Porygon2 (Japanese: ポリゴン2 Porygon2) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from Porygon when traded while holding an Upgrade (from Generations II to VII, Sword and Shield, and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl) or when exposed to an Upgrade (Legends: Arceus), and evolves into Porygon-Z when traded while holding a Dubious Disc (from Generations IV to VII, Sword and Shield, and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl) or when exposed to a Dubious Disc (Legends: Arceus).
Biology
Porygon2 traveling through cyberspace in the
manga
Porygon2 is a rounded, pink, digital 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. Porygon2 and its evolutionary family, Porygon and Porygon-Z, are the only known Pokémon that learn Conversion and Conversion 2.
In the anime
Porygon2 made its unofficial anime debut in the English dub via stock art in the Johto Pokérap.
Porygon2's lone physical appearance was in Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice's "World of Pokémon" opening, which featured every Pokémon from the first five generations revealed to that point.
Due to the EP038 incident, Porygon2 has not appeared in an episode of the anime, and it is the only Generation II Pokémon not to appear. Along with its evolved form, Porygon-Z, it is also the only Pokémon prior to Generation VIII that is neither Legendary nor Mythical to not appear in an episode of the anime.

Other appearances

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 the digit characters 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 may be a corruption of polygon and the number 2 (since it is the second stage in its evolutionary line).
