'''Missing Number''' (Japanese: '''けつばん''' ''Ketsuban'', lit. "Missing Number"), displayed in-game as '''MissingNo.''', refers to a group of glitch Pokémon that act as fillers for vacant slots. For each version, there are 39 separate MissingNo. slots. Three particular examples also serve a specific purpose throughout the game; as the Kabtops Fossil, the Aerodactyl Fossil, and Pokémon Tower Ghost.
Most data pertaining to MissingNo. is clearly glitched and unintentional (and there is no error prevention, unlike for example the sprites of Generation III glitch Pokémon [[??????????]]), but [[Partially unused and glitched|curiously some data]] like nine of the MissingNo. cries are leftover development remnants. The index numbers for "MissingNo." entries appear in between valid Pokémon, and combined they add up to 190 entries (151 valid Pokémon+39 MissingNo.). 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).
