Five question marks
This glitch is in need of research. Reason: Sprites and base stats You can discuss this on the talk page. |

- The title of this article is incorrect because of technical limitations. The correct title is ?????.
????? is a glitch Pokémon that appears in Generation II games. It is the result of forcing a nonexistent Pokémon numbered 000, 252, 254, or 255 to appear (since 253 is used for eggs).
Appearance
Although all of the variants of ????? appear identical (as just a nonsensical assortment of various graphics from other parts of the game), they each use a different palette. For example, #252 appears gold and #000 appears blue.
All variations of ????? lack their own battle sprites besides the one seen by the Trainer battling it. When a Trainer uses any variation of ?????, it will borrow the last sprite used in the battle area. This can be the original Trainer that appears before the battle starts, or another Pokémon that has been switched out. Any of these sprites will have the color palette that the particular form of ????? uses.
Since such data is undefined, the basic tileset source of the sprite of any variation of ????? depends on the last interface loaded into the game's RAM, this is usually the previous tileset basis of the main map interface, but if the player opens the bag then closes it the game will attempt to use the menu as a source for the sprite of ?????.
When viewing the status screen of any ?????, it may not render correctly and may even cause the game to stop functioning correctly. Usually the status screen reports an abnormal value under "level up" that indicates the quantity required to reach the next level. Different forms of ????? have different types. The game will often display that one of these glitches is a Shiny Pokémon.
Obtaining
All variants of ????? can only be obtained through the Celebi egg glitch. Attempting to trade 'M onto Gold and Silver Versions will cause it to appear as a ????? with an index number of 00.
Pokédex data
Unlike some variants of ??????????, all of the ????? glitches have Pokédex data which is undefined; however, all of the ????? glitches have a footprint. The footprint is identical to that of Donphan with 000, 252, 254, or 255 printed in the middle of it for the form with the same index number.

Cloaking abilities
????? Hex FF it will act as 'cancel' on the party Pokémon screen. ????? cannot be healed via a Pokémon Center as the game will take it to be the end Pokémon slot. Therefore, if this glitch is placed above other Pokémon in the party screen, those Pokémon also cannot be healed. However, ????? and the Pokémon below it can be healed with items.
This type of ????? cannot be deposited because it will replace itself and all Pokémon below it with "CANCEL".
The hexadecimal FF variant of this glitch can be taken into the Time Capsule 'hide' the Pokémon below it which did not exist in Generation I. "CANCEL" is allowed through the time machine because it is essential on all Generation I and Generation II Pokémon games. Any Pokémon below it will appear as the glitch Pokémon in the Generation I Pokémon game with the equivalent index number.
