Some people think Porygon sucks and some people think Porygon is good. First of all, let's look at the stats:

Porygon           30 HP

C: Conversion 1. If your opponent has a weakness, you may switch it to a type other than colorless. (The effect ends when the Pokemon retreats.
CC: Conversion 2. Change Porygon's resistance to a type other than colorless.
Weakness:Fighting
Resistance:Psychic
Retreat:1


Let's check the HP first. 30 HP? That sucks. You're better off using Conversion 2 so it would seem like Porygon has more HP. So let's see.... 30+30=60 HP. That's not bad when you use Conversion 2. The strategy is to use Conversion 2 first to be able to take more damage. Use Conversion 1 to switch it to a color that use have in play. Hope your opponent can't kill you and Resistance makes it harder to kill. Then after, retreat it and send out a Pokemon to KO it.

Strength:

-Ability to change weaknesses and resistance.
-Resistance to psychic when you don't use conversion 2.

Weakness:

-30 HP.
-A Pokemon that can't attack.
-1 retreat.

I personally think that putting Porygon in your deck is a choice you have to make. Here is a killer combo:

Dodrio + Porygon. Able to retreat much easier without discarding an energy!
