Additional software was installed to make it a better Pokémon. It began acting oddly, however. |
|---|---|
| Platinum | Its programming was modified to enable work in alien dimensions. It did not work as planned. |
| HeartGold SoulSilver |
Its programming was modified to enable it to travel through alien dimensions. Seems there might have been an error... |

| Y Alpha Sapphire |
Its programming was modified to enable it to travel through alien dimensions. Seems there might have been an error... |
| Sun | In order to create a more advanced Pokémon, an additional program was installed, but apparently it contained a defect that makes it move oddly. |
| Moon | Its program was modified to facilitate extra-dimensional activities, but that led to noticeably strange behavior. |
| Ultra Sun | Its behavior is noticeably unstable, which is apparently due to the incompetence of the engineer who updated its programming. |
| Ultra Moon | A faulty update was added to its programming. Its behavior is noticeably strange, so the experiment may have been a failure. |
| Sword | Porygon-Z had a program installed to allow it to move between dimensions, but the program also caused instability in Porygon-Z’s behavior. |
| Shield | Some say an additional program made this Pokémon evolve, but even academics can’t agree on whether Porygon-Z is really an evolution. |
| Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl |
Additional software was installed to make it an even better Pokémon. It began acting oddly, however. |
| Legends: Arceus | A curious item induced this evolution. The Pokémon’s offensive capabilities have greatly increased, but the strangeness of its behavior has magnified in equal measure. This worries me. |
