Porygon2 (Japanese: ポリゴン２ Porygon2) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Porygon when traded holding an Up-Grade and evolves into Porygon-Z when traded holding a Dubious Disc.

Biology

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.

It was upgraded to work in space, although its inability to fly limits this ability. It is artificially intelligent, and is capable of learning new behaviors on its own, including information it does not need to know. 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 as stock-art in the Johto Pokérap.

Porygon2's lone physical appearance was in Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice. It made a cameo in the "World of Pokémon" opening, in which every Pokémon from the first five generations (apart from Genesect) appeared.

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 VII that is neither Legendary nor Mythical to not appear in an episode of the anime.

Main article: Blue's Porygon2

Porygon2 debuted in Forretress of Solitude, under the ownership of the Pokémon Association. It was used to test Red to become Viridian City's Gym Leader.

Blue bought a Porygon in Celadon City, which was quite disobedient to its new Trainer, but became an integral part of his team later. Prior to Playful Porygon2, it evolved into Porygon2 and battled with Silver's Sneasel. It again appeared in the FireRed & LeafGreen arc, where its ability to integrate itself into any electronic network proved handy in freeing Professor Oak and Green's parents.

A Porygon2 appeared in Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down, under the ownership of a Roughneck at the Safari Zone.

Other appearances

Porygon2 in Melee

Super Smash Bros. Melee

When released from a Poké Ball, Porygon2 will immediately use a powerful Tackle attack that sends opponents flying. The attack cannot be escaped due to the speed in which it happens but Porygon2 is harmless once the attack has finished.

Trophy information

Representing the next step in technological progress, this Virtual Pokémon is a higher-powered version of the man-made Pokémon, Porygon. Compared to the sharp edges of its relative, Porygon2's body is extremely smooth and rounded. In battle, it utilizes a special move called Conversion 2 to alter its type.
