Seriously, I like it as much as the next guy, but it's too slow and too frail. If it gets an Adaptability mega, it'd see a lot more use.

>exclusive moves
What exclusive moves, OP?

I haven't really played competitive since Gen IV although I'm looking to get back into it soon. (Thanks for reading my blog.) It was pretty good with a Choice Scarf but its 2x STAB can't do super effective damage and it's pretty easy to switch in a resistant Pokémon and force a switch. I imagine it's even worse now with the power creep. That Special Attack stat is nice but it just doesn't get the extra oomph it needs behind its attacks when it can do no more than 2x base damage on any of its attacks without being able to set up.

It takes more brain function to use than press button get kills, that's why. It's easily usable if you have team support behind it.

That being said, you're allowed to use it without looking like a tryhard fag, which is the best feature a mon can have.

Quoted By:

He was viable in gen 4 as either a choice user or as a lategame sweeper with agility/nasty plot (usually agility given his speed) but eviolite pretty much negated any reason to use PGZ.

Speed creep also absolutely raped him. 90 base speed was 'okay' in gen 4. 90 base speed is fucking awful in gen 6. Worse yet, it's not actually slow enough to run in trick room so he's not even a good doubles gimmick.

Tri-Attack isn't an exclusive and that's the only one that can burn, paralyze, or freeze. The chance is also too low to rely on like Scald. I apologize for being a smart ass. Conversion and Conversion 2 though, yes. They aren't really worth shit on Z, however. They could be used on 2 but they're still gimmicky as fuck and probably slots better used on other moves. I digress, could be fun to try BPing it some boosts if it's a bro. Personally really liked running it back in the day because my name is Zoey.

I used it for a dumb gimmick one time. I made a doubles team with Normal-types and Gourgeist. I would give it Ghost-Typing which made its only weakness Dark instead of Fighting, and gave it STAB on Shadow Ball. It worked out pretty well with a quick claw.

The other Normals that I used were M-Kangaskhan, Ursaring, Miltank, and Chansey.

The gimmick was funny when it worked, but it had a lot of problems.

it can run a decent "double dance" set with nasty plot and agility but that's about it. besides specs hyper beam, which just erases pokemon that aren't chansey and blissey

Modest Download with Choice Scarf can be pretty good from time to time. It's just a shame that Download's such a crapshoot.

Just a shame that Porygon-Z's stuck in BL; only tiers he can be used in are all pretty shit.
