Strategy Overview

With its excellent stat distribution and wide movepool, Porygon can serve a multitude of roles, such as a pseudo-wall/supporter, a cleaner, or even a straight-out sweeper. Although Porygon can perform these roles well, Pokemon such as Munchlax have made the metagame revolve around Fighting-type attacks, making it hard for Porygon to set up.
