Glitch: Difference between revisions

A glitch [[move]], is a move not intended to be part of the game, but can be accessed through the use of glitches. In [[Generation I]], many glitch moves are named after TMs or HMs; TMs numbered {{m|TM01|01}} to {{m|TM55|55}} and HMs numbered {{m|HM01|01}} to {{m|HM05|05}} exsist as moves. However, some have [[-- (move)|no name]] or a [[Super Glitch|glitched, unreadable name]]. Some glitch moves are of known glitch types, but others have either no readable type or an unknown type, and are often referred to collectively as "{{m|Super Glitch}}". Usually only glitch Pokémon will learn glitch attacks.

One way of teaching a Pokémon in [[Generation I]] a glitch move is trading to a [[Generation II]] game a Pokémon that will evolve by trading at a level when it will learn an attack in the next generation game, and then trading it back to the Generation I game. For example, trading a level 50 {{p|Haunter}} from {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}} to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} will make the Haunter evolve into {{p|Gengar}}. Since it is level 50, it will learn {{m|Destiny Bond}}. If it is then traded back to Pokémon Red, it will still have the move, but the game won't recognize it properly since it is a Generation II move, so will become a glitch move.
