===Roaming Pokémon IV bug===
In the [[Generation III]] games, the data for a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s {{IV}}s are stored in a {{DL|Individual values|Generation III onward|32-bit integer}}. For [[roaming Pokémon]], these IVs are stored in a unique place in memory and retrieved whenever the roaming Pokémon is encountered in the wild, so that its IVs remain constant between encounters. However, a glitch causes only the last 8 bits to be transferred from this place<ref>https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=214655</ref><ref>https://projectpokemon.org/home/forums/topic/3849-legendary-beast-glitch/</ref> instead of all 32. Due to this, while the {{stat|HP}} IV is unaffected, the Pokémon can only have a maximum {{stat|Attack}} IV of 7, and the other four IVs will always be 0. Their {{m|Hidden Power}} type will always be Fighting with a power of 30 or 31.
This glitch was fixed in {{g|Emerald}}.

* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, during a [[Double Battle]], a Pokémon can consume its held [[Berry]] and switch to another Pokémon in the [[party]] holding Mail that knows {{m|Recycle}}. The Pokémon holding Mail can be hit by the move {{m|Knock Off}} to lose its Mail, then use Recycle to recover the consumed Berry, overwriting the held Mail.

Mail corruption results in an [[item]] that has the Mail icon but acts like the item held afterward. If this bug is repeated six times, Mail can be given to the Pokémon without having to attach a message, and the player can indefinitely withdraw the item from the Pokémon by giving it Mail then withdrawing it again. In Ruby and Sapphire, this can also corrupt tiles and their collision parameters based on the phrase of the buggy Mail when given to another Pokémon in the [[Party|Pokémon List]]. In FireRed and LeafGreen, this bug corrupts the [[Pokémon Storage System]] data, which allows [[arbitrary code execution]] to be performed.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia7miqTyIh8 FRLG Any% (ACE, Glitched) - 1:33:54, MachWing on YouTube]</ref>
