 due to Focus Blast), and Choice Specs Greninja. Braviary provides hazard removal with Defog for Porygon2 while also checking Sneasler, Ogerpon-W, and Breloom with Brave Bird. In return Porygon2 deals Iron Boulder and Mamoswine (Foul Play is a 3HKO and Mamoswine often uses Knock Off which is detrimental for Porygon2) for Braviary with Foul Play. Choice Specs Hisuian Zoroark is a nice teammate due to its Fighting immunity being able to take out Heatran, Gholdengo, and Kingambit with Shadow Ball and Focus Blast (This reads as if Hisuian Zoroark's Fighting-type immunity directly helps with those mentions which it might for Focus Blast Gholdengo but not for the other two). Hisuian Zoroark can disguise itself as Porygon2 to make it tricky for the opponent to know which is real, thus creating mind games (Wouldn't Trace/Download not activating give this away instantly?). Calm Mind Ursaluna-B is a great wallbreaker taking out defensive threats like Galarian Weezing, Gouging Fire, and Heatran at +1. Choice Scarf Indeedee is a great revenge killer, taking out Fighting- and Poison-types like Mixed Attacker Iron Valiant, Zamazenta, and Clodsire. Ditto is a great reverse sweeper for Porygon2 by transforming into sweepers like Kingambit (Kingambit rarely uses Low Kick compared to Iron Head/Kowtow Kleave so I'd change the example) and Ceruledge. Cinccino not only removes hazards and get at +1 boost with Tidy Up, but it also threatens alot of types with Bullet Seed, Rock Blast, and Triple Axel for Porygon2 (Notably threatens Articuno and Swampert). Terapagos can also be offensive utility with Rapid Spin for Porygon, but also become a fierce setup sweeper with Calm Mind and Tera Starstorm. (Terapagos notably scares out Steel-types)

[OTHER OPTIONS]
===============
Substitute combined with Download can be run over Foul Play to act as a bulky wallbreaker. But doing so will make Porygon2 vulnerable into setup sweepers due to not having Foul Play. (Since those are in the initial set, they should be in the first paragraph)

Ability: Trace / Download
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA

Bold Nature
- Discharge

[SET DETAILS]
Porygon2 is an amazing physical wall on Normal teams due to its good bulk and access to Eviolite. Discharge threatens Flying- and Water-types like Corviknight, Gyarados, and Toxapex (this feels a bit of a misunderstanding on P2 does, yes Toxapex will be hit with discharge but as much as possible, if P2 doesnt have sub you'll get toxic'ed so it would be wiser not to. On the other hand Barra might feel more natural since you're likely swapping into it [they cant always click CC, Liquidation is a 3HKO if jolly] and you threaten it out) . Ice Beam checks Ground-, Flying-, and Dragon-types like the Landorus formes, Gliscor, Zapdos, and Garchomp (similar complaint here, Lando-I almost OHKO'es the duck with Focus Blast, if you cant reliably trace Gliscor you'd probably get more trouble than what the duck asked for, Zapdos is barely passable since hurricane can't break it, DDNite might be a better option to add instead). Foul Play is a great anti-setup move that dissuades physical sweepers like Scizor, Baxcalibur, and the Ogerpon formes from setting up (add cerul here). Substitute can be run over Foul Play as it allows Porygon2 to block status from Toxapex and Gliscor (keep in mind glisc is faster anyway, so its more on predicting swap ins if ever), while also protecting itself from oncoming threats like Great Tusk or Keldeo. But doing so will make Porygon2 vulnerable into setup sweepers (that dont care about the bolt-beam combo) due to not having Foul Play. Trace is the ideal ability for Porygon2 to copy Regenerator or Rough Skin from Toxapex and Garchomp (copying Pressure from corv, Poison Heal to troll Gliscor is better. Garchomp isnt hitting with a contact move anyway). Trace also allows Porygon2 to copy Swords of Ruin which helps Porygon2 tank hits from Chien-Pao better. Download can be run over Trace to make Porygon2 a bulky wallbreaker. (this majorly helps in flying)

Blissey is the ideal partner for Porygon2 forming a strong defensive core (because it swaps into special threats, take the examples from the twave targets and mention you can twave them there). Blissey also provides utility in setting up Stealth Rock and spreading paralysis with Thunder Wave onto special threats like Flutter Mane, Dragapult, and Choice Specs Greninja. Braviary provides hazard removal with Defog for Porygon2 while also checking Sneasler, Ogerpon-W, and Breloom with Brave Bird. In return Porygon2 deals with Iron Boulder and Ceruledge for Braviary with Foul Play. Choice Specs Hisuian Zoroark is a nice teammate due to its Fighting immunity being able to take out Gholdengo, Archaludon (p2 is likely to beat Archalu, maybe shifu could be a better example?), and non-Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott (has sucker punch) with Shadow Ball and Focus Blast. Calm Mind Ursaluna-B is a great wallbreaker taking out defensive threats like Galarian Weezing, Gouging Fire, and Heatran at +1 (its also an ok knock absorber since it has recovery and doesnt really mind since its really bulky). Choice Scarf Indeedee is a great revenge killer, taking out Fighting- and Poison-types like Mixed Attacker Iron Valiant, Zamazenta, and Clodsire (and can H.Wish p2 in the off chance it gets debilitated). Ditto is a great reverse sweeper for Porygon2 by transforming into sweepers like Gouging Fire and Ceruledge (swap cerul for a non-fire mon, for instance copying Chien-Pao can murk Dark heavily). Cinccino not only removes hazards and get at +1 boost with Tidy Up, but it also threatens alot of types with Bullet Seed, Rock Blast, and Triple Axel for Porygon2,, notably Articuno and Swampert (it can run a choice band set to potentially wallbreak too). Terapagos can also be offensive utility with Rapid Spin for Porygon, but also become a fierce setup sweeper with Calm Mind and Tera Starstorm. Terapagos notably threatens Steel-types like Excadrill and Heatran with Earth Power.
