Also could soneone add that it's the first Pokémon to have a different Spanish and Italian name unless UB-01 is revealed to be a Pokémon. --Raltseye prata med mej 15:01, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

It's "Tipo Zero" in Italian, literally "type zero" (yes, with no ":"). --Tano (talk) 16:31, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Yes, and as far as I manage in all those language (except Spanish) it means Type: Zero. So could someone please add this? --Raltseye prata med mej 20:28, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Like you said, not until we find out if there are other Pokemon that follow this trend in Gen VII. Starscream (talk) 13:39, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Appearance

The mask has a collar that is exactly like the ring on Arceus's waist. Since this is a genetically manufactured Pokémon and the mask is a limiter, it's like they're saying that religion limits Science. --Tano (talk) 16:31, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

I think that's a bit of a stretch. Bulbapedia is for verifiable facts, not inferences and interpretations. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 16:47, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

I agree, the second part is more like a fun talk. The fact is actually the collar part. May be a coincidence of course. --Tano (talk) 16:59, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

In addition the horn-thing, looks like a mix between the tao trio's wings.Animaltamer711:42, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

You mean the head-hatchet thing? I thought it did look like a Zekrom wing. Also, the collar spikes have green hexagons on them.--Pokencyclopedia (talk) 19:41, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

While I agree Tano's comment is too speculatory, I do think there is ample evidence and reference to note that Type:Null has a relationship with Arceus. Between the collar, the line on the pokemon site that says it was an attemtpt to create an artifical pokemon to replicate the power of a mhytical pokemon, the fact that it's evolution has an ability that's essentially a duplicate of Arceus's, and said ability is called RKS systems (RKS - Arrkayus - Arceus), I think it's more then clear that there is an intentional link Jabberwockxeno (talk) 02:08, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Genderless

As shown in the Japanese trailer, it it a genderless Pokemon. Mettie7 (talk) 16:32, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Yet another Pokémon with a name that consists of two words...

...after Mr. Mime, Mime Jr. and the recently-announced Tapu Koko. However, I think it's the first Pokémon to have a colon in its name. - LDEJRuff 18:11, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Catch Rates

How do game-players traditionally determine the numerical catch-rate for a Pokemon? Is this done by just throwing regular Pokeballs at a Pokemon while it is at full health and measuring how many attempts it takes to capture it, or is it by hacking the game? Avert (talk) 20:14, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

It's done by consulting the game's source code, yes. On a separate note, your signature goes at the end of your post, not the beginning. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 04:51, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Name Trivia

Isn't this the first Pokémon to not keep its English name in the Spanish and Italian localizations? Technickal (talk) 15:42, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Yes it is but it will be added once all the Gen VII Pokémon have been revealed incase any more follows this trend. --Raltseye prata med mej 17:55, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

I think this should be added

It is currently not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. Lokki (talk) 18:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Nope, none of our prerelease Pokémon articles have that clause, because we have no way of knowing whether they have no evolutions or if their evolved forms just haven't been revealed yet. If Type: Null doesn't evolve, that clause will be added after the games come out. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 18:26, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

And what's Oricorio then? Lokki (talk) 18:40, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

And also Solgaleo, Lunala and Magearna Lokki (talk) 18:42, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

The latter three are Legendaries/Mythicals, which as a rule don't evolve, but yes, it doesn't belong on Oricorio. As a side note, please use link templates. Don't casually link to redirects. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 19:01, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
