What would happen if I transfered a Missingno into a modern game?

Question

Say I had a Missingno in red or blue. And I kept trading it to later games. Gen 2 then gen 3 then gen 4 and I keep going until I get to poke bank and poke home. Could this work to get a Missingno in scarlet or violet?

Answer 1

Generation II cannot trade with later games, so that would be the end of the line for MissingNo. on physical cartridges. In reality, though, it can't even go that far — the Time Capsule does not let it through.

The other option is the Virtual Console release of Generation I on the 3DS, which can communicate with Pokémon Bank. Here too MissingNo. (as well as all other glitch Pokémon) will fail to transfer. It seems MissingNo. is doomed to languish in Generation I forever.

Might be useful info, I somehow corrupted a Pokemon in Heartgold, and it became a glitch Pokemon. It was unable to be transferred anywhere, even with hacks, and it crashed the game whenever I tried to hover over it in the box. I’m not sure if that can be considered missingno, but it was glitched nonetheless lol

For a second I thought I could have one of my favourite ‘’pokemon’’ in a newer game but I guess it’s not meant to be. and silver, what was this glitch pokemons name?

It would not let me view it at all lol, it’s sprite was a “?” And I couldn’t hover over it at al.

Unfortunately you’re doomed to never get a real missingno past gen 2 </3 there’s a bunch of other glitch Pokemon in gen 3 though! And lesser but still extent in new games. Although they aren’t “functional”
