Porygon2
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/porygon2
[SET]
Name: Offensive Choice Scarf
Move 1: Thunderbolt
Move 2: Ice Beam
Move 3: Tri Attack
Move 4: Trick/ Psychic
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Download/ Trace
Nature: Timid
EVs: 52 HP. 252 SpA. 204 Spe
[Why this set should be on-site]
- Most pokemon in UU are weaker special defensively ergo Porygon2 should have no problem achieving a desired download boost, increasing its special attack to an unprecendented 464. This will allow it to act as an effective late-game sweeper.
- Boltbeam and Tri Attack grant perfect coverage in UU on everything except Magneton, who is rarely seen in conventional play.
- Trick can potentially incapacitate a wall, allowing other team mates to effectively sweep the opposing team.
- Psychic can be selected over Trick for additional type coverage in hitting the omnipresent fighting and poison types of the UU tier.
- Fantastic bulk allows it to switch in on physical/special attacks with relative ease and surprise opponents with its 340 speed stat, outrunning the majority of UU, including +Spe Mismagius.
- Alternatively, Trace can be used to act as a counter to weather teams that focus on abusing Chlorophyll and Swift swim. This will allow Porygon2 to OHKO Gorebyss and Kabutops with Thunderbolt and KO Exeggutor and Shiftry with Ice Beam.
[Additional Comments]
- A Modest nature can be used for more power, although you miss the chance to outrun +Spe 105s.
- EVs allow Porygon2 to outrun +Spe 105s and the remaining max out special attack and HP for bulk.
[Team-Mates]
- Team mates that can remove opposing ghost types will aid a Tri-attack sweep from Porygon2, strong pursuiters are recommended such as Absol and Spiritomb are ideal. Spiritomb is also capable of taking fighting attacks aimed at Porygon2 and retaliate with WoW.
- Fighting pokemon can also aid Porygon2's sweep by removing Chansey, who walls this set completely aside from trick. Heracross deserves a special mention, as it resists fighting, Porygon2's sole weakness and is also capable of absorbing status for a guts boost. It's access to pursuit is also a major boon, and eases the removal of Porygon2's counters.
- Sweepers such as Mismagius and Houndoom will appreciate the removal of Milotic from obstructing their sweep, whom Porygon2 2HKOs.
[Counters]
- Chansey and specially defensive Clefable can counter scarf variants quite effectively, but must be aware of Trick.
- Bulky fighting types like Hariyama can also take a hit and KO back with a super-effective CC.
