Physiology
Porygon-Z is a modification of Porygon2. Porygon-Z appears similar to Porygon2, albeit darker in color. Most notably, its head is detached from the body and upside down, 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. 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. Porygon-Z can now levitate, unlike its pre-evolution, Porygon2. This is shown by its behavior in Pokémon Battle Revolution and in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2, 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.
