Porygon2 is a rounded, pink, digital Pokémon that shows similarities to a {{wp|drinking bird}}. It has a relatively flat bill and large, round eyes. Its legs are simple ovoid growths along its sides, and its tail widens towards the middle. Its bill, legs, tail, and underside are blue. It was upgraded to work in space, although its inability to fly limits this ability. It is artificially intelligent, and is capable of learning new behaviors on its own. As a result, it will sometimes perform motions or abilities that are not in its programming. It is generally found in computers or in labs and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|other buildings}} working with people. Porygon2 and its evolutionary family, {{p|Porygon}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Conversion}} and {{m|Conversion 2}}.

It was upgraded to work in space, although its inability to fly limits this ability. It is artificially intelligent, and is capable of learning new behaviors on its own, including information it does not need to know. As a result, it will sometimes perform motions or abilities that are not in its programming. It is generally found in computers or in labs and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|other buildings}} working with people. It can survive in a space vacuum, though cannot move very well in zero-gravity. Porygon2 and its evolutionary family, {{p|Porygon}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Conversion}} and {{m|Conversion 2}}.

Porygon2 appeared in the English dub as stockart in the [[Pokérap GS|Johto Pokérap]]. Porygon2's second appearance in the anime has been a cameo in the "World of Pokémon" opening of [[M15|''Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice'']], in which every Pokémon from the first five [[generation]]s (apart from {{p|Genesect}}) appeared. Due to [[EP038|the EP038 incident]], Porygon2 has not appeared in an episode of the anime, and it is the only [[Generation II]] Pokémon not to appear. Along with its evolved form, {{p|Porygon-Z}}, it is also the only Pokémon from prior to [[Generation VII]] that is neither Legendary nor Mythical to not appear in an episode of the anime.

When released from a Poké Ball, Porygon2 will immediately use a powerful {{m|Tackle}} attack that sends opponents flying. The attack cannot be escaped due to the speed in which it happens but Porygon2 is harmless once the attack has finished.

Porygon2 is a combination of ''{{wp|polygon}}'' and ''2''. It may also reflect the stereotype that Japanese people pronounce their 'L' sounds as 'R' sounds, Porygon being a mispronunciation of polygon. ''2'' may be a reference to {{wp|software versioning}}, as it is the second "stable release"—an upgraded version—of {{p|Porygon}}.
