Porygon (Japanese: ポリゴン Porygon) is a Normal-type Pokémon best known for its ability to change shape at will to fit its needs, shared only with Ditto.

Biology

Physiology

Porygon is the first artificial Pokémon that was ever created. Porygon has a pink polygonal body with a blue stomach, blue triangular prism feet and a blue rectangular prism tail. Porygon has pink, polygonal head that ends in a blue beak and has hexagon eyes. Porygon is made completely out of programming code.

Gender differences

Porygon is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Behavior

Habitat

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Porygon is completely artificial and doesn't need to eat.

In the anime

Porygon has only appeared in the scandal episode, Electric Soldier Porygon. This episode caused seizures to hundreds of children in Japan due to a flashing strobe effect, and was therefore never aired again anywhere in the world.

Other appearances

Super Smash Brothers

Porygon pops out of a garage door on top of a building in the Saffron City stage.

Super Smash Brothers Melee

Porygon is a Pokéfloat. When the fighting is on 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.

Trivia

  • Porygon is the only Pokémon that evolves by trade twice: Once holding the Up-Grade into Porygon2, and a second time (as Porygon2) into Porygon-Z when holding a Dubious Disc.
  • EP038, which featured Porygon, caused seizures and irritated eyes. It was not Porygon itself, but Pikachu's Thunderbolt which caused the problematic blue and red flash - even so, neither Porygon nor its evolutions have been seen in the anime since.
  • Porygon is the only Pokémon who evolves into a smaller Pokémon, then evolves into a larger Pokémon

Origin

It appears to be based on the concept of an image of a bird made with primitive 3D graphics software.

Name origin

Porygon's name is a corruption of polygon.
