Just had a good idea for another glitchy move.

Glitch Shapeshift- ???
Center- None
No Damage- Self
The user transforms into a randomly determined non-legendary pokemon for 10 minutes. The user gains the type of it's new form, two randomly determined moves of it's new form that it could know at this level, and gains a 50% increase to it's new form's highest base stat for the duration of Glitch Shapeshift.

Whoops, I meant to say Freeze Up, not Freezerdex. Also, here is a possible way to get the "Super Glitch" move from the games into tabletop form:

Super Glitch- ???
(Damage as Hidden Power)- At Will- AC 8
Special Attack- Burst 3
On a 19-20 on the accuracy check, all targets are glitched (as with the Corrupting ability); on a 1, the pokemon using Super Glitch immediately uses Metronome (as with the Chaotic ability).

Do you think it looks good?
Edit: Changed Attack to Special Attack
I already made all the glitch attacks. Here's what Super Glitch looks like right now:

Super Glitch - Glitch
Daily - 5
Ranged - Special
Effect: 1 Target
Roll a d8 for effect.
1. The enemy is poisoned and burned, then frozen upon taking an action or accepting an item, then takes 300 points of damage.
2. All of the enemy's HP is drained. The attacker's HP is completely restored.
3. The attack fails.
4. Effect similar to the Freeze Up ability.
5. The enemy trainer's mind is affected. They must roll a WIS save of 20 or higher or be driven insane.
6. Deals 3d10 damage.
7. Deals 4d20 damage.
8. Deals 1d10 damage.

I figure a 37.5% chance of just taking damage as opposed to all the other horrible things that could happen is pretty good for an attack.

I only made Freeze Up so bad because I assume glitches would be extraordinarily rare, and the kind of thing that most trainers wouldn't even want to battle in the first place; if they do, they run a high risk of getting completely effed just due to the chaotic nature of the glitches.

Well, I suppose that could just be chalked up to differences in how we're expecting to use Glitch 'mon. I'm planning on using them as relatively "safe", if extremely strange mons with a few horrible monstrosities (with moves like your version of Super Glitch) in the mix. Still, I like your version of Super Glitch a lot just for how glitchy it is.

Well I'm just trying to keep them close to the context of the games; when you encounter most of these glitches in-game, it freezes it up or does something else terrible. I suppose that there could be some sort of will save or something (maybe a Wisdom roll or something?) to prevent Freeze Up from affecting the trainer? I dunno.

As long as there's a means of evolving MissingNo. into Kangaskhan (or Clefairy, it seems to vary from person to person), I'll be happy lolol

I don't have Missingno as being able to be evolved, but I suppose that rule could be fudged by the GM if necessary.

Ugh, so many glitches with no abilities, so few abilities to give them... D:

Heres an ability idea:
Glitch-volution: Upon this Pokémon leveling up roll a d100, if you roll below its current level this Pokémon evolves to a random Pokémon.

I like it. Added to the glitch-dex.
