Charizard 'M
Type 1 Fire/ Type 2 Flying (if Charizard version)
Hex Value: FF
Starting Moves: unknown
Yellow Equivalent: Q

Learned Moves: Lv. 9: Swords Dance, Lv. 11: Slam, Lv. 19: TM50, Lv. 28: Nameless attack, Lv. 30: TM09, Lv. 32: Aurora Beam, Lv. 33: TM29, Lv. 40: Karate Chop, Lv. 62: "Jack"/Nameless attack again. If you don't teach it one of the glitch moves it will try to re-learn them at later levels.

Charizard 'M can be encountered by using a GameShark code with the value FF (for 255) as the Pokemon value. It can also be obtained by trading Q from Yellow to R/B. Additionally, it can be obtained by unplugging and replugging a link cable during a trade.

Charizard 'M has an ID of 00000 and an OT of [blank]. Sometimes the OT will be the trainer's name with several letters wrong. This means that you are unable to change its nickname. The status sprite outside of battle appears as Charizard with 'M's colors, but in battle it looks like a normal Charizard. Its cry is short and staticky.

Although Charizard 'M seems to be the most common form (possibly caused by a blank spot in your party), this glitch can also be a glitched version of other Pokemon, such as Gengar, Machop, or Butterfree. A Gengar form of this glitch appeared after a trainer used the Extended Mew Trick to obtain a regular Gengar. The glitch will have the same elemental types as the other Pokemon, but will learn very different level-up moves.

There are strange reports that if you store a Charizard 'M in a PC box with two other Pokemon, you may be able to transfer the moves of one non-glitched Pokemon to the other. You may also turn one of the normal Pokemon into another Charizard 'M. These effects occur depending on the order in which the Pokemon are withdrawn.

If you place a Charizard 'M first in your party, the rest of the Pokemon you are carrying will not appear (similar to the effects of the Cooltrainer move). Charizard 'M can not be healed at a Pokemon Center, but you can effectively use items on it.

Depositing Charizard 'M in the PC has been known to freeze the game, although there is a chance that it can be deposited without any ill effects.
