Porygon-Z

Porygon-Z is a Normal-type Pokémon from the Pokémon series. It is the final evolution of Porygon, and appears at #194 in the Sinnoh Pokédex and #474 in the National Pokédex.

Porygon-Z is the "upgraded" version of Porygon2, though the origins of the software required to upgrade Porygon2 into Porygon-Z are dubious and unknown, and as a result, Porygon-Z is plagued with errors and its behaviour is erratic. It was apparently designed to travel to alien dimensions.

In M.U.G.E.N, Porygon-Z has been made by RoySquadRocks. It uses attacks that Porygon-Z can learn in the Pokémon games, as well as sprites created by Joshr from The Spriters Resource.

Gameplay


Porygon-Z is a 6-button character that relies a lot on projectiles as its melee attacks (minus "Giga Impact") have a relatively short range. As the character is rather beam/projectile-heavy, many of its attacks can infinitely trap the opponent, and is pretty safe to play as, seeing as melee-oriented characters that lack projectiles will have a hard time actually getting close enough to damage Porygon-Z. It also has infinite priority in its attack hitboxes, meaning it can cancel out the opponent's attacks without its own being stopped.

Many of its attacks that use up power deal far too much damage for the amount of power they drain, with some taking more than half the opponent's life away for just 1000 power. Unlike Porygon-Z as a Pokémon, this character does not have lower-than-average defences, making it just as durable as Kung Fu Man, for instance; adding that to its projectile-happy gameplay makes it cheap and difficult to take down, but also very easy to use. It can also restore its own health without the opponent being able to stop it, as it pauses the round for a random amount of time.

Porygon-Z does have some humorous quirks to it, mainly based around loading screens, glitches and other computer-related elements. Whenever it uses a hyper, the screen will be briefly covered by the name of the hyper and a loading bar. Perhaps akin to the infamous banned Pokémon anime episode, some of Porygon-Z's attacks feature seizurific strobe effects. The character also features special intros against certain characters, including Fighting-type Pokémon, Kung Fu Man and RoySquadRocks' other characters.
