Glitch text is text that is completely random text that makes no sense what so ever and usually contains glitchy blocks being used as characters. Many Glitch Pokémon have glitch text in their name.
Glitch text results when a name or block of text uses characters with bad identifiers. Identifiers, which are similar to character codes in computer text encoding, are used to identify various kinds of data. Each type of data gets 255 identifiers. Often, many identifiers go unused and are filled with junk data. Glitch text results when such identifiers are used as text. Glitch text is to text what MISSINGNO. is to Pokémon.
