I somehow hacked my way to getting missingno on leafgreen. It has 591 hp, 502 attack and sp attack. But it has 79 special defense though. 449 speed, and its defense is about average. Can't pal park it though...:(

Mmm.. I don't believe this...

It doesn't dry up the battery, but it can damage the save file and the game code permanently, making it unplayable.

That's a common misconception. MissingNo. doesn't do anything but screw with the graphics a bit, and even that goes back to normal after awhile.

I kind of want to say that that is also a misconception, but the other glitch Pokemon haven't been documented as well as MissingNo. so the extent of their damage is mostly hearsay and rumour.

I know that some can freeze the game, but actually deleting your file is a matter of debate.
 
I pondered about Missingno.
Is it even tradible in Diamond,Pearl,and Platinum.
If so Ill trade someone.
 
uuh..sorry i got distracted to many letters,besides i ain`t much of a glitch person..)8
 
I love him to death! He is my favorite Pokemon ever and you can tell by the amount of people I creep out.
 
I used the name 'H' when I started the game, so I've only ever seen MissingNo. once through a glitch I did (trading with NPCs and then going to the place you find him usually). However me and 'M go back a long way.
 
I have a question abou this Missigno..Im not an idiot, I know what it is. But how does it mess up other games? I had several in my Blue version, it got screwed. then I tryed to play my silver version, and when I finished, i saved and turned off. and for 9 months, my silver version would not save, just reset. It works fine now, but I believe there is more to missingno that just a glitch. I had a friend who went through the same thing, and his bayleef had a "." at the end of its name when he started the game back up on his Gold version. Is it more of a virus? and is it somehow possible to use that time travel thing and bring it to silver,than crystal?
 
No, MISSINGNO was not the problem with your Silver version game. Silver and Gold are notorious for having cheap, crappy saving batteries. They dry up after a while. It happens to everybody on those games.

As for transferring it to Silver and Gold? Not likely. Silver and Gold versions have a check to make sure that the Pokemon being traded are valid. It checks to make sure the Index number is a real Pokemon (Missingno, being 0, would immediately be denied), makes sure that the level is valid (So it is not level 0, or past level 100), and makes sure that the moves are real moves. If it finds that it is not a valid Pokemon, it will be denied as "abnormal" and the game will refuse to have it traded. If you are able to trade it between Red, Blue, and Yellow, it's because these bound-checking procedures didn't exist in the first generation.
 
Actually, some earlier versions of the game allow for Missingno. to be traded cross-generation. It usually appears as Stantler or Girafarig, and will return to Missingno. if traded back.

The batteries in Gold and Silver are normal CR2025 batteries. The real problem is that the real‐time clock drains the battery much more quickly than normal.

Wasn't this only true for glitch Pokemon that had a valid index number in GSC? I thought MISSINGO (as opposed to LM4 and the likes) had the index number 000, which was invalid GSC as well.
