How to get Porygon in Pokemon Yellow
Porygon is a Prize Room mon in Celadon City: spend 9,999 coins for a Lv.26 Normal-type. Grab the Coin Case from the Celadon Diner, fill coins (buy packs, NPC tips, hidden tiles), then redeem at the counter next to the Game Corner.
Fast answer
Diner Case · 9,999 coins · Prize Room
In Celadon, take the Coin Case from the diner gambler, raise your case to 9,999 coins (clerk sells 50 for ₽1,000), walk into the Prize Room, and buy Porygon from the Pokemon counter. Yellow’s table is not Red/Blue’s—Porygon is the top coin mon at full case capacity.
*Free total = 50 NPC tips + 240 hidden floor coins if you claim every one-time source in the Game Corner.

Story path
Step-by-step to prize Porygon
1. Coin Case at the diner
Enter Celadon Diner and talk to the gambler at the back table for the Coin Case. Without it, the clerk and prize counters will not hold coins for you.
2. Free coins inside the Corner
Talk to the three tip NPCs (50 coins total) and search hidden floor tiles (240 coins total) with careful steps or map routing.
3. Buy packs at the clerk
Purchase 50 coins for ₽1,000 as needed. Starting from zero with no free coins takes 200 packs / ₽200,000; the final pack caps the case at 9,999. The clerk refuses sales once the current balance is 9,990 or more.
4. Redeem in the Prize Room
Enter the Prize Room, choose the Pokemon counter that lists Porygon, spend 9,999 coins, and receive Lv.26 Porygon. Free a party or PC slot first.

Worth the coin wall?
Porygon is unique Normal coverage with Psybeam early and Recover soon after. Stats are modest for the coin cost—many players prefer Scyther/Pinsir at 6,500 if they only farm once. Grab Porygon for dex completion, novelty, or a TM sponge special attacker.

Play tips
Spend less pain on 9,999
Free coins before big purchases
Claim the 290 free coins when the case is low—every free coin is ₽20 you do not need at the clerk. Near 9,990, check the order: you may need to buy a pack before collecting the last free coins.
Do not buy Scyther first if Porygon is the goal
6,500 on Scyther or Pinsir forces another long farm for Porygon. Decide the priority mon before emptying the case.
Case full = one Porygon
Capacity equals cost. If you sit at 9,999 and redeem Porygon, the case goes to zero—perfect for a clean one-shot purchase.
