Type: Null (Japanese: タイプ:ヌル, HepburnTaipu:Nuru) is a Normal-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

During its development, it was known as Type: Full prior to the project's failure.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Type: Null is a chimeric-looking quadruped Pokémon combining body parts from several different creatures. Its body is black and catlike, with three-toed paws on its hind legs while its front legs are green and resemble an insect's or bird's. It has purple scales on its upper hips, its tail is a blue forked fin with a gray membrane, and a mane of gray fur hangs around its neck. Its head is mostly obscured by a metallic helmet with a ring resembling that of Arceus around the neck and a silver crest on the top. Its gray eyes are, however, visible through a pair of openings on the helmet.

Pokédex entries[]

  • Sun

    The heavy control mask it wears suppresses its intrinsic capabilities. This Pokémon has some hidden special power.

  • Moon

    Due to the danger that this synthetic Pokémon may go on a rampage, it wears a control mask to restrain its power.

  • Ultra Sun

    A Pokémon weapon developed for a specific mission, it went berserk during an experiment, so it was cryogenically frozen.

  • Ultra Moon

    There's danger of its going on a rampage, so its true power is sealed away beneath its control mask.

  • Sword

    Rumor has it that the theft of top-secret research notes led to a new instance of this Pokémon being created in the Galar region.

  • Shield

    It was modeled after a mighty Pokémon of myth. The mask placed upon it limits its power in order to keep it under control.

Anime[]

Gladion Type Null

Gladion Type: Null.

Type: Null first appeared in SM037: Rising From the Ruins!, where Gladion summon it out of its Poké Ball. Gladion's Type: Null later evolves into a Silvally.

Supporting[]

Trivia[]

  • Along with Cosmog, Type: Null is the first Legendary Pokémon that is able to evolve.
  • Upon evolving into Silvally, Type: Null's stats remain unchanged except for a slight increase in Speed. However, it gains a much bigger movepool and can use a new ability.
  • The square cuts of hair on Type: Null's mane closely resemble Gladion's who is Type: Null's trainer.
  • Along with the Tapu Guardians and Mr. Mime, Type: Null is one of few Pokémon in the series to have a name with two words.
    • In the anime, Type: Null is often referred to as Silvally, which might be just because Type: Null is simply Silvally with a containment helmet on.
  • At first, when Type: Null was created, it was called "Type: Full", meaning that it had the ability to change into different types like Arceus, until the experiment ended in failure.
    • This also refers that Type: Null is an artificial copy of Arceus.
  • Type: Null is one of three Pokémon created through scientific experiments by an evil organization with the other two being:
  • Type: Null has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon that are still able to evolve (534).
  • Type: Null is the first (and so far only) Pokémon whose Spanish and Italian names are different from its English name.

Origin[]

Type: Null may be based on a gryphon or a chimera. It also has many similarities to the dragon of the Ishtar Gate in the city of Babylon, such as the feline and dragon-like legs, dragon-like shape, and crest on its head. The ring surrounding its helmet resembles the one surrounding the torso of Arceus. It may also draw inspiration from Frankenstein's Monster, especially the bolts on either side of its head. Backstory-wise, it may also be based on the EVA units from Neon Genesis Evangelion, both being cyborgs designed to fight bizarre, incredibly powerful creatures (the Ultra Beasts in Type: Null's case, the Angels in the EVA units' case), both having to wear devices that prevent them from losing control of their power (the mask in Type: Null's case, the armor in the EVA units' case), and the three instances of Type: Null created possibly referencing the three main EVA units (Unit-00, Unit-01, and Unit-02).

Etymology[]

Type: Null comes from type and null (having no legal or binding force, nothing).

Names in other languages[]

  • English: Type:Null
  • French: Type:0
  • German: Typ:Null
  • Italian: Tipo Zero
  • Spanish: Código Cero
  • Chinese: 屬性:空
