DP hybrids are glitch Pokémon that share the sprites of normal Pokémon. They crash the game when their undefined Pokédex entry is viewed (some emulators can view the entry, but all cartridge versions will crash at this point), when they attempt to use their currently unknown glitch move, and when the player attempts to view their stats screen. All hybrids have a common moveset.

Trivia

• Any given hybrid's hexadecimal identifier is the same as the corresponding Pokémon's, but with an 8 at the beginning instead of a 0 (e.g. Bulbasaur is hex 0001, its hybrid is hex 8001)
• The only way to catch a hybrid on a cartridge version successfully would be to use an Action Replay code that would complete the Pokédex up to at least hex 81ED. However, such a code would be extremely long and could have adverse effects to the game's memory.
• It is possible to own one in a cartridge version using a fossil modifier code.
• Hybrids grow to the levels 1, 4, and 9 twice.
• Hybrids skip levels 22, 30, 35, 44, 51, 56, and 62.
• The hybrids' starting glitch move was and is the main obstacle for people studying glitches.
• At level 1, hybrids attempt to learn an alternating sequence of Double-Edge and a random move.
• At level 42, hybrids attempt to learn Signal Beam seven times.
• At level 64, hybrids attempt to learn the glitch move "-" ten times.
• Hybrids can learn several signature moves, such as Present, Heal Order, Chatter, and Heart Swap.
• Hybrids try to learn the placeholder move Struggle at level 59.
• Hex 8000 is the only hybrid of a glitch.
• Hybrids do not appear to have any programming purpose since the values they occupy are completely irrelevant to the game.
