Porygon @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Download
Level: 5
EVs: 36 Def / 236 SpA / 196 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tri Attack
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Trick

Porygon's great ability in Download and wide range of coverage options make it a potent wallbreaker in LC, dealing massive damage to a majority of the tier. Tri Attack acts as Porygon's main STAB option, comfortably dealing with foes that do not resist it, primarily Fighting-types like Mienfoo. BoltBeam coverage in Thunderbolt and Ice Beam threaten a myriad of threats, with the former dealing with Pokemon such as Staryu and Vullaby, and the latter taking care of Pokemon like Onix, while Trick cripples walls such as Ferroseed. However, Porygon is susceptible to priority users such as Timburr and Grookey and can be easily dealt with by Trapinch if locked into the wrong move. Pokemon like Abra and Spritzee pair well with Porygon by threatening Fighting-types like Mienfoo and Timburr. Those same Fighting-type Pokemon also team up well with Porygon, as they deal with Porygon's primary switch-ins, Ferroseed and Pawniard.

being able to OHKO or 2HKO a majority of the tier, especially when boosted by Download.
Not a huge fan of that line. Can we change it to something a bit more general. Like does massive damage to? I know the facebook/twitter staff AND the GPers might hate me for that one though.

We don't really mention Trick in this, one of the reasons to run trick is locking down big threats like ferroseed. It's super valuable in that matchup. I'd rework the Ice Beam line to compliment a trick sentence.

Abra and Spritzee
not a huge fan of spritzee as an example but it fits as it can handle priority from the previous mentions.

ironically
please change this word.

Looks great though!
