Quick Answers
What inspired the creation of Type: Null in Pokémon? Type: Null was created as an artificial Pokémon intended to mimic Arceus's ability to change types. Originally called "Type: Full," it was designed to switch types but the experiment failed, resulting in its renaming to Type: Null. It is one of three Pokémon created by an evil organization, alongside Mewtwo and Genesect. Provided by: Fandom How does Type: Null evolve in Pokémon games? Type: Null evolves into Silvally when it reaches a high friendship level with its Trainer. This evolution is unique as it does not require leveling up or an Evolution Stone, but rather a strong bond with Type: Null through in-game activities. Provided by: Fandom What are the unique features of Type: Null's design? Type: Null, a chimeric quadruped Pokémon, features a black, catlike body with three-toed hind paws and green front legs resembling insect or bird limbs. It has purple scales on its hips and a blue forked fin tail. Its mask prevents power loss, akin to EVA units' armor in Genesis Evangelion. Originally named 'Type: Full' for its type-changing ability, it was rebranded as Type: Null after the experiment failed. Provided by: Fandom What role does Type: Null play in Pokémon Sun and Moon? In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Type: Null is a unique Pokémon created by an evil organization as an artificial copy of Arceus. Initially named "Type: Full," it failed to change types, resulting in Type: Null. Gladion, its trainer, uses it to protect others, such as saving Ash from danger. Its appearance resembles Gladion's hair, and it is one of the few Pokémon with a two-word name. Provided by: Fandom

Pokédex entries[]
Sun
The heavy control mask it wears suppresses its intrinsic capabilities. This Pokémon has some hidden special power.
Moon
Due to the danger that this synthetic Pokémon may go on a rampage, it wears a control mask to restrain its power.
Ultra Sun
A Pokémon weapon developed for a specific mission, it went berserk during an experiment, so it was cryogenically frozen.
Ultra Moon
There's danger of its going on a rampage, so its true power is sealed away beneath its control mask.
Sword
Rumor has it that the theft of top-secret research notes led to a new instance of this Pokémon being created in the Galar region.
Shield
It was modeled after a mighty Pokémon of myth. The mask placed upon it limits its power in order to keep it under control.

Gladion's Type: Null
Trivia[]
Along with Cosmog, Type: Null is the first Legendary Pokémon that is able to evolve.
The two were however formerly preceded by Dratini, who was originally considered Legendary in 1996, as per An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS.
Upon evolving into Silvally, Type: Null's stats remain unchanged except for a slight increase in Speed. However, it gains a much bigger movepool and can use a new ability.
The square cuts of hair on Type: Null's mane closely resemble Gladion's who is Type: Null's trainer.
Along with the Tapu Guardians and Mr. Mime, Type: Null is one of few Pokémon in the series to have a name with two words.
In the anime, Type: Null is often referred to as Silvally, which might be just because Type: Null is simply Silvally with a containment helmet on.
At first, when Type: Null was created, it was called "Type: Full", meaning that it had the ability to change into different types like Arceus, until the experiment ended in failure.
This also refers that Type: Null is an artificial copy of Arceus.
Type: Null is one of three Pokémon created through scientific experiments by an evil organization with the other two being:
Mewtwo (created by Team Rocket).
Genesect (created by Team Plasma).
Type: Null was the highest base stat total of all Pokémon that are still able to evolve at 534, until the introduction of Duraludon's evolution Archaludon. Duraludon has a BST of 535, beating Type: Null by a single point.
Type: Null is the first Pokémon whose Spanish and Italian names are different from its English name, and the only Pokémon with this distinction that isn't a Paradox Pokémon.
Origin[]
Type: Null may be based on a gryphon or a chimera. It also has many similarities to the dragon of the Ishtar Gate in the city of Babylon, such as the feline and dragon-like legs, dragon-like shape, and crest on its head. The ring surrounding its helmet resembles the one surrounding the torso of Arceus. It may also draw inspiration from Frankenstein's Monster, especially the bolts on either side of its head. Backstory-wise, it may also be based on the EVA units from Neon Genesis Evangelion, both being cyborgs designed to fight bizarre, incredibly powerful creatures (the Ultra Beasts in Type: Null's case, the Angels in the EVA units' case), both having to wear devices that prevent them from losing control of their power (the mask in Type: Null's case, the armor in the EVA units' case), and the three instances of Type: Null created possibly referencing the three main EVA units (Unit-00, Unit-01, and Unit-02).
Etymology[]
Type: Null comes from type and null (having no legal or binding force, nothing).
