'''Porygon2''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポリゴン2''' ''Porygon2'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].
'''Porygon2''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポリゴン2''' ''Porygon2'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
 
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Porygon}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding an [[Upgrade]], and evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded while holding a [[Dubious Disc]].


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Porygon}} when [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|traded]] holding an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}}, and evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}.
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for more details.)


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Blue Porygon2 inside computer.png|thumb|150px|left|Porygon2 traveling through cyberspace in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Porygon2 looks very similar to its pre-evolution, except that all of Porygon2's edges have been rounded out. The pattern on its chest has also been significantly rounded out, and it looks very similar to a {{wp|drinking bird}}.
Porygon2 is a rounded, magenta, [[artificial Pokémon|artificial]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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.


====Gender differences====
Porygon2's evolution from {{p|Porygon}} was the result of it being upgraded from the most cutting-edge technology available. It was upgraded to work in space for planetary devolvement reasons, although its inability to fly limits this ability. It is artificially intelligent and capable of learning new behaviors on its own, including information it does not need to know. It can also speak a strange language only other Porygon2 can understand. 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. In ancient [[Hisui]], people were confused about Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives due to them arriving through [[space-time distortion]]s and being the product of far more advanced technology than what was available at the time.
Porygon2 is a genderless species.


===Special abilities===
Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Conversion}} and {{m|Conversion 2}}. Additionally, prior to [[Generation V]] and in [[Generation IX]], Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Download}} as an [[Ability]].
Porygon2 has the same abilities as its pre-evolution, except that Porygon2 is capable of using {{m|Defense Curl}} instead of {{m|Sharpen}}.


Porygon2, and its evolution family, {{p|Porygon}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Conversion}} and {{m|Conversion 2}}.
===Evolution===
Porygon2 evolves from {{p|Porygon}} and evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}}.


Porygon2 has the ability to work in space, due to it not having to breathe. However, it cannot go into space by itself because it cannot fly. This problem seems to have been solved in {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

===Behavior===
{{Evobox-3
Porygon2 have artificial intelligence. However, they occasionally exhibit strange motions and abilities that were not programmed.

===Diet===
|evo1=
{{main|Pokémon food}}
|no2=0233
Being a cybernetic Pokémon, it has no need to eat.

|type1-2=Normal
==In the anime==
|evo2=
Porygon2 is the only [[Generation II]] Pokémon to never appear in the anime, as well as the only pre-[[Generation IV]] Pokémon to not appear in the anime or the movies, not even as a cameo. Popular opinion is that this is because of [[EP038|the incident]] involving {{p|Porygon|its pre-evolution}}. However, Porygon had several cameos.
|no3=0474
 
|name3=Porygon-Z
==In the manga==
|type1-3=Normal}}
{{Special|Green}} bought a {{p|Porygon}} in [[Celadon City]]. In the GSC saga, it evolved into Porygon2.
</div>
 
==In the TCG==
{{main|Porygon2 (TCG)}}
 
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
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.
 
====Trophy information====
Representing the next step in technological progress, this Virtual Pokémon is a higher-powered version of the man-made Pokémon, Porygon. Compared to the sharp edges of its relative, Porygon2's body is extremely smooth and rounded. In battle, it utilizes a special move called Conversion 2 to alter its type.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Porygon2 evolves from Porygon when exposed to an Upgrade, and evolves into Porygon-Z when exposed to a Dubious Disc.

==In the anime==
[[File:Porygon2 M15.png|thumb|250px|Porygon2 in the "World of Pokémon" opening of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'']]
Porygon2 made its unofficial {{pkmn|anime}} debut in the English [[dub]] via stock art in the [[Pokérap GS|Johto Pokérap]].
 
Porygon2's lone physical appearance was in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''{{'}}s "World of Pokémon" opening, which featured every Pokémon from the first five [[generation]]s revealed to that point.
 
Due to [[EP038|the EP038 incident]], Porygon2 has not appeared in an episode of the anime, and it is the only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} not to appear. Along with its evolved form, {{p|Porygon-Z}}, it is also the only Pokémon prior to [[Generation VIII]] that is neither {{pkmn2|Legendary}} nor {{pkmn2|Mythical}} to not appear in an episode of the anime.

{{main|Blue's Porygon2}}
In ''[[PS115|Forretress of Solitude]]'', the [[Pokémon Association]] used a Porygon2 to test {{adv|Red}} to become [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym Leader]].
 
In ''[[PS160|Playful Porygon2]]'', it was revealed that [[Blue's Porygon2|Blue's Porygon]] evolved into Porygon2, as it battled with [[Silver's Weavile|Silver's Sneasel]].
 
In ''[[PS446|Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down]]'', a {{tc|Roughneck}}'s Porygon2 was at the {{safari|Johto}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|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.
 
====Trophy information====
''Representing the next step in technological progress, this Virtual Pokémon is a higher-powered version of the man-made Pokémon, Porygon. Compared to the sharp edges of its relative, Porygon2's body is extremely smooth and rounded. In battle, it utilizes a special move called {{m|Conversion 2}} to alter its type.''
{{right clear}}


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Porygon2 is the only Pokémon with a number in its name.  
* Porygon2 is the only Pokémon with a numeral in its name.
** In the [[Generation II]] games, it is impossible to nickname a Porygon2, if tried it then returns it to its species name. This is because "2" is unavailable as a character for names.
** In the [[Generation II]] games, it is impossible to return a nicknamed Porygon2 to its species name, because numbers are not available for nicknames.
** Porygon2 is also one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
* Porygon2 is the only non-fully [[Evolution|evolved]] Pokémon that evolves into and from another Pokémon by trading.
* It is one of the two Pokémon that's both smaller ''and'' lighter than the Pokémon that it evolves from. The other is {{p|Bellossom}}.
** Furthermore, Porygon2, {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Dipplin}} are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon that evolve from another Pokémon through the use of an [[Evolution item|item]].
** This may be a reference to computers, which tend to get smaller and lighter over time.
* Porygon2 is the only member of its evolutionary family that has not received an {{pkmn|anime}} voice, as {{p|Porygon}}'s voice was heard in [[EP038]] and the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment for ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', and {{p|Porygon-Z}} was given an anime [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voice]] for its appearance in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].
* It is the only Pokémon that both evolves by trading ''and'' needs to be traded to evolve again.
 
* In [[Generation II]], it is possible for Porygon2 to have both effects of the move {{m|Curse}}. One is by simply using it to the non-{{type2|Ghost}} effect of Curse. The other is by using either {{m|Conversion}} or {{m|Conversion 2}} to change its type to Ghost and have the Ghost effect of Curse. The other Pokémon that can do this are {{p|Porygon}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}.
* Of all Pokémon able to evolve, Porygon2 has the highest base stat total with 515.
===Origin===
===Origin===
Like Porygon, it is based on an origami crane made with 3D computer graphics. The head looks like a {{wp|duck}}. It also looks like a {{wp|Drinking Bird}}, especially in {{g|Colosseum}} where it makes the same movement as one. The change in form by evolution from Porygon to Porygon2 represents the concept of {{wp|Subdivision surface|subdivision}} in 3D computer graphics.
Porygon2 seems to be based on a {{wp|bird}} or {{wp|Orizuru|paper crane}} that has been {{wp|rendering (computer graphics)|rendered}} using computer software. The head-tipping motion it displays in some games is reminiscent of a {{wp|drinking bird}} toy. Its rounder body compared to {{p|Porygon}} may represent the concept of {{wp|Subdivision surface|subdivision}} in {{wp|3D computer graphics}}. As an [[Upgrade|upgraded]] version of Porygon, it may also reference {{wp|software versioning}}. The fact that it's lighter than its previous form my be based on {{wp|optimization}}. Its Pokédex entries imply a connection to {{wp|artificial intelligence}} and {{wp|robotic spacecraft}}.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Porygon2's name is a mix between ''{{wp|polygon}}'' and ''{{wp|origami}}''. It may also reflect the fact that some Japanese people pronounce their 'L' sounds as 'R' sounds, Porygon being a mispronunciation of polygon. The 2 on its name is because it is the second in its line of evolution, evolving from {{p|Porygon}}.
Porygon2 is a combination of a corruption of ''{{wp|polygon}}'' and the number ''2'' (since it is the second stage in its evolutionary line).

Porygon2 (Japanese: ポリゴン2 Porygon2) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Porygon when traded while holding an Upgrade, and evolves into Porygon-Z when traded while holding a Dubious Disc.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)

Biology

 
Porygon2 traveling through cyberspace in Pokémon Adventures

Porygon2 is a rounded, magenta, artificial Pokémon that shows similarities to a 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.

Porygon2's evolution from Porygon was the result of it being upgraded from the most cutting-edge technology available. It was upgraded to work in space for planetary devolvement reasons, although its inability to fly limits this ability. It is artificially intelligent and capable of learning new behaviors on its own, including information it does not need to know. It can also speak a strange language only other Porygon2 can understand. 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 other buildings working with people. It can survive in a space vacuum, though cannot move very well in zero gravity. In ancient Hisui, people were confused about Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives due to them arriving through space-time distortions and being the product of far more advanced technology than what was available at the time.

Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the moves Conversion and Conversion 2. Additionally, prior to Generation V and in Generation IX, Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives are the only known Pokémon that could have Download as an Ability.

Evolution data

Porygon2 evolves from Porygon when traded while holding an Upgrade, and evolves into Porygon-Z when traded while holding a Dubious Disc. Porygon cannot evolve into Porygon2 in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen until the player obtains the National Pokédex, as its evolution will be interrupted. Porygon also cannot evolve into Porygon2 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as Porygon2 is not present in those games. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Porygon2 evolves from Porygon when exposed to an Upgrade, and evolves into Porygon-Z when exposed to a Dubious Disc.

In the anime

 
Porygon2 in the "World of Pokémon" opening of Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice

Porygon2 made its unofficial anime debut in the English dub via stock art in the Johto Pokérap.

Porygon2's lone physical appearance was in Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice's "World of Pokémon" opening, which featured every Pokémon from the first five generations revealed to that point.

Due to 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, Porygon-Z, it is also the only Pokémon prior to Generation VIII that is neither Legendary nor Mythical to not appear in an episode of the anime.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Main article: Blue's Porygon2

In Forretress of Solitude, the Pokémon Association used a Porygon2 to test Red to become Viridian City's Gym Leader.

In Playful Porygon2, it was revealed that Blue's Porygon evolved into Porygon2, as it battled with Silver's Sneasel.

In Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down, a Roughneck's Porygon2 was at the Safari Zone.

Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All

A Porygon2 appeared in GDZ56.

Other appearances

 
Porygon2 in Melee

Super Smash Bros. Melee

When released from a Poké Ball, Porygon2 will immediately use a powerful 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.

Trophy information

Representing the next step in technological progress, this Virtual Pokémon is a higher-powered version of the man-made Pokémon, Porygon. Compared to the sharp edges of its relative, Porygon2's body is extremely smooth and rounded. In battle, it utilizes a special move called Conversion 2 to alter its type.

Trivia

  • Porygon2 is the only Pokémon with a numeral in its name.
    • In the Generation II games, it is impossible to return a nicknamed Porygon2 to its species name, because numbers are not available for nicknames.
  • Porygon2 is the only non-fully evolved Pokémon that evolves into and from another Pokémon by trading.
    • Furthermore, Porygon2, Chansey and Dipplin are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon that evolve from another Pokémon through the use of an item.
  • Porygon2 is the only member of its evolutionary family that has not received an anime voice, as Porygon's voice was heard in EP038 and the Who's That Pokémon? segment for A Way Off Day Off, and Porygon-Z was given an anime voice for its appearance in PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure.

Origin

Porygon2 seems to be based on a bird or paper crane that has been rendered using computer software. The head-tipping motion it displays in some games is reminiscent of a drinking bird toy. Its rounder body compared to Porygon may represent the concept of subdivision in 3D computer graphics. As an upgraded version of Porygon, it may also reference software versioning. The fact that it's lighter than its previous form my be based on optimization. Its Pokédex entries imply a connection to artificial intelligence and robotic spacecraft.

Name origin

Porygon2 is a combination of a corruption of polygon and the number 2 (since it is the second stage in its evolutionary line).
