Overview

Silph Co. refused to acknowledge the existence of Porygon-Z for many years until their notoriety became too great to bear. Porygon-Z are obtained by upgrading the software of Porygon2 with Dubious Discs; as their names suggest, the discs have rather questionable origins. While no one is exactly sure who created the items, rumors suggest that it was the same group of hackers that had purportedly cracked Silph Co.’s improved DRM on Porygon2. Porygon-Z are thought to have been planned to be capable of interdimensional travel, for reasons unknown due to the lack of information regarding their creators. However, they failed in that regard (at least, the version available to the public did). Instead, they are far more powerful than Porygon2 at the cost of their stability. Porygon-Z are frailer and notably more glitchy. Their movements are highly erratic due to the numerous bugs in their programming, likely due to the haphazard nature of their creation. While Silph Co. remains adamant that Porygon-Z are unauthorized updates, it has ceased attempts to take action against them or their owners.
