The '''fossil conversion glitch''' is a variation of many (Japanese: exclusive化石変換) [[glitches]],is knowna asuseful [[select bugsglitch]] onin [[bp:PokémonPocket Monsters Red and, Green|Pokémon Red and Green]].Blue It(Japanese) wasthat presumablyallows firstthe documentedplayer onto change the Japanese[[identifier]] of a legitimate fossil Pokémon glitchincluding website[[bp:Kabuto (Pokémon)|Kabuto]], [[Pokemonbug.oh.land.tobp:Omanyte (Pokémon)|Omanyte]] or [http[bp://pokemonbug.oh.land.to/rgb/kaseki.htmlAerodactyl (Pokémon)|Aerodactyl]] so that it becomes another Pokémon.
 
This glitch allows the player to change the [[identifier]] of an original legitimate fossil Pokémon such as [[bp:Kabuto (Pokémon)|Kabuto]] or [[bp:Omanyte (Pokémon)|Omanyte]] and change it to another Pokémon. As a result, allAll legitimate Pokémon are obtainable through this glitch, as well as anymany (if not all) [[glitch Pokémon]] onfrom Pokémonthe Redversions that the glitch andis Greenpossible.
 
Though the glitch is normally impossible in Yellow and the English versions, a similar glitch can be ported over to those versions with the [[international fossil conversion glitch]].
 
==Side effects==
This glitch has a bad side effect of changing the player's Fly locations, possibly to a value that freezes the game when the Fly screen is opened, but the player can work around this problem with the right 4th move on the switched valid Pokémon.
 
Another side effect of the glitch reported is not being able to use Surf, but this effect doesn't always happen. There is no known fix, but the problem can be worked around with by using the [[ItemDex/RGBY:007|????? (07)]] item to surf instead of trying to use it from a Pokémon.
 
==Explanation==
''MainSee articlealso: [[Select bugsglitch]]''.
 
As many select glitches do, the fossil conversion glitch swaps an invalid 'post-6' Pokémon slot with a valid Pokémon (specifically Pokémon #32), putting data into certain unrelated memory addresses based on the data of the Pokémon that was swapped, and putting a glitchy Pokémon that had the data in position 32 in the position where the valid Pokémon was.
''Main article:[[Select bugs]]''
 
Some of the conversions include:
 
*Pokémon's fourth move -> Fly locations byte 1 (D68A)
*Pokémon's Trainer ID byte 1 -> Fly locations byte 2 (D68B)
*Pokémon's current experience byte 3 -> Stored fossil Pokémon (D68F)
 
==Requirements==
 
#A Helix Fossil, Dome Fossil or Old Amber in the bag, or stored with the doctor in the Cinnabar Island Pokémon Lab.
#The player requires either a Helix Fossil or a Dome Fossil in his or her bag.
#The player needs accessAccess to at least [[bp:Cinnabar Island|Cinnabar Island]].
#The player needs atAt least five32 Pokémonitems in histhe oritems herstorage partybox.
#The valid Pokémon you switch will turn into a glitchy Pokémon, so it is recommended that it isn't valuable.
#The player needs at least 13 items in his or her PC.
#Optional: A chosen current experience modulo 256 value on the valid Pokémon you switch, so you get the Pokémon you want.
#The data of the fifth Pokémon will be corrupted, so to eliminate any side-effects of the glitch it is reccommended that it is not valuable.
#Optional: A chosen fourth move on the valid Pokémon you switch, so you don't get a fly locations [[word]] that freezes the game after opening the Fly menu.
 
==Method==
Prepare a Pokémon with a current experience value modulo 256 of the Pokémon of your choice. See [[the Big HEX List]] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20180922221118/http://www.geocities.jp/kattempla/pokebug/pokename.html this list (archived)] for more information. If you need to convert from hexadecimal to decimal, you can use Windows Calculator on 'Programmer' mode.
 
Also, so that you don't risk getting Fly locations that freeze the game, it's recommended that the Pokémon has one of the following moves in move 4:
 
*01: Pound
*03: Doubleslap
*07: Fire Punch
*0F: Cut
*1F: Fury Attack
*3F: Hyper Beam
*7F: Waterfall
 
Waterfall (7F), learned by Goldeen at level 37 and Seaking at level 39, is the best valid move, because at worst (with the Player ID byte 1 as 00) only Saffron City, Fuschia City and the Pokémon League are omitted, and at best only Fuschia City is omitted.
 
#Go to the scientist in Cinnabar Lab and choose to resurrect any fossil. Exit the lab but don't re-enter and receive it yet.
#Presuming that the player has at least five Pokémon in the party and a thirteenth item in the PC, he or she should go to the fossil scientist in Cinnabar Island and resurrect any fossil.
#Before returningGo to obtain the originalPC fossilin Pokémon,Cinnabar the player should to theIsland's Pokémon Center and access histhe orItems herStorage PCSystem.
#The player should useUse the select button on histhe or32nd her 13thPC item in the PC, and then exit using thewith CancelB, optionB.
#Go to the Pokémon Mansion and encounter any Pokémon.
#The player should encounter a Pokémon in the Cinnabar Mansion (if he or she uses a Rod or the move Surf the select button will have been deselected).
#Within the battle, the player should go to the Pokémon screen and select the fifthany Pokémon.
#After choosing the 'RUN' option, if the player returns to the scientist and receives his or her Pokémon itthey will benotice receivedit has asbecome another Pokémon. (dependingThe Pokémon has an index number equal to the total experience (modulo 256) of the valid shifted Pokémon.)
