▲However, aside from the Species name of the very first glitch Pokémon that are based off moves names, most of a Glitch Pokémon Data is completely different between different versions of Generation III games (differences between an English Ruby and an English Sapphire, differences between an English Ruby and an English Emerald, differences between an English Ruby and a Spanish Ruby), leading to hundreds of thousands of different Glitch Pokémon across 6x5=30 Generation III Games.

▲In every Generation III game, when a NPC such as Slateport Pokemon Fan Club Journalist or Island Two Old Woman reads a Glitch Pokémon species name, the whole species name is read, which overwrites a string of RAM data in the process.

▲Every NPC that read a species name except Slateport Pokémon Fan Club Journalist will freeze the game when reading a species name who contains more than 100-200 characters.

▲Making a glitch Pokémon gain levels can freeze the game (supposed to either be because of an evolution attempt, loading the glitch pokémon species name, trying to learn too many moves at once, trying to learn a glitch move, or not being able to parse with the experience curve).

▲In Emerald and Fire Red & Leaf Green, a glitch Pokémon species name is fully read (and fully written in RAM) when the player goes over the Glitch Pokémon in the PC. This RAM overwriting messes with graphical data related to PC graphics. Changing PC Boxes and selecting Pokémon can quickly and randomly crash the game, while closing the PC will clear off all the graphical issues.

▲If the species name is long enough, the overwriting can mess up with the Pokémon Selection mechanic and allow for Cloning and Reverse Cloning. Species name even longer can alter the music as well as the overworld background, even though these effects are not retained by saving and soft-resetting.

▲The cloning procedure also generates a PC Pokémon with data taken from the Glitch Pokémon's species name. If the PC Pokémon data is empty enough, an Invisible Bad Egg (a corrupted hex:0000 ) may be generated. An Invisible Bad Egg can be used to deposit every Party Pokémon that was alive with a technique called Decaswitch.

▲The Pokémon's second sprite and sprite animation is supposed to be the cause behind the important number of Glitch Pokémon that crash the game when their summary is seen.

▲Most of the Glitch Pokémon in Emerald crash the game when their summary page is opened, or when they hatch from an Egg. Thus, a double corruption is mandatory to obtain them in order to not go through a hatching sequence.

▲In Ruby and Sapphire, the whole species name is read when viewing a glitch Pokémon summary. The glitch Pokémon sprite is always the ? white mark inside circles.

▲It seems that only a handful of Glitch Type Sprites can freeze the game, even though viewing the summary screen of a Glitch Pokémon causes a string of bytes in RAM to be overwritten by the species name. This RAM overwriting can be used to remove the Safari Mode while inside Safari Zone, even though a large part of the story flags and bag contents becomes corrupted (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD7UCBv0ozA ).

▲All of the ?????????? can be obtained with the [[Pomeg corruption glitch]] by performing a double-corruption on certain PC Pokémon, or through the use of a [http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,2094.msg23867.html#msg23867 wild Pokémon modifier code] for a [[cheating device]].

▲It is also possible to see the Pokédex entry of a Glitch Pokémon by trading data with a save file who possesses that glitch Pokémon in its party and by stealing it from the secret base trainer that appeared after the data exchange.
