In the Generation I games, [[type]] data is represented by a byte. Only 27 of the values for type are defined (including the unused {{t|Bird}} type and the placeholder "Normal" types with index numbers between 9 and 19, of which 15 are used. The remaining 229 values for type are treated as garbage data. Some of the glitch types share names with valid types. | In the Generation I games, [[type]] data is represented by a byte.
