This guide will show you how to build some of the strongest Crimson Blaze Porygon-Z Decks. We'll cover the best Crimson Blaze Porygon-Z Deck builds, how to use them, as well how to beat Crimson Blaze Porygon-Z Decks, and more!

The decks on this page reflect the meta around the Crimson Blaze Expansion.

Best Crimson Blaze Porygon-Z Decks

Crimson Blaze Porygon-Z Deck Variants Strengths and Weaknesses
CB Porygon-Z Deck Icon CB Porygon-Z Deck Strengths:
• Porygon-Z has the potential to deal lots of damage against decks that run lots of Trainer cards.
• Porygon-Z is a single-point Pokemon that can be set up easily thanks to Mantyke and Pichu, as well as Porygon2 and its Ability.
Weaknesses:
• May lose firepower later in the game as opponents make use of more Trainer cards.

Porygon-Z can deal lots of damage with Cyberjack, which counts how many Trainer cards are in your opponent's deck. Because competitive decks are comprised of more Trainer cards than Pokemon, Cyberjack will always be dealing significant damage.

Baby Pokemon Pichu and Mantyke can help with Porygon-Z's steep Energy requirement, having it ready to attack in only a few turns.

Porygon2 from Wisdom of Sea and Sky can also quickly complete your setup by simply attaching an Energy to it, thanks to its Buggy Evolution Ability.

Crimson Blaze Porygon-Z Deck Strategy Guide

Set Porygon-Z Up with Baby Pokemon

The deck's Baby Pokemon can easily set up your benched Porygons, making Porygon-Z's 3 Energy Cost Attack not feel so steep. Do remember that Pichu and Mantyke can only attach to Basic Pokemon. This means that you will no longer be able to attach Energy with Splashy and Crackly Toss once Porygon evolves into Porygon2 or Porygon-Z.

Best Baby Pokemon Decks

Use Porygon-Z to Overwhelm Your Opponents

Porygon-Z has the potential to deal significant damage because most decks at least 10 Trainers in their deck. More competitive decks who would want more options would often want more Trainer cards in their deck, freeing up Porygon-Z to deal even more damage.

Because of Cyberpunk's conditional damage, its damage output is highest earlier in the game, and can weaken as the game progresses. Prioritize getting damage off before the game draws out.

How to Beat Crimson Blaze Porygon-Z Decks

Use Up Your Trainer Cards

You can mitigate Porygon-Z's damage output by using up your Trainers. By having them all in your hand or Discard Pile, you'll have less Trainers in your deck, making it so Cyberjack deals even less damage.
