Porygon2 · Neo Revelation, what to know.
About the Porygon2 card
Porygon2 is card 12 of 66 in Neo Revelation, released in September 2001, a Rare Holo. It is a Stage 1 Colorless-type with 70 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Porygon, which places Porygon2 deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.

The card's flavor text gives Porygon2 a line of lore: "This upgraded version of Porygon is designed for space exploration. It can't fly, though."
What is Porygon2 worth?
Porygon2 is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Neo Revelation's value. The print variant decides most of it: a 1st Edition copy in high grade commands a large premium over a Shadowless or Unlimited one. In top-grade 1st Edition, Neo Revelation holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Neo Revelation produced 1st Edition, Unlimited, Shining prints. For Porygon2, the print variant can change the price several times over, so identify it before you buy.
Grading and condition
Grading Porygon2 comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Porygon2 can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting Porygon2
Buying Porygon2 well means pricing the exact print and grade, not the card name. The 1st Edition Porygon2 trades above the Unlimited copy, so confirm the stamp before you agree a number. Always see the holo surface in good light first.
