It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Porygon2}} when [[trade]]d holding an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}}, which evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}.

Porygon is a Pokémon made completely out of programming code. It has a pink polyhedral body with a blue stomach, blue triangular prism feet, and a blue rectangular prism tail. It has a pink, polyhedral head that ends in a blue beak and has hexagonal eyes. Built into this code is [[Silph Co.]] copy protection [[wp: Digital Rights Management|DRM]], preventing duplication through electronic means. Due to its man-made origins, Porygon does not need to breathe or eat, though it can still accept food if given.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===

Porygon made its only major anime appearance in [[EP038]], where two specimens created by [[Dr. Akihabara]] appeared, [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio#Porygon Zero|one]] of which was stolen by {{TRT}}, the other borrowed by {{Ash}}. Both were left behind at Dr. Akihabara's house at the end of the episode.

It most recently appeared alongside its evolutions and all pre-Generation VI Pokémon besides {{p|Genesect}} in the opening to the [[M15|fifteenth movie]].

===Evolution===

* 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 leveling up to trigger any of its evolutions (i.e. it is possible to acquire a Porygon-Z at Lv.1).

* 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.
