Porygon2 has found itself to be an excellent defensive staple for Normal teams, with Eviolite boosting its great defenses to a higher level. With the ability Trace, it's able to come in on certain Pokemon such as Intimidate Landorus- T, Stamina Archaludon, and Technician Scizor and utilize their abilities. Alternatively, Download can raise its Special Attack and deal good damage to more passive teams along with Flying- teams. Ice Beam helps to threaten Dragon- and Ground-type Pokemon such as Dragonite, Landorus, and Garchomp. Discharge can spread status while also threaten Flying- and Water-type Pokemon such as Corviknight and Pelipper. Hidden Power Fire can be used to take out opposing Steel-types like Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn. Substitute in conjunction with Download can give Porygon2 more opportunities to freely use Ice Beam or Discharge to threaten Flying-types. Porygon2 can utilize Teleport to bring in teammates such as Ursaluna and Mega Lopunny. Foul Play can also be used to check physical setup sweepers such as Mega Scizor and the Ogerpon formes. Mega Lopunny can take out Ghost- and Steel-types like Gholdengo and Heatran while also taking out Landorus, something Porygon2 can't wall; alternatively, Mega Pidgeot be used to deal with Mega Gallade and Keldeo. Chansey and Blissey provide a specially defensive core that can sponge special moves while taking advantage of entry hazards. Defensive Staraptor provides hazard control along with its ability Intimidate, making it easier to pivot Porygon2 in with U-turn. Hisuian Zoroark, with its Ghost typing and the ability Illusion, can bait in Fighting type moves if positioned to look like one of Porygon2's teammates while being able to take advantage of Teleport pivoting. Ursaluna is a powerful teammate that can deal high damage when switched in by Teleport and remove bulky walls such as Archaludon and Mega Sableye.
