The term '''transform glitch''' refers to a glitch in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It occurs after a Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Transform}} uses the move {{m|Rage}} after transforming until the "Rage is building" message is shown followed by either capturing or defeating the enemy Pokémon.  
{{GlitchResearch|Pokémon Battle Revolution}}
The '''Rage glitch''' is a glitch in {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. If a Pokémon uses {{m|Rage}}, then subsequently changes to a different move, it removes all volatile [[status condition]]s from that Pokémon, except Rage.


At the end of the battle the user's Pokémon will have the same moveset as the enemy Pokémon. Exploiting this glitch allows for {{p|Ditto}} to learn moves other than {{m|Transform}} and to subsequently pass down any [[Egg move]].
Most significantly, this causes a {{m|transform}}ed Pokémon to no longer be considered transformed. If this happens, the Pokémon retains its transformed moveset after battle.


==Effects==
==Mechanics==
A transformed Pokémon after using {{m|Rage}} at least once (but receiving the "Rage is building" message) will permanently learn the moves of the Pokémon that it transformed into. It will however, be able to re-learn any move that it may have forgotten prior to using the glitch from the Move Relearner. For example, {{p|Ditto}} can relearn {{m|Transform}} after forgetting it.
{{incomplete|section|needs=Full list of affected status conditions}}
In the [[Generation IV]] games, using the move {{m|Rage}} gives the Pokémon a volatile [[status condition]] that causes its Rage to build whenever it is hit by an attack. If the Pokémon uses a move other than Rage, it is supposed to lose the Rage status; however, due to an oversight, the Pokémon instead loses every volatile status except Rage.


If a {{p|Ditto}} manages to learn an [[egg move]] through this glitch the player may be able to pass it down in the daycare if the paired Pokémon is female.
This affects the following volatile statuses:
* [[bound|Binding]]
* {{status|Curse}}
* {{status|Confusion}}
* [[Infatuation]]
* {{status|Substitute}}
* {{status|Torment}}
* {{m|Transform}}
* [[Escape prevention|Trapping]]


This glitch is not exclusive to {{p|Ditto}}, as Pokémon that can learn Transform ({{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Mew}}) as well as Pokémon which can use the move through {{m|Mimic}} are also able to exploit this glitch.

==Transform==
Removing {{m|Transform}} in particular has significant implications, as it allows the transformed Pokémon keep its transformed moveset permanently after the end of the battle.
The glitch allows any Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Transform}}, {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Copycat}}, {{m|Assist}} or {{m|Metronome}} to learn any move (other than {{m|Chatter}} or {{m|Struggle}}) due to the possible incorporation of {{p|Smeargle}}. Performing this glitch allows Ditto to earn {{pkmn|Super Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s.
One application of this is to teach {{p|Ditto}} another Pokémon's [[Egg Move]]s, then breed it with a female Pokémon to pass down the Egg Moves to the hatched Pokémon.
===Performing the glitch===
====Basic====
The glitch occurs after a Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}}, then uses the move {{m|Rage}} while transformed until the "Rage is building" message is shown. Afterward, either the opponent must be caught, or the enemy Pokémon must be defeated by a move other than Rage. If the Pokémon trying to change its moves faints or switches out before the battle ends, the glitch will not work.

====Extended====
This glitch can also be exploited by using Transform through {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Copycat}}, {{m|Metronome}} and {{m|Assist}}. However, it can only be performed within a [[Double Battle]] (unless the foe happens to be a Ditto). After the "Rage is building" message is displayed, the Pokémon that will change its moves must defeat the enemy. Additionally, the opponent cannot be defeated with Rage. If the Pokémon trying to change its moves faints or switches out before the battle ends, the glitch will not work.
