Porygon-Z is a Normal-type Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. It evolves from Porygon (using the Upgrade item) and Porygon2 (using Dubious Disc item). Porygon-Z has a great special attack stat that lets it do massive damage to enemies in battle.
Because Porygon-Z is a Normal-type Pokémon, most of its powerful moves are also Normal-type. This is because Pokémon who use moves that match their typing will receive a damage boost called S.T.A.B. (Same Type Attack Bonus). Porygon-Z's best moves are Hyper Beam, Thunderbolt, Tri Attack, and Spark.
| Move Name | Move Type | Category | Power | Accuracy | PP |

| Tri Attack | Normal | Special | 120 | 100 | 10 |
| Spark | Electric | Physical | 65 | 100 | 20 |
Porygon-Z will learn Hyper Beam at level 47 (masters at level 59), Thunderbolt at level 29 (masters at level 40), Tri Attack at level 21 (masters at level 31), and Spark at level 15 (masters at level 25).
How to use Porygon-Z best in battle
Porygon-Z is a sole Normal-type Pokémon so it is easy for players to remember its weaknesses and resistances. Normal-type Pokémon are vulnerable to Fighting-type moves. They will not be super effective against anything, but they have an immunity to Ghost-type moves.
