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.

Anime

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.

Gladion's Type: Null

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.
Type: Null's body resembles that of Umbreon and its tail is reminiscent of Gyarados. It also has similar markings on its helmet to Zygarde 10% and a ring on its helmet is similar to Arceus. Its legs are also similar to those of Bug Pokémon, but its feet resemble Grovyle's. Its crest is also similar to the crest feathers of Chatot or the tutu of Oricorio Pa'u Style. Its Normal-type and ability to evolve into a Pokémon that can have many different types is similar to Eevee. Its shady and hidden eyes make it similar to some Ghost-type Pokémon like Dusknoir, Cofagrigus and Phantump.
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 as "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 the other two being:
- Mewtwo (created by Team Rocket)
- Genesect (created by Team Plasma)
Type: Null has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon that are still able to evolve (534).
Type: Null is the first Pokémon to have its English, Spanish and Italian all be the same.

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.

Etymology

Type: Null's name is a mixture of type, and null; having no legal or binding force, or the value of Zero. It may also mean "no type" in contrast to "Type: Full" meaning "all types".
