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

Biology

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.

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 Porygon in EP038, でんのうせんしポリゴン (Computer Soldier Porygon).

In the manga

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

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

When released from a Pokéball, 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

Porygon2 is the only Pokémon with a numerical figure in its name.

Origin

Like Porygon, it is based on a bird-like creature created using 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 origin is rather straightforward. It is the second in its line of evolution, evolving from Porygon. Thus, it is the second Porygon, whose name is a misspelling of polygon.

In other languages

• German: Porygon2
• French: Porygon2
• Korean: 폴리곤2 Polligon2
