'''Glitch Unown''' are a part of the game's RAM which is erroneously translated as an {{p|Unown}}'s entry in the [[Unown Dex]] in [[Generation II]].
'''Glitch Unown''' (Japanese: '''バグアンノーン''' ''Bug Unknown'') are invalid Unown in the [[Unown Mode]] in [[Generation II]].

Normally the Unown Dex should display for each entry an Unown. This limits the valid values to 26,
Normally the Unown Mode should display an entry for each Unown. This limits the valid values to 26, while there are 256 possible values. For this reason there are 230 hexadecimal values in the Unown Mode where the data no longer consists of a valid Unown's picture and name. Index numbers past 26 presumably represent unrelated data encoded as "Unown" data.

To register a [[glitch]] Unown in the Unown Dex, the player may obtain a [[Five question marks#Hex FF)|????? (Hex FF)]] as a bad clone from the [[Celebi Egg glitch]]. If the ????? is placed as the first Pokémon in the party, the player can use the "MOVE {{PK}}{{MN}} W/O MAIL" option to withdraw over 6 Pokémon.

This corrupts RAM data located past the expected end of the [[Pokémon data structure in Generation II|Pokémon data structure]], although there are only a limited amount of Pokémon that the player can withdraw before the game freezes.

If details about a 'post-6' Pokémon conflicts with data about Pokémon in the Unown Dex, then it is possible to replace entries with glitch Unown, provided that the player already has the Unown Dex, for example the index number of the current fourth move's PP of Pokémon #11 conflicts with RAM data associated with the first Unown.

It is possible to replace the first Unown with a glitch Unown this way provided that the player used [[PP Up]]s to raise its associated index number past 26.

A [[glitch]] Unown can trigger several other glitches when displayed, including corruption of the [[Pokédex]], corrupted graphics, the [[Trainer House glitch]], corruption of the saved file, and/or the [[Glitch dimension]] effect. The message "No windows available for popping" may also appear. Glitch messages, which will be placed directly in the player's mailbox (listed below), may appear as well.
