What makes the Crab pulsar somewhat unusual among pulsars in general?

Apart from being fairly young, it's one of the few to have a planet orbiting it. [Though this observation has yet to be authenticated]
It could also be one of the few pulsars where it's age is confirmed as the remnant was formed from SN1054 [See related question]

How do you chart dead pulsars in deep space?
Question's a little confusing: if it's "dead," it's not a pulsar.
Are all pulsars neutron stars?
All young neutron stars in reality are "pulsars". However, for a neutron star to be termed a pulsar, it's magnetic axis has to point towards Earth. (So we can see the pulse, even though all young neutron stars have a pulse, they cannot be observed from Earth.)
Why may there be more pulsars then we observe?
A "pulsar" is a rapidly rotating neutron star. The pulses are pulses of X-rays or gamma rays that are radiated continuously, but which are only detectable when the beam is pointed at the Earth.It seems likely that there are a great number of rotating neutron stars that do not happen to point at the Earth. They would not, therefore, be detectable.
What is a neutron star that sends out radio waves?
That would be called a "pulsar". See related question
Is a pulsar a white dwarf?
A pulsar is a type of neutron star, a collapsed core of an extremely massive star that exploded in a supernova. Whereas white dwarfs have incredibly high densities by earthly standards, neutron stars are even denser, cramming roughly 1.3 solar masses into a city-sized sphere.
What is the size of pulsar?
Pulsars are about half the size of Manhattan
Why does the short length of pulsar pulses eliminate normal stars as possible pulsars?
The short length of pulsar pulses eliminate normal stars as possible pulsars because normal stars do not have strong enough magnetic fields.
Why do pulsars beep?
Pulsars rotate like most stars. Pulsars also emit beams of energy which, if they cross our path are perceived as pulses of energy with a regular rate (ticks, beeps, etc). This is called the lighthouse effect. Picture a lighthouse -- the lighthouse itself is the pulsar, and the beam of light is like the pulsar's beam.
Pulsar is product of which company?
Pulsar is a Motorcycle and it is the product of Bajaj Company of India. New Reloaded Pulsars are available now at the market of different cc.
Pulsars are a form of?
A pulsar is a dead star, after it has imploded on itself it leaves behind a small planet if that is what you want to call it. so a pulsar is a form of star.
Are pulsars important to people on earth?
Most people wouldn't know what a pulsar was, so probably no.
Which was discovered most recently DNA atomic power radio waves or pulsars and quasars?
pulsar and quasars
What is the last stage in the life cycle of earths sun?
Pulsar, some Pulsars form Black Holes
What is a sentence with pulsar in it?
Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation
How do you chart dead pulsars in deep space?
Question's a little confusing: if it's "dead," it's not a pulsar.
Millisecond pulsars that are very old are?
believed to be the result of mass transfer from a companion that increases the spin of the pulsar.
What is the connection between pulsars and the Crab Nebula?
At the centre of the Crab Nebula is the neutron star - Crab pulsar.
