**To use Porygon2 effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Normal type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Porygon2 appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Porygon2 fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Trace, Leftovers and Modest 32/0/7/25/2/0. Its frequent moves include Ice Beam, Tera Blast, Recover, Trick Room, Protect, and Foul Play. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Porygon2 has important weaknesses to fighting 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Incineroar, Torkoal, Kingambit, Farigiraf, and Gholdengo appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
