- (glitch Pokémon)

B óË ÁN is a Template:Type2 Glitch Pokémon.

It is only found by using the "Always Your Turn" code in FireRed and LeafGreen and switching Pokémon. This glitch causes the game to stop (except for the movement of the sprite), and no action can be taken (except accessing the Help menu). When it appears, it will come out of a Master Ball and have Bulbasaur's cry possibly because it is the first valid pokemon cry after 000.

When encountered, it will continuously scroll from bottom to top, and flip over (causing a small green distortion). It only appears as a yellow/orange square and cannot be found in any other way for the moment, not even by hacking the game's code because it's hexadecimal identifier is unknown therefore one cannot directly encounter it through an encounter code or change their first party pokemon to view it.

In order to encounter B óË ÁN, first the player enters the GameShark codes "Always your turn" and "Infinite PP" and catches a Caterpie. Then after evolving it into a Metapod, he/she has to use the Metapod against Brock with the GameShark codes switched on. He/she has to make the Metapod use Tackle once, and the game should automatically switch out to B óË ÁN.

Its sprite appears to be that of the animation of the move Conversion, when the white square changes color to that of the glitch Pokémon.

Another encounter of it has been found on the Gold and Silver ROM hack of Pokémon FireRed, ShinyGold, in which if the player had a Quilava in a battle with the rival of the game, used Ember and then tried to do the attack again but the game automatically switched to B óË ÁN and was stuck.

Because B óË ÁN's hexadecimal identifier is currently unknown no further details can currently be found such as moves and base stats and it may be hard to find it as there are at least 65,000 values that need to be searched through.

It is not recommended to try and do this glitch without saving beforehand otherwise the game will stick with that as long as it is on. The game will still keep any saved data beforehand however.
