?????????? is a Glitch Pokémon that occupies slot 00 (or, to be exact, slot 0000) in Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald versions. It was programmed into the game to prevent game crashes. It is not technically a glitch, because unlike previous (and future) inhabitants of slot 00, its information was defined by the programmers.

The only known way to encounter this Pokémon in the wild is to use a GameShark or other cheating device; however there are rumors that this Pokémon (along with ?, the Glitch Pokémon in slot 00FC) can be seen in the wild, with a slim-to-none chance.

Trivia
- There are many other variations of this Pokémon in the Generation III games. Their images can be backwards, differently colored, both, et cetera.
- Many variations of this Glitch Pokémon are named after moves or fragments of a move's name (e.g. POUND, CHOP, RBOLT, WING ATTACK, ICK ATTACK, and so on.)
- In the Generation I games, hexadecimal slots were from 00 to FF, totaling to exactly 256 Pokémon slots available. However, in the Generation III games, the hexes are from 0000 to FFFF, allowing thousands (65,536 to be exact) of Pokémon to be defined. However, only 387 (counting ??????????) were defined, filling the remaining 65,149 slots with ?????????? variants, or "decamarks," as they are referred to by glitch researchers.
- Analysis of ??????????'s moveset has yielded Bulbasaur's exact Generation III moveset. However, this could be incorrect.
- It has been stated that there are also similar glitch Pokémon called ??????????? and ????????????. However, this can safely be dismissed as nonsense, due to the fact that (even in Diamond and Pearl) no Pokémon's name can be longer than ten characters. Coincidentally, this can be confirmed using the catchphrase system in Pokémon Battle Revolution, as the name placeholder is "PPPPPPPPPP."
