3Trainer Poke can be obtained by trading an 'M from Red or Blue to a Yellow version. It can also be obtained by using the Gameshark code 0100D7CF. If traded from Red or Blue version, it will keep its original name and attacks, but its species, number, and type will change on the second page of its stats. On the first page of stats, its name will remain as 'M. 3Trainer Poke's cry is the sound of using a Potion on your Pokemon.

If encountered in the wild (by using the Gameshark code), 3TrainerPoke will be poisoned when he appears. Like 'M, 3TrainerPoke will not disappear if caught. However, the glitched block will change into two thin vertical lines after 3TrainerPoke is caught the first time.

Since 3TrainerPoke's name is longer than the allowed 10 characters in a normal Pokemon's name, graphical glitches can occur when viewing 3TrainerPoke in your party.

There are reports of 3TrainerPoke starting with Bubblebeam, Poison Sting, and Comet Punch (caught using the Gameshark code) and having the back sprite of a Tentacool. After growing to level 1, the glitch's moves changed to Waterfall, Waterfall, Comet Punch, and Vicegrip.

Like 'M, a traded 3Trainer Poke will attempt to evolve into Kangaskhan after gaining any experience. There are reports that the game freezes if 3Trainer Poke is sent to a PC box. Using a 3TrainerPoke in battle can cause graphical glitches, make the HP bar stretch across the screen, and sometimes freeze the game.

3Trainer Poke can also be found by unplugging and replugging a Link Cable during battle. In Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2, this glitch will appear as a normal Dratini who knows Wrap, Surf, Waterfall, and HM01. During the link battle, Yellow version says the Pokemon is Dratini, but Blue version says it's 'M. After the battle, the Yellow version trainer may still have 3Trainer Poke. This "Dratini" evolves into Kangaskhan (keeping all of its original moves) after growing a level.
