'''Porygon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポリゴン''' ''Porygon'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.


It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Porygon2}} when [[trade]]d holding an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}}, which evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Porygon2}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding an [[Upgrade]], which evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded while holding a [[Dubious Disc]].
 
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for more details.)


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Porygon Conversion.png|thumb|left|250px|Porygon changing its appearance using {{m|Conversion}}]]
Porygon is the first known [[artificial Pokémon]] that was ever created. It was created by [[Pokémon Lab]] according to a Pokémon Report found in [[Silph Co.]] In addition, its presence as a prize pokémon in the then-Team Rocket owned Celadon Game Corner as well as Team Rocket's earlier control over Silph Co. suggests that Team Rocket was involved in its creation.
Porygon is an {{pkmn2|artificial}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} made completely out of programming code. It has a pink, polyhedral head that ends in a blue beak and has hexagonal eyes, and it has a pink polyhedral body with a blue front, blue triangular prism feet, and a blue rectangular prism tail. In 3D games, such as [[Pokémon Stadium]], it can open its beak and can detach its limbs and head from its torso. According to its [[Pokédex]] entries, it has copy protection built into its code, preventing duplication through electronic means. It was created [[History of the Pokémon world#Recent history|in 1995]] by [[Silph Co.]],<ref>[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]</ref> but documents at Silph Co. claim it was created at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]] using the state-of-the-art technology of its time. Because it was created decades ago, many of its parts have since become obsolete. It was the first artificial Pokémon to have ever been created through computer programming. In ancient [[Hisui]], people were confused about Porygon and its evolutions due to them arriving through [[space-time distortion]]s and being the product of far more advanced technology than what was available at the time.


Porygon has a pink polyhedral body with a blue stomach, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and legs|blue triangular prism feet}}, and a blue rectangular prism tail. Porygon has a pink, polyhedral head that ends in a blue beak and has hexagonal eyes. Porygon is made completely out of programming code. Built into this code is a Silph copyright protection preventing duplication through electronic means.
Due to its man-made origins, Porygon does not need to breathe or eat, though it can still accept food if given. It has the ability to convert its body into digital data, allowing it to travel through cyberspace. Recently, it has become more helpful inside cyberspace by searching for any suspicious data that exists. Some believed Porygon has the power to potentially travel in space despite the species not displaying that ability yet. Because it is man-made, it is generally found in computers or in labs and other {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|buildings}} where people work.


====Gender differences====
Porygon and its evolved forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Conversion}} and {{m|Conversion 2}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Sharpen}} was also one of its signature moves. Additionally, prior to Generation V, Porygon and its evolved forms are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Download}} as an [[Ability]]. It can use Conversion to change its appearance to mimic another Pokémon's and has also demonstrated the ability to change color for camouflage.
Porygon is a genderless species.
{{left clear}}


===Special abilities===
===Evolution===
[[File:Porygon Conversion.png|thumb|Porygon changing its appearance using {{m|Conversion}}]]
Porygon evolves into {{p|Porygon2}}, which evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
Porygon is shown with the ability to change types into either one of its own moves or its opponent's type, or to resist the last move that hit it using a process only it and its evolutions can know. This process is known as {{m|Conversion}} or {{m|Conversion 2}}, with Conversion having the former function, and Conversion 2 having the latter function.  


Porygon is also capable of changing its appearance using {{m|Sharpen}}, and is one of the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] that can learn this move.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
 
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
Porygon is capable of using various {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks, along with a few {{t|Psychic}} abilities and the rare ability to wield {{m|Tri Attack}}.
{{Evobox-3
 
|type1=Normal
Due to its man-made origins, Porygon does not have the need to breathe.
|pictype=art
 
|no1=0137
Even though Porygon is an unevolved, non-[[legendary Pokémon]], it can still learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}. This is because it could not evolve when it was introduced.
|name1=Porygon
 
|type1-1=Normal
===Behavior===
|evo1=
Porygon can only perform the basic motions included in its program, and thus it can be said that its behavior is artificial.
|no2=0233
 
|name2=Porygon2
===Habitat===
|type1-2=Normal
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
|evo2=
Because they are man-made, Porygon are generally found in computers or in labs and other buildings people work, which makes them almost uncatchable. However, Porygon are found in the wild in Sinnoh's [[Trophy Garden]] and can be won at the Rocket Game Corner in [[Celadon City]].
|no3=0474
 
|name3=Porygon-Z
===Diet===
|type1-3=Normal}}
{{main|Pokémon food}}
</div>
Porygon is completely artificial and doesn't need to eat. However, it can still be fed Pokémon food in [[Pokémon Snap]], [[Gummi]]s and [[Food (Mystery Dungeon)|other foods]] in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, and [[Poffin]]s, [[Pokéblock]]s, and [[Aprijuice]] in the [[Version|main series]].
 
==In the anime==
[[File:Porygon anime.png|right|thumb|210px|Porygon in the anime]]
 
===Major appearances===
Porygon made its first and only major anime appearance in ''[[EP038|Electric Soldier Porygon]]''. This episode caused almost 700 children in Japan to have seizures due to a flashing strobe effect, and was therefore banned and never aired again anywhere in the world. Since then, Porygon and its evolutions have never played a main role in another episode, despite the fact that it was actually {{AP|Pikachu}} who caused the strobe effect which gave children seizures.
[[File:Porygon Aim to Be a Pokémon Master.png|thumb|right|200px|Porygon in ''Aim to Be a Pokémon Master'']]
 
===Minor appearances===
Although it did not appear, a Trainer was attempting to send out their Porygon to fight the {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]''. This was only present in the dub.
 
A Porygon made its dub debut in a brief appearance during a graphic display in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''.
 
A Porygon made a cameo during the "World of Pokémon" opening narration of the [[M04|fourth]] movie, oddly being the only Pokémon in the shot appearing behind a wire fence. It also had a similar cameo appearance in the [[M05|fifth]] movie as the "World of Pokémon" segment from the fourth movie was reused.
 
==In the manga==
[[File:Giovanni Porygon PM.png|200px|thumb|Porygon as seen in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Blue's Porygon2}}
{{adv|Blue}} obtains a Porygon during his time in [[Celadon City]], and it has since then become a core member of his team. Prior to {{PAV|13}}, it has since evolved into Porygon2.
 
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[Team Rocket]] uses multiple Porygon as sentries for their hideout.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Porygon (TCG)}}
 
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]===
Porygon pops out of a door on top of the [[Silph Co.]] building in the [[Saffron City (stage)|Saffron City stage]]. It damages players that come into contact with it.
 
Porygon's only appearance in Melee is that of a Poké Float. When the fighting is on {{p|Slowpoke}}'s tail, three will travel across the top of the screen. However, they move too quickly to land on and so are little more than decoration in practice.

Porygon [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Porygon2}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding an [[Upgrade]], which evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded while holding a [[Dubious Disc]]. Porygon cannot evolve into Porygon2 in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} until the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its evolution will be interrupted. Porygon also cannot evolve into Porygon2 in {{LGPE}}, as Porygon2 is not present in those games. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Porygon evolves into Porygon2 when exposed to an Upgrade, which evolves into Porygon-Z when exposed to a Dubious Disc.

===Major appearances===
Porygon's only major anime appearance was in [[EP038]]. [[Dr. Akihabara]] created two specimens, {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Porygon Zero|one}} of which was stolen by {{TRT}}, while the other one was borrowed by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Both remained with Dr. Akihabara at the end of the episode.
 
This episode caused more than 600 children in Japan to be transferred to hospitals by ambulance because of seizure-like symptoms they reported, due to a flashing strobe effect present at several points of the episode, and was therefore [[Banned episodes|banned]] and never aired again anywhere in the world. Since then, Porygon and its evolved forms, {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, have never played a main role in the anime.
 
===Minor appearances===
Porygon made its English dub debut in a scene transition in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''. A similar transition appears in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]''.
 
Porygon appeared in the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment for the English dub of ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', and was featured with an English voice, making this the only time Porygon appeared with such a voice in the anime.
 
In the opening sequence of both ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'' (the former only in the case of the dub, since said intro sequence was originally made for the latter), an unhappy Porygon can be seen floating behind a wire fence in a city.
 
In a shot in a "World of Pokémon" opening at the beginning of ''[[The Journey to be a Pokémon Master Begins!!]]'', a Porygon was floating above a fence, similar to the aforementioned {{pkmn|movie}}s.
 
Porygon made a cameo appearance in the "World of Pokémon" opening of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', which featured every Pokémon from the first five [[generation]]s revealed to that point.
 
A Porygon appeared as an image in ''[[SM020|Partner Promises!]]''.
 
==In the manga==

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
{{main|Blue's Porygon}}
{{adv|Blue}} obtained a Porygon at the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]] in ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]'', and it soon became a core member of his team. Prior to {{PAV|13}}, it evolved into a {{p|Porygon2}}.
 
===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}====
A Porygon appeared at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|IV}} in ''[[PS427|Uprooting Seedot]]''.
 
===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
A Porygon appeared in ''[[PASM05|The Announcement and the Prize]]'', under the ownership of [[Gladion]]. It was used in a couple of battles during the [[Iki Town]] festival, helping Gladion to defeat [[Hau]] and {{adv|Moon}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Porygon (TCG)}}
 
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]===
Porygon pops out of a door on top of the [[Silph Co.]] building in the {{OBP|Saffron City|stage|Saffron City stage}}. It damages players that come into contact with it.
 
Porygon's only appearance in Melee is that of a Poké Float. When the fighting is on {{p|Slowpoke}}'s tail, three will travel across the top of the screen. However, they move too quickly to land on and so are little more than decoration in practice.
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Porygon retains its role as a stage element in the Saffron City stage, as well as appearing as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* [[Dr. Akihabara]] developed Porygon in the anime.
* Porygon is the only Pokémon that evolves by trade twice: once holding the [[Upgrade]] into {{p|Porygon2}}, and a second time (as Porygon2) into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when holding a [[Dubious Disc]]. It is also the only Pokémon in a [[:Category:Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|three-stage evolutionary line]] that does not require leveling up to trigger any of its evolutions (i.e. it is possible to acquire a Porygon-Z at level 1).
* Porygon is the only Pokémon that evolves by trade twice: Once holding the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}} into {{p|Porygon2}}, and a second time (as Porygon2) into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}.
* Porygon's evolutionary line is the only three-stage evolutionary line whose members were all considered fully evolved during their respective debut generations.
** Porygon is the only Pokémon that can be evolved twice at level 1.
* Porygon is the only Pokémon to have its {{pkmn|category}} changed in Japanese. Its category in {{game|Red and Green|s}} is シージーポケモン ''CG Pokémon'', which was changed to バーチャルポケモン ''Virtual Pokémon'' from {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Pokémon Blue}} onwards.
* ''[[EP038|Electric Soldier Porygon]]'', which featured Porygon, caused seizures and irritated eyes. It was not Porygon itself, but {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which caused the problematic blue and red flash - even so, none of Porygon's evolutions have had any appearance in the anime since, except for the intro of the [[M04|fourth]] and [[M05|fifth]] movies and re-runs using the [[Pokérap]].
*According to the [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], Porygon was developed in the year 1995.
* Porygon is the only Pokémon who evolves into a smaller Pokémon and then evolves into a larger Pokémon.
* Porygon's evolutionary line is the only three-stage evolutionary line whose members can all learn ''both'' {{m|Giga Impact}} and {{m|Hyper Beam}}.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], the Porygon family had three [[signature move]]s, along with {{p|Vespiquen}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation I}}, and the {{p|Cubone}} family{{tt|*|Prior to Generation IV}}, the most out of all Pokémon.
* In [[Generation II]], it is possible for Porygon to use both effects of the move {{m|Curse}}. Simply using the move would cause Curse's effect for non-{{type|Ghost}}s. Using either {{m|Conversion}} or {{m|Conversion 2}} could change Porygon's type to Ghost and cause Curse to have its effect for Ghost-types. This is also possible for {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Smeargle}}.
* Porygon is one of five Pokémon that initially did not evolve into or from another Pokémon, but is now part of a three-stage evolutionary line, the other four being {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Magmar}}, {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Roselia}}. However, unlike the others, Porygon received two evolutions, while the others got a pre-evolution and a new evolution.
* Despite being an unevolved Pokémon which can evolve twice, Porygon has a higher base stat total than {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Beautifly}} and {{p|Dustox}}, final form Pokémon which have evolved twice.
* In the 3D games, Porygon's animation reveals that it can detach its limbs and head when necessary. It can be seen thrusting its head forward until it breaks off for a brief second.
** In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and {{g|Snap}}, it is shown that Porygon can make itself transparent or camouflaged. It cannot learn the move {{m|Camouflage}}, however.
* Despite being man-made, composed of only computer data, Porygon can be hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}}.
* Despite Porygon and its evolutions being able to float, it does not possess the {{a|Levitate}} Ability.
** However, it can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}.
* Porygon is heavier than both of its evolutions.


===Origin===
===Origin===
It appears to be based on the concept of an origami crane made with primitive 3D graphics software.
Porygon seems to be based on a {{wp|bird}} or {{wp|Orizuru|paper crane}} that has been {{wp|rendering (computer graphics)|rendered}} using digital software. The head-tipping motion it displays in some games is reminiscent of a {{wp|drinking bird}} toy. The flat shapes comprising its body are similar to the {{wp|polygon mesh}} used to create {{wp|3D computer graphics}}. Its Pokédex entries imply a connection to {{wp|artificial intelligence}} and {{wp|robotic spacecraft}}.
 
In a 1997 interview with the magazine Famimaga 64, [[Satoshi Tajiri]] stated that Porygon was created out of irony. According to him, during the development of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, people kept telling him that he was too late on making a game for the [[Game Boy]], and that he should start making games with 3D polygonal graphics for next generation consoles. As a result, he included Porygon, a Pokémon made out of polygons, in the sprite-based Pokémon Red and Green, hence the irony.<ref>ファミマガ64 (Famimaga 64), November 1997 issue (Japanese)</ref>


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Porygon is a combination of ''{{wp|polygon}}'' and ''{{wp|origami}}''. It may also reflect the stereotype that Japanese people pronounce their 'L' sounds as 'R' sounds, Porygon being a mispronunciation of polygon.
Porygon is a corruption of ''{{wp|polygon}}''.
