===Mail corruption===
{{incomplete|section}}
Although later games disallow the removal of {{DL|Mail|Generation III|Mail}} during a battle, these games allow in-battle Mail removal due to oversights. This allows the player to corrupt the held Mail.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyjCYoOigfU A Piece of Mail Just BROKE Gen 3 Pokemon Speedruns Forever, PulseEffects on YouTube]</ref>
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the [[move]] {{m|Thief}} can be used on the player's own Pokémon in a Double Battle to move Mail from one Pokémon to another.
* In the Japanese versions of Ruby and Sapphire only, the [[move]] {{m|Trick}} can be used to switch Mail with the [[held item]] of the opposing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* In all Generation III games, 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=p7sHAlGTclo Speedrunners FINALLY Broke Pokemon Fire Red After 19 Years, PulseEffects on YouTube]</ref>

===Status condition delayed cure glitch===
If a Pokémon with a [[status condition]] that has an [[Ability]] that cures that status condition (e.g. a {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} Pokémon with {{a|Limber}}) is sent into battle as one of the lead Pokémon or to replace a fainted Pokémon, or gains that Ability due to {{a|Trace}}, it will not be cured of its status condition until after a Pokémon takes its turn (uses a move, switches out, etc.). However, it will be immediately cured of the status condition if it is switched in to replace a switched out Pokémon (including if switched in via {{m|Baton Pass}}).
Likewise, if a Pokémon with {{a|Trace}} is {{status|confusion|confused}} due to obtaining it from {{m|Baton Pass}}, if it gains {{a|Own Tempo}} via Trace it will not be cured of confusion until after a Pokémon takes its turn (uses a move, switches out, etc.).

===Shed Skin does not clear Nightmare===
Any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} awoken through {{a|Shed Skin}} will not be cleared of {{m|Nightmare}}. This means the Nightmare damage is still applied, even though the target no longer {{status|sleep}}s.
This bug has been addressed in {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} - interestingly enough the developers also implemented another fail safe in the code of Nightmare in those versions, so it clears the condition, if it detects the victim not being asleep.
