Porygon-Z (Japanese: ポリゴンZ PorygonZ) is a Normal-type Pokémon. It evolves from Porygon2. Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon that evolves from a Pokémon that evolves through the use of a Trade Item.

Biology

Physiology

Porygon-Z appears similar to Porygon2, albeit darker in color, and most notably, with its head and body completely upside down, to go along with its status as a glitch. Its legs are attached oddly as well. The blue pattern on a Porygon2's stomach is also different; it now appears as a blue ring on Porygon-Z. Finally, its eyes are large and yellow with rings around the pupils, emphasizing the Pokémon being shocked.

Gender differences

Porygon-Z is genderless.

Special abilities

Behavior

Habitat

Porygon-Z normally live in cyberspace, but they can live absolutely anywhere due to the lack of the need to breathe.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

In the anime

As with Porygon2, it is currently believed that Porygon-Z will not appear in the anime as a result of the Electric Soldier Porygon incident.

In the manga

In the TCG

Trivia

  • Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon whose Japanese name is spelled with a character from a foreign alaphabet.
  • Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon to learn Trick Room by level, so far.

Origin

Like Porygon and Porygon2, it seems to be based on the concept of a bird created by computer graphics software. It is essentially a glitched Porygon2 with some minor differences.

Name origin

Its name is a misspelling of polygon. The "Z" could either refer to the Z axis in 3D coordination systems or that Porygon-Z is the last of its evolutionary line (since the letter Z is the last letter of the Latin alphabet).
