Mewthree
Mewthree is possibly one of the most famous fake Pokémon. It appears commonly in fake cheats and fan fiction.
Rumors of Mewthree's existence within the Pokémon games have circulated since the first generation. Many fake methods were created, that were often impossible to perform or resulted in the player deleting their save file. These stories have led to a number of hack games focusing on this unofficial Pokémon. The most notable of these is Pokémon Chaos Black, in which Mewthree can evolve into another fake Pokémon, Mewthree X.
Mewthree was also one of the names given to the silhouette of Lucario early after its release on many internet forums because it appeared strikingly similar to Mewtwo.
Example of a fake method
One fake method of catching Mewthree is that after all 150 Pokémon are captured in the Pokédex in Pokémon Red and Blue, returning to the Cerulean Cave where Mewtwo was found and using Rock Smash on a rock 50 times would make a Lv. 99 Mewthree appear. This, of course, is impossible, as Rock Smash was not introduced until Generation II, and Pokémon with moves not available in Generation I were unable to be traded back.
