Porygon is a very simple Pokemon in its role as a paralysis spreading Normal-type. The combination of Thunder Wave, Double-Edge, and Curse lets Porygon beat a surprisingly wide variety of threats while it keeps itself healthy with its 32 PP Recover. One weakness and decent Special Defense, let Porygon potentially sweep through teams lacking a Rock-type or Gastly. Porygon is very susceptible to status, though, especially poison, and it faces competition from Dunsparce, which is bulkier and has a higher Attack stat. Double-Edge 2HKOes many common defensive Pokemon after a Curse boost, such as Xatu, Chinchou, Ninetales, and Hitmonlee. Thunder Wave pairs well with Curse and Recover, slowing down opposing Pokemon so Porygon can outspeed them even after a few Speed drops from Curse. Recover is Porygon’s main draw, giving it excellent longevity, and its ability to use Recover on a paralyzed Pokemon until it gets fully paralyzed is incredibly useful against Pokemon such as Ninetales. Curse turns Porygon into a threatening sweeper and makes it difficult to take down for any physical attacker. If Porygon wishes to be more immediately threatening to Flying-types such as Xatu, it can run Ice Beam over Curse. This also prevents it from being walled by Graveler and non-Rest Sudowoodo.

Slower wallbreakers such as Kingler, Weezing, Graveler, and Cubone greatly appreciate Porygon's reliability at spreading Thunder Wave. Primeape can break through the Rock-types that Porygon struggles with while also appreciating paralysis support, especially if Porygon manages to paralyze Xatu. Although a niche Pokemon, Snubbull can remove any status conditions inflicted on Porygon with Heal Bell. Xatu is a useful teammate, as it checks Fighting-types, particularly Primeape, which can OHKO Porygon through its Curse boosts with a critical hit Cross Chop. Ninetales checks Xatu extremely well and can switch into status moves aimed at Porygon. Finally, Houndour can easily remove the only Ghost-type in the tier, Gastly, and greatly benefits from Xatu being paralyzed, which lets it Pursuit trap Xatu much more reliably.

Porygon is a very simple Pokemon (I feel this phrase is incomplete, so you could maybe give a little reasoning as to why Porygon is a simple Pokemon. Is it simples to use? Is it role a simple one?), but it still manages to be quite threatening.

Porygon also has just one weakness, and combined with its decent Special Defense, it can potentially sweep through teams lacking a Rock-type or Gastly. Porygon is not without downsides though.
