'''Missingno.''' (Japanese: '''けつばん''' ''Ketsuban'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bird|Normal}} [[glitch Pokémon]] in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and a dual-type {{2t|Normal|999}} [[glitch Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}. Due to the ease of which it can be found, it is one of the best-known glitch Pokémon.

In later generations, other glitch Pokémon are referred to as "a Missingno.", such as {{?|10}}, {{gp|?}}, and [[-----]]. Despite this, they have little relation to the one found in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} or {{v2|Yellow}}.

Missingno.'s [[cry]] is the game's equivalent of a "blank" cry: a {{p|Nidoran♂}}'s cry with a pitch of 0 and no echo. However, a few Missingno. have different cries, such as a {{p|Rhydon}}'s cry.

The Pokédex entries of Missingno. and all glitch Pokémon with a Pokédex number of 0 will only appear upon capture if the player has not encountered {{p|Cubone}}, but as with all glitch Pokédex entries, they normally remain inaccessible through the actual Pokédex. An exception to this is in {{2v2|Red|Green}}, where Missingno. can be "registered"; in the Pokédex if the player enables the 'seen' flag for #152 through select button glitches and memory corruption. If Missingno.'s Pokédex data is viewed, it will consist of a very long string of glitchy sounds, much like [[ゥ .4]] or [[h POKé]]'s entries. However, unlike their entries, Missingno.'s does not [[game freeze|freeze]] the game.

The leveling up learnset, base stats and types of the Kabutops Fossil, Aerodactyl Fossil and Ghost forms are the same as the Pokémon whose data was accessed last.

==Forms==
===Normal form===
[[File:Missingno RB.png|thumb]]
Missingno. normal form has a sprite that is a strange block of glitched pixels in a backward-L shape. Due to the larger number of characters that can be used to make it appear, it is the most common form. Normal form is exclusive to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* This form appears through the [[old man glitch]] if the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's name is the end-name marker, G, H, J, M, S, T, :, ], a, b, c, m, o, p, or v.
* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 31, 32, 50, 52, 56, 61, 62, 63, 67, 68, 69, 79, 80, 81, 86, 87, 94, 95, 115, 121, 122, 127, 134, 135, 137, 140, 146, 156, 159, 160, 161, 162, 172, 174, 175 or 181.

==={{p|Kabutops}} [[Fossil]] form===
[[File:Spr 1b 141 f.png|thumb]]
{{main|Missingno./B6}}
Missingno. {{p|Kabutops}} Fossil form uses the sprite of the {{p|Kabutops}} Fossil found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].
* This form appears through the [[old man glitch]] if w is the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's chosen name.
* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 182.

==={{p|Aerodactyl}} [[Fossil]] form===
[[File:Spr 1b 142 f.png|thumb]]
{{main|Missingno./B7}}
Missingno. {{p|Aerodactyl}} Fossil form uses the sprite of the {{p|Aerodactyl}} Fossil found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].
* This form appears through the [[old man glitch]] if x is the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's chosen name.
* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 183.

==={{OBP|Ghost|literal}} form===
[[File:Ghost I.png|thumb]]
{{main|Missingno./B8}}
Missingno. Ghost form uses the sprite of the {{OBP|Ghost|literal|ghost}} found in [[Pokémon Tower]] if the player does not have the [[Silph Scope]].
* This form appears through the [[old man glitch]] if y is the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's chosen name.
* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 184.
* This form appears through evolving [[Z ゥ]] at level 224.

==={{v2|Yellow}} form===
[[File:Missingno Y.png|thumb]]
Missingno. {{v2|Yellow}} form is {{2t|Normal|999}}, whereas Missingno. forms in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} are {{2t|Bird|Normal}}. It uses the palette of {{p|Pikachu}}, and so appears as a yellow and red glitched box. It also causes glitches that Missingno. in Red and Blue did not. If caught, it will cause graphical glitches, possibly rendering the player invisible and making duplicates of the player and all other on-screen characters walk in random locations on the screen. Yellow form is exclusive to {{game|Yellow}}.
* This form does not appear through the [[old man glitch]], as the old man glitch was removed in {{game|Yellow}}.
* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 31, 32, 56, 61, 62, 63, 67, 68, 69 or 86.

==Glitches caused==
[[File:Halloffameglitches.png|thumb|160px|Examples of corrupted Hall of Fame entries]]
[[File:Missingno glitch walking players.png|thumb|left|160px|Example of multiple walking players on the screen]]
Missingno.'s appearance in-battle allows the [[Item duplication glitch#Pokédex 000 item duplication glitch|item duplication glitch]], which increases the number of items in the 6th bag slot by 128 unless the number of items in the slot already exceeds 128.

Encountering Missingno. has been known to interfere with the save game data in various ways, such as adversely affecting the [[Hall of Fame]] saved data and (if its stats are viewed) messing with some graphics until the stats of a normal Pokémon are viewed. When a Trainer battles with Missingno. in their [[party]], both the Trainer sprite and their Pokémon's sprites will be scrambled, and all other sprites will be reversed. Viewing the [[stats]] screen of a non-glitch Pokémon will remove the effects.

In Pokémon Yellow, capturing Missingno. will cause multiple player sprites to walk around the screen.
{{-}}
==Trading Missingno.==
Missingno. can be traded from Red and Blue into {{game|Yellow}}, but cannot be traded forward through the [[Time Capsule]] into {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. In Yellow, Missingno. levels down to level 1 if it gains any experience, and cannot grow any higher. The only way to use a Missingno. at a different level in battle is to use a [[link cable]] to battle between two games.

In the trade center, Missingno., due to its [[index number]], appears as many different [[Generation II]] Pokémon from the perspective of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, most commonly {{p|Tyrogue}} (due to the common name of ASH in Generation I). For a full list of the Generation II Pokémon Missingno. can appear as, see [[list of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)]]. If the player tries to trade Missingno., a message will appear stating "''Your <name> appears abnormal''." and the trade will automatically be cancelled. Rarely, if a Missingno. is successfully traded, it will become the Pokémon it was said to be, and act normally (though it will retain any and all moves it had as a Missingno.). At this point, it only may be traded back into the Generation I game while the player is still in the Time Capsule (where it will again become a Missingno.), as if the player leaves, the Generation II game will detect it as a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and not allow the player to enter the Time Capsule.

==In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}==
When viewed in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, Missingno. will appear as a {{m|substitute}} doll, while in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Missingno. will show up as a {{p|Ditto}}, and if the game is saved via Stadium 2, will then become a Ditto permanently. Capturing Missingno. in the [[Game Boy Tower]] in Pokémon Stadium may cause the cartridge to become unable to be played with Pokémon Stadium.

==Nintendo on Missingno.==
Nintendo has an official description of Missingno. listed in their Customer Service troubleshooting section:

<blockquote>"MissingNO is a programming quirk, and not a real part of the game. When you get this, your game can perform strangely, and the [[#Glitches caused|graphics will often become scrambled]]. The MissingNO Pokémon is most often found after you perform the [[Old man glitch|Fight Safari Zone Pokémon trick]].

To fix the scrambled graphics, try releasing the MissingNo Pokémon. If the problem persists, the only solution is to re-start your game. This means erasing your current game and starting a brand new one." <ref name="NintendoTroubleshooting">[http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#missingno Nintendo - Consumer Service]</ref></blockquote>

Nintendo was incorrect on the method for fixing graphical issues; releasing Missingno. does not fix the graphics. The actual way to fix these issues is to view the Pokédex data or stat page of a [[Glitch Pokémon family|hybrid glitch Pokémon]] or official Pokémon.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ketsuban.png|thumb|Sprite of Missingno. in Pokémon Red and Green]]
[[File:GenIVKetsuban.png|thumb|right|Gene- ration IV sprite]]
* If counted among normal Pokémon, the typical 'normal form' Missingno. has the highest {{stat|Attack}} [[base stats|base stat]] of all valid Pokémon in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}. This is the thirteenth highest of all Pokémon, not including other glitch Pokémon as of [[Generation V]].
** Likewise, the 'normal form' Missingno. has the lowest {{stat|Defense}} base stat of any Pokémon, again not including other glitch Pokémon and the third lowest {{stat|Speed}} base stat in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}.
*** The {{game|Yellow}} normal form Missingno. have 0 base speed. This ties with various [[Generation I]] glitch Pokémon for the lowest base Speed stat.
* Missingno. is much [[List of Pokémon by weight|heavier]] than any regular Pokémon. Missingno. is about four times heavier than [['M (00)]]. Missingno. is about half the weight of [[h POKé]], the heaviest known Pokémon of any kind.
* Missingno.'s height is 10'0". [['M (00)]] is more than twice as tall as Missingno. This makes Missingno. the [[List of Pokémon by height|19th tallest Pokémon]] when compared to non-glitch Pokémon.
* In its normal form, it has the same learnset as [['M (00)]], except that 'M (00) cannot learn {{m|Substitute}} via [[TM50]] and Missingno. cannot learn {{m|Pound}}.
* Normal form Missingno.'s stats in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}} are actually determined by the [[Party|parties]] of several {{tc|Biker}}s, read as base stats.
* Missingno. is the only [[glitch Pokémon]] in [[Generation I]] whose English name is entirely composed of typographical characters. Although other glitch Pokémon such as [[Trainer (glitch Pokémon)|Trainer]] and [[C (uppercase)|C]] may appear to be entirely composed of typographical characters, they contain illegible characters which change depending on the current tileset loaded into memory.
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is a sprite that contains text that reads {{tt|欠番|けつばん}}, Missingno.'s Japanese name in {{wp|kanji}}. However, unlike the Generation I placeholder text "MISSINGNO.", it exists only to substitute blank tile data, not blank species data. This means that the game will display this if a sprite is referenced that does not exist or cannot be accessed.
* Missingno. is referred to as "Pokémon 000" on their consumer support website, referencing its Pokédex number.

==Name origin==
