Porygon-Z

[airconditioning]

Hi, I was planning to put a Porygon-Z on my team, but I want a critique on the moveset, natures, etc. I only get one chance at a Porygon-Z, so I want to make sure I get it right.

Porygon-Z @ ??? (Focus Sash, maybe? I dunno.)
EVs: 252 SAtk/ 252 Spd/ 6 HP
Modest Nature
Ability: Adaptability
-Tri-Attack
-Ice Beam
-Psychic
-Nasty Plot (Not sure about this one, though... I might replace it with Thunderbolt.)

I was thinking he could make a decent Special Sweeper, but I have no idea. Any help?

If you have Nasty Plot one, use Timid Nature and Thunderbolt or Hidden Power > Psychic, on this set as youll do alot more to stuff thats weak to Psychic with Tri Attack etc. after a Nasty Plot anyway.


Also Life Orb could be an option.

or theres also this

or even use Psychic as the last move if you really fear fighting types even though it has terrible coverage and obviously this hasnt got Nasty Plot so you may need it, but HP Fighting Ice beam and thunderbolt hit everything for at least neutral damage.

Actually, I put Psychic because I was so used to it from the R/B/Y days, where a Psychic from Mewtwo could kill anything. It's less fear of Fighting types, and more nostalgia. Besides, Psychic does have an attack stat of 90. I'm still not sure about the Nasty Plot, however.

Except now all of the common tanks completely resist Psychic.
And if you really think about it, Tri Attack boosted by STAB and Adaptability does the same amount of damage a Super-Effective Psychic would do.

Mewtwo infact all Psychic types only have the move Psychic for STAB.

Im just saying that it doesnt have good coverage because it is super effective on what ? Poison and Fighting, and the only Poison Type you'll probably ever see is Weezing and that'll die to Tri Attack anyways. However i understand if you fear Heracross and other fighters running around.At the end of the day its up to you.
