This method can be used to catch any Pokémon in the game, even some glitch Pokémon. While a Pokémon with a special stat of 21 will give one Mew, using a Pokémon with a different special stat will give the player a different Pokémon. For example, in the Red/Blue versions, if a Pokémon with a Special stat of 198 is used, a glitch called "[[LM4]]" will appear instead of Mew. (See [http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html]). There are, however, some glitch Pokémon such as [[8]] and [[PkMn n]]  which cannot be caught using this method. Some Special stats will cause glitch {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to appear. They may be glitched versions of regular in-game trainers, such as [[Bruno]] with [[Blaine]]'s party.

===Level 1 Pokémon===
First the player must go to [[Viridian Forest]]. The player must locate the second to last trainer<!--more specific plz--> and be out of his view, but still able to see him. The player must then walk one space and come into his view, then imediately press start and use an escape rope to go to the [[Pewter City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. The A, B, Start, and Select buttons will not work. Now the player must try to go out of Pewter City towards [[Mt. Moon]]. An NPC will stop the player and show him to the Pewter City Gym. Now the player must go to the small patch of grass south of Pewter City and North of Viridian Forest. The player must encounter a Pokémon and use {{m|Growl}} on it 6 times. (Try again and Growl less if the player gets a level 0 Pokémon at the end, instead of 1.<!--This is no good, should be definate about number of times-->) Now walk into the forest and the message "Do you have a {{p|Pikachu}}?" will appear. A Pokémon battle with a level 1 Pokémon will then start. The player must catch it. If the player uses it in a Pokémon battle and it levels up it should skip straight to level 100, as long as that Pokémon is one of any fully-evolved Pokémon or Mew<!--complete list?-->, as the algorithm for the experience to the next level for those Pokémon is glitched and takes the experience to level 2 as a rather large negative number (which displays as a large positive number). The player can obtain different level 1 Pokémon by facing different Pokémon to the patch of grass south of Pewter City and North of Viridian Forest.<!--List--> This glitch was removed in {{v|Yellow}}.


==Why level 7?==
==Why level 7?==
In Method #3, A [[Pokémon]] encountered using the Mew glitch is most commonly level 7 because as one Pokémon's Special Stat corresponds to the index number of the Pokémon, the Pokémon's level also corresponds to the attack stage of the last encountered Pokémon. This is usually 7, presuming the opponent's attack stage is neutral, but will range from 1 to 15 depending on how many attack boosts or drops the opponent received. For example, if the player used [[Growl]] on the Pokémon six times, he or she could encounter a level 1 Pokémon. However, Pokémon ranging from levels 14 to 256 (0) cannot be found this way without the use of an external device, because a Pokémon cannot have more than six attack boosts or drops without cheating.  [http://glitchcity.info/docs/ditto]

If Method #3 is used and a Glitch Trainer is encountered, they will a different team corresponding to the "level" number. Usually the game will attempt to load their 7th team in memory. Most Trainers only have one set team, causing glitchy teams if Growl is not used six times (since they do not have a 2nd, 3rd, etc. team). The only exception is [[Professor Oak|Prof. Oak]] and the [[Rival]], who have three different teams based on the [[player character|player's]] starter. This is the only way to face Prof. Oak with his original team without a [[cheating]] device.

===Glitch Pokémon===
Many of the  Glitch Pokémon encountered are unobtainable, as they correspond to Glitch Trainers or are unstable when encountered. As a result if other methods such as evolution do not work the glitch Pokémon may be unobtainable without an external device. Some of these glitches also correspond with glitchy trainers such as 'Chief' 'ZZAZZ' and 'Jacred' with the [[ZZAZZ Glitch]] having dangerous side-effects.
