 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" 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 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 V]] EV Berries always decrease EVs by 10, and will no longer decrease EVs by more than 10 if the Pokémon has over 100 EVs, making the Pomeg glitch unusable.
