 "Porygon Community Day Classic: How to Evolve Porygon, Porygon2, and Porygon-Z in Pokemon GO"

Pokemon GO enthusiasts are gearing up for the Porygon Community Day Classic scheduled for January 20, 2024, from 2 pm to 5 pm local time. For those wondering about evolving Porygon into Porygon2 and Porygon-Z, the process is straightforward with the right items.

This guide will outline the items needed to evolve Porygon and its evolutions in Pokemon GO and provide insights on acquiring them.

**How to evolve Porygon into Porygon2 in Pokemon GO:**

To evolve Porygon into Porygon2, players need 25 Candy and a special evolution item called Up-Grade. Acquiring the Candy is relatively easy, requiring catching as few as eight Porygon. However, obtaining the Up-Grade might involve patience, as it can be obtained through random PokeStop spins or Research Breakthrough rewards.

**How to evolve Porygon2 into Porygon-Z in Pokemon GO:**

Evolving Porygon2 into Porygon-Z is a bit more intricate but manageable. Players must collect 100 Candy by capturing and transferring Porygon. Each capture provides three Candy, and each transfer grants one. Additionally, a Sinnoh Stone is needed for the evolution, obtainable through Research Breakthroughs, defeating team leaders (Sierra, Cliff, or Arlo), winning PvP battles, or as a mystery gift from GO Battle League.

During the January Community Day Classic, evolving Porygon2 into Porygon-Z awards the Charged Attack Tri Attack, dealing 65 damage in trainer battles and 75 damage in Gyms and raids.
