Pokemon Go: How to evolve Porygon 2 into Porygon-Z

Pokemon Sword and Shield Porygon Z

Porygon-Z is the pure Normal-type final evolution of the Gen-1 Virtual Pokemon Porygon, but what does it take to get Porygon-Z in Pokemon Go? Do you need any extra items or just candy?

Fortunately enough, these are pretty easy questions to answer, so let’s get into it.

How to get Porygon-Z in Pokemon Go

Getting Porygon-Z is one of the easier restricted evolutions in Pokemon Go, you just need to start off by getting plenty of either Porygon2 or Porygon for the candy – as you’ll need 100 of it, or 125 if starting from Porygon instead. Of course, you wouldn’t be reading this right now if that was all this evolution needed.

With the candy sorted, you’ll also need a mandatory evolution item you might already be familiar with; a Sinnoh Stone. Let’s talk about those next.

Sinnoh stones are fairly annoying items to get ahold of. Your best bet for finding them is typically claiming research breakthroughs or completing trainer battles, which means it’s a real problem for players who don’t actively PVP. You might also be able to find one through limited-time research or rare tasks, so keep an eye out.

When you’ve found yourself a Sinnoh Stone, make sure to check out the link above to be certain you want to use it for Porygon-Z – there are quite a few Pokemon who need these items to evolve.

Once you’ve decided you’re sure you want Porygon-Z, go ahead and hit that Evolve button and you’re done here. Just make sure to check what else a Sinnoh Stone can get you, as it’s quite the list.
