Porygon-Z (Japanese: ポリゴンZ PorygonZ) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Porygon2 when traded holding a Dubious Disc. It is the final evolution of Porygon.
Biology
Physiology
Porygon-Z is a modification of Porygon2. Porygon-Z appears similar to Porygon2, albeit darker in color. Most notably, its head is detached from the body and upside down, much like Porygon's legs, with no visible neck and yellow eyes with a dartboard pattern. Its bill is more round, and doesn't curve down as it did in its Porygon2 stage. Its legs are now wing-like, and its posture resembles that of a hummingbird. The tail is a little plumper, with the blue pattern on its chest no longer being isolated and now connecting to its legs/wings.
Gender differences
Porygon-Z is a genderless species.
Special abilities
Porygon-Z, and its pre-evolved forms, Porygon, and Porygon2, are the only known Pokémon that can learn Conversion and Conversion 2.
Porygon-Z has significantly higher Special Attack power than Porygon2 and is slightly faster. However, Porygon-Z also has weaker defenses.
Behavior
Being a cybernetic Pokémon, it exhibits the behavior that was programmed into it as a Porygon. However, it may also display emotions and some erratic behavior that was not a part of its programming. Porygon-Z can sometimes be seen shaking rapidly for a short time. Whether this is intentional or a glitch is unknown.
Habitat
Porygon-Z normally live in cyberspace, but they can live practically anywhere due to the lack of the need to breathe.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Since it is a virtual Pokémon, it has no need to eat.
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, except possibly as a brief cameo. It is currently the only Generation IV Pokémon that has not appeared in the movies or anime yet.

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 that can learn Trick Room by leveling up.
- Porygon-Z shares the highest Special Attack stat of all non-legendary Pokémon with Alakazam.
- This also means that Porygon-Z has the highest Special Attack of all Normal-type Pokémon.
- Porygon-Z weighs exactly as much as Dawn .
- The Dubious Disc's name implies that Porygon-Z, unlike its pre-evolution, was not authorized by Silph Co.
- Porygon-Z's pre-evolutions have their own signature Conversion move, but no new Conversion-style move was made for Porygon-Z.
- Porygon-Z is one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂, Farfetch'd, Mr. Mime, Porygon2, Ho-Oh and Mime Jr.
- Since no leveling up is required to evolve Porygon-Z, Porygon-Z is one of two fully evolved three-stage Pokémon capable of legitimately being level 1 (Roserade being the other), and the only one that can't skip its fully unevolved form.
- Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon that evolves from a Pokémon that evolves via trading while holding an item. It is also the only Pokémon who evolves from a Pokémon who already evolved from methods other than leveling up (not including evolutionary lines where baby Pokémon are the first stage).
- Porygon-Z only has 20 more total base stats than Porygon2. Porygon-Z has 30 more points in Special Attack and Speed, but 20 less in Defense and Special Defense.
Origin
Like Porygon and Porygon2, it is based on an origami crane made with 3D computer graphics. Its appearance with respect to Porygon2, as well as its unprogrammed behaviors, suggest that it may be based on the concept of a computer virus having infected Porygon2.
Name origin
Porygon-Z'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 "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.
