What does "Evolves from Porygon" mean on the card?

This indicates that Porygon2 is a Stage 1 Pokémon and can only be played by placing it on a Porygon card that is already in play. It cannot be played directly onto the Bench or Active Spot.

How does the "Garbage Attack" work if I don't have any Pokémon Tool cards in the Lost Zone?

If there are no Pokémon Tool cards in the Lost Zone (neither yours nor your opponent's), then the attack will do 0 damage, as 20 multiplied by 0 equals 0.

Is Porygon2 a basic or evolved Pokémon?

Porygon2 is a Stage 1 Pokémon, meaning it is an evolved form. It evolves from the Basic Pokémon Porygon.

What is the Lost Zone mentioned in the attack?

Porygon2 is a Normal-type Virtual Pokémon, a marvel of digital engineering and a significant step in the evolution of artificial intelligence within the Pokémon world. Introduced in Generation II, Porygon2 is the evolved form of Porygon, a Pokémon created entirely from programming code. Its design, reminiscent of a duck or a swan with a simplified, geometric aesthetic, reflects its synthetic origins. Unlike its predecessor, Porygon2 possesses enhanced artificial intelligence, allowing it to learn and adapt on its own, processing information from its surroundings to develop new behaviors and understanding. While it doesn't have a natural habitat in the traditional sense, it is often found in laboratories or highly technological environments where it was created or is being studied. It doesn't consume food in the biological way, instead requiring energy to maintain its complex programming. Porygon2's behavior is characterized by its curiosity and desire to learn, often mimicking movements and sounds it observes. In the games, Porygon2 is a versatile Pokémon, often used for its strong Special Attack and Special Defense stats, and its ability to learn a wide array of moves. In the anime, Porygon2, like Porygon, has had limited appearances due to controversies surrounding early episodes, but its concept remains a fascinating exploration of technology and life. Its evolution, Porygon-Z, further pushes the boundaries of AI, often to chaotic and unpredictable results. Porygon2 represents the potential and challenges of advanced technology in the Pokémon universe, making it a culturally significant Pokémon for fans interested in the intersection of nature and digital innovation.
