  • In this video I show you how to find the most famous glitch Pokémon: Missingno. on Pokémon Red Version. It should also work on Pokémon Blue Version.
    Warning: DO NOT SAVE YOUR GAME AFTER DOING THIS.
    Okay, first step: fly from wherever you are to Viridian City. Talk to that old man who taught you how to catch Pokémon, and take that lesson again.
    After that, fly to Cinnabar Island and Surf along the East coast and the East coast only.
    As you can see, I've found two odd Lv. 80 Golduck. Missingno. appears at Lv. 146, but it may also appear at other level. Also, it may have another type of cry. Normally, Missingno.'s cry is a Nidoran♂'s voice with a pitch of 0 and no echo. I have already found a level 80 Missingno. with some sort of Dragonair-like cry.
    When you catch it and view its stats page, you can see that its cry changes to that of a Rhydon. Its type is Bird/Normal; the Bird type never existed and was never created. It is (legally) impossible to make any Pokémon go over Lv. 100, so, if Missingno. gets any Exp. from any battle, it will "grow" from Lv. 146 to Lv. 100.
    I've also checked the effects of this Pokémon in the game. It makes the trainer's sprite become reversed and all glitchy looking. Attacking the opponent makes its sprite become glitchy as well. When in battle, it will increase your item numbers in 6th slot to 255 if caught, or to 128 if not caught (not explored in the video). But besides this, Missingno. will completely corrupt your Hall of Fame data (if stats are viewed) until the stats of a normal Pokémon are viewed.
    Once again, DON'T SAVE YOUR GAME AFTER FINDING MISSINGNO.! I haven't tried it myself because it may corrupt the save data.
    Note: it is also possible you'll find 'M (another Glitch Pokémon) instead of Missingno. using this technic.
    I didn't use any cheat codes to find this glitch.

      Ikcuras20xx Quite a bit of wrong information sir
      Most of missingno’s are unused Pokémon sure, but the reason they share the same sprite and cry is because of their index number, they have different ID numbers but the index number is the same
      The reason the hall of fame gets corrupted is because his compressed sprite starts going out of bounds directly into the hall of fame data, corrupting it
      The other glitch Pokémon do the same, but except for missingno they are unused data, there could be 255 Pokémon but they only used some of the data.

    So many people are wrong about missingno. He was not an unfinished Pokémon, not yoshi, not an Easter egg, but an error that has to do with how 8bit games work and the extra spaces in the pokedex (264 total) and there are only 151, so the other numbers, are "missing numbers" (missingno.)

    For those who wonders what really happens:
    The game saves your name . This name has its own place in the game memory and stays there. The only time it is moved is when you have the old man catch a Pokémon for you. That's because it's the old man's name that appears in the battle screens, not yours. Internally, the memory then stores the name "Old Man" in the place where your player name was stored until then.
    So currently, when you go to the island, the trainer name is still in the field that tells you which Pokémon to hit. Normally, this information would be overwritten as soon as you enter a route with tall grass. Then the field is used to store the corresponding Pokémon.
    Before we get all the information together so far, it takes one last foray into the technology of the code for an explanation of what exactly MissingNo is in the first place.
    MissingNo stands for Missing Number. The fact that it exists is because all 151 Pokémon are recorded in a memory location. However, these memory locations - always powers of 2 - can have lots of space, so 1, 2, 4, 16, 128, 256 locations, and so on. The smallest unit to store 151 Pokémon has 256 spaces and therefore 105 too many. Now, an error or something like that can cause these unused spaces to be accessed - which is exactly what we're trying to do with the glitch. So that the code can give an answer here, there is MissingNo. It is simply a placeholder for the emergency.
    Exactly this emergency occurs on Vermilion Island. However, not always and immediately. As mentioned before, the info for new sections is overwritten as soon as you enter a new route. That happens here too, but we're on a water route. Water, as you know, doesn't have tall grass, so there's no wild Pokémon info stored for tall grass. So there is still the name of the trainer there.
    This name now comes together with an error in the code: The coastal section at Vermilion Island is defined as tall grass, not water. Therefore, the game accesses the last data stored in memory to find out which Pokémon should appear here.
    In our case: the trainer name. The letters of this name determine which Pokémon at which level you will now encounter. With certain combinations, this leads to MissingNo appearing because a number is being searched for that does not exist in the memory. More specifically, the familiar l-shaped MissingNo will appear if the third, fifth, or seventh position of the trainer's name contains either one of the letters G, H, J, M, S, T, :, ], a, b, c, m, o, p, or v, or the end mark. The latter is placed in the field after the name to indicate its end. Other letters in said places lead to other Pokémon, so MissingNo. need not appear. And whoever's trainer name doesn't fall into these defaults is out of luck, unfortunately.
    And why does this maximize the item count?
    The game stores two bits for each Pokémon, one for "Seen" and one for "Captured". If they are set to 0, it means no, 1 means yes, so you have seen or caught it. Since MissingNo is an unintentional exception, the bits for it are stored in other places. Namely at the place where the number of the item is stored at the sixth place in the bag.
    If you see MissingNo, a 1 is set here at the sixth place of the binary represented number. Therefore this is increased by 128. This also explains why the 99x for the specific item doesn't look right, because the game is actually trying to represent a number that can't be represented with two digits.
    And that's the whole secret of MissingNo, where exactly it comes from and why you can hit it at all.

    What makes missingno encounter scary is that long gap between the encounter and the start of the battle compared to normal encounter. It gives that ominous feeling that something bad is about to happen. Personally, I think the wild encounter music also adds into the creepy factor of encountering missingno.

      This long loading time is due to the decompression of the MissingNo sprite. The data in MissingNo's two sprites is somehow corrupted and far exceeds the normal size of a sprite. This causes a longer loading time but it is also what causes the corruption of the Pokemon League data because this data is located immediately after the space used to decompress the sprite and the MissingNo sprite data overflows into the pokemon league data space.

One holds HOF data, one the "main savefile" the other two 6 pc boxes each. The game always has the HOF one loaded, unless you just loaded in and have not seen a Pokémon sprite (so before you do any shenanigans, take a look at a non-glitch pokemon). Even if you manage to get the game stuck in a loop that overwrites the entire save with garbage (some other glitch pokemon do indeed cause this), you only ruin the HOF.

      Some versions of missingno use the cries of actual pokemon. However, most use the games equivalent of a blank cry- a nidoran♂️ (cry 0 in the data, the values ranging from 0 to 255) with a pitch of 0 and reverb of 0. Its form is usually dependent on the player's set name, more specifically certain letters, and with the right combinations you can find some real oddities, like the 3 versions that essentially duplicate the movement, stats and back sprite of the previous pokemon sent out in battle and the front sprites using those of the lavender tower ghosts when encountered without the silph scope and the two fossils found in the museum.

    Just for reference, the glitch that causes missingno has to do with the way the game references random pokemon in areas of the game. Every area has data linked to it that contains the pokemon that appear. If it cannot find that data, then it will use the data from the last area that you encountered a pokemon. This is where the old man comes in. In order to set his name to old man, the game hasto temporarily store your player name. It stores it in the place that holds the last area,causing glitch

    The amount of people that don't know the story behind the MissingNo is astonishing...I've played pokemon since the beginning, missingno was the "trick" used to max out pokemon and rare candy / master balls. This was around '97/98. MissingNo was a pokemon that was pulled from the game late in the production. They didn't remove all the code from the game due to the short time, just some major aspects. That's why you can duplicate items, the code of the game is buggy. Theoretically speaking, you can face MissingNo, defeat him and duplicate all the items you want, there shouldn't be any issues. The probability of a corrupted save is minimal, like 0,0115%. But if you catch MissingNo, i won't say it's a 50/50 chance of getting corrupted but it's pretty close. You can catch it but release it immediately!! And even then, the probability of corruption is high. As for experience, when i duped items, 1/50 or 1/100 games got corrupted and i'm not 100% sure it was because of the trick. When i caught missingno,5 or 6 out of 10 got corrupted and a couple more got corrupted as i advanced in the story line.
    All that said, the original pokemon MissingNo was the Kangaskhan cub that eventually evolved to a Kangaskhan. Try giving MissingNo a couple of rare candy. Either missingno or 'M will evolve to Kangaskhan.
    This is very very VERY old information, how do kids today don't know this?

    @the3rdx Před 9 lety +9

    There is absolutely no problem in catching the missingnos. Whenever your sprites are glitchy, use Missigno to fight against a wild Ditto. When your MissingNo has no visible attacks when you watched its stats earlier (which can happen), you should not try to see them in fight. So if that's the case, swap to MissingNo (or use item when it's your first Pokemon) in order to make Ditto transform into Missingno. Then just swap to another Pokemon and beat Ditto (not this easy if you haven't level enough, cause Ditto can use the hidden attacks - if they are hidden for you). After that fight all sprites (except hall of fame) are set to normal again. Until you resee the stats of MissingNo. I think the hall of fame stats should be reset when you beat it again.
    Hint: Also you can make 3 of the 4 attacks visible by giving MissingNo a TM. It will forget the first attack without even asking :(

    Edit: to fix the sprites breaking just keep resting to your last save after you have missingno.

    I wish this game had an end game side quest that was triggered by "Missing No" being transferred to Professor Oak's Computer. Once receiving this incongruent abomination of pixels, Prof Oak begins having an existential crisis that turns into a full on mental breakdown and detachment from his reality as he realizes he only exists as data in a game.

    Pokédex entry #000
    Missingno: The Glitch Pokémon
    Type: Normal/Bird
    You may encounter this Pokémon by surfing along the east coast of Cinnabar Island. Not much is known about Missingno, but theories point to it being a glitch in the code of reality.

    Well if someone is wondering what missingno is, like Ermac in MK he was an error, missing number was supposed to be Yoshi, but nintendo decided to scratch the idea on the last moment, so some of his codes can still be found, and why the game fucks up? because you are not supposed to find the error, hope this cast some light on the subject.

      Jiggsaw Puzzle What Raichuu26 said, they propably re-programed the game and deleted all traces of the error, but why one gotta do all that random stuff in order for him to appear I don't really know, maybe that was the requirement for Yoshi to appear in the first place? just a guess tho.

      @@markymark5198 You can just do it anytime after having Surf. I think Fly is probably not required but it makes things a heck of a lot easier.
      The Elite Four victory only serves to add the Hall of Fame list. If you encounter MissingNo. after a list has been made, it'll get scrambled and stay that way even if you reset the game without saving it.
