Glitch
- Glitches are anomalies in Video Game, they can cause various problems ranging from the purely graphical, to completely wiping entire chunks of saved data.
They are usually caused by problems with a games code, or from a player doing things the programmers did not anticipate, therefore causing the game to react unexpectedly.
In Pokémon RPGs, there are many glitches, due to the complexity of Pokémon. This page will attempt to list these glitches.
Glitch Pokémon
- A glitch Pokémon is a Pokémon that exists in a game due to a programming or level design oversight, and as it was intentionally placed inside the game by Nintendo or Game Freak, it might be hazardous to data in your game.
We warn players to steer clear of these Pokémon unless you are sure you can avoid damaging your game.

Glitch Attacks
- A Glitch attack is much like a regular attack except the results are often undesireable.
Like a glitch Pokémon, glitch attacks were not programmed into the game on purpose and many have been proven to cause damage to game cartridges.
There are ways to teach glitch attacks to certain Pokémon without usage of a cheat-code device such as Gameshark, however, most of the time only glitch Pokémon will learn glitch attacks.
The only widely known ones are those for Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow. The attacks have the same effect on all three versions.
Other Glitches
- There are other glitches out there, such as Glitch City, a broken variation of Fuschia City, accessable in Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow.
See: Glitch City.
