| '''DP box''', often called the '''[[Generation IV]] [[Missingno.]]''' due to its appearance, is a [[glitch]] Pokémon in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]].

| It will appear in a player's party if they attempt to enter a double battle with two [[faint]]ed Pokémon, an [[Pokémon egg|egg]], and a healthy Pokémon in that order in their [[party]]. It does not work using a [[Vs Seeker]] to enter the double battle. When sent out, it will have {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s cry and will sparkle as if it were a [[alternate coloration|shiny]] Pokémon. It has no attacks, and will not appear if the party is looked at in battle. It is also obtainable in the wild by using a Japanese Action Replay.
| | '''Invisible [[alternate coloration|Shiny]] {{p|Bulbasaur}}''' is a [[glitch]] Pokémon in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]. |
| | It is usually found in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Oreburgh Mine]] with the use of an Action Replay. It can also be encountered in a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] [[double battle]] when using a cheat code to walk over water, and it can be found in Victory Road as well. |
|
| |
|
| It can also be encountered by using the "walk anywhere" code activated and having a partner so as to encounter wild Pokémon in double battles. This will cause the player to be duplicated if a wild Pokémon is encountered when walking on water and the duplicate, which has a glitched-up name, to send out a DP box. | | Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur always appears at Lv.0 with 0 Max HP, similarly to [[Ten question marks|??????????]] in [[Generation III]]. It doesn't appear to have any usable attacks -- in double battles, the only attack it can use is Struggle. It is apparently invisible, although it may have a sprite resembling DPBox's (when it uses Struggle in a double battle, the bottom of a sprite resembling DPBox's is visible at the top of the screen); it sparkles like a Shiny Pokémon when it appears; and it's cry is the same as that of a Bulbasaur. If the player attempts to attack it, the game will assume there is no target and end the battle immediately. |

|
| It has no official name (as there is no data, its name appears as simply blank space), so it is simply called "DP box" by fans due to its appearance as a simple white rectangle with two black lines running vertically across it. This blocky appearance also causes many fans to harken back to the appearance of Missingno. in [[Pokémon Red and Blue]].
| | By using the [[Cheating|walk through walls]] code to walk over water, the player can trigger a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] [[double battle]] with an Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur and a real Pokémon. The game, thinking that the player is traveling with a partner, will display two of the player's back sprite, one being the player and the "clone" being the non-existant partner. The partner, whose name is nothing more than a blank space, will send out a DP Box. If the player does not run, then after both real Pokémon have taken their turns, one of the glitches will attack the other with {{m|Struggle}}, causing both to faint (one from damage, the other from recoil). |

|
| It only appears in the wild in the Japanese version, due to many of the glitches being removed as the games were translated for the American audience.
| | Interestingly, in a wild double battle, Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur copies its partner's Speed stat and replaces all participating Pokemon's cries (including DPBox) with a Bulbasaur's cry. After each attack animation, its HP counter disappears. |
| | |
| Interestingly, when using the Infamous [[Cheating|walk through anything]] code and going into a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] [[double battle]], [[invisible shiny Bulbasaur]] will be one of the two wild Pokémon. As a copy of the [[Player character|player]] still appears, sending out the DPbox, this could assume that they are somehow related. | |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In the American version of the game, DPbox appears in {{si|Victory Road}} when the player walks over water with [[Marley]].
| |
| *DPbox has been found to display a long line of lowercase ''d'''s that overlap three times as its name, before the player's Pokémon is sent out.
| |
| *When DPbox is encountered, neither the player's Pokémon nor the normal wild Pokémon actually use their programmed cries. In fact DPbox, both normal Pokémon, and [[invisible shiny Bulbasaur]] use Bulbasaur's cry in battle.
| |
| *DPbox's HP counter disappears after each Pokémon's animation sequence ends.
| |
| *The speed at which DPbox attacks depends directly on the speed of the player's Pokémon.
