By doing the [[Missingno.]] trick or using other cheats, a [[Pokémon]] can temporarily acquire a level higher than 100. However, whenever this [[Pokémon]] gains any amount of [[experience]], its level will revert to 100.
By exploiting the [[Missingno.]] glitch in Generation I or using other cheats, a [[Pokémon]] can temporarily acquire a level higher than 100. However, whenever this [[Pokémon]] gains any amount of [[experience]], its level will revert to 100.


In Generations I and II, Pokémon assigned to the [[Experience#Experience to level|"Medium Slow" experience formula]] (1,059,860 Exp. at level 100) were unavailable at a level below 2 due to the "Medium Slow" formula generating a negative Exp. value at level 1; this resulted in such a level 1 Pokémon jumping straight to level 100. Pokémon eggs, therefore, hatched at a standard level of 5. The Generation III overhaul addressed this error; however, eggs still hatched at level 5, likely to maintain continuity. Generation IV finally set all hatched eggs to level 1.
