The '''Mew glitch''' (also known as '''Long-range Trainer glitch''') is a [[glitch]] found in all of the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] games.

Outside of Mew, this glitch famously allows players to easily catch any other Pokémon in the game and is the easiest way to catch many unique [[glitch Pokémon]]. | ||

# Next, the player should go the [[Pokémon Center]] to save their location for the Escape Rope and to build their team of Pokémon.

Using Growl six times to minimize the attack stage modifier will result in encountering a level 1 Pokémon, which cannot normally be found and can lead to the [[experience underflow glitch]]. Conversely, {{m|Rage}} or {{m|Meditate}} can raise the level of the Pokémon that will be encountered. However, if the previous Pokémon was a wild Pokémon that is caught, then the stage modifier will be reset to 0, leaving the encountered Pokémon to appear at level 7. | Using Growl six times to minimize the attack stage modifier will result in encountering a level 1 Pokémon, which cannot normally be found and can lead to the [[experience underflow glitch]].

If the Ditto glitch is used and a [[glitch Trainer]] is encountered, the team that the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} uses corresponds to the attack stage modifier. This usually results in the game attempting to load the 7th possible [[party]] of that Trainer, which may not exist (for example, Trainer classes such as Brock, Misty, and Lance have only one valid party). If a Trainer with invalid party data is battled, the Trainer's team will likely contain glitch Pokémon. However, if the attack stage modifier is first lowered to 1, then the game will attempt to load a valid 1st party. Roster manipulation is most notable in the case of battling Professor Oak, who has three valid parties (corresponding to each of the [[ | If the Ditto glitch is used and a [[glitch Trainer]] is encountered, the team that the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} uses corresponds to the attack stage modifier.

Roster manipulation is most notable in the case of battling Professor Oak, who has three valid parties (corresponding to each of the [[first partner Pokémon]]) and so an attack stage modifier from 1 to 3 will allow the player to battle one of his otherwise inaccessible valid teams. When the game does load an 'out of bounds' roster, the game will take a team from the subsequent Trainer class or classes by index number, if one exists; for example, Bruno (233)'s roster #2 will be the same as Brock (234)'s roster #1, and Bruno (233)'s roster #7 will be the same as Blaine (239)'s roster #1 (as all Trainer classes from 233 to 239 contain only one valid party). | ||
