The '''Pokémon merge glitch''', commonly known as the '''Q ◣ glitch''', is a glitch enabled by the [[glitch Pokémon]] [[Q ◣]], [['M (FF)]], | The '''Pokémon merge glitch''', commonly known as the '''Q ◣ glitch''', is a glitch in the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} [[core series]] games. It is enabled by the [[glitch Pokémon]] with [[index number]] 0xFF ([[Q ◣]], [['M (FF)]], and [[????? (FF)]]). It involves depositing that glitch Pokémon and other Pokémon into the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in a certain order, which then causes the Pokémon's [[move]]s and [[stats]] to be transferred between each other, creating an [[unstable hybrid Pokémon]]. | ||

First, the player must have a Q ◣, 'M (FF) or ????? (FF), at least one Pokémon above it and two Pokémon below it, all in the [[party]]. The Pokémon below the Q ◣, 'M (FF) or ????? (FF) will be the 'donor' to the Pokémon below it; that Pokémon will then be the donor to the Pokémon below it, etc. The Q ◣, 'M (FF) or ????? (FF) will appear in the top slot where the deposited Pokémon was, but also stay in its original spot and be the donor to the Pokémon directly below it. Each Pokémon is now an 'unstable hybrid' of it and the Pokémon that was below it. An unstable hybrid cannot be traded to Pokémon Gold, Silver, or Crystal. An unstable hybrid displays the sprite, mini-sprite and type of the 'donor' Pokémon, and evolves in the same way as it. It has the species name (shown on the second page of the summary screen), learnset, TM/HM compatibility and effective type combination of the donor Pokémon. | First, the player must have a Q ◣, 'M (FF) or ?????

Each Pokémon is now an 'unstable hybrid' of it and the Pokémon that was below it. An unstable hybrid cannot be traded from a Generation I game to Pokémon Gold, Silver, or Crystal. An unstable hybrid displays the sprite, mini-sprite and type of the 'donor' Pokémon, and evolves in the same way as it. It has the species name (shown on the second page of the summary screen), learnset, TM/HM compatibility and effective type combination of the donor Pokémon. In Generation I, an unstable hybrid Pokémon has the color palette of the recipient; in Generation II, it has the back sprite and palette of the recipient. Unstable hybrids created with the Pokémon merge glitch have the recipient's nickname. | |||
