'''Missing Number''' (Japanese: '''けつばん''' ''Ketsuban'', lit. "Missing Number"), referred to by Nintendo of America as '''MissingNo.''', and appearing in-game as '''MISSINGNO.''' refers to a group of glitch Pokémon that act as fillers for vacant slots.
Most of the data pertaining to MissingNo. is clearly glitched and unintentional (and there is no error prevention, unlike for example the placeholder sprite loaded in place for the Generation III glitch Pokémon [[??????????]]) and in itself MissingNo. is not a legitimate Pokémon, but [[Partially unused and glitched|curiously some data]] like nine of the MissingNo. cries are leftover development remnants. During the development of Pokémon Red, Green and Blue, the index numbers of many of the MissingNo. were instead occupied by [https://tcrf.net/
The index numbers for "MissingNo." entries appear in between valid Pokémon
While technically there can be 256 indexed species (2^8 entries in one byte), the other glitch Pokémon only exist after Victreebel (190) with names not programmed into the game but extrapolated from unrelated data beyond [https://github.com/pret/pokered/blob/2954013da1f10e11db4ec96f9586b7c01706ae1a/data/pokemon/names.asm MonsterNames] encoded as if they were Pokémon names. ([[GlitchDex/RB:000|'M (00)]]/[[GlitchDex/Y:000|3TRAINERPOKé₽ (00)]] can be interpreted as both the index 256 or index 0 Pokémon).

====Via evolutions====
MissingNo. itself cannot evolve (through level-up, stone or trade) (unlike 'M (00)), however other glitch Pokémon can evolve into it.

*Some other glitch Pokémon (known as [[arbitrary learnset/evolution glitch Pokémon]]) can also theoretically evolve into any Pokémon or glitch Pokémon, including MissingNo.
After the evolutions have finished, both glitch Pokémon will look like this on the evolution screen:

MissingNo. is sometimes used as a general term for every glitch Pokémon, but this is a misnomer, as not all glitch Pokémon are called MissingNo., and MissingNo. is a placeholder name rather than an error handler per se.
In [[bp:Generation IV|Generation IV]], there is a sprite that reads 'missing number' (けつばん) in kanji (欠番) but it is not related to the glitch Pokémon MissingNo. and the name MissingNo. from Generation I.<ref>[http://
