--- ----- Glitch Pokeon in Platinum?

Hello everyone, quite new here! Anyway, I was messing with some AR codes for Platinum to have a bit of illegal fun and I unintentionally came across a glitch pokemon that slightly resembles MissingNo. Named —– in battle and — —– in the Pokedex. It always appears shiny and has a Bulbasuar cry (quite expected)

So far, I believe this is gen 4's version of the ? Pokemon from the gen3  games.  Correct me if I'm wrong, folks! Also, the shadow shows up really messed up  when you encounter it.

I used this code, activated it twice… after using the wild pokemon modifier code to encounter a Uxie. I flew to Sandgem town and then walked into the grass after holding R and then pressing A at my trainer card screen, and then —– appeared. It's always shiny.

You have only one chance to catch it since it has 0 HP, so I just used a master ball. Its icon is the question mark as well.

Something else I found very strange was that when I went to go look at it in the PC box, it was nowhere to be found! 
Here's a picture of —–:

This pokemon is known as dpbox and can be obtained using numerous glitches like; pomeg glitch; restaurant double battle with single living pokemon (jap only), glitched partnermode; instant boxing glitch. Although there's no way to actaully capture it atm.

There is ONE way to catch it with a cheating device (as far as I know)

You have to use the wild pokemon modifier code, mess it up, then fly to another route or something because that code only works when you use it in the same route you start the game in, then mess with the calculator. After doing this, the game lags a bit but then you encounter dpbox and you could catch it with a masterball.

However, it never appears in the PC box after you catch it :(

Well yeah, technically using the instant boxing glitch (which I haven't posted anything about bcs I can't get video footage on vacation) you encounter dpboxs and 'capture' them in pal park balls, but they don't box either.

Edit: which is quite interesting, as glitchpokemon di get boxed. But I'm fairly certain it has to do with the fact that dpbox is purely made up of 00' bytes, which means that in a pc its the same as an empty space.

Bulbapedia's article on DPBox is somehow a ton more fleshed out than ours. What's protocol on copying from them?
