Glitch Trainers are glitch Trainer classes that can be battled by using the old man glitch; or the Mew glitch with special stats ranging from 201-255 in the Red/Blue versions and 201-253 in the Yellow version. Depending on the player's name, during the old man glitch a player can run into Black Belts, Gentlemen, Rival, and Pokémon Prof., among others.
When battling a glitch Trainer, the music begins as normal wild Pokémon music. Unlike other Trainers, the Glitch Trainer says nothing before or after the battle. Glitch Trainers have been known to use glitch Pokémon such as Glitchy Nidorino, Missingno., and Charizard 'M, as well as many non-obtainable glitch Pokémon such as 8 and PkMn n. Many of the Pokémon they use cannot be caught by the player through any currently known method. During the old man Glitch, you can also find trainers with Pokémon that have the trainer's sprite. The Pokémon should the last one seen by you.
If Method #3 is used and a Glitch Trainer is encountered, they will have a different team corresponding to the "attack level" number. This is affected by how many stages the Pokémon's attack stat has been raised or lowered, with 7 being default, 1 being the lowest possible, and 13 being the highest possible. Usually the game will attempt to load their 7th team in memory. Most Trainers only have one set team, causing glitchy teams if Growl is not used to lower the "level" to 1 (since they do not have a 2nd, 3rd, etc. team). The only exception is Prof. Oak and the Rival, who have three different teams based on the player's starter. This is the only way to face Prof. Oak with his original team.
Pokémon Prof.
- Pokémon Prof redirects here. For Professors specializing in Pokémon, see Pokémon Professor.
Pokémon Prof. can be battled by performing the Mew glitch with a special stat of 226, or by performing the old man glitch with the character MN in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's name.
In the Generation I games, there is unused Trainer data for a Trainer class known as Pokémon Prof., which uses the sprite of Professor Oak. This implies that it was originally going to be possible to battle Oak. In the data, Oak normally has a Level 66 Tauros, a Level 67 Exeggutor, a Level 68 Arcanine, a Level 70 Gyarados, and one of the Kanto starters at Level 69. This places his strength on-par with Blue, who is the Pokémon League Champion and grandson of Professor Oak. Additionally, four of his Pokémon are identical to the ones used by Blue, but are at higher levels, so originally Oak may have been intended to be in the game as the Champion, or at least another high-ranking Trainer, possibly in the same manner as Red in Generation II. This is supported by an email on the PC in Oak's lab, from the Pokémon League issuing a challenge to all Trainers, then specifically requesting Oak to come visit them.
When battling Pokémon Prof. via the Mew glitch, the attack of the wild Ditto must be lowered by 4, 5 or 6 stages for Professor Oak to have the Charizard team, the Venusaur team or the Blastoise team, respectively.
Professor Oak will always use a glitch team if encountered via the old man glitch. This is because a character with a hexadecimal identifier of 01, 02, or 03 would be required in the player's name for a preset team, but there are no characters of these hexadecimal identifiers.
Despite not being found in FireRed and LeafGreen, data exists for a Trainer class called "Pokémon Prof." in the game.

Chief
Chief is an unused beta Trainer class that is found in Generation I. "Chief" can be battled through the use of the Old man glitch when the player's name contains a dash in the third, fifth, or seventh letter slot. Chief's sprite is identical to that of a Scientist. The only time the word is said in the game is in Celadon City, by one of the Team Rocket Grunts, perhaps indicating that "Chief" might have appeared in other places and been able to battle the player. Unlike Pokémon Professor, however, there is no team programmed for Chief.

Jacred
Jacred is a glitch Trainer class which can only found in Generation I. Its name is derived from the preset names the player chooses for themselves and their rival, such as their names being "Jack" and "Red" will make "Jacred". The only way to fight 'Jacred' is by performing the Mew glitch with a Special stat of 200. Unlike several Glitch Trainers, Jacred has no defined sprite and can instantly crash the game when it is about to send out the first Pokémon.
Trainers which trigger ZZAZZ glitch
- Main article: ZZAZZ glitch
If the player performs Method #3 of the Mew glitch and uses a Special stat of either 251, 252, 254, or 255 he or she can encounter a glitch Trainer which will always trigger a unique glitch known as the ZZAZZ glitch. This glitch changes most in-game bytes to have a value of 153, hence the players name will be changed to consist of multiple amounts of the letter Z. Most of the player's Pokémon will be changed to level 153 Bulbasaur.
