The glitch Trainer is usually seen sending out a [[level]] 153 [['M (FF)]]{{sup/1|RB}} or a [[Q ◣]]{{sup/1|Y}} with an extremely long {{stat|Hit Points|HP}} bar; attempting to use a [[move]] or even just view the [[party]] will cause the game to freeze due to the corruption. However, the Trainer can be easily escaped by using any [[item]] (as long as it does not display the party, such as any type of [[Poké Ball]]); doing so automatically causes the battle to end (also due to the corruption). During and after the battle, the player can see that every Pokémon in their party except each third one has been changed to a level 153 {{p|Bulbasaur}} whose first, second, and fourth moves are all {{m|Explosion}}; the player's name except for every third letter has also been overwritten with capital Z's (hence the name of the glitch). All of these correspond to index number 0x99. | The glitch Trainer is usually seen sending out a [[level]] 153 [['M (FF)]]{{sup/1|RB}} or a [[Q ◣]]{{sup/1|Y}} with an extremely long {{stat|Hit Points|HP}} bar; attempting to use a [[move]] or even just view the [[party]] will cause the game to freeze due to the corruption.

Although the player's name has been corrupted, the [[Original Trainer|OT]] values of the party Pokémon have not, causing them to be treated as [[outsider Pokémon]].

Combined with the fact that most of them are level 153, they will always disobey the player (as not even the {{badge|Earth}} is programmed to make Pokémon over level 100 obey). | ||
If the player attempts to battle a regular Trainer after triggering the glitch, that Trainer will become a glitch Trainer with the player's sprite. Their name will either be the player's original name, their ZZAZZ-glitched name, or sometimes a different glitched name, and their party will again consist mainly of several [['M (FF)]] or [[Q ◣]]. Attempting to battle this Trainer will not outright cause the game to crash, although attempting to view the player's party still will. Using items will not end the battle this time. The Trainer is almost impossible to defeat, as the player's Pokémon will not obey (and/or will [[faint]] themselves with Explosion, causing the party menu to appear and crash the game), and at least one of the Trainer's level 153 Pokémon has an extremely large amount of HP. | If the player attempts to battle a regular Trainer after triggering the glitch, that Trainer will become a glitch Trainer with the player's sprite.
