'''Porygon2''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポリゴン2''' ''Porygon2'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].


=Biology=
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Porygon}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] while holding an [[Upgrade]], and evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded while holding a [[Dubious Disc]].
==Physiology==
Porygon2 looks very similar to its pre-evolution, except that all of Porygon2's edges have been rounded out.
===Gender differences===
Porygon2 is a genderless species.


===Special abilities===
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for more details.)
Porygon2 has the same abilities as its pre-evolution, except that Porygon2 is capable of using {{m|Defense Curl}} instead of {{m|Sharpen}}.


Porygon2, and its evolution family, {{p|Porygon}}, and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Conversion}} and {{m|Conversion2}}.
==Biology==
[[File:Blue Porygon2 inside computer.png|thumb|150px|left|Porygon2 traveling through cyberspace in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Porygon2 is a rounded, magenta, [[artificial Pokémon|artificial]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that shows similarities to a {{wp|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.


==Behavior==
Porygon2's evolution from {{p|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 {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|other buildings}} working with people. It can survive in a space vacuum, though cannot move very well in zero gravity. In ancient [[Hisui]], people were confused about Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives due to them arriving through [[space-time distortion]]s and being the product of far more advanced technology than what was available at the time.
==Habitat==
[[Image:Urban.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]


==Diet==
Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Conversion}} and {{m|Conversion 2}}. Additionally, prior to [[Generation V]] and in [[Generation IX]], Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Download}} as an [[Ability]].
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''


=In the anime=
===Evolution===
Porygon2 is the only [[Generation II]] Pokémon to never appear in the anime. Popular opinion is that this is because of the incident involving ''[[EP038|Electric Soldier Porygon]]''.
Porygon2 evolves from {{p|Porygon}} and evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}}.


=In the manga=
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
{{Special|Green}} bought a {{p|Porygon}} in [[Celadon City]]. In the GSC saga, it evolved into Porygon2.

When released from a Poké Ball, Porygon2 will immediately use a powerful {{m|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.

Porygon2 [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Porygon}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] while holding an [[Upgrade]], and evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded while holding a [[Dubious Disc]]. Porygon cannot evolve into Porygon2 in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} until the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its evolution will be interrupted. Porygon also cannot evolve into Porygon2 in {{LGPE}}, as Porygon2 is not present in those games. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Porygon2 evolves from Porygon when exposed to an Upgrade, and evolves into Porygon-Z when exposed to a Dubious Disc.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Porygon2 will immediately use a powerful {{m|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 {{m|Conversion 2}} to alter its type.''
{{right clear}}


=Trivia=
==Trivia==
* This is the only Pokémon with a numerical figure in its name.
* Porygon2 is the only Pokémon with a numeral in its name.
* Porygon2 is the only [[Generation II]] Pokémon never to appear in the anime, which might have something to do with the [[EP038]] incident.
** In the [[Generation II]] games, it is impossible to return a nicknamed Porygon2 to its species name, because numbers are not available for nicknames.
* This Pokémon has a cry very similar to {{p|Girafarig}}, with the difference being Porygon 2's cry is higher pitched.  
* Porygon2 is the only non-fully [[Evolution|evolved]] Pokémon that evolves into and from another Pokémon by trading.
* It is one of the two Pokémon that's both smaller ''and'' lighter than the Pokémon that it evolves from.  The other is {{p|Bellossom}}. This could be a reference to technology getting smaller and lighter as time goes on.
** Furthermore, Porygon2, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Dipplin}} are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon that evolve from another Pokémon through the use of an [[Evolution item|item]].
* Porygon2 is the only member of its evolutionary line that has not received an {{pkmn|anime}} voice, as {{p|Porygon}}'s voice was heard in [[EP038]] and the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment for ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', and {{p|Porygon-Z}} was given an anime [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voice]] for its appearance in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].


==Origin==
===Origin===
Like Porygon, it is based on an origami crane made with 3D computer graphics. The change in form by evolution from Porygon to Porygon2 represents the concept of [[wp:Subdivision_surface|subdivision]] in 3D computer graphics.
Porygon2 seems to be based on a {{wp|bird}} or {{wp|Orizuru|paper crane}} that has been {{wp|rendering (computer graphics)|rendered}} using computer software. The head-tipping motion it displays in some games is reminiscent of a {{wp|drinking bird}} toy. Its rounder body compared to {{p|Porygon}} may represent the concept of {{wp|Subdivision surface|subdivision}} in {{wp|3D computer graphics}}. As an [[Upgrade|upgraded]] version of Porygon, it may also reference {{wp|software versioning}}. The fact that it's lighter than its previous form my be based on {{wp|optimization}}. Its Pokédex entries imply a connection to {{wp|artificial intelligence}} and {{wp|robotic spacecraft}}.
===Name origin===
Porygon2's name is a mix between ''[[wp:polygon|polygon]]'' and ''[[wp:origami|origami]]''. It may also reflect the stereotype that Japanese people pronounce their 'L' sounds as 'R' sounds, Porygon being a mispronunciation of polygon. The 2 on its name is because it is the second in its line of evolution, evolving from {{p|Porygon}}.


====Name origin====
Porygon2 is a combination of a corruption of ''{{wp|polygon}}'' and the number ''2'' (since it is the second stage in its evolutionary line).

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, and evolves into Porygon-Z when traded while holding a Dubious Disc.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)

Biology

Porygon2 traveling through cyberspace in Pokémon Adventures

Porygon2 is a rounded, magenta, artificial 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. In ancient Hisui, people were confused about Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives due to them arriving through space-time distortions and being the product of far more advanced technology than what was available at the time.

Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the moves Conversion and Conversion 2. Additionally, prior to Generation V and in Generation IX, Porygon2 and its evolutionary relatives are the only known Pokémon that could have Download as an Ability.

Evolution

Porygon2 evolves from Porygon and evolves into Porygon-Z.

Evolution data

Porygon2 evolves from Porygon when traded while holding an Upgrade, and evolves into Porygon-Z when traded while holding a Dubious Disc. Porygon cannot evolve into Porygon2 in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen until the player obtains the National Pokédex, as its evolution will be interrupted. Porygon also cannot evolve into Porygon2 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as Porygon2 is not present in those games. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Porygon2 evolves from Porygon when exposed to an Upgrade, and evolves into Porygon-Z when exposed to a Dubious Disc.

In the anime

Porygon2 in the Pokérap GS
Porygon2 in the "World of Pokémon" opening of Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice

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.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Main article: Blue's Porygon2

In Forretress of Solitude, the Pokémon Association used a Porygon2 to test Red to become Viridian City's Gym Leader.

In Playful Porygon2, it was revealed that Blue's Porygon evolved into Porygon2, as it battled with Silver's Sneasel.

In Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down, a Roughneck's Porygon2 was at the Safari Zone.

Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!

A Porygon2 appeared in GDZ56.

A Porygon2 appeared in Pokémon HeartGold SoulSilver: Pokédex Completion Comic.

In the TCG

Main article: Porygon2 (TCG)

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.

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 numbers are not available for nicknames.
  • Porygon2 is the only non-fully evolved Pokémon that evolves into and from another Pokémon by trading.
    • Furthermore, Porygon2, Chansey, and Dipplin are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon that evolve from another Pokémon through the use of an item.
  • Porygon2 is the only member of its evolutionary line that has not received an anime voice, as Porygon's voice was heard in EP038 and the Who's That Pokémon? segment for A Way Off Day Off, 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.
