Hariyama @ Choice Band
Ability: Guts
Tera Type: Steel / Dark / Ghost
EVs: 12 HP / 200 Atk / 252 SpD / 44 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Ice Punch / Tera Blast
- Close Combat
- Knock Off / Tera Blast
- Bullet Punch

Choice Band is a set I think I'd consider to bluff the standard Bulk Up sets. Dipplin in my brain seems annoying and you have the Ice Punch presence but it relies also on getting turns right. Any form of paralysis feels really supportive for a set in paralysis supportive Pokemon like Static + Discharge Bellibolt, Thunder Wave Qwilfish and Rotom-H, and GULP MISSLE CRAMORANT. Some images for the aesthetic and vibes: :dipplin: :bellibolt: :qwilfish: :rotom-heat: :cramorant:

Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 140 HP / 92 Atk / 72 Def / 132 SpD / 72 Spe

You use Taunt to break walls. EVs are just based on vibes.

Cycle 4: What Was I Made For? - Porygon2
:sv/porygon2:
Porygon2 sits alone on the ZUBL roster with no sets! Porygon2 has a few flaws in being over reliant to Eviolite, thus making it passive against Knock Off users that contests its durability. Defensively, Porygon2 has to terastalize to prevent itself from being a worn down by Toxic or against offensive threats like Pawmot and setup sweepers. The deadline for submissions will end on August 29th.
None!

Fun Fact: There are only a handful of Pokemon in PU that have a higher Defense than Special Defense. So if you bring a Download Porygon2 into something, 9 times out of 10 it's getting an Attack boost. Therefore, I've come up with this monstrosity:
porygon2.png

Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Ability: Download
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 48 HP / 252 Atk / 124 SpA / 84 Spe
Lonely Nature
- Double-Edge
- Ice Beam
- Shadow Ball
- Recover

Presenting physically biased mixed P2. As mentioned, most of the time this Pokemon comes in with Download you'll be getting an immediate +1 to your Attack, making the Double-Edge extremely hard hitting. Even funnier, this boost lets P2 KO almost every Fighting type in the tier, so Tera Poison is used to resist those pesky Close Combats while not being weak to the common Knock Off like Tera Ghost is, thought you could probably also use Fairy if you want to. The given spread allows you to deal the most damage with Double-Edge, while also taking on Normal resists/immunities or just generally physically bulky mons like Rhydon, Houndstone, and Mudsdale, 2HKOing each of them after Stealth Rock. It also allows you to outspeed most other defensive Pokemon, specifically everything up to Wo-Chien's uninvested base 70. I'd recommend pairing this with hazard support and something to deal with the fighting types that will give P2 trouble. Palossand and Qwilfish are both excellent options for this role, with the latter even offering pivoting to try to ensure P2 gets the boost it wants. Knock Off users also pair well to ensure Boots, Leftovers, and Eviolites are removed, allowing P2 to do more damage and make sure the damage sticks.
 
Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Ability: Download
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Tera Blast
- Ice Beam
- Trick Room
- Recover

This is the set I brought to PUPL and a couple of other tours and it's basically just OTR sweeper that tries to abuse the bulk a bit more than something that goes for 3 attacks / double edge. I think ice/ghost coverage at a minimum is mandatory so some combo of tera blast/ice beam/shadow ball has to be there, this just felt like the sweet spot of not being absolutely mandatory to keep tera for it (if you run no tera blast it's just too weak pre-tera), but makes its least important coverage the one reliant on tera (ghost is too useful to drop but also unnecessary in plenty of matchups). The set actively sacrifices fitting thunderbolt or something for milotic because your goal is to get it toxic'd beforehand and then p2 can just stall it out. Basically it's a slow sweeper that mandates toxic support from stuff like salazzle and provides some defensive utility especially when it comes to making hoopa's clicks less free.
