Who Replied?I'd go with Tri Attack for the STAB and status inflicting potential, Discharge/Thunderbolt (whether you want to do more damage or cause paralysis more often), Signal Beam or Dark Pulse for Psychics, and Ice Beam for Dragons.

this has been asked at least a zillion times..
you want tri attack for stab, thunderbolt and icebeam for good coverage. psychic is an alternative for tbolt and ice beam, but bolt beam is a very good combo with tri attack. last and not least you can have nasty plot.
-tri attack
-tbolt
-ice beam
-nasty plot
that's the best moveset.

PorygonZ @ Life Orb/Choice Specs
252 SAttk/252 Spd/4 HP -- Timid/Modest
Scheme/Hyper Beam
Ice Beam/Dark Pulse
Tri-Attack
Thunderbolt/Hidden Power Fighting
Use Boltbeam, or Pulse/HP Fight. Both have great coverage. For Specs, use Hyper Beam. The ability is a toss-up, but I like Download. The nature is up to you, I'd use Timid.

Pass.
Agiligon-Z is the best set for him. :)
- Agility
- Tri-Attack
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
Agility and sweep with 405 special attack (my in-game one has 405 on the dot). Modest.
TBolt and Ice Beam anything they are super effective on, and Tri-Attack everything else.

I like Psychic on Z, to handle Fighting-types and the chance of lowering SDef.

Porygon-Z@Life Orb
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
4 HP/ 252 SpAtk/ 252 Spd
Adaptability Trait
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Tri Attack
-Nasty Plot
With the speed boosting nature you don't have to worry about agility, you'll already be faster, and potentially doubleing your special attack, in my opinion, is a thousand times better than doubling speed. Adaptability is the wanted trait here seeing as it is a whole nother STAB. And the thunderbolt/ ice beam combo is resisted by few.
Tri Attack + STAB + Adaptability = 180 base power Tri Attack.
^^That's the main reason you would want this set. Plus, this is the best way to handle him.
Fear for the Glitched pokemon.

Unfortunately, Porygon-Z has bad defece, so it be a bit difficult to pull off Nasty Plot. I agree, that is the best way to pull him off.

No, Adaptability just changes STAB to 2x instead of 1.5x.
Wait, what? Are you commenting to what I wrote, or to what someone else wrote? If what you say is true, then Porygon-Z is more of a special sweeper than I thought.

That moveset was right down the toilet.

Well, you have any advice along with that criticism? Here would be my moveset, note that I don't use Porygon-Z
Porygon-Z-Timid
Nasty Plot
Tri Attack
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
I could of sworn I saw this same set eairler. But I don't use this. Nutrisweet, make changes as you see fit.

I actually think anything along the lines of *not* Agility and *definitely not* Hyper Beam would be fine. That moveset was mentioned earlier, and it's probably one of the best things you can do for a P-Z.

I would just like to say... use a Porygon2!! get a special sweeper somewhere else.
OK, so that is harsh, but I was a real fan of Porygon2 and feel that this 'Z' kind of betrays the Porygon tank spirit.

Porygon2 is a novelty Pokemon.
