The Pomeg Berry lowers the HP {{EV}}s of a Pokémon | The Pomeg glitch involves using a [[Pomeg Berry]] on a Pokémon whose current HP is very low. 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 [[Fainting|faint]]) or a negative number. | ||
For example, if a Pokémon with 8 HP EVs currently has 1 HP out of a maximum of | For example, if a Pokémon with 8 HP EVs currently has 1 HP out of a maximum of 300, 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 298. 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 (two bytes) and be displayed as "?35" as well as the HP bar showing the incorrect amount in percent. | ||
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 | 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 4 or more current HP and 116 or more HP EVs. When a Pomeg Berry is consumed with more than 110 HP 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. The Pomeg glitch does not occur in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} or [[Generation V]] as the current HP will no longer change if it would not exceed the reduced maximum HP. In addition, in Generation V, the behavior of the Berries reducing EVs was reverted to always reducing EVs by up to 10, even if it had more than 110 EVs on that particular stat. | ||
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". | |||

Other than Eruption/Water Spout related sub-glitch, these cannot be performed in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. | ||

====Reviving Glitched Pokémon==== | |||
If a [[Potion]] is used in battle, returning the glitched Pokémon to 0 HP, and the offending Pokémon causes damage to the glitched Pokémon, the glitched Pokémon's sprite will disappear for the remainder of the battle, and the Pokémon will return to full HP, minus the damage from the previous attack. | |||

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 on the first turn an item is used to revive the Pokémon the battle will continue as normal. | ||
====Battling with an Egg==== | ====Battling with an Egg==== | ||
If the player has only an Egg in | If the player has only an Egg in their 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 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 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}}. | |||
If the player has other Pokémon in the party, to prevent [[Black out|blacking out]], the player has to use a (Max) Revive or a Revival Herb on any other Pokémon in the party. | |||
====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 high enough Sp. Atk and the opponent has a low level, low Sp. Def and double weakness to the attack. | |||
This is because [[Water Spout]] deals damage based on the user's current HP, and performing the Pomeg Glitch gives the user approximately 65535 HP. With a high enough Sp.Atk value, it causes the damage dealt to be so high it underflows to a negative value (the [[damage]] value was a {{wp|signedness|signed}} integer in this generation, which was changed to unsigned in Generation V). A full health opponent's HP bar will appear to drain, but it will not faint. An opponent with less than full HP will be healed to full HP. | |||

====Near-infinite battle==== | |||
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, which is usually over 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. | |||

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 its 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. | |||
