Obscure Pokemon Game Facts

Post trivia about the games you don't think is common knowledge.

Here's a long one:
>It's possible to transfer missingno through the time capsule to GSC(where it will turn into a Pupitar upon transfer) as long as it's the Kabutops fossil missingno and it was caught with an Onix or a Geodude/Graveler/Golem.

This is because the only things the game checks for before allowing a trade is that the pokemon has the correct type and is level 100 or below. The fossil and ghost forms of missingno take their base stats, starting moves, and type from the pokemon who's data was accessed last, and the Kabutops fossil missingno's index number corresponds with Pupitar, which is Rock/Ground type like the pokemon I mentioned above.

This doesn't work for the Aerodactyl or Ghost forms becuase their index numbers correspond to Tyranitar and Lugia, and nothing in gen 1 has type combinations that match them.

This is the only way to successfully transfer a missingno.(Aside from using arbitrary code execution, but you can do nearly anything with that.)
