Thanks to its Eviolite-boosted bulk, Porygon2 is able to function as a specially defensive pivot that checks attackers like Gardevoir, Choice Specs Inteleon, and Heliolisk and use Teleport to safely bring in fragile wallbreakers. Unfortunately, its need to run Eviolite to boost its bulk leaves it without recovery from Leftovers or entry hazard mitigation from Heavy-Duty Boots. Porygon2 is also vulnerable to Knock Off users such as Salazzle as well as Pokemon that can easily take advantage of it like Bewear, Steelix, and Scrafty. Ice Beam hits Pokemon like Goodra and Dragalge while also dissuading attackers like Virizion and Golurk from directly switching into Porygon2. Tri Attack is an alternative that damages Salazzle hard and deals slightly more damage to neutral targets. Foul Play is an option that allows Porygon2 to hit Copperajah, Bronzong, Golurk, and Dhelmise much harder, but it leaves it more vulnerable to Dragalge and Virizion. Toxic punishes switch-ins like Bewear and slowly wears down Pokemon that Porygon2 otherwise lacks a way to effectively damage like Milotic and Gigalith. Porygon2 can also be used as a Trick Room setter due to its great bulk and ability to pivot into slow wallbreakers. If used, Trick Room should be ran over Toxic. Trace allows Porygon2 to copy a number of beneficial abilities such as Water Absorb from Mantine and Vaporeon and Corrosion from Salazzle.

Porygon2 works best on offense or balance teams because of its ability to take special hits and safely bring in Pokemon via Teleport that can pressure its switch-ins like Gardevoir, Charizard, Golurk, Passimian, and Barraskewda. Because Porygon2 is vulnerable to residual damage from entry hazards, it needs Pokemon that can keep entry hazards off the field such as Mantine, Dhelmise, and Xatu. Fighting-types are easily able to take advantage of Porygon2, making checks to them like Gardevoir and Xatu vital. Teammates that can switch into Knock Off such as Virizion and Silvally-Fairy are also good options. Silvally-Fairy is an exceptionally good partner, capable of checking the aforementioned Fighting-types and removing entry hazards with Defog. Bewear can check some Knock Off users such as Drapion, Escavalier, and Golisopod and pressure Steel-types that trouble Porygon2. Dhelmise, Vileplume, and Dragalge can check most Fighting-types and appreciate Porygon2's ability to handle Pokemon like Goodra.

Porygon2 is a specially defensive pivot that can check special attackers like Gardevoir, Choice Specs Inteleon, and Heliolisk due to its Eviolite-boosted bulk, then use Teleport to safely bring in fragile breakers. Ice Beam hits Pokemon like Goodra and Dragalge especially hard, while also dissuading attackers like Virizion and Golurk from switching in to take advantage of it. "Especially hard" implies that they take a lot of damage from Ice Beam, when that's simply not the case. Tri Attack is an alternative that hits targets not weak to Ice Beam slightly harder and has a greater chance to spread status. Add that more importantly, it prevents Salazzle from coming in for free. Foul Play with an EV spread of 252 HP / 240 SpD / 16 Spe can also be used to outspeed Copperajah and hit it, Bronong Bronzong, Golurk and Dhelmise much harder than anything else in Porygon2's arsenal. Mention the downsides, i.e. mons like Dragalge and Xatu coming in much more freely without being able to chip them down with Ice Beam. Toxic is used to slowly eat away at Pokemon Porygon2 otherwise lacks a way to effectively damage, such as Gigalith and Mantine. It also prevents Pokemon such as Virizion and Bewear from coming in on Porygon2 for free. Porygon2 can also be used as a Trick Room setter due to its great bulk and ability to pivot into abusers. If used, Trick Room should be run over Toxic. Not too sure about including this when the order implies that it would be over Toxic either way. Trace is chosen because it copies a number of beneficial abilities such as Mantine or Vaporeon's Water Absorb, Xatu or Umbreon's Espeon's Magic Bounce, or Assault Vest Galarian Slowbro's Regenerator. I assume that you meant Espeon and not Umbreon on the Magic Bounce section. Also, no need to specify Assault Vest Galarian Slowbro for Regenerator.

Porygon2 works well on offense or balance teams because of its ability to take special hits then safely bring in fragile offensive Pokemon like Gardevoir and Barraskewda. Porygon2's need to run Eviolite to boost its bulk leaves it without entry hazard mitigation like Leftovers recovery or Heavy-Duty Boots; ergo it pairs well with Pokemon with Defog, Rapid Spin, or Magic Bounce. entry hazard removers such as Mantine, Dhelmise, and Xatu. Porygon2's reliance on Eviolite also means it needs teammates to switch into Knock Off, and its typing means it requires teammates to beat threatening Fighting-types like Scrafty and Passimian. Silvally-Fairy is an exceptionally good partner capable of switching into Knock Off, checking Scrafty and Passimian, and removing Hazards with Defog while also forming VoltTurn core with Porygon2. Bewear can check most Knock Off users, including Drapion, Escavalier, and Golisopod. Xatu and Mantine can Defog and check Passimian, the former also warding off hazards and status with Magic Bounce. This sentence reads pretty awkward. You could say something like "Xatu can ward off entry hazards and status with Magic Bounce, while Mantine can remove them with Defog. Dhelmise, Dragalge, and Galarian Slowbro check Passimian, Hitmonlee, and Virizion. Dhelmise also has access to Rapid Spin. Already mentioned in a previous point and the sentence reads wonky anyway + doesn't relate to the main point.

Porygon2 is a specially defensive pivot that can check special attackers like Gardevoir, Choice Specs Inteleon, and Heliolisk due to its Eviolite-boosted bulk, then use Teleport to safely bring in fragile breakers. Unfortunately, its need to run Eviolite to boost its bulk leaves it without entry hazard mitigation like Leftovers recovery or Heavy-Duty Boots. Porygon2 is also vulnerable to Knock Off users such as Salazzle, as well as Pokemon like Bewear, Steelix, and Scrafty that can easily take advantage of it. Moved this from team options to here since it belongs here more. Ice Beam hits Pokemon like Goodra and Dragalge while also dissuading attackers like Virizion and Golurk from switching in to take advantage of it. Tri Attack is an alternative that hits Salazzle hard and deals slightly more damage to most targets not weak to Ice Beam. Foul Play with an EV spread of 252 HP / 240 SpD / 16 Spe can also be used to outspeed Copperajah and hit it, Bronzong, Golurk and Dhelmise much harder than anything else in Porygon2's arsenal, but leaves it much more vulnerable to Dragalge and Virizion.

Porygon2 works best think you forgot the space here on offense or balance teams because of its ability to take special hits then safely bring in fragile offensive Pokemon like Gardevoir and Barraskewda.

Because Porygon2 is vulnerable to chip from entry hazards, it pairs well with removers such as Mantine, Dhelmise, and Xatu. Porygon2 also needs teammates that can switch into Knock Off and check threatening Fighting-types like Scrafty and Passimian. Fighting-type checks like Gardevoir and Sigilyph are vital, as they are easily able to use Porygon2 for free turns. Teammates that can switch into Knock Off such as Virizion and Silvally-Fairy are also good options. Removed and reworded most of this section, as some of the parts belonged in the beginning paragraph and thus needed to be moved. Silvally-Fairy is an exceptionally good partner, capable of checking the aforementioned threats and removing entry hazards with Defog. Bewear can check most Knock Off users, including Drapion, Escavalier, and Golisopod. Dhelmise, Dragalge, and Galarian Slowbro can check most Fighting-types and appreciate Porygon2's ability to handle Pokemon like Gardevoir.

Toxic is used to punish switch-ins like Bewear and slowly wear down Pokemon Porygon2 otherwise lacks a way to effectively damage. Porygon2 can also be used as a Trick Room setter due to its great bulk and ability to pivot into abusers. If used, Trick Room should be run over Toxic. Trace is chosen because it copies a number of beneficial abilities such as Mantine or Vaporeon's Water Absorb, Xatu or Espeon's Magic Bounce, or Galarian Slowbro's Regenerator. (opying Magic Bounce isn't even that relevant given Espeon doesn't run any move it can bounce and Xatu even if Toxic usually just U-turns on it, there are just better abilities to copy, such as Fluffy from Bewear and Corrosion from Salazzle that I feel like are more worth of a mention)

Porygon2 works best on offense or balance teams because of its ability to take special hits then safely bring in fragile offensive Pokemon Pokemon that can pressure its switch-ins like Gardevoir, Charizard and Barraskewda. (they can be fragile, but don't have to be, anything appreciates momentum for free, and I feel like you need at least 3 mentions since you emphasize a lot on how Porygon2 can give stuff free switch ins; as for the thing about pressuring, you want partners that can abuse the fact stuff like Lix, Zong, or Fightings might often switch into P2, I also think you can mention more mons - as many as you'd like up to 5 - as again, this is one of P2's selling points: stuff like Golurk, Pass, CB Toad are options) Because Porygon2 is vulnerable to chip from entry hazards, it pairs well with removers needs Pokémon that can keep hazards off the field (needs is a better term: if you're running P2 you pretty much need smth to deal w hazards, and Xatu is not a remover) such as Mantine, Dhelmise, and Xatu. Fighting-type are easily able to use Porygon2 for free turns, making checks for them like Gardevoir and Sigilyph are vital, as they are easily able to use Porygon2 for free turns. (the other phrasing makes it ambiguous as you could read that Garde and Sigilyph abuse P2) Teammates that can switch into Knock Off such as Virizion and Silvally-Fairy are also good options. Silvally-Fairy is an exceptionally good partner, capable of checking the aforementioned threats and removing entry hazards with Defog. Bewear can check most some Knock Off users, including such as Drapion, Escavalier, and Golisopod as well as pressure other Pokémon that give Porygon2 trouble such as Steel-types. (the statement is not true when most common Knock users are Salazzle and Pass, and stuff like Scrafty, Skorch, and Toad exist, mons that Bewear doesn't matchup particularly well against, so I added another bit about its synergy w Bear) Dhelmise, Dragalge, and Galarian Slowbro can check most Fighting-types and appreciate Porygon2's ability to handle Pokemon like Gardevoir. (replace Garde w smth else, it's not that annoying for Bro and Garde can 2HKO P2 after tracing Adapta from Dragalge, you can mention smth like Goodra or another Sp. Attacker)
