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.

Several other glitches derive from the Pomeg glitch, such as the ability to battle with an egg, battling with no Pokémon at all, or battling for an unlimited amount of times. These sub-glitches cannot be performed in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

If there is only one Pokémon in the player's party when affected by this glitch, and goes into faint status using a healing item, the player will not white out. This is because the game does not check for this on the field. If the player walks into [[tall grass]] and encounters a wild Pokémon or starts a battle in any other way, the Pokémon will be sent out with 0 HP, the {{shiny}} animation will not play, and will faint at the beginning of the battle if it is commanded to attack the opponent, causing the normal [[Black out|whiteout]] scenario. If on the first turn an item is used to revive the Pokémon the battle will continue as normal.

====Battling with an egg====
====Battling with an Egg====
If the player has only an egg in his or her party with the Pokémon affected, the egg (or rather, the Pokémon that would be inside) can be forced into battle by following the same steps, but putting the egg at the head of the party. The egg will have the same stats it would have upon hatching, as well as all of the moves. This allows it to battle as if it were a normal Pokémon. When battling with an Egg, the sprite of the Pokémon within the egg is displayed; however, there may be irregularity in the coloring of the Pokémon. This may be because the game is reading the backsprite of the Pokémon within the egg and the color palette of the egg itself.

An egg that battles can gain experience in this way, and with patience, level up, learn moves, and even evolve before hatching. However when it hatches the level is set to 5, {{EV}}s reset to zero and all [[Experience|EXP]] gained in the egg is removed. This allows level 5 versions of high-evolutionary Pokémon such as {{p|Tyranitar}} or {{p|Dragonite}} to be obtainable, it also allows otherwise illegal moveset/level combinations, such as a level 5 {{p|Staryu}} with {{m|Hydro Pump}}.

At the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]], the player can perform the glitch in a [[double battle]]. Once the battle starts, the player will send out two -----. Due to being unable to target -----, opponents will target their ally.

This can be performed with one or more Pokémon, as long as all of them are fainted or {{pkmn|Egg}}s. If performed with more than one Pokémon, the second Pokémon will appear in the first slot on the party screen, the third in the second, etc.

During the battle, if the game checks to see if either player has no Pokémon left (whenever a Pokémon takes damage and at the end of each round), the player will automatically black out if the only Pokémon they have are -----. If performed the glitch with a fainted Pokémon in the second party slot or further and a [[Revive]] or {{DL|Herbal medicine|Revival Herb}} is used to revive it mid-battle, the player will not lose; however, at the end of the round the player will be forced to switch it in. If this happens in a double battle under this glitch, the Pokémon will replace the left -----; the right -----'s sprite will remain, but its turn will always be skipped.
