'''Invisible {{shiny2}} {{p|Bulbasaur}}''' is a [[glitch Pokémon]] found only in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]].
| style="text-align: right;" | '''Weight'''
It is usually found in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Oreburgh Mine]] with the use of an [[Action Replay]], although there are other ways in encountering it with an [[Action Replay]].<sup>[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YHrw6ZC8BXU]</sup>. It can also be encountered in a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] [[double battle]] when using a cheat code to walk over water, or in {{si|Victory Road}}.

Invisible shiny Bulbasaur always appears at Lv.0 with 0 Max HP, similarly to [[Ten question marks|??????????]] in [[Generation III]]. It does not appear to have any usable attacks &mdash; in double battles, the only attack it can use is Struggle. It is apparently invisible, although it may have a sprite resembling [[DPBox]]'s (when it uses Struggle in a double battle, the bottom of a sprite resembling [[DPBox]]'s is visible at the top of the screen) Its name is derived from the fact that at the start of a battle it sparkles like a shiny Pokémon, and Bulbasaur's cry is heard, suggesting that it is a shiny Bulbasaur. If the player attempts to attack it, the game will assume there is no target and end the battle immediately.
| style="text-align: right;" | '''[[Ability]]'''
 
| No Ability
By using the [[Cheating|walk through walls]] code to walk over water, the player can trigger a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] [[double battle]] with an Invisible shiny Bulbasaur and a real Pokémon. An Invisible shiny Bulbasaur's shadow cannot be seen under it. Instead, the shadow is found beside the real Pokémon. The game, thinking that the player is traveling with a partner, will display two of the player's back sprite, one being the player and the "clone" being the nonexistent partner. The partner, whose name is nothing more than a blank space, will send out a DP Box. If the player does not run, then after both real Pokémon have taken their turns, one of the glitches will attack the other with {{m|Struggle}}, causing both to faint (one from damage, the other from recoil). It is also possible to obtain Invisible shiny Bulbasaur by using the [[Cheating|instant egg]] code when two Pokémon are not in the daycare and then using the [[Cheating|hatch eggs fast]] code to hatch an otherwise unhatchable egg. However, this often results in freezing the game. In some rare cases, an Action Replay code input wrongly may cause a permanent [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] Invisible shiny Bulbasaur to appear.
 
Interestingly, in a wild double battle, Invisible shiny Bulbasaur copies its partner's Speed stat and replaces all participating Pokémon's cries (including DPBox's) with a Bulbasaur's cry. After each attack animation, its HP counter disappears.
 
Invisible shiny Bulbasaur is essentially a {{wp|Null (computer programming)|null}}, which happens when an empty space in the party is called to battle, which is why the game doesn't read it as a real target.

===Type effectiveness===
'''-----''', also known as '''DPBox''', and often called the '''[[Generation IV]] [[Missingno.]]''' due to its appearance, is a [[Glitch Pokémon]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. It has been dubbed "DPBox" by gamers due to its appearance, a white box with two vertical black lines on it. Its blocky appearance draws comparisons to the well-known [[Missingno.]] of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

It will appear in a player's party if they attempt to enter a [[double battle]] with two [[faint]]ed Pokémon, an {{pkmn|egg}}, and a healthy Pokémon in that order in their [[party]]. The glitch does not work when using a [[Vs Seeker]] to enter the double battle. When sent out, it will have {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s cry and will sparkle as if it were a {{shiny2}} Pokémon. In the Japanese version, it is also obtainable in the wild by using a Japanese [[Action Replay]].

It can also appear when one "recruits" a partner {{pkmn|Trainer}} (such as [[Riley]]) and leaves the area the partner is "supposed" to be in using a Walk Through Walls cheat; from there, the player must trigger a wild battle (a common method is to walk on water). This results in the partner (who was replaced by a placeholder partner when the player left the "recruitment area") sending out DPBox as a placeholder Pokémon. In double battles, DPBox copies the speed of its partner and changes all Pokémon's cries to Bulbasaur's cry. After every attack animation, its [[HP]] bar disappears. It has no usable attacks (although it may have glitch attacks) and it doesn't show up on the Pokémon screen.

To get rid of this glitch, place a Pokémon where it appears to be, that Pokémon will be deleted and DPBox will became selectable(if another Pokémon is selected or even pointed DPBox will become unselectable again), after that it can be released or placed in a box. If placed in the box, it will disappear when the PC is closed. Be cautious because if it isn't in the last slot when the party is full, the Pokémon that's placed where DPBox is will be deleted and DPBox will not be selectable. Also, if it is in the first slot, the game will freeze whenever the party is displayed.

*DPbox has been found to display a long name, repeating the last letter that appeared and overlapping three times as its name, before the player's Pokémon is sent out.
*Walking with a Pokémon in [[Amity Square]] is also read by the game as having a partner trainer, and can therefore be used to find DPbox in wild double battles.
*When a Pokémon is used in battle, there is usually a message saying 'What will (Pokémon's name) do?' but when DPbox is in battle, the message is 'Wha do?' The reason for this is unknown.

-----, also known as DPBox, and often called the Generation IV Missingno. due to its appearance, is a Glitch Pokémon in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It has been dubbed "DPBox" by gamers due to its appearance, a white box with two vertical black lines on it. Its blocky appearance draws comparisons to the well-known Missingno. of Pokémon Red and Blue.

It will appear in a player's party if they attempt to enter a double battle with two fainted Pokémon, an egg, and a healthy Pokémon in that order in their party. The glitch does not work when using a Vs Seeker to enter the double battle. When sent out, it will have Bulbasaur's cry and will sparkle as if it were a Template:Shiny2 Pokémon. In the Japanese version, it is also obtainable in the wild by using a Japanese Action Replay.

It can also appear when one "recruits" a partner Trainer (such as Riley) and leaves the area the partner is "supposed" to be in using a Walk Through Walls cheat; from there, the player must trigger a wild battle (a common method is to walk on water). This results in the partner (who was replaced by a placeholder partner when the player left the "recruitment area") sending out DPBox as a placeholder Pokémon. In double battles, DPBox copies the speed of its partner and changes all Pokémon's cries to Bulbasaur's cry. After every attack animation, its HP bar disappears. It has no usable attacks (although it may have glitch attacks) and it doesn't show up on the Pokémon screen.

To get rid of this glitch, place a Pokémon where it appears to be, that Pokémon will be deleted and DPBox will became selectable(if another Pokémon is selected or even pointed DPBox will become unselectable again), after that it can be released or placed in a box. If placed in the box, it will disappear when the PC is closed. Be cautious because if it isn't in the last slot when the party is full, the Pokémon that's placed where DPBox is will be deleted and DPBox will not be selectable. Also, if it is in the first slot, the game will freeze whenever the party is displayed.

Interestingly, when using the infamous walk through anything code and going into a wild double battle, a variant of DPBox called Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur will be one of the two wild Pokémon.

It is also possible to clone items with -----.

Glitched partner Trainer

As was mentioned above, when one leaves the area where one "recruited" a partner Trainer, that Trainer is replaced by placeholder data. The reason is because when the player leaves the area, the game assumes that the player is no longer traveling with the partner and it changes all of the partner's data back to placeholder data. However, the game doesn't know that the player is still traveling with them, so when the player gets in a wild battle, the placeholder Trainer appears to assist the player.

The placeholder's Trainer back sprite is identical to the player's, and their only Pokémon is DPBox.

Invisible shiny Bulbasaur

Main article: Invisible shiny Bulbasaur

Invisible Template:Shiny2 Bulbasaur is a variant of DPBox. It is usually found in Sinnoh's Oreburgh Mine with the use of an Action Replay. It can also be encountered using the DPBox double battle method described above.

Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur always appears at Lv.0 with 0 Max HP, similarly to ?????????? in Generation III. It is apparently invisible, although it may have a sprite resembling DPBox's (when it uses Struggle in a double battle, the bottom of a sprite resembling DPBox's is visible at the top of the screen). If the player attempts to attack it, the game will assume there is no target and end the battle immediately.

When encountered using the double battle method, it is likely to faint; if the player does not run, then after both real Pokémon have taken their turns, one of the glitches will attack the other with Struggle, causing both to faint (one from damage, the other from recoil). From this method, it can also be seen that its sprite is a duplicate of DPBox's, only placed higher for some reason.
