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).

All MissingNo. are Pokédex number ([[Glitch Pokémon family|family]]) 0, which is coincidentally the same Pokédex number as 'M (00). However, only (English versions) 'M (00)/|3TRAINERPOKé₽ (00) are [[index number]] 0 (when distinguished from the Pokédex number, and some index number 0 Pokémon have non-0 Pokédex numbers, such as 176 for 3TRAINERPOKé₽).

MissingNo. is among the most well-known Pokémon glitches in the English player base, likely because it can be encountered through simple glitches and provide a means to duplicate items (see [[glitch Pokédex flags]]). It also typically but not always, appears identical to [[GlitchDex/RB:000|'M (00)]].
