Summary[]
MissingNo. is a dual Bird/Normal-type Glitch Pokémon from the first generation. Unlike other Glitch Pokémon, it is not only easy to encounter but also the only one whose name contains only regular letters. This makes it the most well-known glitch Pokémon.
There exists actually 39 different kinds of MissingNo. 36 of those are considered the regular form of MissingNo. and resemble a glitchy reversed L. The last 3 are the "Special MissingNo.", represented by a skeletal Aerodactyl, a skeletal Kabutops and the ghost Marowak found in Lavender Town. While the 36 regular MissingNo. possesses set characteristics, the characteristics of the Special MissingNo. are taken from the last Pokémon in the player's party.
In Pokémon Yellow, MissingNo. works a bit differently. Its regular form is replaced with a yellow one taking cues from Pikachu's color palette. It is a dual Normal/999-type Pokémon. This version is not as safe as the Red and Blue version, and it is known to crash the game more often.

MissingNo. exists as the absence of data for a nonexistent pokémon species. All of its characteristics except for its name are derived from this void attempting to use incompatible data around it to fill it. While this data is materialized in a physical form and can be attacked by anyone, MissingNo.'s true self remains unreachable, due to lacking one in the first place. Its true level of nonexistence is not clear, but as it does not exist in the very data of the game itself, it should be beyond the game's narrative idea of not existing), limited Abstract Existence (Type 1. It is large than data about its existence would allow, meaning part of its body exists purely as information, overwriting parts of the data that rules over reality), Shapeshifting (Can take many different forms), Power Mimicry (The Special MissingNo. can take the abilities and statistics of a pokémon in the party), Void Manipulation (Can cause the entire game to crash), Large Size (type 0.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
-Glitch Abilities
- Duplication: One of MissingNo.'s most useful aspects is its ability to duplicate items. A specific item in one's inventory will have its number increased to 128 instantly. In an unrelated glitch, it can passively cause certain beings to randomly duplicate around it.
- Sprite Glitch: MissingNo. causes severe issues with graphics when it appears. This can lead to characters being duplicated as stated above, but it can also cause sprites to be scrambled or shredded just from its sheer presence.
- Crash: MissingNo. appearing before an enemy has a chance to cause the game to crash. This effectively destroys the game world, forcing the player to load a previous state of the game. MissingNo. itself isn't immune to this effect, however.
- Health Bar: MissingNo.'s health bar is rendered through non-numerical symbols. This essentially means that defeating MissingNo. through regular attacks is impossible, as its health bar will never reach zero and instead simply scroll through different characters.
- Glitch Physiology: As a glitch, MissingNo. does not exist as a regular being. Instead, it is a manifestation of the absence of data on a particular Pokémon. When this Pokémon is forced to appear, it takes a variety of pieces of incompatible information in its surroundings and forces them to become its characteristics. As a result, MissingNo.'s true self lacks any characteristics whatsoever and is simply a vacuum of identity. As this nonexistence is on the level of the data of the game, it is beyond the notions of existence and nonexistence present strictly within the world of the game.
