Glitch Nidorino a.k.a. "♨č▒⢫╠␣☣ł₤舸▟" (see "Glitch Nidorino") is a character that appears in the Alternate Timeline. In theory a materialization of primal energy following the commands of "Death", it appears in the Ruins of Alph and roams the alternate Pokéverse looking for warriors who have grown too cocky and confident to experience tharn, or fear of Death, among the survivors of the Unova-Poképan war.

History

At first a nondescript mist when it first appears, it imitates the strongest lifeforce it manages to find near the Ruins, which happens to be Vinollo the Nidorino. From there it floats or teleports to different places to look for mons and humans to face and to teach fear of Death to.

Glitch Nidorino eventually is found by Tagg and DS when it explores the Cerulean Cave, and after a match with Tagg's mons is defeated by Muddy and Chilliwack. After that, perceiving how Tagg and DS react to death, it teleports them around to Hoenn where they meet a resucitated Solana.

Its early dialogue suggests that Death sent it to the Pokéverse to restore a balance that is broken in largescale wars.


Battle Abilities

♨č▒⢫╠␣☣ł₤舸▟ has a limited degree of Reality Warping which includes teleporting himself and certain objects; when eit teleports large spaces it casts a timespace bubble that "merges" the target and destination locations for a moment for interesting effect. It has a movepool based on his in-game one, but the glitch moves are reinterpreted so as to try to make some sense and have them be usable (since they are glitch moves with low or zero statistics in the cartridge).

There is a key limitation of Glitch Nidorino's power: it can not kill -- at least directly. Its purpose is to teach the fear of Death, in which it is implied its targets must survive its attacks, even if barely.

It is unknown whether Glitch Nidorino can be killed, though it can be largely incapacitated in battle; when that happens it turns into a violet cloud of smoke with very little power beyond its own mobility.
