The ??? type | The ??? type does not exist in the coding of Generation I. It exists only in Generations {{gen|II}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}} solely to be the type of [[Pokémon eggs|Eggs]] and the [[Status moves|status move]] {{m|Curse}}. Unlike other types, the ??? type is not programmed to have weaknesses or resistances. | ||
Issues arise if damaging moves are hacked to be of this type in the Generation II or III games. Since it was considered neither a [[physical move|physical]] nor a [[special move|special]] move, the damage dealt by a ???-type move was minimal<!--how was it determined?-->, even if the move had the highest possible base power. | |||

It was retyped as {{type|Ghost}} move in [[Generation V]]. It is a {{type|Normal}} move in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series. | ||

The ??? type is not present in the coding of the [[Generation V]] games. This was possibly because making exceptions for a type that is used solely by a single, non-damaging move in the case that [[cheating|hackers]] would alter a Pokémon or move and [[game freeze|crash their game]] had become tiresome. Considering that the only other "official" uses of the ??? type had been the unavailable form of {{p|Arceus}} and the typing of eggs in [[Generation III]], the type itself was essentially useless. | The ??? type is not present in the coding of the [[Generation V]] games.
