In the [[Pokémon world]], a great deal of advanced technology is shown to be used by [[human]]s. Among this technology is the ability to create '''artificial Pokémon'''—{{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have not emerged naturally but have been created, either through experiments or indirect means.

===#088 Grimer and #089 Muk===
===Voltorb and Electrode===
[[File:Grimer anime.png|thumb|Human pollution indirectly caused Grimer's creation.]]
{{p|Grimer}}, and consequently {{p|Muk}}, were created from human pollution in a stream exposed to {{wp|X-ray}}s from the Moon, according to several [[Pokédex]] entries. As they were created from genetic waste, Grimer and Muk are {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
 
===#100 Voltorb and #101 Electrode===
[[File:Wattson Voltorb.png|left|thumb|Voltorb takes on the appearance of a Poké Ball.]]
{{p|Voltorb}} and, as such, {{p|Electrode}}, first appeared, according to several Pokédex entries, at [[Silph Co.|the company]] where modern [[Poké Ball]]s were developed. It is rumored that it was first created when a Poké Ball was exposed to a powerful pulse of energy.

===#137 Porygon, #233 Porygon2, and #474 Porygon-Z===
===Porygon's evolutionary family===
[[File:Porygon Zero.png||thumb|Porygon can exist as computer data in cyberspace.]]
[[File:Porygon Zero.png|thumb|200px|Porygon is a life form made of computer data.]]
Until the re-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." Because it is made up entirely of computer data, it is able to exist in cyberspace. According to some Pokédex entries, there is copy-protection data embedded in the program to prevent illegal reproduction. Porygon was developed to work in space, but it lacks this ability until evolving.
Until the re-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 [[Cinnabar Lab]] in [[Kanto]]. [[Silph Co.]] possesses a report on the Pokémon, calling it the first "virtual-reality Pokémon." Because it is made up entirely of computer data, it is able to exist in cyberspace. According to some Pokédex entries, there is copy-protection data embedded in the program to prevent illegal reproduction, however as Porygon can be bred using {{p|Ditto}}, this is arguably ineffective. Porygon was developed to work in space, but it lacks this ability until evolving.


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; despite this, it is unable to reach and explore other planets. Unlike its predecessor, Porygon2 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 a modification of Porygon2, designed for travel between different [[dimensions]]. However, it did not work as planned so it exhibits erratic behavior and is capable of displaying emotion.

===#150 Mewtwo===
===Mewtwo===
[[File:Mewtwo M01.png|left|thumb|Mewtwo was created artificially as a clone of Mew.]]
[[File:Mewtwo M01.png|left|thumb|250px|Mewtwo is a clone of Mew.]]
{{p|Mewtwo}} is a powerful legendary Pokémon, the result of gene splicing experiments using the DNA of {{p|Mew}}. According to logs found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} in Kanto, Mew "gave birth" to Mewtwo after an embryo had been developed. This is inconsistent with Pokémon traditionally being born from {{pkmn|Egg}}s. It has a somewhat artificial appearance, most notably the tube protruding from the back of its neck. Like Mew, it harnesses powerful {{t|psychic}} energy. However, Mewtwo's power was amplified to exceed Mew's power in an effort to create the most powerful Pokémon ever created.

===#343 Baltoy and #344 Claydol===
===Baltoy and Claydol===
Many Pokédex entries of {{p|Claydol}} state that it and its pre-evolution, {{p|Baltoy}}, were originally clay figures created by ancient people. The figures came to life after being exposed to mystical rays.

===#351 Castform===
===Castform===
[[File:Bart.png|right|thumb|Castform was created by scientists and can change forms with the weather.]]
{{p|Castform}} was created by scientists at the [[Weather Institute]] in [[Hoenn]] to help predict the [[weather]]. Because of this, it has the ability to {{a|Forecast|change}} its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]] and type with the weather.

===#568 Trubbish and #569 Garbodor===
===Trubbish and Garbodor===
{{p|Trubbish}}'s Pokédex entries says it was created when garbage and industrial waste mixed, causing a reaction that generated Trubbish. {{p|Garbodor}}, as its evolution, springs from the same source.

===Genesect===
{{p|Genesect}}, a Mythical Pokémon, was a different Pokémon many years ago. However, in [[Unova]], [[Team Plasma]] reconstructed it from a [[Fossil]] with the goal to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. [[N]] cancelled the project due to his belief that a Pokémon modified by science would lose its pureness. [[P2 Laboratory#Event 2|One scientist]], however, kept working on the project in secrecy, disagreeing with N's decision to cancel it. The scientist equipped Genesect with a metallic body, a cannon behind its head, and items known as [[drive]]s which change the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Techno Blast}}.
===Type: Null and Silvally===
{{p|Type: Null}} was created by the [[Aether Foundation]] as part of its "Beast Killer" project- an initiative to create a Pokémon optimized for battling the [[Ultra Beast]]s by using cell cultures from all known types of Pokémon and combining their greatest strengths. Originally known as "Type: Full", the {{a|RKS System}} it was originally built with was intended to allow it to change types in order to adapt to any situation. When the three known models all rejected the RKS system and went berserk, the project was deemed a failure and they were placed into cryogenic stasis. The helmet Type: Null wears was made to stabilize the side-effects of the RKS System's rejection at the expense of suppressing its full power. When it evolves into {{p|Silvally}}, it deliberately destroys its helmet and becomes able to use the RKS System without losing control of itself. Silvally was named by [[Gladion]], according to the Pokédex.
===Magearna===
{{p|Magearna}} was created over 500 years ago by human hands.

===#386 Deoxys===
===Grimer and Muk===
{{p|Deoxys}} is said to be a virus which fell from space while attached to a meteor. Once on Earth, this virus was mutated by accidental exposure to a laser beam which transformed it into a Pokémon. Its DNA remains unstable and it will {{DL|Form differences|Deoxys|mutate further}} when exposed to certain sources of extraterrestrial radiation.

===#412 Burmy and #413 Wormadam===
===Deoxys===
[[File:Wormadam Trash.png|left|thumb|Wormadam donning the Trash Cloak]]
{{p|Deoxys}} is said to be a virus which fell from space while attached to a meteor. Once on Earth, this virus was mutated by accidental exposure to a laser beam which transformed it into a Pokémon. Its DNA remains unstable and it will {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Deoxys|mutate further}} when exposed to certain sources of extraterrestrial radiation.
{{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 insulation as seen in its Trash Cloak. Burmy's cloak will change depending on the location of its last battle.


Female Burmy evolve into {{p|Wormadam}}, which retain the last cloak it had as a Burmy, including the Trash Cloak.

Burmy's cloak will change depending on the location of its last battle.


===#442 Spiritomb===
A female Burmy with the Trash Cloak will evolve into Trash Cloak {{p|Wormadam}}, with the same artificial cloak it had as a Burmy.
 
===Spiritomb===
{{p|Spiritomb}} were once 108 separate entities whose sins caused their spirits to be bound together into the [[Odd Keystone]] as this Pokémon. The Keystones were then separated from the [[Hallowed Tower]], which triggers Spiritomb's release.

===#649 Genesect===
===Yamask===
{{p|Genesect}}, a legendary Pokémon, was a different Pokémon many years ago. However, in Unova, Team Plasma reconstructed it from a Fossil with the goal to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. [[N]] cancelled the project due to his belief that a Pokémon modified by science would lose its pureness. [[P2 Laboratory#Event 2|One scientist]], however, kept working on the project in secrecy, disagreeing with N's decision to cancel it. The scientist equipped Genesect with a metallic body, a cannon behind its head, and items known as [[drive]]s which change the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Techno Blast}}.
{{p|Yamask}} arose from the souls of dead people becoming attached to their respective death masks.
 
===Alolan Rattata and Raticate===
{{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}} in [[Alola]] were booming in population until {{p|Yungoos}} were imported as a control measure. As a result, they changed their habitat, settling in urban areas and becoming nocturnal - which gave it an additional {{type|Dark}} and [[Alolan Form|changed its appearance]]. Due to the new environment, Rattata and Raticate indulged themselves in richer, high-calorie foods, which made Raticate fatter and have puffier cheeks.
 
===Alolan Meowth and Persian ===
{{p|Meowth}} were imported to Alola as a gift to royalty. Due to its pampered and luxurious lifestyle, Meowth grew greedy and selfish, becoming a pure Dark-type and changing its appearance, later becoming feral and more common in the wild after the monarchy in Alola fell and left it living on the streets. Its prideful nature continued upon evolution as a {{p|Persian}} and its distinct and round face is revered by the people of Alola.
 
===Alolan Grimer and Muk===
When Alola became more populated, {{p|Grimer}} were imported to deal with the garbage problem. Upon feeding on Alola's garbage, Grimer changed appearance and gained an additional Dark typing. The continual consumption of toxins also changed the appearance and typing of {{p|Muk}}, whose appetite now extends to anything within reach and has produced a new toxin from the accumulation of waste and manufactured materials.
