Planet X was a hypothetical planet orbiting beyond Neptune. It was thought to exist because it appeared there was some large object pulling on Neptune with its enormous gravity.
This was later found to be a mistake and there is no such planet.
Although a number of small planets (dwarf planets) orbiting outside Neptune have now been found. The largest of these are Pluto and Eris.

No...there never was. Scientists years ago had wondered what planet may be beyond Pluto, since they witnesses the planet being affected by another gravitational source. It turned out Pluto was just one of many "dwarf planets" out there beyond the main planets. that's why Pluto lost it's "planet status"...if we kep it as a planet, we'd have to name every minor planet discovered...and there's A LOT.
Anyhow...the effect didn't come from any ONE planet...so no "Planet X".
