Here’s an overview of the best moveset to use for Porygon-Z in Pokemon Go, plus whether the Normal-type is any good for the game.

The fourth generation of Pokemon introduced another evolution to the Porygon family. Porygon-Z brought a new twist to the artificial Pokemon.

Porygon-Z is available in Pokemon Go. But what is the best moveset to give the Virtual Pokemon, and is it good for PvP?

Here’s a look at the best moveset for Porygon-Z in Pokemon Go.

Porygon-Z’s best moveset in Pokemon Go

The best moveset for Porygon-Z is to go with Lock On as a Fast Move and Tri Attack and Blizzard as Charged Moves.

Lock On has very low power. However, that’s not the purpose of the move. Its high EPS allows for an easy charge to transition into a Charged Move.

As for the Charged Moves, Blizzard is a high-power Ice move that can help against Dragon and Flying-types. Tri Attack, on the other hand, gives Porygon-Z a low-cost secondary option.

All moves Porygon-Z can learn in Pokemon Go

Here are all the moves that Porygon-Z can learn in Pokemon Go:

Hidden Power (Varies)
Lock-On (Normal)

Charged Moves

Blizzard (Ice)
Solar Beam (Grass)
Zap Cannon (Electric)
Hyper Beam (Normal)

Is Porygon-Z any good in Pokemon Go?

Porygon2 is a better Pokemon to use in the Ultra and Great Leagues. Porygon-Z ranks poorly in those formats but is somewhat viable in the Master League.

XL Porygon-Z ranked #224 in PvPoke‘s Master League rankings as of January 2024. The Shadow version of Porygon-Z, on the other hand, ranked #248.

One can do better than Porygon-Z but it is an off-meta option.
