Missingno.’s appearance in-battle allows the item duplication glitch,which increases the number of items in the 6th Bag slot by 128 unlessthe number of items in the slot already exceeds 128. EncounteringMissingno. has been known to interfere with the save game data invarious ways, such as adversely affecting the Hall of Fame saved dataand (if its stats are viewed) messing with some graphics until thestats of a non-glitch Pokémon are viewed. When a Trainer battles withMissingno. in their party, both the Trainer sprite and their Pokémon’ssprites will be scrambled, and all other sprites will be reversed.Viewing the stats screen of a non-glitch Pokémon will remove theeffects. In Pokémon Yellow, capturing Missingno. will cause multipleplayer sprites to walk around the screen.
Misssingno is a threat to all the games it appears in like most glitches are. So it is not recommended to try and get it in your ed/Blue/Yellow game unless you want it to crash or you don’t want to ever see that game again

You take the tutorial from the old man on how to catch a Pokemon. Then you surf along the coast of Cinnabar Island til it appears. It will not corrupt your game but it will cause unwanted graphical glitches. It is easiest to encounter if your name is ASH and only works in Gen I
