MissingNo. (Yellow version)
Pokemon #000
Type 1/Normal, Type 2/(random glitches, usually with 9's - changes)
Hex Value: Various
Starting Moves: Water Gun, Bind, Pay Day
R/B Equivalent: MissingNo.
MissingNo can be found in Yellow version only by performing the
Mew Trick with trainers other than the
Slowpoke Youngster. Several trainers reported to yield MissingNos
include some of the Channelers inside Lavender Tower (such as the
one in the center of the room on the third floor) and the Rocker
on Rt. 12.
Unlike MissingNo in Red/Blue, this MissingNo seems to cause many
problems. Sometimes simply encountering this MissingNo can freeze
the game. Viewing your Pokemon's status while battling this wild
MissingNo can also freeze your game. Sometimes you may get messages
such as "MissingNo is trying to learn" or "MissingNo
learned!" before the game freezes.
Many graphical glitches can result from battling MissingNo in Yellow
version. If it is caught and used in battle, the opponent's graphics
may become reversed. After defeating or running from the wild MissingNo,
sprites of people (including your sprite) will be walking all over
the screen (this can usually be returned to normal after using Fly
or leaving the affected area). Pikachu may act strangely as well.
There are reports that some of these graphical glitches are permanent
unless the game is restarted. It has also been known to turn off
all sound except the 'warning' beep when your Pokemon's HP is low.
Additionally, there are reports of a second battle starting immediately
following the Yellow MissingNo battle.
It is reported that catching Yellow MissingNo is extremely difficult
because it dodges all Poke Balls except for Master Balls.
