More information
The following chart shows Porygon-Z's DPS and TDO for every fast and charge attack combination. This chart is useful for comparing the relative strength of Porygon-Z's movesets. You can change the weather and the opposing Pokémon to see how it affects the rankings.
Legacy Elite Fast and Charge Attacks can only be obtained during special events, or by using an Elite Fast TM or an Elite Charge TM. Legacy moves are marked with an asterisk (*). The table above provides information on different moves Porygon-Z has in Pokémon GO, along with their corresponding DPS (Damage per Second) and TDO (Total Damage Output).
Porygon-Z in the meta
PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Normal Attacker:
Lock-On
Hyper Beam
⚔️ 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.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Lock-On
Tri Attack
Zap Cannon - Ultra League:
Lock-On
Tri Attack
Zap Cannon - Master League:
Lock-On
Tri Attack
Blizzard
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!
