- (glitch Pokémon)
- is a glitch Pokémon that is obtained by hatching ??????. When hatched, - has the sprite of an egg. In FireRed and LeafGreen, it will hatch at level 77, and if raised one level, it will jump to level 100. However, when traded to Emerald, if given a Rare Candy before raising it a level, it will go down to level 45. If - is given another Rare Candy, it will grow to level 100. Afterwards, the game may lose focus as if it is frozen (the reset button combination will not work). However, after a while, the game will gain focus and "un-freeze". It can then be traded back to FireRed/LeafGreen. It has a glitch-name ability, it is unknown what it does, and its two types are Tough and Cute, which are contest-only move types. -'s summary can only be viewed in Pokémon Emerald Version.
The games treat it both like an egg and a Pokémon. If entered in a battle as the first pokémon in the party, the second pokémon will be sent out instead. However, it is possible to shift - into battle. Furthermore, if taken to the Name Rater to be nicknamed, the Name Rater states that he cannot nickname an egg. If hatched in FireRed/LeafGreen, however, it can be given a nickname when it hatches.
For an unknown reason, when the summary for - is viewed in Emerald, it's Pokédex number is 252, even though it is the Pokédex entry number for Treecko.
