The '''Blaine Super Potion glitch''' is a [[natural glitch]] which occurs in {{RB}}.
Blaine is able to use a Super Potion on one of his Pokémon even if it has full HP. This is unlike other Trainers who may randomly use a healing items only if thetheir Pokémon's HP is not full and it is below a certain ratio. This doesn't cause the HP of Blaine's Pokémon to be raised above the maximum; instead, it merely stays the same.

This oversight may have been fixed in (at least the English version of) Pokémon Yellow, where it appears to be impossible to have Blaine use a Super Potion on a Pokémon with full HP.
