How to evolve Porygon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Indigo Disk brings back many Pokemon with certain evolution requirements, like Porygon, Porygon2, and Porygon-Z. Here’s how to evolve these Normal-type Pokemon and where to find them in the wild.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Indigo Disk expansion is out now, bringing back a ton of Pokemon from past Generations.

Alongside Pokemon that evolve by leveling up like Flygon, Metagross, and Haxorus, plenty of Pokemon that require items to evolve can also be found in the Blueberry Academy’s Terarium.

While many Pokemon only require one item to evolve, The Normal-type Porygon will need multiple items to reach each evolution stage. So, let’s break down how to evolve Porygon into both Porygon2 and Porygon-Z, as well as where to find them in the wild.
