Biology

Porygon2 is the evolution of Porygon. Due to the incorporation of artificial intelligence, the Pokémon can develop itself on its own by learning about different subjects. It can even communicate in a secret language only other Porygon2 can understand. It can evolve into Porygon-Z.

Design & origin

Porygon2 is based on a man-made higher polygon recreation of a duck, acting as an upgrade of the low poly Porygon. Its name derives from the word "polygon". In the Spaceworld demo leak, Porygon2 initially had the appearance of a lion instead of a duck.
