Porygon

[aquasuicune]

I just hatched a porygon with the following IV's:
HP~29
A~3-5
D~18-20
SA~31
SD~25 or 27
S~28-30

I was going to clone it and make one into a porygon2 and one into a porygonZ. Can someone give me good EV spreads for each of them?

Porygon2@lefties
Trait: Trace
EVs: 228 hp / around 270 max Def / rest in SAtk
Modest Nature
- Ice Beam
- T-Bolt
- T-Wave
- Recover

PorygonZ@lefties
Trait: Adaptive
EVs: 228 SAtk / 228 Spd / 28 hp
Modest Nature
- Scheme
- Ice Beam
- T-Bolt
- Recover / Shadow Ball

Enough for 400 max SAtk and 300 max Spd respectively. You can go max SAtk if you feel like you need it.

OR

PorygonZ@AG
Trait: Adaptive
EVs: 252 SAtk / 228 Spd / 28 hp
Modest Nature
- Ice Beam
- T-Bolt
- Shadow Ball / Dark Pulse
- hyper Beam

The only reason why hyper Beam is on there because it acts like a mini Explosion with STAB and Adaptive. Unlike Explosion you can still use hyper Beam again.

You should put another option over Explosion on PZ's AG set.

^ WTF?

Nova, apparently nooblet says that PZ needs Download to work properly on the AG set.

Trait: Adaptive
EVs: 228 SAtk / 228 Spd / 28 hp

- Ice Beam
- T-Bolt
- Recover / Shadow Ball

Enough for 400 max SAtk and 300 max Spd respectively. You can go max SAtk if you feel like you need it.

That looks pretty good, but it will only get 271 speed. I would need timid to get anything over 300...

 

[Frost Nova]

Why yes, you're right. My bad. K so you can pick between the two for the Scheming moveset. Personally I'd pick the second spread.

228 SAtk / 236 Spd / 44 hp with Modest to reach 400 max SAtk and 275 max Spd.

216 SAtk / 228 Spd / 64 hp with Timid for 360 max SAtk and 300 max Spd.

Go with the first one if you're using the AG set. There's a third set that involves the Adherance Scarf if you want it.

PorygonZ@AS
Trait: Adaptive
EVs: 252 SAtk / 192 Spd / 64 hp
Modest Nature
- T-Bolt
- Ice Beam
- Shadow Ball / Dark Pulse
- hyper Beam

192 Spd EVs for 264 max Spd so you outspeed everything with AS. Max SAtk with Modest is self explanatory.

btw where did Explosion come up in the first place?

 

[aquasuicune]

I think explosion came from your comment about hyper beam being a mini explosion (strong kamikaze move). Thanks for the help, I think I will use the scheme set.

 

[SHUCKLE MAN]

Lmao. Sorry, I was tired and said Explosion instead of Hyper Beam, for two reasons. Firstly because you said Hyper beam was a mini-explosion and secondly because I was doing an RBY battle and I had just realized that if you Explode on a Substitute you dont faint.

Anyways, I was just trying to say that, although I can perfectly well see why you have Hyper Beam on PZ, (and I will probably also use Hyper Beam on some of my PZs), I think some people will think you are bonkers to be suggesting Hyper Beam, so another option would make you look better in the eyes of Hyper Beam haters.

If you use Frost's Scheme set, make sure you use Download as your Trait. Adaptive is only good if you run like Scheme/Tri Attack/Thunderbolt/Recover (Which i would do) but with BoltBeam there's no STAB and so, no point in Adaptive.

 

[aquasuicune]

I was going to use the same set as you except with ice beam over recover. PorygonZ has a bad defense, so I think of it almost like using recover on alakazam. As for the trait, I will see which one I get, and I will just go with it.

Just remembered: Tri Attack is a special move now, so use it. Double STAB is frickin' sweet. hehehehehehehehe.........
