Porygon is an {{pkmn2|artificial}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} made completely out of programming code. It has a pink, polyhedral head that ends in a blue beak and has hexagonal eyes, and it has a pink polyhedral body with a blue front, blue triangular prism feet, and a blue rectangular prism tail. In 3D games, such as {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, it can open its beak and can detach its limbs and head from its torso. According to its [[Pokédex]] entries, it has copy protection built into its code, preventing duplication through electronic means. It was created [[History of the Pokémon world#Recent history|in 1995]] by [[Silph Co.]],<ref>[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]</ref> however documents at Silph Co. claim it was created at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]] using the state-of-the-art technology of its time.

Due to its man-made origins, Porygon does not need to breathe or eat, though it can still accept food if given. It has the ability to convert its body into digital data, allowing it to travel through cyberspace. Recently, it has become more helpful inside cyberspace by searching for any suspicious data that exists. Some believed Porygon has the power to potentially travel in space despite the species not displaying that ability yet. Because it is man-made, it is generally found in computers or in labs and other {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|buildings}} where people work. | Due to its man-made origins, Porygon does not need to breathe or eat, though it can still accept food if given.

Porygon's only appearance in Melee is that of a Poké Float. When the fighting is on {{p|Slowpoke}}'s tail, three will travel across the top of the screen. However, they move too quickly to land on and so are little more than decoration in practice. | Porygon's only appearance in Melee is that of a Poké Float.
