'''Teru-sama''' (Japanese: '''カビチュウ''' ''Kabichū'') is a [[glitch]] [[item]] that appears in [[Generation II]]. There are 29 variations in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, and 26 in {{v2|Crystal}}. It appears to have no other use than to be sold for {{PDollar}}19660. It is kept in <!--either the [[key item]]s or -->the items pocket<!--, depending on the index number-->. Teru-sama is a data filler between actual items in [[Generation II]], like [[Missingno.]] is filler between Pokémon in [[Generation I]].

==Name origin==
'''Teru-sama''' (Japanese: '''{{j|カビチュウ}}''' ''Kabichū'') is a group of dummy [[item]]s that serve as fillers for the internal item list in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. There are 29 variations of Teru-sama in Gold and Silver and 25 in Crystal.
Teru-sama can literally be translated from Japanese as "Lord Sunshine" or "Master Sunshine", coming from the word ''Teru'' (''Sunshine'' or ''to Shine'') and the suffix ''-sama'' (an honorific that shows extreme respect and is most often translated as "lord" or "master"). It is possible that ''-sama'' is actually a typographic error, and that the name should be ''Teru-tama'', which would translate as "Sunshine Ball", which ties in with the [[GS Ball]]. Despite this, its Japanese name is completely different.


==Use==
==In the core series games==
Teru-sama located at certain index numbers can become Crystal-exclusive items when traded into Crystal. Index number 115 becomes a [[GS Ball]], index number 116 becomes a [[Blue Card]], and index number 129 becomes an [[Egg Ticket]]. When viewed in {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, the Teru-sama will show up as the corresponding Crystal item, even in Gold and Silver.
===Price===
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 {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}} for storing money data. The Generation II games instead use plain binary integers 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 Gold and Silver.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Gold_and_Silver#Teru-sama Pokémon Gold and Silver - The Cutting Room Floor] (price info courtesy of IIMarckus)</ref>


Two Teru-sama, through hacking a "use" option onto them, actually have an effect. One brings up the [[Town Map]]; it displays the [[Kanto]] map for less than 1/10 of a second, then when returning to the item menu, the tiles become glitched. Another item is the [[Poké Flute]], which works exactly the same as in [[Generation I]] ({{status|sleep|waking up}} a Pokémon in battle), but remains silent.

===Effect===
[[File:Labeled Teru-Sama GoldSilver-KOR.png|thumb|Teru-sama 0x46, 0x73, and 0x74 (Korean Gold and Silver)]]
Teru-sama IDs 0x46, 0x73, 0x74, and 0x81 are items in Crystal and {{g|Stadium 2}}. They are respectively the [[Clear Bell]], [[GS Ball]], [[Blue Card]], and [[Egg Ticket]]. Save for 0x81, these Teru-sama were renamed in Korean Gold and Silver to match the names of the corresponding items in Crystal.
 
Teru-sama IDs 0x06 and 0x38 are respectively the [[Town Map]] and [[Poké Flute]] from Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow and they can be enabled by hacking in the "USE" option. The Town Map is faulty and causes bugs; the Poké Flute still works, although the audio only plays if used on a {{status|sleep}}ing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} outside of {{pkmn|battle}}. The Poké Flute also does not affect the sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} in [[Vermilion City]].

Teru-sama IDs 0x19, 0x2D, 0x32, 0x5A, 0x64, 0x78, 0x87, and 0xBE occupy item ID slots which would be unsuitable for containing obtainable items, as they are [[List of Pokémon by wild held item (Generation II)|replaced upon trading from Generation I to Generation II]].
 
All other items called "Teru-sama" (item IDs not mentioned above) serve no practical purpose other than to be sold.

===Acquisition===
:''See [[List of items by index number (Generation II)]] for the Teru-sama item IDs.''
By performing the [[Celebi Egg glitch]] with a [[move]] ID value equal to that of an item ID, the player can obtain a Teru-sama.
 
==In other languages==
Teru-sama, as the English and European name of the item, may be a reference to [[Teruki Murakawa]], a member of the [[staff of Pokémon Gold and Silver|staff of Pokémon Gold, Silver,]] and [[Staff of Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]]. ''sama'' is a {{wp|Japanese honorific}} used for people of higher status than oneself.
 
The Japanese name ''Kabichū'' ({{j|カビチュウ}}) is meaningless but it combines ''kabi'' ({{j|カビ}}) from {{p|Snorlax|Kabigon}} ({{j|カビゴン}})—potentially in reference to programmer [[Kōji Nishino]]—and ''chū'' ({{j|チュウ}}) from {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}}.<ref>[http://wiki.ポケモン.com/wiki/カビチュウ {{j|カビチュウ - ポケモンWiki}}] <small>{{j|「おそらくカビゴンのカビとピカチュウのチュウを合わせて開発者の遊び心で造られた言葉と考えられる。」}}</small></ref>
 
Its Korean name is just the {{wp|Halfwidth and fullwidth forms|fullwidth}} question mark "{{k|？}}".
