Porygon-Z's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Porygon-Z PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Although Porygon-Z gets up to a respectable 3529 CP, its lack of STAB on super-effective charged moves means you’re better off using other counters.

🛡️ Gyms

Porygon-Z could hit opponents with a nasty Blizzard or Zap Cannon, but it isn’t the best gym defender around.

Porygon-Z PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Porygon-Z’s preferred moveset is Lock On, Tri-Attack*, and Blizzard / Zap Cannon / Solar Beam.

🔵 Great League

Porygon-Z is here for a good time, not a long time. Its pre-evolution, Porygon2, actually performs much better with the same moveset due to its better stats for PvP. If you’re looking for a meme pick (that doesn’t require an Elite TM for Tri-Attack), stick to Porygon2.

🟡 Ultra League

As above, Porygon-Z does have the ability to sub out Zap Cannon for Blizzard, which can help nuke Giratina-O and Verizion. Otherwise, there’s not a lot of upside to using Porygon-Z in the Ultra League compared to its pre-evolution.

🟣 Master League

Porygon-Z gets up to a respectable CP for the Master League, but the Master Premier League is the format you’ll want to consider it for. Again, this is a pure spice pick, but it has a relatively decent record in the 1-shield scenario. At worst, you’re very likely to pick up shields thanks to its ability to rapidly reach charged moves. Watch out for Fighters and anything with half-decent bulk!

Ultra MoonA faulty update was added to its programming. Its behavior is noticeably strange, so the experiment may have been a failure.
SwordPorygon-Z had a program installed to allow it to move between dimensions, but the program also caused instability in Porygon-Z’s behavior.
ShieldSome say an additional program made this Pokémon evolve, but even academics can’t agree on whether Porygon-Z is really an evolution.
Legends: ArceusA curious item induced this evolution. The Pokémon's offensive capabilities have greatly increased, but the strangeness of its behavior has magnified in equal measure. This worries me.
