Glitch Trainer

File:GlitchTrainer3.PNG

One of the various Glitch Trainers which can be encountered by Method #3 of the Mew glitch.

Glitch Trainers are a glitch Trainer class 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.

Pokémon Prof.

Professor Oak, who does not normally battle during Generation I gameplay, appears as a Glitch Trainer

Pokémon Prof can be battled by doing the Mew glitch with a special stat of 226.

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 Oak was originally going to be able to be battled. In the data, Oak has Level 66 Tauros, Level 67 Exeggutor, Level 68 Arcanine, Level 70 Gyarados and one of the Kanto starters at Level 69. This places his strength on-par with the player's rival, who is the Pokémon League Champion and grandson of Professor Oak. As well, four of his Pokémon are identical to the ones used by Blue, only at a higher level, so originally Oak may have been intended to be in the game as the champion, or at least another high-ranking Trainer. 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.

Chief

Main article: 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 a Team Rocket Grunt, 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.

The player encounters Jacred

Jacred is a glitch Trainer class which can only found in Generation I, its name may vary based on the name of the player and his or her rival's name, or sometimes other in-game variables. The only way to fight 'Jacred' is by performing the Mew Trick 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 Trick 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 Bulbasaurs.
