===Origin===
Like Porygon, it is based on a bird (possibly an {{wp|Orizuru|origami crane}}) made with more advanced {{wp|3D computer graphics}} software than the first Porygon. The head looks like a {{wp|duck}}. It also resembles a {{wp|drinking bird}}, especially in the 3D games, 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 appears to be based on a {{wp|bird}} or an {{wp|Orizuru|origami crane}} {{wp|rendering (computer graphics)|rendered}} using computer {{wp|software}}. Its smoother form compared to its {{p|Porygon|pre-evolution's}} angular body may represent the concept of {{wp|Subdivision surface|subdivision}} in {{wp|3D computer graphics}}. Its also resembles a {{wp|drinking bird}} due to the head-tipping movements it displays in some games.

Porygon2 is a combination of ''{{wp|polygon}}'' and ''2'', with ''Porygon'' being a corruption of ''polygon''. ''2'' may be a reference to {{wp|software versioning}}, as it is the second "stable release"—an upgraded version—of Porygon.
Porygon2 may be a corruption of ''{{wp|polygon}}'' and the number ''2'', possibly a reference to {{wp|software versioning}} since it can be viewed as an [[Upgrade|upgraded]] version of Porygon.
