2nd Glitch Pokemon in Pokemon Platinum

So while messing around with action replay codes to run into different pokemon I ran into a glitch pokemon that i can't find referenced anywhere. This pokemon appears as an orange box during it's "cry" animation then loses its sprite afterwards. During the fight it appears to have only one move, covet, and can't take a hit without fainting. Upon capture the game freezes. The game also displays the name as just a space and funnily enough this thing can have a gender of male or female. I would like to know has anyone run into this thing. As far as I can tell this can only be encountered by action replay/ Game shark/ hacking.

It is the one that uses the calculator in your watch. When you have it set up just type in the number #999999999 where #=blank number, and hold the L button when entering grass.

Congrats, you broke the 16-bit value barrier.
I will try other weird indexes later, so don't worry about that (but setting up cheats for R4 is pain).

Platinum AFAIK doesn't load a battle if a 16-bit overflow occurs based on previous testing. The instant the species ID is checked after a 16-bit OF the system just stops executing code in my tests from ~2015.

That's very interesting. I think I saw a video of what may have been another glitch Pokémon in Platinum and it makes me wonder whether glitch Pokémon other than hex:0000, Egg, Bad Egg and hybrids are more common in Platinum (where I don't know if any have been found in Diamond/Pearl).

I'd like to see a video of this thing, if you can record it!

From your description, it kinda reminds me of the Pomeg Glitch Pokemon in FRLG… (the "oE {e Ai" thing, or something similar)
