Appearance

Porygon2 has an appearance similar to that of its pre-evolved form, Porygon, i.e. a bird-shaped red-and blue ornament. Unlike Porygon, Porygon2's design is much smoother, having curved instead of angular surfaces. This may represent the fact that computer and video game graphics are now smoother, not blocky. Porygon2 resembles a toy drinking bird and moves like one in Pokémon Colosseum. Porygon2 also resmbles a methanol molecule.

Porygon2 is supposed to be an improved version of Porygon in every way. It has better statistics, for one, and enhanced abilities. Its artificial intelligence has been developed to such a degree as to give it the capacity to learn on its own from its surroundings and experiences. This results in Porygon2 occasionally exhibiting behavior or motions that were not included in its original programming. Hondas humanoid robot AI redirects here. ...


Porygon2 was originally intended to be used as a space probe. Unfortunately, since it can't even fly, such an application has been abandoned.

As opposed to other evolved Pokémon forms, Porygon2 is 7 inches shorter than Porygon, which is 2 ft 7 in, Porygon2 is 2ft 0 in. Porygon2 also weighs less than Porygon.

Since Porygon2 is tantamount to a computer program, it can be said to be quite user- or Trainer-friendly. It has satisfactory stats, apart from a quite low Speed stat, and learns a wide variety of moves. Its low Speed can be offset by use of Agility or Thunder Wave, while its high Special Attack stat can be exploited by moves such as Thunderbolt, Ice Beam or Psychic. Some defensive techniques to consider are Recover and the unique Conversion2, which changes Porygon2's type to one resistant to the type of the attack last used against it. It is important to note that Porygon2 has the highest Special Attack stat among all of the Normal-types.

In the anime

So far, Porygon2 never appearaed and probably never will appear in the Anime once, most likely a result of Porygon's appearance in Electric Soldier Porygon, an episode banned worldwide after causing seizures.
