Hey Bill! I do have a Porygon-z, and have taken all precautions to make sure it doesn’t wreck all the electronics in my house, such as confining it to an old smartphone. Is there anything else I should be aware of, other than its erratic behavior? Thanks!

Not really, no. As noted in the previous entry concerning care for the porygon line (http://bills-pokedex.tumblr.com/post/174025518056/hi-bill-i-wanted-to-ask-for-some-advice-about), raising a porygon or its evolutions is actually pretty easy so long as you have a working computer and are willing to run maintenance programs.

The only catch is, of course, its behavior, which can make it tricky handle. You may find that confining it to one device doesn’t always work, and getting it to stay still for routine maintenance may be even harder.

However, there are ways to get it to do what you need it to do. Positive reinforcement, for one. (That is, offer something that might appeal to it, such as a treat, a toy, extra minutes added to its training sessions, or some time occupying a video game.) Additionally, some porygon-z actually respond rather well to having a companion which can then herd them or otherwise talk them into behaving. (Pikachu tend to be popular for this, strangely enough, but porygon-z also respond well to most other electric-types short of the magnemite line.) If neither of these options are available to you, you’ll simply have to remember to be patient at all times. Eventually, your porygon-z will listen to you; it simply needs to wear itself out in most cases first.

Best of luck!
