Virtual Pokémon
In order to create a more advanced Pokémon, an additional program was installed, but apparently it contained a defect that makes it move oddly.

Strategy Overview
Porygon-Z is a threatening setup sweeper due to its near exclusive access to Z-Conversion, boosting all stats by +1. It has a good ability in Adaptability, boosting the power of moves the same type as it. Combined with a good movepool, passable Speed, and high Special Attack, Porygon-Z can dominate if left unchecked. However, even at +1, its defenses are rather lackluster, leaving it threatened by most sweepers. Its Speed tier also isn't very good for boosting, leaving it outsped by Choice Scarf users such as Tapu Lele, Greninja, and Garchomp as well as faster Pokemon such as Naive Pheromosa. Z-Conversion additionally allows Porygon-Z only one opportunity to set up, resulting in a sweeper that isn't very flexible and rendered nearly useless against something that walls it when it sets up.
Below are some sample sets. These sets are likely to be standard, but they will be expanded upon and updated as the metagame progresses.
