Description

You came here searching for a monster you had not captured, but it is an 80 foot tower of shifting red lights that stands before you, shrouded in darkness. It screams endlessly, musically. You cannot stop listening to its cry.
Kinda a companion to Missing Number, Female Symbol is a significantly more obscure glitch pokémon, but it's DEFINITELY one of my favourites. The dark square you see in its sprite isn't actually part of the pokémon; the pokémon is those red shapes, which change every time you look at it, and the dark square is just darkness around it -- if you manage to catch a Female Symbol and send it into battle, that same dark screen will also obscure your moves and options in battle.
Female symbol is infamously difficult to catch, however, since its pokédex information has to play its cry; its cry is very long and sometimes you'll get trapped listening indefinitely to its unending song. (I've had this happen to me when sending it into battle, too.)
Its Pokédex info also lists it as being 80 feet tall, which is my favourite thing! It's an 80' tall tower of shifting red lights shrouded in darkness that might drive you to madness with its unending cry!! THAT IS LITERALLY A LOVECRAFT HORROR.

Anyway, hello, I love pokemon glitches and I hope I can inspire you to consider how amazing they are. If you would like to own this as a companion to Missing Number it is ALSO available in my Redbubble store for... SOME?? REASON???????

Omg I love this. Female symbol is my fav. glitch Pokemon, I remember a childhood friend showed me the original MissingNo on his Pokemon Red cartridge with the old man glitch, way back in the day before everyone really knew about it. I thought  it was the coolest thing.



When I found out there was more glitch Pokemon later on, I was really fascinated by it. But for some reason, female symbol really stood out to me. The other day I finally used an emulator to run into female symbol, and I caught it with a master ball (I couldn't catch it with a pokeball no matter how many times I tried). It did take a really long time to wait for her cry to end on the Pokedex entry, probably around 10 minutes, but I finally got to sit through it so I was able to save and keep her.



 So now female symbol is my partner pokemon on that rom save. LOL! And she is so strong, surprisingly, way stronger than regular MissingNo, and my particular one is actually a little bit stronger than even Mew. As glitchy as she is, she totally mops the floor with everything. It's so funny and epic. But I do have to make sure I save the game state before every single encounter, wild pokemon or otherwise, because she does have that chance of going into an endless cry everytime you send her out.



The only glitch she's been causing is she is altering the graphics of my pikachu that follows you around. But he goes back to normal when you look at his stats. So she's surprisngly stable for a glitch Pokemon, too. Just thought I should share my story in case anybody else wanted to hear it, lol. XD
