Strategy Overview

Although Porygon-Z has the offensive capacity to function decently in RU, it provides very little else compared to its competition, which makes it difficult to justify on a team. In terms of pure wallbreaking power, it is outclassed by Indeedee and Toxtricity, while boosting sets are too frail to reliably set up. Choice Scarf sets face competition from the myriad of revenge killing options in the tier such as Choice Scarf Flygon, Golisopod, and Choice Scarf Gardevoir, all of which provide significantly more utility and defensive presence to a team. Furthermore, the ubiquity of Ghost- and Steel-types in the tier forces it to rely on prediction and makes it unable to take advantage of its greatest strength in Adaptability-boosted Tri Attack.
