'''Teru-sama''' (Japanese: '''カビチュウ''' ''Kabichū'') is a [[List of dummied out items|dummied-out]] [[item]] that serves as a placeholder for item data in the [[Generation II]] {{Pkmn|games}}. There are 29 variations in {{Game|Gold and Silver|s}} and 26 in {{Game|Crystal}}. Regardless of variation, it can be sold for {{PDollar}}19660. Its purpose is akin to [[Missingno.]] in the [[Generation I]] games.

There are 29 variations in {{Game|Gold and Silver|s}} and 26 in {{Game|Crystal}}. Regardless of variation, it can be sold for {{PDollar}}19660. Its purpose is akin to [[Missingno.]] in the [[Generation I]] games.


The Teru-sama is obtained by modifying the Bag's item data to include items with the following hexadecimal index numbers: 06, 19, 2D, 32, 38, 5A, 64, 73{{Sup/2|GS}}, 74{{Sup/2|GS}}, 78, 81{{Sup/2|GS}}, 87, 88, 89, 8D, 8E, 91, 93, 94, 95, 99, 9A, 9B, A2, AB, B0, B3, and BE.
The Teru-sama is obtained by modifying the [[Bag]]'s item data to include items with certain index numbers. Three Teru-sama located at specific index numbers become actual [[key item]]s when traded from Pokémon Gold and Silver to Pokémon Crystal, with the notable case of the [[GS Ball]]; when viewed in {{G|Stadium 2}}, these Teru-sama will show up as the corresponding Pokémon Crystal-exclusive item, even if the games connected to Pokémon Stadium 2 are Pokémon Gold and Silver. Two other Teru-sama are leftover items from Generation I and can be modified to include the <sc>Use</sc> option.


Three Teru-sama located at specific index numbers become actual [[key item]]s when traded from Pokémon Gold and Silver to Pokémon Crystal:
==Description==
* Index number 115 becomes [[GS Ball]]
{{Movedesc}}
* Index number 116 becomes [[Blue Card]]
{{Movedescentry|{{Gameabbrev3|GSC}}|?}}
* Index number 129 becomes [[Egg Ticket]].
|}
When viewed in {{G|Stadium 2}}, the Teru-sama will show up as the corresponding Crystal-exclusive item, even in Gold and Silver.

Two Teru-sama, after being modified to include the <code>USE</code> option onto them, actually have an effect. One brings up the [[Town Map]] from [[Generation I]]<!--, which displays the [[Kanto]] map for less than 1/10 of a second, then when returning to the item menu, the tiles become glitched-->, while the other is the Generation I [[Poké Flute]], which works exactly the same but remains silent.

In all the [[Generation II]] games, two Teru-sama actually have an effect after being modified to include the <sc>Use</sc> option onto them, which reveals that they are actually leftover items from the [[Generation I]] games:
* One brings up the old [[Town Map]]<!--, which displays the [[Kanto]] map for less than 1/10 of a second, then when returning to the item menu, the tiles become glitched-->;
* The other one is the [[Poké Flute]] and works exactly the same; however, the audio is absent.

==Name origin==
Teru-sama, as the English name, is likely a reference to '''''Teru'''ki Murakawa'', a programmer who appears listed on the staff of [[Staff of Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and [[Staff of Pokémon Crystal|Pokémon Crystal]] under "US Version Staff".

Its Japanese name, カビチュウ ''Kabichū'', could be a corruption of ガービッジ ''gābijji'', a {{Wp|wasei-eigo}} for "garbage". Since it is a placeholder for [[item]] data, with no otherwise useful purpose, it can refer to {{Jwp|ごみ (プログラミング)|ごみ}} ''gomi'' (also commonly spelled in katakana as ゴミ), the Japanese equivalent of {{Wp|Garbage (computer science)|garbage}} in programming jargon, although ごみ is used to refer to {{Wp|municipal solid waste}} as well. Of note is that カビ ''kabi'' is part of {{P|Snorlax}}'s Japanese name, '''カビ'''ゴン '''''Kabi'''gon'', while チュウ ''chū'' is part of the Japanese names of {{P|Pichu}}, {{P|Pikachu}}, and {{P|Raichu}}.
