Porygon-Z

[MrWh00pee]

What is the best list of moves to teach a Porygon-Z I'm thinking one going with atleast zap cannon?

 

[Ichida]

I'd go with Tri Attack for the STAB and status inflicting potential, Discharge/Thunderbolt (whether you want to do more damage or cause paralysis more often), Signal Beam or Dark Pulse for Psychics, and Ice Beam for Dragons.

 

[peabobo's sexy legs]

-Shadow Ball (for Ghosts and Psychics)
-Tri Attack (STAB and status)
-Thunderbolt (For Water and Flying types)
-Ice Beam (For Dragon, Grass, Ground, and Flying types)

this has been asked at least a zillion times..

you want tri attack for stab, thunderbolt and icebeam for good coverage. psychic is an alternative for tbolt and ice beam, but bolt beam is a very good combo with tri attack. last and not least you can have nasty plot.

-tri attack
-tbolt
-ice beam
-nasty plot

that's the best moveset.

PorygonZ @ Life Orb/Choice Specs
252 SAttk/252 Spd/4 HP -- Timid/Modest
Scheme/Hyper Beam
Ice Beam/Dark Pulse
Tri-Attack
Thunderbolt/Hidden Power Fighting

Use Boltbeam, or Pulse/HP Fight. Both have great coverage. For Specs, use Hyper Beam. The ability is a toss-up, but I like Download. The nature is up to you, I'd use Timid.

Pass.

Agiligon-Z is the best set for him. :)

- Agility
- Tri-Attack
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam

Agility and sweep with 405 special attack (my in-game one has 405 on the dot). Modest.
TBolt and Ice Beam anything they are super effective on, and Tri-Attack everything else.

I like Psychic on Z, to handle Fighting-types and the chance of lowering SDef.

 

[sanjay120]

SE Psychic: 160 BP. 10% SDef lowering chance.
STAB Tri-Attack with Adaptability: 160 BP. 10% chance of burn. 10% chance of para. 10% chance of freeze.

...yeah.

Porygon-Z@Life Orb
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
4 HP/ 252 SpAtk/ 252 Spd
Adaptability Trait
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Tri Attack
-Nasty Plot
With the speed boosting nature you don't have to worry about agility, you'll already be faster, and potentially doubleing your special attack, in my opinion, is a thousand times better than doubling speed. Adaptability is the wanted trait here seeing as it is a whole nother STAB. And the thunderbolt/ ice beam combo is resisted by few.

Tri Attack + STAB + Adaptability = 180 base power Tri Attack.
^^That's the main reason you would want this set. Plus, this is the best way to handle him.

Fear for the Glitched pokemon.

Unfortunately, Porygon-Z has bad defece, so it be a bit difficult to pull off Nasty Plot. I agree, that is the best way to pull him off.

 

[sanjay120]

No, Adaptability just changes STAB to 2x instead of 1.5x.

Wait, what? Are you commenting to what I wrote, or to what someone else wrote? If what you say is true, then Porygon-Z is more of a special sweeper than I thought.

 

[sanjay120]

To what Schyther wrote. He was assuming that Adaptability was an extra STAB. It's not, it simply changes STAB to 2x.

That moveset was right down the toilet.

Pass.

Agiligon-Z is the best set for him. :)

I'm afraid not.

 

[sims796]

Well, you have any advice along with that criticism? Here would be my moveset, note that I don't use Porygon-Z

Porygon-Z-Timid
Nasty Plot
Tri Attack
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
I could of sworn I saw this same set eairler. But I don't use this. Nutrisweet, make changes as you see fit.

I actually think anything along the lines of *not* Agility and *definitely not* Hyper Beam would be fine. That moveset was mentioned earlier, and it's probably one of the best things you can do for a P-Z.

 

[sanjay120]

Hyper Beam is last-resort. But you're right, it shouldn't be used with Specs. I don't know what I was thinking.

Maybe you could Scheme up and Hyper Beam for fun.

 

[Ethereal]

I would just like to say... use a Porygon2!! get a special sweeper somewhere else.

OK, so that is harsh, but I was a real fan of Porygon2 and feel that this 'Z' kind of betrays the Porygon tank spirit.

Porygon2 is a novelty Pokemon.
