Project Break My Team! 1v1 (Cycle 20 at Post #551)

Apparently Snorlax is banned, but I put a lot of time into this so I'm going to post it anyway.

:snorlax:
Snorlax @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Immunity
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 32 Atk / 144 Def / 144 SpD
Hardy Nature
- Belly Drum
- Earthquake
- Counter
- Outrage

0 SpA Pecharunt Malignant Chain vs. 0 HP / 144 SpD Snorlax: 78-93 (16.9 - 20.1%) -- possible 5HKO

+5 32 Atk Snorlax Earthquake vs. 224 HP / 0 Def Pecharunt: 374-440 (100.2 - 117.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
92+ SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Hydro Pump vs. 0 HP / 144 SpD Snorlax: 178-211 (38.6 - 45.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
92+ SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 144 SpD Snorlax: 211-249 (45.7 - 54%) -- 46.9% chance to 2HKO

32 Atk Snorlax Outrage vs. 120 HP / 68 Def Walking Wake: 194-230 (52.5 - 62.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
If Urshifu uses Wicked Blow or Low Sweep on turn 1, Counter is a OHKO. If not, Snorlax can survive a second hit and 2HKO with Counter.

140+ Atk Urshifu Iron Head vs. 0 HP / 144 Def Snorlax: 104-123 (22.5 - 26.6%) -- 26.9% chance to 4HKO
140+ Atk Urshifu Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 144 Def Snorlax: 135-160 (29.2 - 34.7%) -- 7.9% chance to 3HKO
140+ Atk Urshifu Wicked Blow vs. 0 HP / 144 Def Snorlax on a critical hit: 219-258 (47.5 - 55.9%) -- 78.5% chance to 2HKO
140+ Atk Urshifu Low Sweep vs. 0 HP / 144 Def Snorlax: 254-300 (55 - 65%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
 
I tried really hard to make :porygon: Porygon work, but I fell short :|
I'll be proud of anyone who can make it work. I think it's fun to try with no prior knowledge first; for those who are curious, here are my findings:
{Curly brackets} used to reference calcs
Download gives +1 SpA against this entire team :D
{1, 2} 248 HP / 116 SpD EVs required to live Urshifu Low Sweep and Wake Draco Meteor; there might be a slightly more optimal EV spread for this
{3} Choice Specs / Life Orb / Normal Gem required to OHKO Wake with Hyper Beam; Urshifu is more specially frail than Wake so it also dies
{4, 5, 6} Life Orb requires 112 SpA, Normal Gem requires 108 SpA, Specs requires no SpA investment
{7, 8, 9, 10} Even the most powerful sets get Parting Shot Recover stalled if they try to kill Pecha with brute force
{11, 12} Specs can use Trick to force Malignant Chain spam from Turn 2 onwards, but it loses to Turn 1 Curse; it can't kill Pecha after Curse, Malignant Chain + Curse chip kills Porygon if it tries to Rest stall, and Malignant Chain's 50% chance to toxic poison and confuse every turn makes Recover stall very unlikely to work (keep in mind Porygon is already taking >50% every turn before it gets poisoned)
{13} Life Orb can use Conversion Shadow Ball to resist Malignant Chain and become powerful enough to kill Pecha after Curse (even if it Parting Shots), but Pecha can force a 50/50 by delaying Curse until Porygon is about to die from chip damage, not to mention Malignant Chain poison & confusion
{1} 140+ Atk Urshifu Low Sweep vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Porygon: 288-342 (86.4 - 102.7%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
{2} 92+ SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Draco Meteor vs. 248 HP / 116 SpD Porygon: 286-337 (85.8 - 101.2%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
{3} +1 144+ SpA Wise Glasses Porygon Hyper Beam vs. 120 HP / 4 SpD Walking Wake: 348-411 (94.3 - 111.3%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO (Wise Glasses is the next best boosting item that has a potential use in the Pecharunt matchup)
{4} +1 112 SpA Life Orb Porygon Hyper Beam vs. 120 HP / 4 SpD Walking Wake: 363-426 (98.3 - 115.4%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO
{5} +1 108 SpA Normal Gem Porygon Hyper Beam vs. 120 HP / 4 SpD Walking Wake: 360-424 (97.5 - 114.9%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO
{6} +1 0 SpA Choice Specs Porygon Hyper Beam vs. 120 HP / 4 SpD Walking Wake: 367-433 (99.4 - 117.3%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
{7} 144+ SpA Choice Specs Porygon Psychic vs. 224 HP / 252+ SpD Pecharunt: 170-202 (45.5 - 54.1%) -- 41.8% chance to 2HKO
{8} -1 144+ SpA Choice Specs Porygon Psychic vs. +1 224 HP / 252+ SpD Pecharunt: 78-92 (20.9 - 24.6%) -- guaranteed 5HKO
{9} 144+ SpA Choice Specs Porygon Psyshock vs. 224 HP / 0 Def Pecharunt: 130-154 (34.8 - 41.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
{10} -1 144+ SpA Choice Specs Porygon Psyshock vs. 224 HP / 0 Def Pecharunt: 88-104 (23.5 - 27.8%) -- 77.5% chance to 4HKO
{11} +1 144+ SpA Porygon Psychic vs. 224 HP / 252+ SpD Pecharunt: 170-202 (45.5 - 54.1%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO (Pecha chipped by Curse)
{12} 0 SpA Choice Specs Pecharunt Malignant Chain vs. +1 252 HP / 252+ SpD Porygon: 84-100 (25.1 - 29.9%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
{13} 60+ SpA Life Orb Porygon Shadow Ball vs. 224 HP / 252+ SpD Pecharunt: 182-218 (48.7 - 58.4%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO (Pecha chipped by Curse, Ghost-type Porygon from Conversion)
 
:garchomp: Garchomp @ Life Orb

SCRAPPED (whoops, Curse doesn't make Pecha lose HP if the target is already cursed)
Poliwrath @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Water Absorb
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 244 HP / 44 Def / 184 SpD
Careful Nature
- Scary Face
- Encore
- Rest
- Low Kick
Use Scary Face to get the speed advantage
If it used Curse, Encore it to kill
If it used Malignant Chain, Encore it, then use Rest
Covert Cloak prevents Malignant Chain poison+confusion
If it uses Curse after the Encore ends, you wake up just in time to Encore it again, and you have enough HP left to survive the Curse chip before it dies
0 SpA Pecharunt Malignant Chain vs. 244 HP / 184+ SpD Poliwrath: 79-94 (20.6 - 24.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO (50% HP Poliwrath to account for Curse chip)
If it uses Malignant Chain again, you do Encore + Rest again and it runs out of Malignant Chain PP
Pecharunt's Parting Shot & Recover run out of PP before your Scary Face & Low Kick, forcing it to Curse and allowing you to Encore it to kill it
Use Scary Face to get the speed advantage, then Encore on the next turn
If it used Flamethrower / Hydro Pump / Aqua Jet, easy kill with Low Kicks
0 Atk Poliwrath Low Kick (120 BP) vs. 120 HP / 68 Def Walking Wake: 124-147 (33.6 - 39.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
92+ SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Flamethrower vs. 244 HP / 184+ SpD Poliwrath: 49-58 (12.8 - 15.1%) -- possible 7HKO
If it used Draco Meteor, use Rest before Low Kicking; you'll survive the 2 Dracos before Rest and the 5 Dracos after it
92+ SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Draco Meteor over 2 turns vs. 244 HP / 184+ SpD Poliwrath: 322-380 (84.2 - 99.4%) -- not a KO
-4 92+ SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Draco Meteor over 2 turns vs. 244 HP / 184+ SpD Poliwrath: 126-149 (32.9 - 39%) -- not a KO
-6 92+ SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Draco Meteor over 2 turns vs. 244 HP / 184+ SpD Poliwrath: 108-128 (28.2 - 33.5%) -- not a KO
140+ Atk Urshifu Low Sweep vs. 244 HP / 44 Def Poliwrath: 108-127 (28.2 - 33.2%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
0 Atk Poliwrath Low Kick (100 BP) vs. 104 HP / 252 Def Urshifu: 164-194 (44.6 - 52.8%) -- 24.6% chance to 2HKO

Curse will fail and not kill Pecharunt if you Encore it

Perhaps using a move that can damage Pecharunt will fix it?

Low Kick was pretty vital to my previous strat, so here's a new one:
:poliwrath: Poliwrath @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Water Absorb
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Belly Drum
- Earthquake
- Low Kick
- Substitute
Belly Drum + Earthquake to kill

If it uses Curse turn 1:
Malignant Chain turn 2: you live and OHKO
0 SpA Pecharunt Malignant Chain vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Poliwrath: 76-90 (19.7 - 23.4%) -- possible 5HKO
+6 0 Atk Poliwrath Earthquake vs. 224 HP / 0 Def Pecharunt: 364-430 (97.5 - 115.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO (Pecharunt is at 50% HP after Curse)
Parting Shot turn 2: you still OHKO
+5 0 Atk Poliwrath Earthquake vs. 224 HP / 0 Def Pecharunt: 318-376 (85.2 - 100.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO (Pecharunt is at 50% HP after Curse)
Recover spam: you outdamage it

If it uses Malignant Chain turn 1:
Parting Shot turn 2: you 2HKO and still outdamage Recover
+5 0 Atk Poliwrath Earthquake vs. 224 HP / 0 Def Pecharunt: 318-376 (85.2 - 100.8%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
anything else: you OHKO
+6 0 Atk Poliwrath Earthquake vs. 224 HP / 0 Def Pecharunt: 364-430 (97.5 - 115.2%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO
Use Substitute turn 1, then 3HKO with Low Kick

Flamethrower: suboptimal because Draco Meteor is required to break Substitute before it dies
-2 92+ SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Poliwrath: 23-28 (5.9 - 7.2%) -- possibly the worst move ever

Flamethrower turn 2-3: Draco Meteor can't kill in time
92+ SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Poliwrath: 202-238 (52.6 - 61.9%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO (Poliwrath is at 233 HP after max roll Flamethrower + Substitute)
Draco Meteor: can't kill in time
-2 92+ SpA Protosynthesis Walking Wake Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Poliwrath: 102-120 (26.5 - 31.2%) -- 6.6% chance to 2HKO
