Read description for more information:
₽ ぅ4A Q (hex:7D) is a Rival's effect glitch item in Pokémon Yellow.

These are glitch items that partially open the party menu, causing an effect that disable other sprites and allows you to walk through walls. 

Rival's effect glitch items typically have IDs of 0x80 or greater, where the ID minus 0x80 equals an item that brings up the menu. However this glitch item is an exception to the rule.

This glitch item will bring up an HP bar that gradually decreases. When it finishes, the party menu will be brought up but with the wrong menu-sprites depending on the original menu-sprite and the area.
There are many different possibilities. This video just shows a few of them.

Some of the menu sprites even combine two halves of a real menu sprite to create a new one. An example of this is a 'diamond-tailed Pikachu'.

Note: It seems the Japanese fan site Legendary Star Blob 2 (http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com) originally documented this effect but in a different way on the Japanese version. I sadly can no longer find the original page.
