Strategy Overview

Porygon2 manages to stand out as a reliable Trick Room setter and threatening late-game wincon thanks to its Eviolite-boosted defenses, access to Recover, and single weakness in Fighting. Download can allow it to provide some offensive pressure with its good coverage in Thunderbolt and Ice Beam should it get a Special Attack boost. Porygon2 is appreciated on semi-Trick Room teams. On these teams, Rillaboom provides Fake Out support and checks Urshifu-R, while Volcanion and Diancie benefit from Trick Room, with Diancie being a secondary setter. However, if lacking a Download boost, Porygon2 can find itself being ignored due providing subpar offensive pressure. Porygon2 also has to be cautious of Knock Off from Incineroar and Toxic from Blastoise, which can severely cripple it. Despite having one weakness, Porygon2 can be OHKOed by Life Orb Urshifu-R and overwhelmed by combinations of strong attacks from Pokemon like Zygarde and Heatran.
