Appearance

PorygonZ's appearance is similar to that of Porygon and Porygon2, which were supposedly earlier designs by Silph Co.. This Pokémon also has a more agile appearance; it is slimmer, and its "legs" from Porygon2 evolved into "wings". Its tail is below the body, unlike from the back, like the forms before it. Its neck seems to have disappeared as well (compare with Dynamite Headdy or Rayman). Its eyes are also decidedly different from its previous two forms. It appears to have an antenna too. It has a shape that resembles either a satelite, or a humming bird.

In the video games

It has been confirmed that wild Porygon are available in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Thus, by trading with the Up-Grade item, it becomes Porygon2. Trading Porygon2 with the Eerie Patch results in PorygonZ. This makes it the first Pokémon to evolve twice by trade. It also has the highest Special Attack stat of the Normal type and of any non-legendary (tied with Alakazam), respectively, inherited from its pre-evolution. Its speed is also improved significantly. Although its defenses have been decreased, it can outrun anything that posses a threat to it (almost every fighting pokemon). Its abilities are Download and Adaptive; the former raises either PorygonZ's Attack or Special Attack, depending on the foes defensive stats, and the latter boost all same type attacks (a second STAB if you will). Also due to the fact that Hyper Beam and Tri Attack are special attacks makes it a deadly special sweeper in the D/P metagame.

In the anime

It is expected that PorygonZ will not appear in the anime, following the tradition of Porygon2.

Pokédex information

Although programing was added in order to make it surpass all other Pokémon, it began to have strange behaviors.
