Triumphant Porygon-Z

A Dubious Disc is featured in the artwork of the Triumphant Porygon-Z card.

Trivia

  • Porygon-Z's Pokédex entries imply that the Dubious Disc was modified to enable it to work in alien dimensions, but that an unplanned error in the programming corrupted Porygon-Z and prevented it from fulfilling this purpose.
