Ability: Conversion
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard a basic Energy card from your hand. Porygon-Z is the same type as that Energy Card until the end of your turn. This power can't be used if Porygon-Z is affected by a Special Condition.
Attack: Tri Attack (40×)
Flip 3 coins. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads.
Additional software was installed to make it a better Pokémon. It began acting oddly, however.
