Porygon (ポリゴン, Porygon) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.

In Super Smash Bros.

As a stage element

Porygon is one of the five Pokémon which come out of the central building in Saffron City to perform an attack. It lunges out very quickly, dealing 18% damage upon its appearance and 8% damage thereafter.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

As a stage element

A giant balloon of Porygon (in actuality, the 3D model of Porygon used in Pokémon Stadium for Nintendo 64) is one of the many floating and bending "platforms" that make the Poké Floats stage.

Origin

Porygon is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I of the Pokémon games. In these games, it could only be obtained by purchasing it at the Celadon Game Corner. In Generation II, it gained an evolution, Porygon2, which it evolves into when traded holding an Up-Grade. In Generation IV, it gained yet another evolution, Porygon-Z, which it evolves into when traded holding a Dubious Disc. This makes it the only Pokémon that needs to be traded twice to reach it's final evolution.

Tackle is a Normal-type move with 50 base power and 100% accuracy (35 and 95% before Generation V) and no added effects. It is a very basic move which consist in a simple charge against a single opponent, and it is part of the starting moveset of many Pokémon, including Porygon, in all games.

The Pokémon was infamous for appearing in a banned episode involving flashing lights leading to seizures, which is why Porygon and its evolutions were never shown in the anime ever since.
