Darth Vader vs Porygon-2

Does Porygon2 only have a set moveset here, or does it have its entire moveset via levelling up?

Do we go by the low end (135.6 kilotons) or the high end (542 kilotons) when scaling this feat to Vader?
Because Porygon2 is roughly 131 kilotons. And it can boost its stats via Sharpen and Defense Curl. Whether or not Darth Vader is 4 times stronger than Porygon2 seems like an important question to answer.

That's not the feat vader scales to, he scales to yoda's feat

Okay, so that's 476 kilotons then. He's about 4.6 times stronger than Porygon2, which isn't enough to oneshot, but it still means that it won't be taking hits from Vader very comfortably, and given the latter's range, Porygon2 will always be subject to telekinesis.
A solid case for Porygon2 could also be made since it can boost its speed, create illusory copies of itself via Double Team, and hide behind substitutes, all while spamming electrical moves that Vader is weak to, but Vader's precognition and telekinesis could still give him the upper hand.
I'll admit though, I have a very strong bias for Porygon2 here, since it is my favorite Pokemon.

Conversion2 could probably mitigate the effectiveness of TK by making Porygon2 a Psychic type.

If porygon is only 100+ kt then vader stomps, yoda stomped the things with the 476 kt feat

I think a psychic typing would only allow it to resist raw psychic energy attacks, not being lifted up off of the ground or slammed into the ground.
Plus, there's also a Pokemon equivalent of Telekinesis which lifts foes into the air, and you can still be affected by it just as much if you resist psychic type moves.

Vader doesn't scale to eitherWeeklyBattles said:

However, would it be in character for Darth Vader to open up against Porygon2 with an all out Telekinetic attack?

No, he's a sword fighter

Okay, so if he scales to the asteroid feat I listed earlier, does he scale to the 135.6 kt end, or the 500+ kt end?
Also, how does his precognition work?

I don't know, apparently Vader doesn't scale to either of the feats linked above. I'll need to see the calc for the feat he scales to in order to argue for either side.

he should be above this feat: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/U...S_REBELS:_Kanan_and_Ezra_throw_some_asteroids.

If that's the case I might change my vote to Porygon2.
Vader should be a lot stronger to some degree, but Porygon2 has many ways to play around it. It can ceate illusory copies via Double Team, hide behind substitutes, block Vader's attacks via protect, boost its stats via Sharpen, Defense Curl, and Agility, use Lock-On to ensure hits land, use Conversion 2 to adapt to the lightsaber blows, and Heal itself via Recover.
None of that is counting the six electrical attacks that Darth Vader is vulnerable to. I can't imagine him having an answer to Porygon2 using Rain Dance to guarantee a hit with Thunder.
