"Fun fact - MissingNo.'s base stats and CP"

#PokemonGO: In all the anger about the current event and the recent gym update, I thought of talking about something random and funny. MissingNo.!Travellers sometimes refer to MissingNo. when seeing a 300000CP Pokémon called "POKEMON NAME" as a raid boss (don't ask me how to reproduce this bug, probably it has to do with poor network connection). Actually, MissingNo. already existed way back in Pokémon's first games, Red and Green (in Japan) / Blue (everywhere else). It also is present in later games, but can't be encountered unless forced by manipulating the game memory (from Ruby/Sapphire on). It is actually a placeholder for when the game doesn't know what Pokémon to encounter (there are many great, deep and really interesting articles on why this happens, but that's a different story).Anyways, in the first games, there was a bug that made you encounter this phenomenon and even catch it! While you shouldn't encounter it in first place (because while it duplicates the item in your 6th slot, it also corrupts a specific point at your savefile which holds the Hall Of Fame data in a compressed form), it is treated by the game as a Pokémon and even has base stats and moves assigned to it.So if MissingNo. made it into the game based on its Gen I base stats*, its stats would convert into a quite decent base Attack of 218, but its base Defense of a poor 10 and a base Stamina of 66, respectively, would make it more than a really easy to take down glass cannon in PoGO. CP wise, it would reach stats of 200CP at level 20, 300CP at level 30 and 345CP at level 39. Poor fella would be taken down pretty quickly! So don't worry, if you really encountered a MissingNo. in PoGO, you could beat it with ease. Just make sure you got a quick of charge TM stored in your 6th slot :PTL;DR: Read the paragraph above*In Generation I, Pokémon had one single Special stat which equally counted for the later Special Attack and Special Defense, so I assumed the Special Defense to be the same as Special Attack.P.S. I had this idea because I am making a PoGO IV calculator as a school project in C# and thought of using MissingNo. as a basic Pokémon template and easter egg, so I needed its base stats and got curious. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2sZIRsU
