Movepool: Porygon2's moveset with:
+ Autotomize, Flash Cannon, Gyro Ball, Iron Defense, Iron Head, Metal Sound, Steel Beam, Steel Roller, Data Drain, Steel Beam

Data Drain: Steel-type Giga Drain Clone.
Overview: After intense discussion, I've come to realize that the current Metagame has a few big threats.
Defensively, we have Claydol and Miltank, who, with their ground type, dominate most of the current tier due to typing alone. Vanilluxe BARELY handles them and Camomander's only hope is to use the niche move Aqua Tail.
Offensively, we have Vanilluxe and Beheeyem, who, while both suffer from a lack of coverage, make up for it with having the strongest special attack and being the definitive fastest pokemon in the tier, respectively.
Porygon2-Unova aims to fix them. Porygon2 has access to both a STAB Flash Cannon as well as Ice Beam, taking care of both Miltank, Claydol, and Vanilluxe. Miltank, while having Thick Fat, has to suffer either dying to P2 or being vulnerable to Super-Effective Grass-type moves. Vanilluxe and Beheeyem, on the other hand, cannot dent P2 at all, even with Weather Ball and HP Fighting, respectively. This doesn't mean that Porygon2 is invulnerable. Raichu-Mega plows through it with its Fighting STAB, Copperajah melts it like cotton candy in water, Camomander bulldozes it with Earthquake, and even Moltres-G has Flamethrower coverage.

Pokémon: Smeargle-Unova
Mod of Origin: Regional Variants
Stats: 35 / 55 / 20 / 35 / 20 / 85 (250 BST)
Type:
Abilities: Insomnia / Technician / Protean
Movepool: Same as Smeargle
Overview: Now, to start off, I'm actually going to list the weaknesses of Smeargle first before talking about the scary mash of Protean and Sketch.
Smeargle has 35/20/20 bulk, which, if you aren't aware, is less than base Smeargle, its Speed is smack dab in the middle of the tier, and almost anything takes it out. It cannot run any other item other than Focus Sash.
Now, for the positives. Smeargle boasts the horrifying combination of Protean and Sketch. Smeargle in this metagame has access to all of the changed moves that other Pokemon receive, making it a fearsome suicide lead, with tools such as Spectral Residue, Sparksplosion, and Pragma Strike. Smeargle-U lends both hazard support with Sticky Web and Stealth rock as well as hazard Removal with Defog and Rapid Spin. Protean, despite looking scary, it doesnt do much to help it.
