 The '''Second type glitch''' (not to be confused with the [[List of glitches in Generation I#Dual-type Pokémon glitch|dual-type Pokémon glitch]]) is a glitch in {{game|Red and Green|s}} and the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue]]. It allows the player to transform a Pokémon into another Pokémon equating to the index number of its second type. Without the need of additional glitches, the glitch can be used for obtaining a maximum of 15 unique Pokémon species. More Pokémon are available if the player uses a [[glitch Pokémon]] with an [[List of glitch types|invalid]] second type. The glitch can be used with single-type Pokémon, because internally their "second type" is identical to their first type. It is notable for being one of the first unofficial methods of obtaining {{p|Mew}} in the [[Generation I]], through the use of a pure {{type|Water}} Pokémon, most commonly {{p|Magikarp}}. The glitch predates more popular glitches for obtaining Mew, such as the [[Mew glitch]]. The glitch is exploitable through two known methods.
-This glitch is part of a division of popular Japanese version exclusive glitches known as [[select button glitches]] (Japanese: セレクトバグ ''select bugs''), which exploit an oversight with the player's ability to register items using the select button. If the player registers an item using the select button and closes the menu, the position of the select button remains registered. Using this oversight, the player is able to swap invalid Pokémon and moves in the place of other Pokémon by entering another menu without opening the menu via the start button. This is the cause of additional glitches from "swapping" values of the game's {{wp|Random-access memory|memory}}.
