Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Porygon is a normal-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 395 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 40) and a special attacking profile. Its Trace ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Porygon. Build around what Porygon actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
