While many glitches have no real in-game utility, it is possible to use some of them as a benefit for the [[player character|player]]. The most well known examples of such thing are the [[Mew glitch]] and [[Tweaking]], used in order to catch {{p|Mew}} and to get the {{key|IV|Member Card}} or {{key|IV|Oak's Letter}}, respectively.

{{main|Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon#RNG abuse}}
This cheating method characterizes itself as the abuse of the game's [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|Random Number Generator]], also known as RNG. Such abuse can be done in many ways, that can be exploited by players with the objective of increasing the odds of finding a wild pokémon that has either got higher [[stats]] or [[Shiny Pokémon|the shinyness characteristic]].

A cheat that may be considered one of the most useful, the "Wild Pokémon Modifier" code is used to make any Pokémon of choice appear in any location, readily available for capture to build a collection of an unlimited amount of desired Pokémon easily with little to no negative effects to the save file. The wild Pokémon modifier code can also be used to make [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] appear in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]], although as the game will attempt to bring up a nonexistent [[Pokédex]] entry upon capture, the game will freeze.
