'''Teru-sama''' (Japanese: '''カビチュウ''' ''Kabichū'') is a filler for the internal [[item]] list in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}. It can be obtained by using [[glitch]]es.


==Purpose==
Teru-sama can be sold for {{PDollar}}19,660 at [[Poké Mart]]s. The buy price of {{PDollar}}39,321 is 0x9999 in hexadecimal or 9999 in {{wp|binary-coded decimal}} (BCD), the latter being the format used by the [[Generation I]] games for storing money data. The Generation II games instead use plain {{wp|binary integer}}s for money instead of BCD; however, the buy Teru-sama price uses the old format, suggesting that they were added early in the development of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Gold_and_Silver#Teru-sama Pokémon Gold and Silver - The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>
The Teru-sama is akin to [[Missingno.]] in the [[Generation I]] games; it was created by the [[Game Freak]] developers as a filler for the empty spaces in the internal item list of the games' {{wp|ROM cartridge|ROM}}. Beyond this purpose, it can be sold for {{PDollar}}19660.

By modifying the [[Bag]]'s item data to include items with certain index numbers or by performing the [[Celebi Egg glitch]] with a [[move]]'s index number that matches the index number of the item, the player can obtain a Teru-sama. There are 29 variations of it in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and 25 in {{game|Crystal}}, with three of them having unique effects in all games (when forced to have a Use option).

The following Teru-sama become exclusive {{game|Crystal}} [[key item]]s when traded from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. In the Korean versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver, these Teru-sama (except for the {{key|II|Egg Ticket}}) were renamed to match Pokémon Crystal but they are otherwise unchanged. When viewed in {{g|Stadium 2}}, they show up as the exclusive item from Pokémon Crystal, even if the games connected to the [[Transfer Pak]] are Pokémon Gold and Silver.

In all the [[Generation II]] games, Teru-sama with index numbers '''0x06''' and '''0x38''' actually have an effect after being modified to include the Use option onto them, which reveals that they are actually leftover items from the [[Generation I]] games.
In the Korean versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver, these Teru-sama (except for the {{key|II|Egg Ticket}}) were renamed to match Pokémon Crystal but they are otherwise unchanged.


* Teru-sama '''0x06''' works as a faulty version of the old [[Town Map]].

* Teru-sama '''0x38''' is the [[Poké Flute]] and works exactly the same; however, the audio only plays if used on a {{status|Sleep|sleeping}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} outside of {{pkmn|battle}}. It also does not affect the sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} in [[Vermilion City]].

Teru-sama 0xBE can also be used but it triggers an invalid pointer, indicating that it was likely never intended to support the function.

Teru-sama, as the Western name, may be a reference to [[Teruki Murakawa]], a member from the [[Staff of Pokémon Gold and Silver|staff of Pokémon Gold, Silver,]] and [[Staff of Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]] listed as a programmer under "US Version Staff" in the English versions and in the staff of the European versions. He is also mentioned as being part of "Korean Coordination" in the staff of the Korean versions.

The Japanese name ''Kabichū'' (カビチュウ) is meaningless but it combines ''kabi'' (カビ) from {{p|Snorlax|Kabigon}} (カビゴン) and ''chū'' (チュウ) from {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, or {{p|Raichu}}.
