===Bird===
The '''Bird type''' (Japanese: '''{{j|とりタイプ}}''' ''Bird type'') is an unused type in the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games. This type is not part of the type matchup chart.
 
The table below shows all the defined types as of Generation II by index order.

In the English versions of the Generation I games, the [[Gym guide]] of [[Vermilion Gym]] refers to Flying-type Pokémon as "bird Pokémon", which was mistakenly adjusted to Bird-type Pokémon in the English versions of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In the Japanese versions of the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen, he clearly mentions types and correctly identifies the Flying type as {{j|ひこうタイプ}} ''Flying type''.
 
In the [[Pokémon anime]], especially the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub, the Flying type is often mistakenly referred to as the Bird type. It is also mentioned in ''[[Song of Origin]]'', the Japanese ending for ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.
 
This type is commonly known in the Western fandom due to the [[glitch Pokémon]] [[MissingNo.]] and [['M (00)]] having it as one of their types in the English versions of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

The ??? type is the only type to have been removed from the [[core series]] games. The ??? type only existed from [[Generation II]] to [[Generation IV]] and was primarily used in the core series as the type of the move {{m|Curse}}. It was removed in [[Generation V]], and Curse became a {{type|Ghost}} move. The ??? type deals and takes regular damage from all other types, though this is never seen in the core series<!--but is outside of it, e.g. Shadow Rush in Colosseum only, where it is specifically listed as ???-type, Weather Ball in Shadow Sky, Mystery Dungeon-exclusive moves--> due to no Pokémon nor damaging moves having the type.
The ??? type is found in the [[Generation II]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}} games and was primarily used in the core series as the type of the move {{m|Curse}}. It was removed in [[Generation V]], in which Curse became a {{type|Ghost}} move.
 
This type is defined between physical and special types. Similarly to the Bird type, it is not part of the type matchup chart.
 
===Shadow===
[[Shadow move]]s do not display any type on the [[summary]] or battle menus. In {{g|Colosseum}}, the only Shadow move deals regular damage against all Pokémon, while in {{Pokémon XD}}, they are super effective against non-[[Shadow Pokémon]] and not very effective against Shadow Pokémon.

===Anime-specific types===
[[Shadow move]]s do not display any type on the [[summary]] or battle menus. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], the only Shadow move deals regular damage against all Pokémon, while in {{Pokémon XD}}, they are super effective against non-[[Shadow Pokémon]] and not very effective against Shadow Pokémon.
Anime-related media such as ''Song of Origin'' and ''[[2.B.A. Master]]'' has sometimes referred to types like Gas and Flame. These types have not been included in the games.
