The Missingno. Master forums are set to close their doors on August 1st, unless there is a large upswing in activity there. I strongly urge all members of the Order of the Glitch to register on Bulbapedia, if they haven't done so already. However, I think account creation is still disabled at the time, so I might delay the closure of the forums until necessary.

The new Anime Pokémon notability policy angers me. I have thus concocted a new, improved version of the policy! However, I was informed that my efforts to get it implemented would fail, so I had it deleted. Sorry for wasting the time of you. However, expect the Order of the Glitch to be making an effort to begin the Great Glitch Pokémon Revolution very, very soon! Order members, watch this space!

Did you know...

From Bulbapedia's latest Glitch Pokémon-related changes and some other stuff they don't want you to know about:

• ...that 'M, PkMnaPkMnfPkMnk, PC4SH, LM4, Chiisai-u, 44Hy, and 3TrainerPoké are the only Glitch Pokémon to evolve at a level under 100?
• ...that Missingno. has five forms, one of which is exclusive to Pokémon Yellow?
• ...that fans often mistake 'M for Missingno.?
• ...that .4 is often blamed for the horrific effects of its Super Glitch move?
• ...that LM4's evolutions are both Pokémon that either evolve or have evolved by means of a Moon Stone?
• ...that Missingno. is less than half of 'M's height, but 'M only has roughly a quarter of Missingno.'s weight?

Information

Missingno. Master (Japanese: けつばんマスタ Ketsuban Master) is a member of Bulbapedia, and most notably, the Serebii.net Forums. He derived his user name from his self-proclaimed status as a Pokémon Master, and his love of Missingno., his absolute favorite Pokémon. He is notable for his tremendous collection of shiny Pokémon. Lately, he has been coming up with ideas for new Pokémon.

Missingno. Master's How-Tos

Missingno. Master's How-Tos are a series of text-based lessons detailing how to accomplish certain Pokémon-based feats, mostly within the games.

How to use unevolved Pokémon in competitive battle

Trick Room

Many unevolved Pokémon that are usable in competitive battle have decent offensive stats, but more often than not lack the speed to effectively compete. While the usage of Ninjask's Baton Pass can help with this very greatly, Trick Room is often a quicker and more reliable method.

An easy way to set up Trick Room is to use an unevolved Pokémon with Trick Room and Destiny Bond, preferably at level 1, holding a Focus Sash. The basis for this is simple: Foe uses attack, you hold on with Focus Sash, use Trick Room, then use Destiny Bond and take out the opponent. The only unevolved Pokémon that can utilize this strategy at level 1 are Duskull, Shuppet, Gastly, and Ralts.

After Trick Room is set up, you have 4 turns in which to sweep. The best Trick Room sweeper is Munchlax, given that its base 5 Speed stat is tied with Shuckle's for the lowest speed in history (nothing can outspeed it in Trick Room, in other words).

Previously fully evolved Pokémon

With every generation comes new evolutions of Pokémon that previously were considered fully evolved. In most, if not all, cases, these new evolutions completely outclassed their pre-evolutions. Sadly, most people dump the old Pokémon and instead cling to their new evolutions. In some cases, this is justifiable. However, there are some now-unevolved Pokémon that can still cut it in today's competitive battling.

How to make Cascoon useful

No, of course Cascoon isn't at all viable in competitive battling. But it does know a move that could be the key to a key Dustox strategy- Iron Defense.

Dustox

Item: Black Sludge

Nature: Bold

Attacks:

Iron Defense

Light Screen

Roost

Toxic/Swagger/Bug Buzz

EVs: 250 HP, 200 Sp. Def, 60 Def.

The idea here is to create a tanking situation. Dustox has a moderately usable Special Defense stat, and a noticeably lackluster, yet workable, Defense stat. Light Screen doubles the Special Defense, meaning Dustox can take special hits from all but the most powerful Ground and Psychic moves (and even then, it might survive- just don't expect it to brush off a CSpecs Gengar Psychic attack). Iron Defense, only learnable in the Cascoon stage, is for upping the Defense stat into something moderately respectable. Roost owns Moonlight in terms of HP recovery- an active Sand Stream or Snow Warning can screw over Moonlight, not to mention its pitiful PP count of 8-at best! Roost, however, restores a constant amount of 50% of the user's HP. Plus, its side effect of removing the user's flying type for the remainder of the turn isn't felt, because 1; Dustox is so slow it'll be going last most of the time anyway, and 2; Dustox isn't even a flying type! The last move is up to you, but no matter what you choose, it won't work on everything. Toxic is great- until you're up against a Poison-type, a Steel-type, something with Immunity, or worse, Guts and Earthquake. Swagger is a bit iffy, given that Dustox's Defense isn't all too great, and Dustox can't afford much physical damage to begin with. Bug Buzz, very iffy, coming off of a base 50 Special Attack stat, but with STAB, and the chance to reduce the foe's Special Defense, it's hard to pass up.

Missingno. Master's online history

Many years ago, Missingno. Master first became acquainted with the internet on PokémonCrater.com, though he had joined that website under the user name of Wynautfan (a reference to the fact that Wynaut is one of his favorite Pokémon). He had started with a Torchic which he promptly evolved into a Combusken. He then used Combusken to battle the PokémonCrater-exclusive Dratinice. After much usage of items and exchanges of attacks, Missingno. Master finally subdued Dratinice and captured it in a Master Ball (which at that time did NOT have a 100% capture rate in PokémonCrater). Afterwards, Dratinice being level 80, Wynautfan quickly moved through the game, obtaining many badges, and evolved Dratinice into Dratinire. Soon afterwards, he was using Google to find good Pokémon information and stumbled upon Serebii.net. He liked the reliable information the website provided, and soon afterwards joined the forums under the name Missingno. Master.

The Missingno. Master Forums

Soon after the Celebi Glitch was discovered, Serebii of the Serebii.net forums vehemently denied the existance of the glitch, and went so far as to disallow discussion of the glitch anywhere on the forums. Several members of the Missingno. club (which has since been disbanded), including Missingno. Master decided to make their own Missingno.-based forum, one Jigpuff being the leader. Missingno. Master started out as a moderator, then was eventually promoted to Admin. Soon afterwards, however, he made the grave mistake of signing on to the forums late at night, half asleep. Long story short, he took over the forums, demoting everyone except himself. Shortly afterwards, when wide awake, he saw what he had done, and immediately fixed it. Jigpuff, however, being cruel and unforgiving, blind to his sincere remorse, demoted him to member, and for some time, took away his posting ability. Eventually, he was banned for no reason. Shortly afterwards, he created the Missingno. Master forums, which still exist today (and are in DIRE need of more members).
