Physiology
Porygon-Z is apparently an illegal or leaked modification of Porygon2. Porygon-Z appears similar to Porygon2, albeit darker in color. Most notably, its head is detached from the body, much like Porygon's legs, with no visible neck and yellow eyes with a bull's-eye shaped pattern. Its bill is more round, and doesn't curve down as it did in its Porygon2 stage. On its head is a small, horn-like structure, which is the least-rounded appendage on its body. Its legs are now wing-like, and its posture resembles that of a hummingbird. The tail is a little plumper, with the blue pattern on its chest no longer being isolated and now connecting to its legs/wings. It almost looks like the head and body of Porygon2 were flipped over in opposite directions (and thus detached) during evolution due to a glitch in programming, like a 3D rendering can mess up horribly due to one wrong variable. Porygon-Z can now levitate, unlike its pre-evolution, Porygon2. This is shown by its behavior in Pokémon Battle Revolution, where Porygon-Z hovers in midair.
Gender differences
Porygon-Z is genderless.
Special abilities
Porygon-Z, and its pre-evolved forms, Porygon, and Porygon2, are the only known Pokémon that can know Conversion, Conversion 2, and Sharpen.
Porygon-Z has significantly higher Special Attack power than Porygon2 and is slightly faster. However, Porygon-Z also has weaker defenses.
Behavior
Being a cybernetic Pokémon, it exhibits the behavior that was programmed into it as a Porygon. However, it may also display emotions and some erratic behavior that was not a part of its programming. Porygon-Z can sometimes be seen shaking rapidly for a short time. Whether this is intentional or a glitch is unknown.
Habitat
Porygon-Z normally live in cyberspace, but they can live practically anywhere due to the lack of the need to breathe.
