[[File:Glitch Trainer battle.png|thumb|Battling a glitch Trainer]]

Hi! I am fungi123. This section is all about glitch trainers. ''Do NOT encounter them. Will crash your game.''

Glitch Trainers can be battled in one of two ways: the [[old man glitch]] (if the player's name contains certain special characters in the 3rd, 5th, or 7th slot) or the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} (using {{stat|Special}} stats ranging from 201-255{{sup/1|RB}} or 201-253{{sup/1|Y}}).

 

When battling a glitch Trainer, the music begins as normal wild Pokémon music. Unlike other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, glitch Trainers say nothing before or after the battle, and often use [[glitch Pokémon]].

 

If the player encounters a glitch Trainer via the old man glitch, the preceding character to the one that caused the battle will be used to determine which team will be used. If the player encounters a glitch Trainer via the Ditto glitch, the "Attack stage" of the Ditto used will be used to determine which team will be used. The Attack stage is how many stages the Ditto's {{stat|Attack}} stat has been raised or lowered; 7 is the default, 1 is the lowest possible, and 13 is the highest possible. When encountering Trainers via the old man glitch, only very high team numbers are used due to the fact that the characters that can be put in the player's name all have high index numbers. When encountering Trainers via the mew glitch, unless Ditto's Attack stage is changed, the game will load the 7th team. Most Trainers only have one set team, causing glitchy teams if not encountered via the Ditto glitch and having the Ditto's Attack lowered to stage 1 (since they do not have a 2nd, 3rd, etc. team). The only exceptions are [[Professor Oak|Prof. Oak]] and the {{ga|Blue}}, who have three different teams based on the {{player}}'s [[starter Pokémon]]. This is the only way to face Prof. Oak with his original team.

If the player performs the Ditto glitch and uses a {{stat|Special}} stat of either 251, 252, 254, or 255, the [[ZZAZZ glitch]] will be triggered. This glitch changes most in-game bytes to have a value of 153, hence the players name will be changed to consist of multiple amounts of the letter "Z" (index number 153). Most of the player's Pokémon will be changed to level 153 {{p|Bulbasaur}} (index number 153).

Glitch Trainers may appear in the [[Trainer House]] as a result of the [[Trainer House glitch]].

[[File:PkmnProfWantsToFight.png|thumb|[[Professor Oak]], who cannot normally be battled]]

'''Prof. Oak''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|オーキドせんせい|Ōkido-sensei}}''' ''Instructor Oak'') can be battled by performing the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} with a Special stat of 226, or by performing the [[old man glitch]] with the character {{MN}} in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's name. Interestingly, the Japanese script uses an apparent earlier name for Professor Oak—he is normally called '''{{tt|オーキドはかせ|Ōkido-hakase}}''' ''Dr. Oak''.

In the [[Generation I]] games, there is [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused]] Trainer data for Prof. Oak. This implies that it was originally going to be possible to battle him.

In the data, Oak normally has a level 66 {{p|Tauros}}, a level 67 {{p|Exeggutor}}, a level 68 {{p|Arcanine}}, a level 70 {{p|Gyarados}}, and one of the Kanto [[starter Pokémon]] at level 69. This places his strength on-par with {{ga|Blue}}, who is the [[Pokémon Champion]] and grandson of Professor Oak. Additionally, four of his Pokémon are identical to the ones used by Blue, but are at higher levels, so originally Oak may have been intended to be in the game as the Champion, or at least another high-ranking Trainer, possibly in the same manner as {{ga|Red}} in [[Generation II]]. This is supported by an email on the PC in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], from the [[Indigo League]] issuing a challenge to all Trainers and specifically requesting Oak to come visit them.

When battling Prof. Oak via the Mew glitch, the Attack of the wild {{p|Ditto}} must be lowered by 4, 5 or 6 stages for Prof. Oak to have the {{p|Charizard}} team, the {{p|Venusaur}} team or the {{p|Blastoise}} team, respectively.

'''Chief''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|シルフのチーフ|Shirufu no Chīfu}}''' ''{{tt|Silph|Sylph}}'s Chief'') is an unused [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|beta]] [[Trainer class]] that is found in the [[Generation I]] games. Chief can be battled through the use of the [[old man glitch]] when the {{player}}'s name contains a dash in the third, fifth, or seventh letter slot, via the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 227. Chief's sprite is the one of a {{tc|Scientist}}. The only time the word is said in-game is in [[Celadon City]], by one of the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s, perhaps indicating that Chief might have appeared in other places and been able to battle the player. The Japanese name indicates that the player would fight the head of [[Silph Co.]] Unlike Prof. Oak, there is no team programmed for Chief.

 

'''Jacred''' is a [[glitch]] [[Trainer class]]. Its name is derived from the preset names the player chooses for themselves and their rival, such as their names being "Jack" and "Red" will make "Jacred". The only way to fight 'Jacred' is by performing the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 200. Unlike other glitch Trainers, Jacred has no defined sprite and can instantly [[Game freeze|crash the game]] when it is about to send out the first Pokémon.
