'''Missingno.''' (Japanese: '''けつばん''' ''Ketsuban'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bird|Normal}} [[glitch Pokémon]] in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}, and a dual-type {{2t|Normal|999}} [[glitch Pokémon]] in {{v|Yellow}}. Due to the ease of which it can be found, it is one of the best-known glitch Pokémon.

In later generations, other glitch Pokémon are referred to as "a Missingno.", despite there being little relation to the one found in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}} or {{v|Yellow}}.

Missingno.'s cry is the game's equivalent of a "blank" cry: a {{p|Nidoran♂}}'s voice with a pitch of 0 and no echo. However, a few Missingno. have different cries, such as a [[Rhydon]]'s cry.

If Missingno.'s Pokédex data is viewed, it will consist of a very long string of glitchy sounds, much like [[.4]] or [[h POKé]]'s entries. However, unlike their entries, Missingno.'s does not lock up the game.

===Normal form===
===Normal form===
Missingno. normal form has a sprite that is a strange block of glitched pixels in a backward-L shape. Due to the larger number of characters that can be used to make it appear, it is the most common form. Normal form is exclusive to {{2v|Red|Blue}}.

==={{v|Yellow}} form===
==={{v2|Yellow}} form===
Missingno. {{v|Yellow}} form is {{2t|Normal|999}}, whereas Missingno. forms in {{2v|Red|Blue}} are {{2t|Bird|Normal}}. It uses the palette of {{p|Pikachu}}, and so appears as a yellow and red glitched box. It also causes glitches that Missingno. in {{2v|Red|Blue}} did not. If caught, it will cause graphical glitches, possibly rendering the player invisible and making duplicates of the player and all other on-screen characters walk in random locations on the screen. Yellow form is exclusive to {{v|Yellow}}.

* This form does not appear through the [[old man glitch]], as the old man glitch was removed in {{v|Yellow}}.

Missingno.'s appearance in-battle allows the [[Item duplication glitch#Missingno. item duplication glitch|item duplication glitch]], which increases the number of items in the 6th bag slot by 128 unless the number of items in the slot already exceeds 128.

Missingno. can be traded from Red and Blue into {{game|Yellow}}, but cannot be traded forward through the [[Time Capsule]] into {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. In Yellow, Missingno. levels down to level 1 if it gains any experience, and cannot grow any higher. The only way to use a Missingno. at a different level in battle is to use a [[link cable]] to battle between two games.

In the trade center, Missingno., due to its [[index number]], appears as many different [[Generation II]] Pokémon from the perspective of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, most commonly {{p|Tyrogue}} (due to the common name of ASH in Generation I). For a full list of the Generation II Pokémon Missingno. can appear as, see [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)]]. If the player tries to trade Missingno., a message will appear stating "''Your <name> appears abnormal''." and the trade will automatically be cancelled. Rarely, if a Missingno. is successfully traded, it will become the Pokémon it was said to be, and act normally (though it will retain any and all moves it had as a Missingno.). At this point, it only may be traded back into the Generation I game while the player is still in the Time Capsule (where it will again become a Missingno.), as if the player leaves, the Generation II game will detect it as a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and not allow the player to enter the Time Capsule.
