    Best Nature for Porygon-Z Explained

    Porygon-Z benefits most from the Modest Nature. The increase in Sp. Atk allows Porygon-Z to better utilize its special offense. Since most of its attacks are special, it won't mind the drop in Attack.

    Speed is not as big of a factor

    While a speed increasing nature is often considered for battles in mainline Pokemon games, it doesn't play as big of a factor in Legends: Arceus due to every Pokemon's access to the Agile and Strong Styles. Make up for lower speed by planning around your turn order.

    Best Moves for Porygon-Z Explained

    Porygon-Z's impressive Sp. Atk stat, combined with the high Base Power of Hyper Beam guarantees it will be leaving a dent on anything that doesn't resist it. Psychic gives Porygon-Z a strong move against Fighting-types that it would normally be weak to, while Shadow Ball allows it to hit Ghost-types it couldn't normally hit.

    This moveset also proves useful against the most difficult battles in the game. Having Ice Beam gives Porygon-Z a strong attack against Volo's Togekiss, Roserade, Garchomp, and Giratina.
