A '''glitch''', also known as '''bug''', is a software error that can lead to unintended behavior in software like the [[Pokémon games]]. It can be triggered from mistakes within the game's code or by exploits that were not anticipated by the programmers, thus causing the game to react unexpectedly. Glitches present in Pokémon games may have diverse effects, such as the disruption of graphics or audio effects, the occurence of [[glitch Pokémon]], or the corruption of [[save]] data. When noticed, glitches may be fixed in further releases of a game by its developers. Starting in [[Generation V]], {{wp|Patch (computing)|patch}}es may be released that fix glitches in Pokémon games directly. | A '''glitch''', also known as '''bug''', is a software error that can lead to unintended behavior in software like the [[Pokémon games]].

Glitch Pokémon are caused by glitches that have the game erroneously read non-Pokémon data as Pokémon data. Although many glitch Pokémon draw all their characteristics from data, some glitch Pokémon may have partially defined characteristics not intended to be accessed in-game: in the case of [[MissingNo.]], for example, while its name appears to be well-defined, data intended to represent the parties of several {{tc|Biker|Bikers}} is read as its [[base stat]] data. | Glitch Pokémon are caused by glitches that have the game erroneously read non-Pokémon data as Pokémon data.
