Overview
Porygon2 is a Normal-type Pokemon that can be befriended in Pokemon Pokopia. It possesses the exclusive Rarify specialty, which converts Star Pieces into Rare Pokemetal. This makes Porygon2 one of the most important Pokemon for late-game progression, as Rare Pokemetal is required for crafting the Tidal Bell and Clear Bell used to summon Lugia and Ho-Oh, as well as the building kits for the three Legendary Birds.
Rarify Specialty
The Rarify specialty is unique to Porygon2. Once befriended, Porygon2 can convert Star Pieces into Rare Pokemetal. Star Pieces are assembled from 99 Stardust gathered on Dream Islands. The conversion is expensive in terms of resources, but Rare Pokemetal is an essential crafting ingredient for some of the most important items in the game.
The conversion rate is one Star Piece per Rare Pokemetal. Since each Star Piece requires 99 Stardust (collected from Dream Islands), stockpiling Stardust over many days is necessary before Porygon2's Rarify becomes practical.
Uses for Rare Pokemetal

Tidal Bell (Lugia) | 5 | 5 Silver Feathers |
Clear Bell (Ho-Oh) | 5 | 5 Rainbow Feathers |

Abandoned Power Plant (Zapdos) | 10 Pokemetal | 50 Copper Ingot, 50 Gold Ingot, 50 Sea Glass Fragments, 50 Brick |
Altar of the Flame (Moltres) | 10 Pokemetal | 50 Copper Ingot, 50 Gold Ingot, 50 Lava Block |
How to Befriend
Porygon2 can be befriended by creating the appropriate habitat in your town. Check the Habitat Dex at any Pokemon Center PC for the specific habitat configuration required. Porygon2 typically requires technology-themed habitat elements consistent with its digital nature.
Tips
Visit Dream Islands daily to accumulate Stardust. The Ditto Doll has a higher Stardust spawn rate than other dolls. Feed Mosslax sweet food to boost artifact discovery rates, which can help with Stardust farming indirectly. Befriend Porygon2 as soon as its habitat becomes available, since the Stardust-to-Star-Piece-to-Rare-Pokemetal pipeline takes many days of consistent collection.
