However, defensive Cress itself made it such that Porygon-Z is rather easy to wall. If you're a bulky team, you shouldn't have too big of a problem facing Agility variants. I mean, people say Agility PorygonZ murders offense, but really two can play the game. Offense usually murders unboosted Porygon-Z, too =P

On the other hand, NP breaks a lot of defensive mons but gets manhandled by offense. I don't know about you, but I usually don't like to put an otherwise no-show Pokemon that can only function when you face a specific playstyle.

Well to be honest, balanced teams are very common so there will usually be a check. I find porygon-z is best at late-game cleaning.
