Type: Null (Pokémon)

|}
Type: Null (Japanese: タイプ：ヌル Type: Null) is a Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
It evolves into when leveled up with high friendship.
It is associated with the Ultra Beasts.
==Biology==
Type: Null is a quadrupedal, chimeric with traits from a variety of creatures. Its head is enclosed in a brown helmet with green markings, designed to suppress its power to stable levels. The helmet is extremely heavy and hinders its agility. The helmet has a large jaw piece that wraps around the front with large, round hinges on the side. Each hinge is covered by a green X-shaped marking. The name of the Pokémon, as it wears the helmet, is called Null meaning nothing.| Type: Null (Archived) Small gray eyes can be seen from within rectangular black holes on the front, and there are two pointed ears on the top. Around the base is a collar with four protruding vanes that are tipped with a three-way spike. This collar has a thin green line between the vanes, and each vane has a green hexagon near the end. An axe-like blade with a band around the middle extends backward from the top of the helmet. The front tip of the blade has a small, silver spike that hooks downward.
A mane of gray fur hangs from below Type: Null's helmet and covers its shoulders and chest. Most of its torso and legs is covered in short black fur. The lower half of each front leg is insectoid and green with spikes along the back, while the rear legs have thick purple scales on the flanks, shins, and on the top of the foot. All four of its feet have three toes, but in the front two toes face forward and one backward. Additionally, the hind paws have a short, gray claw on the back of the ankle. Its fishlike tail consists of two dark blue spines with a light blue fin stretched between them. The top spine has a line of short, gray spikes.
Type: Null was created by the Aether Foundation as part of the beast killer project. It was designed to be an "Anti-UB Fighting life-form", a weapon created to fight against the Ultra Beasts. Also known as "beast killer", Type: Null was developed with cells taken from all known Pokémon types. This was done with the intention of giving it the ability to by holding a corresponding memory, an ability originally inspired by the myths researched at Canalave Library. This ability led the Aether Foundation to name it "Type: Full". Three known models of Type: Full were created, but all three rejected the RKS System and went berserk. Faba had created limiter helmets for these Pokémon, and after being subdued, the three Type: Full were given the helmets to lessen the effects of the RKS System's rejection and were put into permanent cryogenic stasis. Thus, the beast killer project was deemed a failure, and the creature's name changed to Type: Null. At some point before the events of Generation VII, Gladion was able to free one of the Type: Null, which he adopted as his own in the hopes of finding a way to undo the effects of the limiter helmet and allow it to use the RKS System. Gladion would eventually rediscover its evolution, Type: Full, renaming it as . When Type: Null evolves into Silvally, it breaks the helmet it wears in the process. Prior to the events of Pokémon Sword and Shield, a new Type: Null is created in the Galar region, apparently by Macro Cosmos by utilizing research notes stolen from Alola. Being created to hunt down Ultra Beasts, as seen in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon and Pokémon Adventures, Type: Null can feel the appearance of Ultra Beasts and the opening of Ultra Wormholes.
