Porygon-Z (Japanese: ポリゴンZ PorygonZ) is a Normal-type Pokémon. It evolves from Porygon2. Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon that evolves from a Pokémon that evolves via trading while holding an item.
Biology
Physiology
Porygon-Z appears similar to Porygon2, albeit darker in color. Most notably, its head and body are completely upside down to go along with its status as a glitch. The neck has also been removed. Its legs are attached oddly as well. The blue pattern on a Porygon2's stomach is also different; it now appears as a blue ring on Porygon-Z. Finally, its eyes are large and yellow with rings around the pupils, emphasizing the Pokémon being shocked.
Gender differences
Porygon-Z is genderless.
Special abilities
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. 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.

In the anime
As with Porygon2, it is currently believed that Porygon-Z will not appear in the anime as a result of the Electric Soldier Porygon incident.

Trivia
- Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon whose Japanese name is spelled with a character from a foreign alphabet.
- This Pokémon is the only Pokémon to learn Trick Room by level, so far.
- Porygon-Z shares the highest Special Attack stat in the game (excluding legendaries) with Alakazam.
- It weighs as much as Dawn.
Origin
Like Porygon and Porygon2, it seems to be based on the concept of a bird created by computer graphics software. It is essentially a glitched Porygon2 with some minor differences. It could also be based loosely on MissingNo., the both of them being glitches.
Name origin
Its name is a misspelling of polygon. The "Z" could either refer to the Z axis in 3D coordination systems or that Porygon-Z is the last of its evolutionary line (since the letter Z is the last letter of the 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.
