 * Porygon is the only Pokémon that evolves by trade twice: Once holding the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}} into {{p|Porygon2}}, and a second time (as Porygon2) into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}.  It is also the only Pokémon in a [[:Category:Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|three-stage evolutionary line]] that does not require levelling up to trigger any of its evolutions (i.e. it is possible to acquire a Porygon-Z at Lv.1) .
 * [[EP038]], which featured Porygon, caused seizures and irritated eyes. It was not Porygon itself, but {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which caused the problematic blue and red flash - even so, none of Porygon's evolutions have had any appearance in the anime since, except for the intro of the [[M04|fourth]], [[M05|fifth]] and [[M15|fifteenth]] movies and re-runs using the [[Pokérap]].
-* Porygon is the only Pokémon who evolves into a smaller Pokémon and then evolves into a larger Pokémon.
 * Porygon's evolutionary line is the only three-stage evolutionary line whose members can all learn both {{m|Giga Impact}} and {{m|Hyper Beam}}, as all three were considered fully-evolved during their respective debut generations.
-* Prior to [[Generation V]], the Porygon family had three [[signature move]]s, along with {{p|Vespiquen}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation I}}, and the {{p|Cubone}} family{{tt|*|Prior to Generation IV}}, the most out of all Pokémon.
 * In [[Generation II]], it is possible for Porygon to use both effects of the move {{m|Curse}}. Simply using the move would cause Curse's effect for non-{{t|Ghost}} types. Using either {{m|Conversion}} or {{m|Conversion 2}} could change Porygon's type to Ghost and cause Curse to have its effect for Ghost types. This is also possible for {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Smeargle}}.
-* Porygon is one of five Pokémon that initially did not evolve into or from another Pokémon, but is now part of a three-stage evolutionary line, the other four being {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Magmar}}, {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Roselia}}. However, unlike the others, Porygon received two evolutions, while the others got a pre-evolution and a new evolution.
-* Despite being an unevolved Pokémon which can evolve twice, Porygon has a higher base stat total than {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Beautifly}} and {{p|Dustox}}, final form Pokémon which have evolved twice.
 * In the 3D games, Porygon's animation reveals that it can detach its limbs and head when necessary. It can be seen thrusting its head forward until it breaks off for a brief second.
 ** In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and {{g|Snap}}, it is shown that Porygon can make itself transparent or camouflaged. It cannot learn the move {{m|Camouflage}}, however.
 * Despite being man-made, composed of only computer data, Porygon can be hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}}.
-* Despite Porygon and its evolutions being able to float, it does not possess the {{a|Levitate}} Ability; it can, however, learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}.
 * Porygon is heavier than both of its evolutions, possibly referencing how new technological devices have become lighter than old ones.
