Shell Bell |
Makes use of Conversion to gain STAB on top of the Stellar Tera, Analytic, and Super-Effective Damage. Can learn Support moves that can let it hit harder. Works best in Co-Op situations where you can rely on teammates to set up screens. |
The best ability for Porygon-Z in Tera Raid Battles is Analytic, which increases the power of its next move by 30% if it moves last on the turn and gives it a significant power boost on its attacks.
We also recommend getting a Porygon-Z with a Stellar Tera Type because this will boost Porygon-Z's moves when it Terastallizes. As a Special Attacker, a Modest nature would be best.
Best Tera Types: Best Pokemon to Terastallize
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards a bulky offense to help with survivability and with dealing as much damage as possible. Max out your HP and Special Attack EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Special Defense. Equip the Pokemon with Shell Bell to regain HP when using damaging moves.
Type | Attacking Move | Optimized Setup Move |
---|---|---|
Thunder | Rain Dance or Gravity | |
Solar Beam | Sunny Day | |
Blizzard | Gravity | |
Shadow Ball | Charge Beam | |
Dark Pulse | ||
Psychic | ||
Psyshock |
The setup move slot for Porygon-Z can be changed depending on its type. The moves listed above are our recommended moves based on Porygon-Z's type, which can either provide extra damage, or added utility for Porygon-Z.
With the introduction of Relearning Moves, you only need to use TMs on Porygon-Z once to relearn it again anytime.
Porygon-Z Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Turn 1 | Use Conversion to gain STAB with the move on your first slot. |
Low HP Turns | Attack with your move of choices to get HP from your Shell Bell. |
Turns 2~4 | Use Nasty Plot to max out your Sp. Atk Stat. If you're running Charge Beam use that instead so you can quickly Terastallize. |
Turn 5 | Set up any buffs or debuffs as needed. |
Turns 6+ | Attack using your chosen STAB Move as appropriate. Terastallize when you are able to. |
This Porygon-Z build capitalizes on having the Stellar Tera type combined with the move Conversion. Make sure to have your chosen STAB move at the first slot of your moveset.
Buff up your Special Attack with Nasty Plot or Charge Beam. You can guarantee an absurd amount of damage with a decent amount of coverage.
Super Effective Damage Dealt by Porygon-Z |
|
---|---|
Solar Beam(+6 Sp. Atk, Grass Type, Sun, Stellar Tera) 3,376 ~ 3,972 (44.4 ~ 52.2%) |
|
Thunder(+6 Sp. Atk, Electric Type, Stellar Tera) 3,096 ~ 3,644 (40.7 ~ 47.9%) |
These calculations were done using our Tera Raid Damage Calculator
This Porygon-Z Tera Raid Build is an effective counter to various Tera Raid Bosses. If the Tera Raid Boss is known for its Special Bulk (like Blissey), perhaps consider a different build, as Porygon-Z will be weak to these Types as an attacker.

A wild Porygon with a Stellar Tera Type can be found in the Polar Biome in the Terarium. It appears near the Polar Plaza. Porygon may only appear with a wild Stellar Tera Type in place of Dewgong after your first encounter with it.
Do note that you need to beat The Indigo Disk's story to make wild Stellar Tera Pokemon appear in the Terarium.
Porygon with the Upgrade held item will evolve into Porygon2 when traded to another player. The trade the Porygon2 with a Dubious Disc to get Porygon-Z.
To receive your own Porygon-Z, you can send your Porygon holding a Dubious Disc to another person, and then ask them to give it back to you after it has evolved.
Due to the nature of evolutions in Legends: Arceus, you can choose to evolve Porygon in Hisui without the need for Trading.
If the Porygon-Z build you are following requires it to have a different Tera type, you will need to have 50 Tera Shards of the type you need, and bring it to Medali to have your Pokemon's Tera Type changed.
If it has a different nature, you can use Modest Mint to change its nature to Modest.
The easiest way to get this is by buying it from the Chansey Supply shop at Mesagoza for ₽20,000.
How to Change a Pokemon's Nature
If the build you are following requires it to have its Hidden Ability, you can use an Ability Patch to give Porygon-Z its Hidden Ability.
Ability Patch Location and How to Get
EV train Porygon-Z according to the build's EV spread using Vitamins, Mochis, or the traditional way with Power Items and battling Pokemon with the right EV yield.
Vitamins can be bought at any Chansey Supply shop and it will cost you ₽530,000 to fully train a Pokemon. Meanwhile, Mochi can be obtained through the Ogre Oustin' Minigame.
If you have the money for it, you can just buy 26 HP Up (for HP), 26 Calcium (for Sp. Atk), and an Iron (for Def). All of these items can be bought at a Chansey Supply shop and it will cost you ₽530,000 in total.
Alternatively, you can use Power Items that you can buy at a Delibird Presents shop for ₽10,000 each. Have your Pokemon hold the respective Power Item while defeating the Pokemon listed below.
