Finding Porygon: Your First Step

Before we can even think about Porygon-Z, we've got to find its base form, Porygon. Luckily, finding Porygon isn't too tough, but you'll have to know where to look. In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Porygon is a bit of a rare spawn. Your main hunting ground for Porygon is going to be the Space-time Distortions that appear throughout the Hisui region. These rifts are your best bet for finding Porygon. Remember to keep an eye out for these distortions on your map; they're your gateway to all sorts of rare Pokemon and items.

Now, here's a pro-tip: Space-time Distortions don't just pop up whenever you want. They appear randomly, so you'll have to be patient. Spend some time in an area, battle some Pokemon, or gather resources. These actions increase the chances of a distortion appearing. When a Space-time Distortion forms, head into it as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the greater the chance someone gets the Pokemon you want. Don’t worry; Space-time Distortions last for a while, giving you plenty of time to explore and search for Porygon. Inside, you'll find various Pokemon, items, and, of course, the chance to encounter Porygon. Pay close attention to what's spawning inside the distortion, and be ready to battle or catch Porygon when it appears! Also, do not forget to pick up items.

Location Tips

  • Crimson Mirelands: You have the highest probability of finding Porygon in the Crimson Mirelands, and be sure to check the areas in and around the Diamond Settlement.
  • Coronet Highlands: Another good spot to explore Space-time Distortions, especially if you have unlocked them.

Evolving Porygon: From Digital Duckling to Destroyer

Alright, so you've caught yourself a Porygon. Nice work! Now comes the fun part: evolving it. Evolving Porygon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus isn’t as straightforward as just leveling it up. You'll need some specific items and a little bit of know-how. Porygon has two evolutions: Porygon2 and Porygon-Z. This is how you'll get them:

Porygon to Porygon2

To evolve Porygon into Porygon2, you'll need to get your hands on a Upgrade item. The Upgrade item is relatively easy to obtain compared to the next step. You can purchase the Upgrade from the Trading Post in Jubilife Village using Merit Points (MP). Merit Points are earned by retrieving lost satchels in the field. When you spot a lost satchel, go to the corresponding location on the map, retrieve the items, and that’s it.

Porygon2 to Porygon-Z

This is where it gets a little trickier, but don't worry, we'll walk you through it. To evolve Porygon2 into Porygon-Z, you need a Dubious Disc. The Dubious Disc can be purchased from the Trading Post in Jubilife Village using Merit Points. You will need to retrieve more satchels to get more Merit Points. The Dubious Disc is your ticket to Porygon-Z. Once you have the Dubious Disc, give it to your Porygon2, and it will evolve into Porygon-Z. Be sure you are ready to have the Pokemon at your team, because the evolution is one-time only. Once the Pokemon evolves you cannot get it back to its previous evolution forms. You will be able to teach your new Porygon-Z moves as it levels up, or at the Move Shop in Jubilife Village, if you prefer.

Battle Strategies: Unleashing Porygon-Z's Power

Now that you've got your hands on a Porygon-Z, let's talk about how to use it in battle. Porygon-Z is a special attacker, which means it excels at using special moves. To make the most of your Porygon-Z, you'll want to focus on moves that take advantage of its high Special Attack stat. Here are some key strategies and move recommendations:

Best Moveset for Porygon-Z

  • Hyper Beam: A powerful Normal-type move that can deal massive damage. It requires a turn to recharge after use, so use it wisely. Hyper Beam can be learned by leveling up your Porygon-Z, or at the Move Shop.
  • Tri Attack: A versatile Normal-type move with a chance to inflict burn, freeze, or paralysis.
  • Ice Beam: To cover your weaknesses. An Ice-type move to hit those pesky Ground, Flying and Dragon types. This move is learned through a TM.
  • Shadow Ball: To deal super-effective damage to Ghost-type Pokemon. This move is learned through a TM.

Nature and Effort Values (EVs)

  • Nature: A Modest nature will boost its Special Attack.
  • EVs: Focus on Special Attack and Speed. These EV boosts will make your Porygon-Z hit harder and move faster.

Battle Tips

  • Type Matchups: Remember that Porygon-Z is a Normal-type Pokemon, so it's weak to Fighting-type moves.
  • Positioning: Place Porygon-Z in a position where it can safely launch attacks without being easily targeted by super-effective moves.
  • Team Synergy: Pair Porygon-Z with Pokemon that can cover its weaknesses.

Trading and Multiplayer Options

Pokemon Legends: Arceus has limited multiplayer features, but trading is still an option. Unfortunately, you can't directly trade with other players in the traditional sense. However, you can trade your Pokemon by visiting the Trading Post in Jubilife Village. There, you can trade using items, and specific Pokemon. When trading with your friends, be sure to ask for the right items. You can also trade your Porygon and its evolutions with friends to help them fill their Pokedexes.

Conclusion: Your Porygon-Z Journey
