Like Porygon and Porygon2, it is based on an origami crane made with 3D computer graphics. Its appearance with respect to Porygon2, as well as its unprogrammed behaviors, suggest that it may be based on the concept of a computer virus having infected Porygon2. | Like Porygon and Porygon2, it is based on an origami crane made with 3D computer graphics.

Porygon-Z's name is a mix between ''{{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. The "Z" could either refer to the {{wp|Z axis}} in [[wp:Three-dimensional space|3D]] coordination systems or that Porygon-Z is the last of its evolutionary line (since the letter Z is the last letter of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}). It is also possible that the "Z" was used as a corruption of "2", due to the fact that Porygon-Z is a glitched version of Porygon2. | Porygon-Z's name is a mix between ''{{wp|polygon}}'' and ''{{wp|origami}}''.
