Agility (Porygon-Z) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Download
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Tera Type: Ground / Fighting
Modest Nature
- Agility
- Tera Blast
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt / Shadow Ball

[SET DETAILS]
An impressive Special Attack and good coverage land Porygon-Z a niche in RU as a ferocious wallbreaker and cleaner. Agility lets Porygon-Z outpace everything in the unboosted metagame, including Choice Scarf users like Krookodile and Mienshao. Ice Beam nails Ground-types like Hippowdon, Flying-types like Galarian Zapdos, Grass-types like Wo-Chien, and Dragon-types like Cyclizar. Thunderbolt crushes Water-types like Suicune and Empoleon, while Shadow Ball slams Ghost-types like Gengar and Psychic-types like Jirachi. Heavy-Duty Boots lets Porygon-Z stay healthy in the face of entry hazards and also gives it an advantage against Sticky Web teams. Download potentially nets Porygon-Z a Special Attack boost against physically defensive foes such as Slowbro, which it can OHKO with Thunderbolt at +1, and Galarian Weezing that it scares out, making it more difficult for opposing walls to deal with Porygon-Z. Tera Ground lets Porygon-Z eviscerate Steel-types like Jirachi and Hisuian Goodra with Tera Blast, as well as crucially scoring a 2HKO against Fezandipiti. Tera Fighting still lets Tera Blast hit Steel-types while also letting Porygon-Z blow Umbreon up. Tera Fighting also grants a crucial resistance to priority moves like First Impression from Slither Wing and Sucker Punch from Bisharp.

Porygon-Z is best used as a wallbreaker and cleaner on offensive teams. Other special wallbreakers like Calm Mind Armarouge, Calm Mind Jirachi, and Choice Specs Hisuian Goodra can help Porygon-Z sweep by softening up special walls such as Umbreon, Empoleon, and Fezandipiti. As Porygon-Z struggles to hit the field on its own due to its frailty, it appreciates pivots like Slither Wing and Flygon baiting in physically defensive Pokemon like Galarian Weezing and Hippowdon for it to take advantage of. Entry hazards set by teammates like Terrakion, Mew, and Krookodile help in wearing down Porygon-Z's checks like the aforementioned special walls. Knock Off users like Galarian Zapdos and Crawdaunt remove items like Assault Vest and Heavy-Duty Boots from foes, making it easier for Porygon-Z to clean up lategame. Porygon-Z is easily taken down by priority attacks such as First Impression from Slither Wing and Sucker Punch from Bisharp; thus, teammates that can take these threats on like Galarian Zapdos and Talonflame are useful partners for it. Porygon-Z is most effective when it uses Terastallization; hence, teammates that don't rely on the mechanic to be threatening, like Gardevoir, Conkeldurr, and Basculegion, are helpful partners, which can also help pressure defensive foes like Jirachi and Hisuian Goodra. Status support like Thunder Wave from Slowbro, Will-O-Wisp from Talonflame, and Toxic Chain Fezandipiti can give Porygon-Z more opportunities to set up and sweep by weakening foes.
