Hi and welcome to our fourth Pokémon of the week! I hope you have fun and enjoy learning about the new Pokémon!

Gender: None
Height: 10’00”
Weight: 3507.2lbs
Type: Abilities: Unknown, this ability has no effect at all.
Pokédex Info:Missingno. (Japanese: けつばん Ketsuban) is a dual-type Bird/Normal glitch Pokémon in Pokémon Red and Blue, and a dual-type Normal/999 glitch Pokémon in Pokémon Yellow. Due to the ease of which it can be found, it is one of the best-known glitch Pokémon. Missingno.'s English and Japanese names are both derived from "missing number".
In later generations, other glitch Pokémon are referred to as "a Missingno.", such as ??????????, ?, and -----. Despite this, they have little relation to the one found in Pokémon Red and Blue or Yellow.
Missingno.'s cry is the game's equivalent of a "blank" cry: a Nidoran♂'s cry with a pitch of 0 and no echo. However, a few Missingno. have different cries, such as a Rhydon's cry.
The Pokédex entries of Missingno. and all glitch Pokémon with a Pokédex number of 0 will only appear upon capture if the player has not encountered Cubone, but as with all glitch Pokédex entries, they normally remain inaccessible through the actual Pokédex. An exception to this is in Red and Green, where Missingno. can be "registered"; in the Pokédex if the player enables the 'seen' flag for #152 through select button glitches and memory corruption. If Missingno.'s Pokédex data is viewed, it will consist of a very long string of glitchy sounds, much like ゥ .4 or h POKé's entries. However, unlike their entries, Missingno.'s does not freeze the game.
The leveling up learnset, base stats and types of the Kabutops Fossil, Aerodactyl Fossil and Ghost forms are the same as the Pokémon whose data was accessed last.

Missing-no actually has no competitive uses at all. It only has only 3 moves and is able to be different forms. Missing-no is only obtainable in R/B/Y.
Trivia If counted among normal Pokémon, the typical 'normal form' Missingno. has the highest Attack base stat of all valid Pokémon in Red and Blue. This is the thirteenth highest of all Pokémon, not including other glitch Pokémon as of Generation V.
Likewise, the 'normal form' Missingno. has the lowest Defense base stat of any Pokémon, again not including other glitch Pokémon and the third lowest Speed base stat in Red and Blue.
The Pokémon Yellow normal form Missingno. have 0 base speed. This ties with various Generation I glitch Pokémon for the lowest base Speed stat.
Missingno. is much heavier than any regular Pokémon. Missingno. is about four times heavier than 'M (00). Missingno. is about half the weight of h POKé, the heaviest known Pokémon of any kind.
Missingno.'s height is 10'0". 'M (00) is more than twice as tall as Missingno. This makes Missingno. the 19th tallest Pokémon when compared to non-glitch Pokémon.
In its normal form, it has the same learnset as 'M (00), except that 'M (00) cannot learn Substitute via TM50 and Missingno. cannot learn Pound.
Normal form Missingno.'s stats in Red and Blue are actually determined by the parties of several Bikers, read as base stats.
Missingno. is the only glitch Pokémon in Generation I whose English name is entirely composed of typographical characters. Although other glitch Pokémon such as Trainer and C may appear to be entirely composed of typographical characters, they contain illegible characters which change depending on the current tileset loaded into memory.
In the Generation IV games, there is a sprite that contains text that reads 欠番, Missingno.'s Japanese name in kanji. However, unlike the Generation I placeholder text "MISSINGNO.", it exists only to substitute blank tile data, not blank species data. This means that the game will display this if a sprite is referenced that does not exist or cannot be accessed.
Missingno. is referred to as "Pokémon 000" on Nintendo's consumer support website, referencing its Pokédex number.
