Porygon2 (Japanese: ポリゴン2 Porygon2) is a Normal-type Pokémon. It evolves from Porygon.

Biology

Porygon2 is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Porygon2 has the same abilities as its pre-evolution, except that Porygon2 is capable of using Defense Curl instead of Sharpen.

Behavior

Habitat

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

In the anime

Porygon2 is the only Generation II Pokémon to never appear in the anime. Popular opinion is that this is because of the incident involving Electric Soldier Porygon.

In the manga

Green bought a Porygon in Celadon City. In the GSC saga, it evolved into Porygon2.

In the TCG

Main article: Porygon2 (TCG)

Other appearances

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 progess, 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

  • This is the only Pokémon with a numerical figure 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.
  • This Pokémon has a cry very similar to Girafarig, with the difference being Porygon 2's cry is higher pitched.
  • It is one of the two Pokémon that's both smaller and lighter than the Pokémon that it evolves from. The other is Bellossom. This could be a reference to technology getting smaller and lighter as time goes on.

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 subdivision in 3D computer graphics.

Name origin

Porygon2's name is a mix between polygon and 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 Porygon.
