After enabling the expanded item pack in Japanese Blue (see http://glitchcity.info/wiki/Expanded_item_pack), one can encounter a "hooked MissingNo." with gym leader music playing that appears to have 'no HP' (but possibly not no HP) by pressing Select on item 80, exiting with B, B and then accessing the Pok茅mon menu via the Name Rater or Day Care man by pressing A.

When the hooked MissingNo. appears, it may force a glitch battle system where you cannot fight. If you have a Master Ball in slot 1, you can catch the MissingNo. but it may appear as just a Ditto.

Despite this it is another way to duplicate the sixth item, in addition to the CoolTrainer trick and other buffer related glitches (possibly including this trick http://glitchcity.info/wiki/Japanese_unterminated_name_glitch_item_instant_encounter_glitch), as well as RentonArg's item duplication glitch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcTB_IaNtqU

The glitch does occur in Red/Green and Japanese Yellow, but does not appear to have a use there as the MissingNo. 7F in those versions freeze the game.

The glitch can be ported to English Red/Blue/Yellow if the player swaps a Pok茅mon with Pok茅mon 82 in the expanded party (possible with arbitrary code execution, SRAM glitch or Super Glitch).

Code for RBY with bootstrap Pok茅mon to item 3:

Lemonade x82
TM34 x99 (x98 in Yellow)
TM08 x201
