List of glitches (Generation III): Difference between revisions

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation III]] [[Pokémon games]].

===256× item selling glitch===

When selling 256 or more of an item, even though the [[Poké Mart]] states the correct price, for every 256 the total price is actually counted as {{PDollar}}0 and the player loses {{PDollar}}2560 for every multiple of 256. For example, selling 999 Berries gives {{PDollar}}2310 (0 for 768, +2310 for 231). This is normally only possible with [[Berry|Berries]] because they are the only items that the player can hold more than 99 of, although through cheating the glitch can be performed with other items as well.

===Infinite Nugget glitch===

{{GlitchResearch|Check the Japanese version.}}

If a [[roaming Pokémon]] uses {{m|Roar}} to flee from battle, it will permanently disappear from the game. Most notably, this means that if the {{p|Raikou}} or {{p|Entei}} player encounters during the post-game uses Roar before it is caught, it cannot be encountered again, unless the game is reset to the state which it was in before the encounter.

===Roaming IV glitch===

This glitch causes [[roaming Pokémon]] to have extremely low {{IV}}s.

In [[Generation III]], the data for a Pokémon's IVs are stored in a [[Individual values#Generation III|32-bit integer]]. However, when a roaming Pokémon is captured, only the last eight bits are transferred. While the {{stat|HP}} IV is unaffected, the Pokémon can only have a maximum {{stat|Attack}} IV of 7. The other IVs will always be 0.

===Battle Tower cloning glitch===

The details on the description for the move {{m|Vital Throw}} show it as having 100% {{stat|accuracy}}, despite the move hitting the opposing Pokémon regardless of accuracy and {{stat|evasion}}.
