Special abilities
Behavior
Habitat
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
Porygon is completely artificial and doesn't need to eat.
In the anime
Porygon has only appeared in the scandal episode, Electric Soldier Porygon. This episode caused seizures to hundreds of children in Japan due to a flashing strobe effect, and was therefore never aired again anywhere in the world.
Other appearances
Porygon is a Pokéfloat. When the fighting is on Slowpoke's tail, three will travel across the top of the screen. However, they move too quickly to land on and so are little more than decoration in practice.
