For fans of the artificial Pokemon, you'll definitely want to have Porygon on your Pokopia island.

But having this Pokemon appear is no easy feat. You'll need to make a specific habitat to attract it, and the pieces in their habitat can be pretty difficult to get. But don't worry, we'll teach you how to befriend Porygon.

Here's everything you need to know about getting Porygon in Pokemon Pokopia.

How to Find Porygon in Pokemon Pokopia

Porygon is usually found in Sparkling Skyland. To attract it, you will need to build the Researcher's Desk habitat.

A character stands in front of a computer displaying a pink, digital Pokémon named Porygon, beside a small house and lit street lamp at dusk. Subtitled text reads, “Porygon: Jagjag. Hmmm? This place. Where am I?” Nearby, two small Pokémon and a table with a toy can be seen.

The Researcher's Desk habitat requires the following items:

  • 2 Tables
  • 1 Computer (working)
  • 1 Science Experiment

While there aren't many items needed for the habitat, getting the Computer and Science Experiment will take some work. You'll need to explore Sparkling Skylands, where both items will be hidden inside abandoned buildings or broken scaffolding. These items spawn randomly and can appear in other islands, such as Rocky Ridges. So, don't be afraid to explore!

Now, no matter where you find the Computer, it won't be functional. To get the Computer to work, you need to use a Pokemon with the Generate specialty to temporarily provide power to the computer. Once that's done, the Research Desk Habitat will be fully restored.

A colorful nighttime scene in a fantasy game shows a character approaching a researcher’s desk setup, highlighted by a notification. The setting includes a quaint house, vibrant plants, and a booth with flower decorations, creating a whimsical atmosphere.

After that, you will need to leave the habitat for a bit and come back later (around 15-30 minutes). By the time you return, Porygon should be waiting there.

If you see Porygon, talk to it. They will be registered to your Pokedex and will be one of your friends. With their Recycle specialty, they can turn Non-Burnable Garbage into Iron Ore or Wastepaper into Paper.
