If you do the mew glitch with a special stat of 192 you get…

A glitch Poliwhirl hybrid called a or as I call it a “polibox”. This one is polibox A
Now according to bulbapedia:

If is raised to certain levels, including 42 or 13, the game may unexpectedly freeze, which can be avoided by giving it enough experience to pass those levels.

Key word “including”. If I want to use this Pokémon what are all the levels I should avoid

Thank you! (You may wonder why I don’t use the other, more stable, Poliwhirl glitch Pokémon: glitch (D7) or polibox B. That would be because I want to use both of them and that means using the risky one.

As it turns out, a is only guaranteed to crash the game at:

  • Level 13
  • Level 42

However Level 13 is actually considered the Point Of No Return for game crashes. a has a chance to crash the game at every single level from then on. And it’s not just levels, at some point, nearly anything would be able to freeze the game and alter your save file! I highly don’t recommend using this Pokémon, even if it is a poliwhirl hybrid

Note:


I was using a kabutops form Missingno in this picture and a turned it into a Poliwhirl form Missingno.

And it wasn’t temporary.
Oh and also that pic has a different Missingno to the one I actually used against it. Nothing else became Poliwhirl. Just the 2 kabutops Missingnos I was using

Another Note: no matter what I said in the thread, both of the Poliwhirl hybrids are dangerous. It just didn’t say that in the bulbapedia article for the 2nd one
