Q ◣
Q, commonly known as 'Q Glitch, is a Glitch Pokémon in Pokémon Yellow. There are only two ways to obtain a Q: by evolving a 44Hy or trading a Charizard 'M from the Red/Blue versions. Usually, it is easier to just evolve a 44Hy since Charizard 'M is hard to obtain. "Q" cannot be seen in the trainer menu or caught by directly using the Mew Glitch. Because of this, it one of the few Glitch Pokemon that cannot be caught by directly using the Mew glitch. If this Pokémon is viewed by Pokémon Gold, it will look like a ????? with the number of #255.
Q's stats in the Yellow version are:
- Nicknamed "TM55" upon evolving from 44Hy
- #121
- water/psychic
- Attacks: Confusion, disable, headbutt
- Learns glitch move at level 9
- If Pikachu is below Q in party list, Pikachu's image (the one seen following the player around) will vanish
- If Q is first Pokemon in party, all Pokemon below Q will be invisible
- If Q is moved to last Pokemon on list, all Pokemon above it will be visible
- If Q is saved to the game, it may erase saved data
- Q, and all Pokemon below it in the party list, cannot be healed at a Pokemon center and must be healed using an item such as revive
- Q may unexpectedly evolve into Kangaskhan four times in a row, then freeze the game
- Q has also been known to unexpectedly turn into a Missingno. (NOT evolve into it) -- the Missingno. will have type 1 normal, type 2 glitched
- Sometimes Q will learn "trainer", a glitch that freezes the game
The strangest part of this glitch Pokémon is that it is the only Generation I glitch with a number corresponding to an actual Generation I Pokémon. Whereas Missingno. and 'M are #000, and most other glitches are numbered between 152 and 255, this one's number is the same as Starmie. Many fans noticed this, and began calling it a Hybrid Starmie.
