Artificial Pokémon: Difference between revisions

{{p|Grimer}} (and consequently {{p|Muk}}), according to several [[Pokédex]] entries, was created from human pollution in a stream which was exposed to x-rays from the Moon. This would make it the first (by Pokédex number) Pokémon to emerge due to involvement from humans. Because of the nature of its development, Grimer is highly toxic and uses {{type|Poison}} attacks.

 

{{p|Voltorb}} (and consequently {{p|Electrode}}), according to several Pokédex entries, first appeared at the company where modern [[Poké Ball]]s were developed. While it is not known why, Voltorb looks strikingly similar to the red and white device, and this likely indicates some level of human involvement. It has been speculated to be a conscious form of energy, a theory supported by its {{m|Selfdestruct|unstable nature}}.

Before the discovery of {{p|Golett}}, {{p|Porygon}} was thought to be the first Pokémon created deliberately. It is the first Pokémon deliberately created using modern technology, as the result of an experiment by the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Kanto]]. [[Silph Co.]] possesses a report on the Pokémon, calling it the first "virtual-reality Pokémon". It is made up entirely of computer data and programming, and is able to exist in cyberspace. According to some Pokédex entries, there is copy-protection data embedded in the program to prevent illegal reproduction. Also, Porygon does not breathe. Its Pokédex entry in {{game|Yellow}} speculates it may be capable of space travel; however, this and other abilities are limited to what is included in its program.

Porygon possesses two evolutions, both possible through artificial upgrades. {{p|Porygon2}} evolves from Porygon when it is traded while holding an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}}. According to some Pokédex entries, it is designed to work in and explore space. However, its Pokédex entry in {{game|Platinum}} states it is unable to reach and explore other planets. Porygon2, unlike Porygon, is not limited to what is contained in its program - it is capable of learning.

Porygon2 evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}. It is apparently a modification of Porygon2, designed for travel between different [[dimensions]]. However, it did not work as planned and exhibits erratic behavior. Its body and head are in awkward positions, and it is capable of displaying emotion.

{{p|Banette}} is a plush doll that was thrown away and was possessed by {{p|Shuppet}}. Because of being thrown away, it seeks the child that disowned it.

{{p|Trubbish}}'s, and consequently {{p|Garbodor}}'s, Pokédex entries says it was created when a garbage dump accidentally had a chemical change of some sort.

{{p|Burmy}} create outer cloaks out of their habitat. This may be composed of natural materials, as seen in its Plant Cloak or Sandy Cloak, or of artificial building insulation as seen in its Trash Cloak. Burmy can change its cloak depending on the area it is used to battle in.

Female Burmy evolve into {{p|Wormadam}}, which retain the last cloak it had as a Burmy. This may be the artificial Trash Cloak. If so, it will be a {{2t|Bug|Steel}}-type Pokémon.

{{p|Rotom}} has the ability to possess artificial machinery. These include toasters, washing machines, refrigerators, electric fans and lawnmowers. These allow Rotom to learn moves of different types and change its [[base stats]], while its Ghost type is lost and substituted with a type characteristic of the possessed object.
