Read more ↓Porygon, the Virtual Pokémon, is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is unique as the first Pokémon created entirely by humans through computer programming. Porygon is a digital entity capable of moving freely through cyberspace, often depicted as a somewhat blocky, geometric bird-like creature with a distinct pink and blue color scheme. Its natural habitat is not a physical location but rather the digital realms of computers and networks. Porygon does not require food or water in the traditional sense, subsisting on data and information. It is known for its ability to revert to program data, allowing it to move unnoticed through electronic spaces. Porygon evolves into Porygon2 when traded holding an Up-Grade, and further into Porygon-Z when traded holding a Dubious Disc. As a Normal type, Porygon has a single weakness to Fighting-type moves and no resistances, while being immune to Ghost-type attacks in the main series games. In the anime, Porygon was central to a controversial episode that led to its effective ban from future appearances, limiting its role despite its intriguing concept. Its unique origin and digital nature make it a fascinating subject within the Pokémon universe, representing the intersection of technology and life.
