Porygon has been reinstalled with the second wave of the SV DLC, this time finding a role as a powerful Agility setup sweeper. One use of Agility brings Porygon to 26 Speed, outpacing most of the common Choice Scarf users in the metagame. A Modest nature combined with Download, which conveniently boosts Special Attack against common Pokemon such as Mienfoo, Vullaby, and Glimmet, allows Porygon to hit extremely hard with its diverse coverage. Tera Blast has the unique benefit of providing STAB both pre- and post-Terastallization, with Tera Fire chosen to threaten Steel- and Grass-types such as Tinkatink and Hisuian Voltorb. Psychic hits the common Fighting- and Poison-types of the tier like Mienfoo and Glimmet, while Ice Beam nails Flying- and Ground-types such as Vullaby and Toedscool. As a setup sweeper, Porygon appreciates chip damage above all else, so entry hazard support such as Spikes Glimmet as well as Knock Off support can be of great assistance. Some threats to look out for include Choice Scarf Gastly, which can outspeed Porygon even after Agility, priority revenge killers like Timburr, and defensive use of Terastallization to evade Porygon's coverage. Baiting out and removing these options is an important component of using Porygon successfully.

Even since the earliest days of ADV, Porygon has found itself a dominant role in every single generation of Little Cup. With its arrival in the second DLC of Generation 9, it seems nothing has changed, with Porygon this time opting for a role as an Agility setup sweeper on teams. (This is a bit too long of an introduction line. Cut these 2 lines down to one line, since your already at 1150 characters with this sentence and you should be at around 1000-1050 for a spotlight.) One use of Agility brings Porygon to 26 Speed, outspeeding everything bar Scarf Gastly, and a Modest nature combined with Download (which conveniently boosts Special Attack vs against common Pokemon such as Mienfoo, Vullaby, and Glimmet) (Not mentioning Stunky is a big miss, imo.) allows Porygon to hit extremely hard with its diverse coverage, especially with Knock Off support. Tera Blast has the unique benefit of providing STAB both pre- and post-Terastallization, with Tera Fire chosen to threaten Steel- and Grass-types such as Tinkatink and Hisuian Voltorb. Psychic allows you to hit the common Fighting- and Poison-types of the tier like Mienfoo and Glimmet, and finally Ice Beam for Flying- and Ground-types such as Vullaby and Toedscool. Being a set-up sweeper, Porygon appreciates chip damage above all else, so entry hazard support such as Spikes Glimmet can be of great assistance. Some threats to look out for include priority revenge killers like Timburr and defensive use of Terastallisation to evade Porygon's coverage, so baiting out and removing these options is another important component of using Porygon successfully. (So what teammates can remove these threats? Also I would remove "defensive use of Terastallisation" since thats just an everything problem, not just a Pory problem. Also, you mention Knock Off earlier in the paragraph, but you don't bring up teammates w knock in the teammates section? Make sure you add those.)

Technically not true, nor relevant, remove entirely.

it seems nothing has changed, with Porygon this time opting for a role as an Agility setup sweeper on teams.

Contradicts itself. Remove nothing has changed. There's a lot of creative writing you can use with it, considering this Pokemon can reinvent itself and change to benefit the situation canonically.

One use of Agility brings Porygon to 26 Speed, outspeeding everything bar Scarf Gastly, and a Modest nature combined with Download (which conveniently boosts Special Attack vs common Pokemon such as Mienfoo, Vullaby, and Glimmet) allows Porygon to hit extremely hard with its diverse coverage, especially with Knock Off support.

Huge run-on. Rewrite entirely. Try something like outspeeding most common scarf users. Then talk about Download. Scrap knock support entirely. Don't use vs

Being a set-up sweeper, Porygon appreciates chip damage above all else, so entry hazard support such as Spikes Glimmet can be of great assistance

Include knock off support here

Some threats to look out for include priority revenge killers like Timburr and defensive use of Terastallisation to evade Porygon's coverage, so baiting out and removing these options is another important component of using Porygon successfully.

You can include Scarf Gastly here if you like, considering we axed it from the first section, but otherwise, this is fine.


Tag me when you finish writing this and I'll stamp it.
