'M (also known as "M Block") is a glitch Pokémon, much like Missingno., but it is much more dangerous to the player's saved game.
'M looks just like Missingno., is the same type (dual Bird and Normal), has the same ID number (000), has the same things happen to it (like not appearing in the Pokedex when caught) and like Missingno. is only found in the wild in the Red and Blue versions while doing the "Rare Candy Trick." Yet it is not the same Pokémon. After a player captures an 'M, there will be an invisible Ditto still battling the player.
'M can mess up the player's Hall of Fame and duplicate the player's sixth item like Missingno., but catching it can result in freezing, saved game deletion, and/or permanent inaccessibility to Pokémon Stadium for the particular saved game. 'M can be encountered in the same way Missingno. can.
There have been many rumors about 'M being able to evolve into Mew, but these are not true. 'M will evolve into Kangaskhan when a Rare Candy is used on it or when it gains experience points. (See picture below.)
'M is also commonly called 'M block because its name is comprised two sets of glitchy boxes with "'M" in the middle. It is also sometimes but rarely referred to as G.M.G. which probably stands for "Glitch 'M Glitch".
'M is, however, a true glitch. There are 256 slots for Pokémon to be assigned to. These are labelled in hexadecimal from 00 to FF. 'M occurs in slot 00, a slot which was never meant to be used but which does not for whatever reason trigger Missingno. Instead 'M, a true glitch, appears. Why Missingno. is not triggered is unknown.
If an 'M is taught the move Fly and then is evolved into a Kangaskhan, the Kangaskhan will be able to use Fly as an attack, which would not normally be possible. When the Kangaskhan that evolved from 'M uses Fly in Pokémon Stadium, it will look like that Kangaskhan is standing on air.
'M can be traded into the Yellow version from the Red and Blue versions, but instead becomes "3trainerPoke". However, if a player attempts to trade an 'M into the Gold or Silver versions, 'M could appear as many things from the Gold or Silver perspective, and a message will appear that says, "Your friend's <name> appears to be abnormal." The trade will automatically cancel.
