Type:Null

## **Appearance**

Type: Null is a large chimeric Pokémon with mainly short black fur and mostly mammalian traits. It has insectoid, dark green forelegs with two toes facing forward and one backward. Its mammalian back legs thick purple scales on the flanks, shins, and atop the feet, which have red paw pads and a spike on the back of each ankle. Its dark blue fishlike tail has a light gray fin, a gray border, and a row of short gray spikes along the top spine.

Its head is enclosed in a brown metal helmet, from under which hangs a mane of gray fur with several split square ends that covers its shoulders and chest. A large axe-like crest protrudes from the top of the helmet between two pointed ears, each of which has a small black hole. The crest has a brown metal band (attached to the helmet) around the middle and a small silver, downward-hooking spike. The helmet itself has a large jaw piece that wraps around the front and is secured in place by large round hinges (or screws) on each side. Each hinge has a green X on it, and the front of the jaw piece has a large downward triangular protrusion. A collar with a green line surrounds the helmet's base, and on the collar are four vanes, each of which have a small green hexagon on the end and are tipped with a three-way spike. Type: Null's gray eyes are visible through the rectangular black holes in the front of the helmet.

## **Evolution**

Type: Null evolves into Silvally when leveled up with high friendship.

## **Origin**

Type: Null was created in a laboratory by scientist Faba of the Aether Foundation in Alola to fight and kill Ultra Beasts. The Pokémon was the center of Faba's "Beast Killer Project" with Faba himself giving Type: Null the codename "Beast Killer". It was developed by taking cells from all known Pokémon types with the intention of giving it the ability to change its type by holding a corresponding memory disc, which would allow it to defeat Ultra Beasts. This ability was inspired by the myths about Arceus and its Multitype Ability, which allowed it to change its type by holding corresponding stone tablets (plates). In honor of Arceus, Type: Null's Ability to change type with memories was named "RKS System", and it was originally named "Type: Full". Three known individual Type: Full were created, but they all rejected the RKS System Ability and went berserk, unable to handle its power. After being subdued, Faba gave the three Pokémon limiter helmets to suppress their power to stable levels, which also deactivated the RKS System, and placed them into cryogenic stasis. As a result of the RKS System's rejection, the Beast Killer Project was deemed a failure, and Type: Full became Type: Null. Some time later, a young boy named Gladion rescued one Type: Null and adopted it to figure out how to remove its helmet and allow it to use RKS System again. Gladion eventually discovered Type: Null's evolved form when the bond of friendship they formed allowed the Pokémon to destroy its helmet and renamed it Silvally.

## **Type Effectiveness**
