Maybe you can equivalent trade a glitch on r/b/y with a hex value of FF to g/s/c
which might produce a ???? because they are hex FF on g/s/c aswell as 00, FD, and FE

Edit:To stop the ZZAZZ glitch instead of find hex FF codes use starter FF codes or have FF in party codes
This has been attempted–Charizard 'M and Q are HEX FF. I tried to trade a Charizard 'M to my Crystal, and the error trap (i.e. "Your friend's Pok?mon appears to be abnormal") prevented me from trading it. It was a good idea, though.

Was it ???? when you viewed it's stats?

Yes, actually. So you could say that I saw a ?????, even if I didn't actually get it on my Crystal Version.

Hmmm…I think I see a possibility for bypassing the trap, I had once heard a certian code for the gameshark, but I have no gameshark…I heard this code a long time ago when I first started to get intrested in glitches.

Using Gameshark to bypass the trap is pointless, as you could directly Gameshark the glitch onto G/S/C.

But what about the glitches unique to a certian version?

Like what? The glitch can be Gamesharked onto that version.

or this could mean it would have special unique properties that an ordinary ????? would not have? I remember trading an odd clefairy that would perpetually level up even if it gained 1 exp. point.

What about Missingno? (If nobody had already suggested it)

same. always the error trap. (although I remember hearing of one rare instance when it got traded.)

What happened before that pokemon got traded? There might be things you have to do before trading to get past the error trap, like with getting Missingno. and the ditto trick.

um A bit of info here. the G/S/C error trap only works for glitch pokemon it does NOT work on nonglitch pokemon that have glitch attacks. I dont know what that could do but think of that

…eh? I remember trying to trade a Haunter with a few Glitch moves from Red to Crystal and I got the error trap. However, the Haunter may've been an unevolved hybrid, and was counted as a glitch Pok?mon, but I'm not sure.

Has there been an attempt to trade a non hybrid
Ditto with the cooltrainer move to G/S/C?
