Pokemon GO is hosting a Porygon Community Day Classic event on Saturday, January 20, 2024. Here’s everything you need to know about catching and evolving Porygon, one of the rarest and most unique Pokemon in the game.
How to Catch Shiny Porygon
During the event, Porygon will be appearing more often in the wild, and lucky players might even encounter its shiny form, which has a different color scheme. Shiny Porygon is a rare and coveted Pokemon, so be sure to catch as many as you can. You can also use Lure Modules and Incense to attract more Porygon to your location.
How to Evolve Porygon into Porygon-Z
Players who evolve Porygon into Porygon2 and then into Porygon-Z during the event or up to two hours after will get a Porygon-Z that knows the charged move Tri Attack, a powerful attack that has a chance of lowering the opponent’s stats.
To evolve Porygon, you will need an Upgrade and 25 Porygon candies. To evolve Porygon2, you will need a Sinnoh Stone and 100 Porygon candies. You can get Upgrades and Sinnoh Stones by completing the Special Research story, which can be purchased for US$1.00, or by doing Field Research tasks.
