Is Tri Attack Porygon-Z worth it in Pokemon GO?

Tri Attack Porygon-Z in PvP

Neither Tri Attack nor Porygon-Z are desirable Pokemon GO Battle League picks. The Normal-type Charged Attack deals 65 damage at 50 energy and has a 50% chance of lowering the target's Attack and Defense by one stage. These numbers don't make for either a good bait move, nuke, or even a debuffer. This makes Tri Attack a jack of all trades master of none.

Porygon-Z is outclassed by Normal-type critters like Vigoroth, Greedent, and Lickitung, which are easy to find and offer more versatile coverage in trainer battles.

Tri Attack Porygon-Z in PvE

In PvP, Porygon-Z — with or without its Porygon Community Day move — doesn't have much value as a raid or Gym attacker in Pokemon GO. This is because Normal-type moves don't deal super effective damage to anything. Moreover, Porygon-Z doesn't have a high enough Attack stat to offset the absence of the super-effective multiplier.

Although Porygon-Z can be a decent Gym defender, this creature offers more value with the non-exclusive Hyper Beam as its Charged Attack than the Porygon Community Day move, Tri Attack.

Is Pokemon GO Porygon Community Day Classic worth playing from a PvP and PvE perspective?

From a strictly PvP and PvE perspective, the Porygon Community Day Classic is an irrelevant one. However, it offers a great chance to obtain the shiny variants of the Virtual Pokemon, as each stage looks distinct and fascinating.

Furthermore, the event will have a 3x Catch XP bonus active during its period, which can be helpful if the rumored Pokemon GO level 60 ends up being a reality.
