Porygon2 (Japanese:ポリゴン２Porygon2) is aNormal-typePokémon introduced inGeneration II.

Itevolves fromPorygon whentraded while holding anUpgrade, and evolves intoPorygon-Z when traded while holding aDubious Disc.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer toGame data→Evolution data for more details.)

Biology

Porygon2 is a rounded, magenta,artificialPokémon that shows similarities to adrinking bird. It has a relatively flat bill and large, round eyes. Its legs are simple ovoid growths along its sides, and its tail widens towards the middle. Its bill, legs, tail, and underside are blue.

Porygon2's Evolution fromPorygon was the result of it being upgraded from the most cutting-edge technology available. It was upgraded to work in space for planetary development reasons, although its inability to fly limits this ability. It is artificially intelligent and capable of learning new behaviors on its own, including information it does not need to know. It can also speak a strange language only other Porygon2 can understand. As a result, it will sometimes perform motions or abilities that are not in its programming. It is generally found in computers or in labs andother buildings working with people. It can survive in a space vacuum, though cannot move very well in zero gravity. In ancientHisui, people were confused about Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives due to them arriving throughspace-time distortions and being the product of far more advanced technology than what was available at the time.

Prior toGeneration IX, Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives were theonly known Pokémon capable of learning the movesConversion andConversion 2. Additionally, prior toGeneration V and in Generation IX, Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives are theonly known Pokémon that can haveDownload as anAbility.

Trophy information

Representing the next step in technological progress, this Virtual Pokémon is a higher-powered version of the man-made Pokémon, Porygon. Compared to the sharp edges of its relative, Porygon2's body is extremely smooth and rounded. In battle, it utilizes a special move calledConversion 2 to alter its type.

Trivia

• Porygon2 is the only Pokémon with a numeral in its name.
  • In theGeneration II games, it is impossible to return a nicknamed Porygon2 to its species name, because numbers are not available for nicknames.
• Porygon's evolutionary line has several unique attributes:
  • They are the only three-stage evolutionary line whose members were all considered fully evolved during their respective debut generations. For this reason, they are the only Pokémon that are part of a three-stage Evolution line to be capable of learning bothHyper Beam andGiga Impact.
  • They are the onlyNormal-typePokémon in theMineral Egg Group.
• Porygon2 is the only non-fullyevolved Pokémon that evolves into and from another Pokémon by trading.
  • Furthermore, Porygon2,Chansey, andDipplin are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon that evolve from another Pokémon through the use of anitem.
• Porygon2 is the only non-fully evolved Pokémon used by opponents inBattle Subway Super Trains,Battle Maison Super Course challenges, and theBattle Tree, and consequently the only Pokémon in thesebattle facilities to hold anEviolite.
• Porygon2 is the only member of its evolutionary line that has not received ananimated series voice, asPorygon's voice was heard inEP038 and theWho's That Pokémon? segment forA Way Off Day Off, andPorygon-Z was given avoice for its appearance inPokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure.
• All of Porgyon2's stats are exactly twenty points higher than its pre-Evolution's.

Origin

Porygon2 seems to be based on abird orpaper crane that has beenrendered using computer software. The head-tipping motion it displays in some games is reminiscent of adrinking bird toy. Its rounder body compared toPorygon may represent the concept ofsubdivision in3D computer graphics. As anupgraded version of Porygon, it may also referencesoftware versioning. The fact that it's lighter than its previous form may be based onoptimization. Its Pokédex entries imply a connection toartificial intelligence androbotic spacecraft.

Name origin

Porygon2 is a combination ofPorygon and the number2, referencing the Pokémon's status as the secondEvolution of Porygon and it being intended as anupgraded "version 2" of Porygon.
