Strategy & play
How Porygon-Z plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Tri Attack) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
- Colorless type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥55 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Porygon2 first).
How to beat Porygon-Z
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥55 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

About this card
"Additional software was installed to make it a better Pokémon. It began acting oddly, however."
Poké-Power: Conversion
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard a basic Energy card from your hand. Porygon-Z is the same type as that Energy Card until the end of your turn. This power can't be used if Porygon-Z is affected by a Special Condition.
CCTri Attack — 40×
Flip 3 coins. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads.
Weakness:F+30
Retreat cost:CC

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Porygon-Z is real?
Porygon-Z is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
