    Man..... Making so many mistakes today. At 3:34 and at 5:00 Porygon Z's base speed is wrong. It should be 90 :/ huge apologies again. Already made a huge text mistake in the other video.

    The Z in Porygon-Z was meant to signify that it was its final evolution. It was the same case with DBZ, which was supposed to be the end of Dragon Ball.

    • @seeibe
      @seeibe 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hannibal In doubles Z conversion is very risky. You could get doubled into, roared, hazed, etc. Z hyper beam has the potential to instantly remove one of your opponent's mons, which could throw off their entire battle plan. (e.g. deny trick room, bypass pinch berry recovery, remove a counter to something you have in the back). Normalium Z works for both moves so your opponent can't be sure which one you're going to use even in a BO3 setting.

    in gen 7 the most common strat for porygon Z is to use Z conversion to get a +1 on all stats and turn his typing into his first move. This will get you a stab move of your choice (often shadow ball or thunderbolt) and make you a speedy and bulky powerhouse thanks to adaptability.

It's actually kinda funny how I hold such wildly different thoughts towards each of the three now that I think about it: Porygon is ok, Porygon2 can die in a dumpster fire, and Porygon-Z is my favourite Gen IV Pokémon alongside Togekiss. The Z-Conversion sets early in Gen VII brought me the same vindication I felt as a Popplio fan when Primarina was officially revealed.

    I could imagine a Mega Porygon Z, it's Mega Evolution removes the Corrupted Hardware from it's Systems allowing it to Slice through Dimensions using the Portals to move quickly around the Battlefield.
    This would of course give it a Massive Increase to it's Speed Stat thanks to Dimension Hoping and a Sizable Attacking Stats Increase because of that Dimension Hoping allowing for Sneak Attacks, and maybe a small increase to it's Defensive Stats since it would need added Durability to survive entering other Dimensions.

    One more thing I'd like to mention: In gen 7, Porygon Z can run a set with Z-Conversion, which boosts ALL its stats in addition to changing its type. The version I've used runs Shadow Ball in the first slot, bolt beam, and conversation with Normalium Z for the item. Not sure if it's competetively viable, but it's definitely fun to use.

Dynamax means that porygon-z gets to unleash an adaptability boosted hyper beam without the recharge turn AND anything it doesn't kill gets its speed dropped so the not-so-amazing speed stat (which is pretty good for how slow this current meta is) will still outspeed everything after a max strike or two. Porygon-Z is gonna make a serious name for itself--in VGC at least
