Biology
Porygon2 is a rounded, pink, 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 having no advanced technology.
Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the moves Conversion and Conversion 2 .

Other appearances
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.

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.
Was introduced after the generation of its pre-evolved form.
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 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 . 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).
