===Eggs===
===Eggs===
[[Pokémon Egg]]s are displayed as being ???-type in [[Generation III]] on their status screen, to maintain the fact that the identity of the Pokémon inside is supposed to be unknown. This does not appear in [[Generation II]], which uses a special status screen for Pokémon Eggs different from that of normal Pokémon, and was removed in [[Generation IV]], when the section of a Pokémon's status screen that displays type was separated from where it was met. From Generation IV on, Eggs are considered as {{type|Normal}} Pokémon by the game.

{{p|Arceus}} has the Ability {{a|Multitype}}, which changes its type and appearance depending on the [[Plate]] it is holding. Likely as a precaution for Arceus hacked to be ???-type, a ???-type sprite of Arceus is present in {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}; however, it is never otherwise used without hacking.

In the event Arceus is hacked to be in this form, it will still be Normal-type (or whatever type of plate it is holding) since the coloring of Arceus in each form is solely aesthetic, and the type is actually determined by Multitype. There is no way to make Arceus actually ???-type, and even when it's sent into battle it will revert to the appropriate form.

The moves {{m|Wide Slash}}, {{m|Vacuum-Cut}}, {{m|Spin Slash}}, and {{m|Excavate}} have the ??? type.  


While Excavate is an unobtainable [[status move]] and Vacuum-Cut deals fixed damage akin to {{m|Sonic Boom}}, Wide Slash is a [[physical move]] which follows standard damage calculations. Both damaging moves bypass {{a|Wonder Guard}} and do not usually receive {{STAB}}.

==Retirement==
==Retirement==
The ??? type is not present in the coding of the [[Generation V]] games, since Eggs had not displayed types from Generation IV onward and the type of {{m|Curse}} was newly changed to {{t|Ghost}}. This was possibly because it necessitated making many special cases that would otherwise be unnecessary. Since the only official use of the type at the time of its retirement was for a single non-damaging move, the type itself was essentially useless.
The ??? type is not present in the core series games from [[Generation V]] onward, as Eggs were changed in [[Generation IV]] to not display a type at all, and the only move which used the type, {{m|Curse}}, was changed to be {{t|Ghost}} type.
