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 via trading while holding an 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

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.

Trivia
- Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon whose Japanese name is spelled with a character from a foreign alphabet.
- Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon to learn Trick Room by level, so far.
- Porygon-Z is the only third stage Pokémon who can be legally obtained at level 1, since neither Porygon nor Porygon2's evolutions require gaining a level.
- Porygon-Z has the highest Special Attack stat in the game excluding legendaries. It shares this title with Alakazam.
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). It is also possible that the "Z" was used as a corruption of "2", due to the fact that Porygon-Z is a glitched version of Porygon2.
