"Q" - The Glitch To Rival Missingno (Pokemon RBY Glitch Explanation)

[@spyroschristoulakis6296]

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but a logical explanation as to why Mewtwo has an animation for Fly is very simple: Metronome already allows any Pokémon to use any move, so they had to program that in. It's just that what you're doing isn't causing Fly to be used randomly. It's deliberate. Great video!

[@Tr0lliPop]

So pokémon with metronome HAVE to have an animation for every move in the whole game. I did not think of that

[@69Turnips]

Good job the programmers did

[@connorlomas1108]

@@Tr0lliPop Better yet, Metronome had a tm in gen 1, and almost everything could learn it

[@Boomerfull]

With that being said, this means every pokemon capable of using metronome probably has an animation for FLY as well

[@CyberDragonEX13]

It's also used for his Struggle animation. I was at a Tourney when the game was new and everyone had a Mewtwo and Mew on their teams which meant everyone ran our of PP and had to use Struggle.

[@elfmonster1476]

Don't worry. The rabbit hole goes WAY deeper than this :) 8F, which was mentioned in the video, for example, completely negates the need for a Gameshark... As it has the ability to let you program your own Gameshark in the game itself.

[@CKLaboratories]

I don't think anyone has reached the bottom of this rabbit hole that is gen 1, lol! I've seen crazy stuff with ACE before, like people programming Breakout and Centipede into Super Mario World on the SNES, so I'm sure there's endless possibilities with 8F!

Another thing I remember about this "fusion" glitch is that those fusions or hybrids also have interesting properties when its comes to leveling them up. For example, i remember how I fused Lapras with Pikachu to make an "Aquachu". Pikachu with Ice Beam and Surf, colored blue, like "Pikablue". Aquachu was locked to I believe Level 92 as max level, due to the EXP number gaining oddity. Even if I reached level 100 with rare candies, the level would revert back to 92. And same goes for Laprachu. Yellow Lapras fusion. This case goes the other way around. I believe it went as far as Level 107 instead, but I dont remember from top of my head if and how levels reset on that guy. So my bad for being little less informative, but its simply been a decade since I was messing around with these. I honestly never tried fusing 2 glitchmons together to create some form of "Pokegods". Never thought of doing that as a kid heh, only now thanks to this video.

[@CKLaboratories]

The level-cap thing could be possible, though I have not heard of that happening before. I am aware that certain attributes of pokemon are only held on one of the two species bytes, with their EXP level (fast, slow, very slow for legendaries, etc) being one of these attributes. Perhaps if the EXP level and the EXP cap are held on two different species bytes, I think it could cause a situation like you've tried to explain. Since Lapras and Pikachu both have different growth rates for leveling, the game may think its hit the level 100 cap when it hasnt. Again, this is only speculation, but it appears like it could be plausible. Thanks a bunch for watching!

[@thememelordbobbeh3107]

I remember being told about the cinnabar/old man/missingno stuff when I was a kid, and I abused it extensively. A couple of years ago, I read about the trainer fly glitch, which recommended using the long range trainer just outside Lavender Town. After, it said to fly to cerulean, and use a trigger on nugget bridge to initiate the encounter with the wild pokemon. It explained that you needed to have a pokemon with a certain special stat in a certain position of the party to trigger mew, specifically. It worked. I never heard about the hybrid glitch until now.

[@CKLaboratories]

Yep! There are two trainers around Cerulean that can give a Mew, because their last pokemon will have a special stat of 21. The first is the Youngster with a Slowpoke on Route 25, and the other one is the Swimmer inside of Misty's Gym. As for the Q glitch, I wouldn't have thought it was nearly as insane if you weren't able to stabilize the hybrids and transfer them to other games. To me, that's what makes it "extra broken" lol.

I replayed Red earlier this year. I was surprised at how over leveled I was for most of the game. Then I hit the Elite Four and went from over leveled to severely under leveled. Instead of grinding and taking several more days to finish the game, I just used missingno to get more Rare Candies and finished the game the same day.

I remember reading in an old videogame magazine that this glitch, along with Mew's, was the #1 responsible for the Pokemon craze that started in Japan back in the '90s. I used to think otherwise, but seeing how people from every age and walk of life can are easily enraptured by the magic of glitches and such small but interesting minor details (compared to the plot of the games in their entirety), in hindsight I believe at least a bit of this theory. (Super cool video, obviously.)

[@CKLaboratories]

I would say that such a strange glitch could invite more popularity, but I would say it's more likely to have more of an impact on people who have already played the game. But nowadays with speedrunning and Esports getting as big as they are, I think it is something that could draw players that speedrun or glitch other games toward it. Thanks a bunch for watching and commenting!

[@renakunisaki]

I think the glitches really helped add to this game's popularity. They mostly weren't fatal but added a layer of mystery and intrigue, unintentionally turning the game into a sort of dark psychological thriller, better than a lot of games that try to be one. It meant there was still an unknowable amount left to explore even when you finished the game. Some were just subtle quirks that gave you the impression that something isn't quite right, like an NPC briefly appearing in an inaccessible place, or a wrong sound effect playing. The deeper you dig, the more you get to peek behind the veil and see that this universe isn't what it seems; get a glimpse into the Lovecraft horror that is its true, corrupted workings. Of course you knew it was all fiction, but as a 7-year-old - especially the kind who likes to take things apart to see how they work - it's so much more intriguing than the game would have been without any bugs. I suspect it also sparked a lot of people's interest into computer science. I also thought the badge boost bug was pretty neat. Most people would have never known, but would have been affected. The game does tell you the badges make them a little stronger, but the effect is more than intended - every time your stats change at all, the boost re-applies. So as you progress, your Pokemon are literally getting stronger than should be possible, giving the impression that the power of friendship or some such thing is helping them out.

[@gypsysprite4824]

a few things. many of these are slightly more technical explanations than CK provided deriven from my understanding of this mess 1: only 2 entries are dedicated to the fossil missignos, the rest are the respective game version's regular form. also, all the misigno forms are from various slots before slot 190 (which is victreebell, gen 1/2 index numbers are based on order of implementation with missingno filling slots that were probably cut mons) 2: The water tiles right off of cinnabar are counted as Grass tiles rather than water because of the fact that their buttom left subtile is not water (iirc gen 1 tiles are divided into 4 subtiles? i forget how this works other than how these subtile's index numbers often factor into many RAM-based glitches) 3: btw, if you intend on keeping the unstable Hybrid, i'd suggest making sure the doner and recipient are in the same exp group. if you don't, things can get wierd since the Doner provides the exp cap but the recipient ends up keeping their exp group also, i see you mentioned 8F, aka the true king of the glitches. seriously, i'm pretty sure it's the most powerful form of Arbitrary Code execution within both the 8 bit and possibly exceeding everything in the 16 bit era, while being absurdly controllable as well.

[@CKLaboratories]

1. Correct, and those Missingno can "transform" into gen 2 pokemon if moved to GSC. That's because those "unused slots" have become used in gen 2. The pokemon index table on Bulbapedia lists what monsters the Missingno will turn into based on its index value. 2. While I do not clearly remember, it is either the top-left or bottom-left 8x8 tile that the game uses to determine the properties of the whole 16x16 tile. While this works as intended 99% of the time, it does create that issue with the shore tiles. 3. This is also true. Another person who commented stated that they had odd EXP caps with unstable hybrids, and I assumed that was the reasoning for it. Its strange how some pokemon attributes are held to one species byte and not the other, with seemingly no sensible structure or reasoning. 4.

Well the shore tile acts like grass everywhere, but most places that have them also have grass, and thus have a grass encounter table assigned, which replaces the glitched one.

This is the one game (all three of 'em) where I can watch a video covering major exploits and get nostalgic. Everyone was just so communicative about ways to break it, even offline, and I've never seen anything quite like it with any other game.

[@CKLaboratories]

It was enough to create the most successful video game franchise ever made, that in itself says a lot. These games truly are timeless. Thanks for watching!

[@renakunisaki]

It worked out kinda perfectly because it coincided with the rise of the early Internet. You had global communication and anyone could just throw up a simple site on one of the free hosts, but you didn't have Wikipedia and a decent search engine to quickly fact check, or experts who'd fully analyzed the code. You couldn't easily translate things or ask Japanese people what something meant because there was no good automatic translator, you didn't know where to find Japanese communities, and your PC couldn't render Japanese text anyway, so there was still a lot of information coming across the ocean third or fourth hand, getting corrupted in transit. You had lots of sites posting clearly fake info just for laughs. It was playground rumours but the playground covered the whole world. It was glorious. I remember reading about how the Japanese versions had cheat codes to get Mew and useful items by just going to certain menu items and pressing Select. I was so bummed they took the cool cheat codes out of the English versions. The site didn't mention that this was a glitch that corrupted a lot of other things, rather than a deliberate cheat... 😆

I used to shark my GBA games, but only after beating them a few times. Specifically, I gave myself an Ice Beam Pikachu as a starter just to see how far it could take me through Ruby. Never had the patience to go through some of these convoluted glitches though, but it's interesting to see a deeper level of *why* these things happen.

[@HimitsuYami]

At 4:30 this is slightly misleading. While it's true that it pulls from grass encounter data, it only works when there's data stored there. Which under normal circumstances wouldn't happen for long enough to be noticeable through intended gameplay. Any time you change map zones (either by entering/exiting a building via warp tile, or going to a different route via map connections) the game reloads the encounter data from ROM on the game cartridge and stores that to RAM. By default, Cinnabar Island has no data in that section so when it loads into RAM, it's loading an empty set. The glitch comes into play through two factors, the game pulls weather or not you can encounter something from the bottom right tile your character is on (player sprite is 2x2 tiles) but it pulls encounter data (which Pokémon you should encounter) from the top left I believe. So it's saying "hmm yes. You can get encounters because I see an encounter (in this case ocean) tile here. And I see a land tile here so I should load the land encounter table". Which normally, when you reach Cinnabar through travel, will be empty and not have any Pokémon to encounter. But when you fly to a city, the game doesn't reload the encounter table as you're not supposed to be able to encounter anything on land in the city anyway. But due to the way encounters are determined at that coast in particular, the game pulls from the land encounter table that's still loaded in memory and actually has entries. And the old man glitch works because the game stores the player's name in the land encounter table, assuming it'll just be reloaded anyway when you move to the next route. But flying prevents that reload, and your name typically isn't valid encounter data so the game just interprets what it gets as such anyway causing so much glitchy behavior

It should be mentioned that while MISSINGNO. can be encountered in Yellow, it’s much more unstable than its Red/Blue Counterpart during battle, often resulting in crashes. Sometimes, when encountered, it tends to have a high pitched cry that stretches for approximately 12 minutes. It’s also one of some Glitch Pokémon capable of learning Super Glitch, which is a super destructive move that can corrupt the game into an unplayable state when used. It’s recommended to save before activating Super Glitch and not after. It’s that deadly to the save. If you’re gonna try going for Yellow MISSINGNO., be advised of these cautions. Luckily it crashing at the start of battle doesn’t harm your save, but I recommend to save before fighting, as it WILL crash a lot. Both on Emulator and on Hardware. Whether that’s save states or actual saves is up to you, but Emulator is recommended.

[@Snooplax]

Great video I remember doing the Mew glitch as a kid but never knew exactly how it worked. This video had amazing editing also great work!

[@CKLaboratories]

Thanks a bunch man! I've messed around with these glitches for quite a long time, but I learned a lot from making this video. My main focus was to hone my skills with the video editor so that I could make proper visual explanations. Its been quite a process but now I'm at a point where I'm comfortable with the editor, so it shouldn't be as difficult or time consuming to make future videos!

[@FlyinLionQuinn]

There are actually cries still saved in the different Missingno forms based on your name. One speculated to be either an early version of Donphan or Rhyperior.

[@nasirmonger9769]

I wonder what happens when you use Q to fuse 2 glitch Pokemon. Also did you know that you can stack super glitch? Since super glitch activates when you see it in the battle menu if you manage to get a pokemon with super glitch in more than one of their move slots and look at the battle menu all of them activate at once. With this you can get double, triple, and even quadruple super glitch and break the game beyond all comprehension.

[@CKLaboratories]

That's pretty interesting! There are so many ways to break the gen 1 games, its unbelievable! lol

[@CKLaboratories]

It's pretty crazy! The only thing about the GB games is that you can win battles easy if you're overleveled, making the glitch less rewarding. That's why I like to stabilize them and use them for Stadium, because those opponents almost always have the same levels as your team. The game itself requires a lot more strategy and understanding of the mechanics to do well. Thanks for watching!

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

@@CKLaboratories random question: what got u into learning about glitches in pokemon red blue and yellow? For me, it was a KZbinr called "MissingnoXpert", his let's glitch pokemon yellow videos were awsome, and I'm also surprised how I withstood the mic quality looking back lol

[@CKLaboratories]

Haha I've been playing Stadium 1 since I was a kid, and it's an extremely unforgiving game if you don't know what your doing. Little 10-year old me would get trashed in tournaments, so when I came back to the game (about a decade ago) I started looking for things that would give me an additional advantage. Shortly after figuring out the Trainer-Fly glitch, I found a video showing how to do the Q glitch, and I immediately started experimenting with giving all sorts of moves to different pokemon. SInce then, Ive only seen maybe one other video on Q, with no explanations as to how it worked. Thats what gave me the idea for this video before I even started the channel. So yea, I blame Stadium as the reason I started doing these glitches lol

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

​@@CKLaboratories I've only played a little of staduim 2, and I didnt get that far, so based on what I've heard, yeah it's a hard game. That's a really interesting reason to do glitches tho! I remember at a pokemon league I used to go to, I had a level 100 venusaur from the trainer fly glitch in yellow, and challenged a person there who hadn't done any glitches. I sweep lol. That was the only time I got to battle some1 in gen 1, and it was on the virtual console. Fun times. Another random question: what was your 1st pokemon game? My dad had a phone with emulators on it and I technically started there with gold, but I feel like my real 1st pokemon game was pokemon white with tepig as my starter. Still have that emboar in pokemon home

[@CKLaboratories]

@@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan I had a copy of Red as a kid, and got Blue and Yellow somewhere down the line after my Red became unplayable. Besides that, it was Stadium 1. It was a trip getting to see all 151 monsters in 3d for the first time. I only played Stadium 2 much later, and Id say its even more difficult -- even if you exclude things like the Challenge Cup (which picks a team from a random set for you to play with). After that though, I didn't mess with Pokemon much until my friend lent me a copy of Ruby, which I really liked. Then I went back to play GSC and Stadium 2. I lost a lot of my good N64 and GB stuff a few years back, but I found my old Yellow and bought a new Blue. I also needed to familiarize myself with replacing the batteries in the cartridge so that save files don't get wiped. Its especially needed for GSC because of the Real-Time-Clock the games use, as it puts more strain on the battery.

Thank you for this. When Red/Blue came out back then I was 12, so in a sense, "Missingno" was one of my earliest internet exploits. I know I learned about missingno in school first, as most kids in my school were playing, and especially at my lunch table, it was nothing but link cable battles. Over the years though, I became deeply fascinated by this glitch. It was pretty much my introduction to what "unused content" was. It made me realize in hindsight that all the time i spent on gameshark with my Nintendo 64 and PSone (Back then I called it "My Sony" as a lot of people would. This was a leftover of saying things like "my Sega" and "my Nintendo") was time spent browsing all of this unused stuff as well as arbitrary code injection. That's what drew me to things like the cutting room floor, your video here, and other related things in the future. It seems every time I revist Missingno I am amazed by what else is discovered, or how many times I get the feeling "wait, theres more to this gltich?". It's as if since 12 I've never stopped learning about the programming of Red, Blue, and Yellow. Q would have scared the shit out of me as a kid.

[@complexlol]

13:20 wow this is such a throwback. Back in the days of GSC I remember cloning pokemon via the box was super easy in GS but the timing was a lot harder in Crystal. I kept trying to practise it on my Crystal cartridge and one time when trying to clone my lv 100 Red Gyarados while holding a lv 40 Entei in my team I somehow messed up and after restarting there wasn't an additional Gyarados but instead a shiny lv 100 Entei with the moves and stats of my Gyarados. I freaked out thinking I had broken my game and immediately released the shiny Entei lol. I hadn't glitched the save in any other way before that so to this day I wonder how the hell it happened. The game was fully functional after this too. So weird!

[@CKLaboratories]

Theres almost always something you can mess with on the PCs in pokemon games lol. I've done some messing around with the cloning glitch myself, but not on Crystal version. I would always use it to dupe rare items since things like the evolution stones are much less common in the gen 2 games. Thanks for watching!

The kinds of things you can do in the 1st gen pokemon games are absolutely insane. The reason for making this video was because the original videos on Q are about a decade old, and don't go in-depth to explain exactly why the glitch works the way it does. Q has fascinated me for a long time, but only recently was I able to learn what goes on behind the scenes to make it work the way that it does. I consider it to be one of the most game-breaking glitches ever, save for things like Arbitrary Code Execution, Stale Reference Manipulation, and the like. Thanks a bunch for watching!

[@Illegal_Immigrant]

Firstly, i really have to say, im glad this video has a voice over. Its hard to get invested in an explination of a glitch, when i have to read a 400 word essay every 15 seconds. Secondly, its really cool to see people still talk about glitch pokemon, even if the topic has been done so many times, over the years.

[@CyberCross222]

Something fun you probably didn't know. You can get over 1000 hp on pokemon, as long as they're over lv100. Just catch any Pokemon above lvl100 with the Missingno trick, Duplicate Rare Candies with it too, level up a pokemon to anywhere between 246-249 I believe it was (its been awhile), put em in your PC and pull em out. They'll level-down, but still be over 100. Their current HP stays the same, but base HP drops, resulting in example, 249/145 (essentially a higher number than they can have). Rinse repeat, and your Pokemon's health bar in battle will look insane. But also a warning, healing the Pokemon will reset this. Neat little trick I found in my adventures

[@stevesharpe3370]

[@MmeCShadow]

One additional note about the Cinnabar tiles; that was a glitch introduced during localization. The Japanese version treats these tiles as proper water tiles, and IIRC it's because the tile's encounter table is determined by the lower right corner, making it part of the sea route. During localization, the encounter type was changed to being determined by the lower LEFT corner, which results in these tiles being coded as encounter tiles but trying to draw their encounter pool from the land's edge tile, which does not exist and therefore hasn't cleared the memory space. It presumably doesn't clear the memory in the original Japanese version, either, but since the encounter table is referencing the proper tile, it's not a problem. You can also see this phenomenon at work in Viridian Forest, where in the localized version of the game tiles that have a flower in the lower left don't spawn encounters at all.

It's better to use a cheat device for that, far less messy of a process.

[@CKLaboratories]

Specifically for a Squirtle using Flamethrower, I definitely think it'd be easier to use cheats for that.

That's essentially what's going on here lol. While I didn't go into detail during the video, some pokemon attributes are linked to one of the two species bytes, while the rest are linked to the other. For example, stats and nickname will use one byte, while the learnset uses another. Both of the Nido's, Gyrados, Mew, and a lot of normal-type monsters are great to use because they have a wide move-pool, meaning you can avoid having to do the glitch several times to get a monster with the moves you want.

Yep, moves that aren't in the pokemon's learnset will be discolored in Stadium, but thankfully the game doesnt prohibit you from using them in any way.

The glitches in these old pokemon games are great, I don't think I would've even played the gen 1 versions otherwise. It's very convenient that the data in yellow made Q so easy to obtain, evolving at such a low level from a glitch pokemon easily obtainable by the trainer fly glitch. If it was more like Charizard 'M from Red and Blue it would've made the setup for this whole thing a lot more complicated to perform. Q is even the easiest way to get access to Super Glitch (in Yellow at least) since it learns one at only level 9. All in all, definitely a top tier glitch pokemon. It does require care when dealing with it if you don't want to accidentally merge pokemon together all the time. The fusion glitch will also happen in your own party menu if you deposit anything into the pc with pokemon below Q in your party. I think the Q hybrids left behind in the process of the glitch also share some of Q's properties? Although I don't remember if the game also treats them like the cancel button as well or not. Either way, I always made sure to quarantine Q and all its byproducts in their own pc box whenever I wasn't making use of it.

[@CKLaboratories]

Yes! I've definitely merged pokemon by accident before, and that's why I always keep Q in a separate PC box too lol. I also release any unstable hybrids that get mixed with Q through move-swapping.

Well, +1 now! Excellent work, please keep it up! Also, if you don't mind me asking, where are you from? I'm assuming in the US, but I can't quite place your accent 🤔 it's really interesting though, not distracting or bad at all. It sounds decently "normal" to me as an Ohioan, but then suddenly when you say an A sound as in "grass," the form of the vowel that you choose, and that it's a bit nasally, make you have a bit of southern twang, or at least it sounds like that to me lol.

Thanks for your reply! While not giving away my exact location, Ohio isn't too far off lol, I'd be east of there. Glad you enjoy the content, I've already got more stuff in the works so you can look forward to new videos (hopefully) soon!

The numbers have jumped considerably since you posted this comment, and I'm really thankful for all the exposure its gotten! I realized I might have been a bit rude by giving an extremely vague answer to your question, but I'm one state over in the eastern side of PA! I do have a very nasally voice by default, and try to do what I can to avoid that bleeding through into my commentary videos lol. I vividly remember being very out of breath by the time I said "a patch of grass" at one part of the video, maybe that's it? Lol either way, I'm sure the nasally part does give some credit to you saying it almost sounds southern haha. Thanks again for watching!

Good job on the explanation of the game interpreting data as a Pokémon. It seems similar enough to opening a nontext file as a notepad file, interpreting it as ASCII in a .txt file, but on the scale of objects.
