Biology

Porygon2 is a rounded, magenta, artificial Pokémon that shows similarities to a drinking 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 from Porygon 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 and other buildings working with people. It can survive in a space vacuum, though cannot move very well in zero gravity. In ancient Hisui, people were confused about Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives due to them arriving through space-time distortions and being the product of far more advanced technology than what was available at the time.

Prior to Generation IX, Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives were the only known Pokémon capable of learning the moves Conversion and Conversion 2. Additionally, prior to Generation V and in Generation IX, Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives are the only known Pokémon that can have Download as an Ability.

Porygon2 evolves from Porygon when traded while holding an Upgrade, and evolves into Porygon-Z when traded while holding a Dubious Disc. Porygon cannot evolve into Porygon2 in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen until the player obtains the National Pokédex, as its Evolution will be interrupted. Porygon also cannot evolve into Porygon2 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as Porygon2 is not present in those games. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Porygon2 evolves from Porygon when exposed to an Upgrade, and evolves into Porygon-Z when exposed to a Dubious Disc.

In animation

Porygon2 made its unofficial animated series debut in the English dub via stock art in the Johto Pokérap.

Porygon2's only other appearance (and as such, the only one in original Japanese version) was in Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice's "World of Pokémon" opening, which featured every Pokémon from the first five generations revealed to that point.

Due to the EP038 incident, Porygon2 has not appeared in an episode of the animated series, and it is the only Generation II Pokémon not to appear. Along with its evolved form, Porygon-Z, it is also the only Pokémon prior to Generation VIII that is neither Legendary nor Mythical to not appear in an episode of the animated series.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Main article: Blue's Porygon2

In Forretress of Solitude, the Pokémon Association used a Porygon2 to test Red to become Viridian City's Gym Leader.

In Playful Porygon2, it was revealed that Blue's Porygon evolved into Porygon2, as it battled with Silver's Sneasel.

When released from a Poké Ball, Porygon2 will immediately use a powerful Tackle attack that sends opponents flying. The attack cannot be escaped due to the speed in which it happens but Porygon2 is harmless once the attack has finished.

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 called Conversion 2 to alter its type.

Trivia

• Porygon2 is the only Pokémon with a numeral in its name.
  • In the Generation 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 both Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.
  • They are the only Normal-type Pokémon in the Mineral Egg Group.
• Porygon2 is the only non-fully evolved Pokémon that evolves into and from another Pokémon by trading.
  • Furthermore, Porygon2, Chansey, and Dipplin are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon that evolve from another Pokémon through the use of an item.
• Porygon2 is the only non-fully evolved Pokémon used by opponents in Battle Subway Super Trains, Battle Maison Super Course challenges, and the Battle Tree, and consequently the only Pokémon in these battle facilities to hold an Eviolite.
• Porygon2 is the only member of its evolutionary line that has not received an animated series voice, as Porygon's voice was heard in EP038 and the Who's That Pokémon? segment for A Way Off Day Off, and Porygon-Z was given a voice for its appearance in PokéPark 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 a bird or paper crane that has been rendered using computer software. The head-tipping motion it displays in some games is reminiscent of a drinking bird toy. Its rounder body compared to Porygon may represent the concept of subdivision in 3D computer graphics. As an upgraded version of Porygon, it may also reference software versioning. The fact that it's lighter than its previous form may be based on optimization. Its Pokédex entries imply a connection to artificial intelligence and robotic spacecraft.

Name origin

Porygon2 is a combination of Porygon and the number 2, referencing the Pokémon's status as the second Evolution of Porygon and it being intended as an upgraded "version 2" of Porygon.
