Porygon-Z • Generation VIII Pokédex

Scarlet/Violet support is in the works!

Porygon-Z's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Porygon-Z's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Porygon-Z's Nature.

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Porygon-Z is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.

Where to Find Porygon-Z in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

If you're looking for where to find Porygon-Z, you'll find the various methods listed down below, along with any notes or special locations. This should help you figure out how to get Porygon-Z in Pokémon Sword & Shield. (Currently this does not show most "strong" static encounters or Max Raid Battles.)

Getting Porygon-Z By Evolution

Pokédex Entries for Porygon-Z

Generation 8 Pokédex Entries

Sword
Porygon-Z had a program installed to allow it to move between dimensions, but the program also caused instability in Porygon-Z's behavior.
Shield
Some say an additional program made this Pokémon evolve, but even academics can't agree on whether Porygon-Z is really an evolution.

Generation 7 Pokédex Entries

Sun
In order to create a more advanced Pokémon, an additional program was installed, but apparently it contained a defect that makes it move oddly.
Moon
Its program was modified to facilitate extra-dimensional activities, but that led to noticeably strange behavior.
Ultra Sun
Its behavior is noticeably unstable, which is apparently due to the incompetence of the engineer who updated its programming.
Ultra Moon
A faulty update was added to its programming. Its behavior is noticeably strange, so the experiment may have been a failure.

Generation 6 Pokédex Entries

X Omega Ruby
Additional software was installed to make it a better Pokémon. It began acting oddly, however.
Y Alpha Sapphire
Its programming was modified to enable it to travel through alien dimensions. Seems there might have been an error...

Black White Black 2 White 2
Its programming was modified to enable work in alien dimensions. It did not work as planned.
