Porygon-Z (Japanese: ポリゴンZ PorygonZ) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It evolves from Porygon2 when traded holding a Dubious Disc. It is the final form of Porygon.
Biology
Although technically a virtual, manmade Pokémon, Porygon-Z does have a physical body. Its head is fuchsia and ovoid in shape with a short, blunt antenna protruding upwards and a blue bill similar to that of a duck. Its eyes are yellow and have black rings, similar to a bulls-eye. The head is completely detached from the body and floats slightly above it. Its smooth, ovoid body is fuchsia with a blue ring connecting its arms. Two arms are loosely connected to its upper body and other than their blue color, have no features. The tail is also blue and featureless, but slightly resembles a paddle.
Porygon-Z was given additional software in order to increase its abilities. The initial idea was to give it the ability to travel through alien dimensions, but an error occurred. Instead, the Pokémon began acting erratically. Porygon-Z, and its pre-evolutions are the only known Pokémon that can learn Conversion and Conversion 2.
In the anime
Porygon-Z in "World of Pokémon"
Porygon-Z's only appearance in the anime was a cameo in the "World of Pokémon" opening of Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice, in which every Pokémon from the first five generations (apart from Genesect) appeared. As was the case with Porygon2, it is currently believed that Porygon-Z will not properly appear and will not be mentioned in the anime as a result of the EP038 incident.
In the manga
In the Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 manga
Io has a Porygon-Z which is her main battler and only known Pokémon. She first used it to attack the Galactic Number 2.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
A Trainer's Porygon-Z appeared in Deprogramming Porygon-Z where it battled with Platinum's Empoleon.

Other appearances
Porygon-Z appears as a trophy.
Trophy information
NA: Porygon is an artificial Pokémon created by humans. Given an Up-Grade, it becomes Porygon2. Then another mod turns it into Porygon-Z. You'd think two upgrades would make Porygon-Z the perfect Pokémon, but actually, the Dubious Disc used to make Porygon2 evolve seems to have introduced some bugs. Maybe a patch is in the works?

Sun
|
In order to create a more advanced Pokémon, an additional program was installed, but apparently it contained a defect that makes it move oddly.
|
Moon
|
Its program was modified to facilitate extra-dimensional activities, but that led to noticeably strange behavior.
|
Ultra Sun
|
Its behavior is noticeably unstable, which is apparently due to the incompetence of the engineer who updated its programming.
|
Ultra Moon
|
A faulty update was added to its programming. Its behavior is noticeably strange, so the experiment may have been a failure.

Trivia
- Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon whose Japanese name is spelled with a character from a foreign alphabet.
- Porygon-Z weighs exactly as much as Dawn. It shares this similarity with Weavile and Alolan Marowak.
- 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.
- Since no leveling up is required to evolve either Porygon or Porygon2, Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon to be evolved twice that can still be level 1.
- Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon that evolves from a Pokémon that evolves via trading while holding an item.
- Porygon-Z is tied with Drampa and Mega Pidgeot for the highest base Special Attack stat of all Normal-type Pokémon.
Origin
Like Porygon and Porygon2, it is based on a bird 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, or maybe a reference to copyrighted software usually being patched by users to use all the features, but often causing bugs in the program.
Name origin
Porygon-Z is a combination of polygon and Z. It may also reflect the stereotype that Japanese people pronounce their 'L' sounds as 'R' sounds, Porygon being a mispronunciation of polygon. Z may 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 last in the Latin alphabet). Alternatively, Z may be a corruption of 2 (as in Porygon2).
