The Pomeg Berry lowers the HP {{EV}}s of a Pokémon by 10 in [[Generation III]]. Since every 4 EVs is equivalent to 1 HP (at level 100), the Pokémon's HP will decrease with each Pomeg Berry used, as long as the Pokémon has 4 or more EVs in HP. In this way, it is possible to lower the Pokémon's current HP to 0 (without causing it to faint) or a negative number. | ||
For example, if a Pokémon with 8 HP EVs currently has 1 HP out of a maximum of 100, using a Pomeg Berry will decrease the EVs to 0. As a result, the Pokémon should lose 2 HP and have a current HP of -1 and a maximum of 98. However, due to the [[wp:Unsigned integer|unsigned]] manner in which this data is stored, the game interprets a negative number as a very high number; therefore, if a Pokémon's current HP drops to -1, it will be interpreted as 65,535 and be displayed as "?35". | For example, if a Pokémon with 8 HP EVs currently has 1 HP out of a maximum of 100, using a Pomeg Berry will decrease the EVs to 0.

In [[Generation IV]], the glitch was partially corrected so that a Pomeg Berry could not glitch a Pokémon with 3 or fewer HP (a Pomeg Berry will usually decrease a Pokémon's HP by 2). However, the glitch still exists but must be performed on a Pokémon with greater than 4 current HP and 116 or more HP EVs. When a Pomeg Berry is consumed with more than 100 EVs, it resets the EVs to 100. With an EV total of 116, the Pokémon would lose at least 4 HP to reach 0 current HP. | In [[Generation IV]], the glitch was partially corrected so that a Pomeg Berry could not glitch a Pokémon with 3 or fewer HP (a Pomeg Berry will usually decrease a Pokémon's HP by 2).

The player can undo the effects by simply healing in a [[Pokémon Center]] or using a [[Revive]] when the HP goes back to 0 after using a healing item during which the HP is at "?35". | |||

If there is only one Pokémon in the player's party when affected by this glitch, and goes into faint status using a healing item, the player will not white out. This is because the game does not check for this on the field. If the player walks into [[tall grass]] and encounters a wild Pokémon or starts a battle in any other way, the Pokémon will be sent out with 0 HP, the {{shiny}} animation will not play, and will faint at the beginning of the battle if it is commanded to attack the opponent, causing the normal [[Black out|whiteout]] scenario. If on the first turn an item is used to revive the Pokémon the battle will continue as normal. | If there is only one Pokémon in the player's party when affected by this glitch, and goes into faint status using a healing item, the player will not white out.

If the player has only an | If the player has only an Egg in his or her party with the Pokémon affected, the Egg (or rather, the Pokémon that would be inside) can be forced into battle by following the same steps, but putting the Egg at the head of the party. The Egg will have the same stats it would have upon hatching, as well as all of the moves. This allows it to battle as if it were a normal Pokémon. When battling with an Egg, the sprite of the Pokémon within the Egg is displayed; however, there may be irregularity in the coloring of the Pokémon. This may be because the game is reading the backsprite of the Pokémon within the Egg and the color palette of the Egg itself. | ||
An | An Egg that battles can gain experience in this way, and with patience, level up, learn moves, and even evolve before hatching. However when it hatches the level is set to 5, {{EV}}s reset to zero and all [[Experience|EXP]] gained in the Egg is removed. This allows level 5 versions of high-evolutionary Pokémon such as {{p|Tyranitar}} or {{p|Dragonite}} to be obtainable, it also allows otherwise illegal moveset/level combinations, such as a level 5 {{p|Staryu}} with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. | ||
====Healing with Eruption/Water Spout==== | |||
If the Pokémon that has been affected by the glitch uses Eruption or Water Spout, the attack may heal the opponent if the user has enough Sp. Atk and the opponent has low level, low Sp. Def and double weakness to the attack. | |||

If the Pokémon that has been affected is sent out with 65,535 HP against an opponent that uses an HP-stealing move like {{m|Absorb}}, the Pokémon's HP will be stolen until it reaches the normal maximum amount, nearly 65,000 HP lower than the glitched amount for a Pokémon with the absolute maximum HP. If a second HP-stealing move is used, the Pokémon will lose its full HP, go down to 0, and then repeat from the top again. | If the Pokémon that has been affected is sent out with 65,535 HP against an opponent that uses an HP-stealing move like {{m|Absorb}}, the Pokémon's HP will be stolen until it reaches the normal maximum amount, nearly 65,000 HP lower than the glitched amount for a Pokémon with the absolute maximum HP.

The second step is letting a turn pass either by use of the [[Oran Berry]] on the glitched Pokémon, moves with little or no damage to the foe, or wait for it to use the effective move twice, unless the player's Pokémon has been damaged before. If this were to happen, it will only require being hit once by the effective move. | ||

====Access Pokémon beyond slot 6==== | |||
This sub-glitch allows the player to access Pokémon beyond slot 6. | |||
To do this, the player has to have at least 3 Pokémon in their party, one to four fainted, one normal, and one affected by the Pomeg glitch. | |||
The player should enter a wild battle with their Pomeg glitched Pokémon, swap to their normal Pokémon, and then run. After doing this, the normal Pokémon should be deposited into a PC at a Pokémon Center, and then a Potion should be used on the Pomeg-affected Pokémon to get it's HP at 0. Once done, entering any battle will cause the player to send out [[Ten question marks|??????????]], and viewing its Pokémon screen, looking at any of its stats, exiting the stat screen, and then scrolling down allows the player access Pokémon beyond the 6th slot. | |||

If this happens in a Double Battle under this glitch, the Pokémon will replace the left -----; the right -----'s sprite will remain, but its turn will always be skipped. | ||
