** Porygon is the only Pokémon that can be evolved twice at level 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]] and [[M05|fifth]] movies and re-runs using the [[Pokérap]].

* 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}}.
