The '''fossil conversion glitch''' (Japanese: 化石変換) is a useful [[select glitch]] in Pocket Monsters Red, Green and Blue (Japanese) that allows the player to change the [[identifier]] of a legitimate fossil Pokémon including [[bp:Kabuto (Pokémon)|Kabuto]], [[bp:Omanyte (Pokémon)|Omanyte]] or [[bp:Aerodactyl (Pokémon)|Aerodactyl]] so that it becomes another Pokémon.
All legitimate Pokémon are obtainable through this glitch, as well as many (if not all) [[glitch Pokémon]] from the versions that the glitch is possible.
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]].

#Access to at least [[bp:Cinnabar Island|Cinnabar Island]].
#At least 32 items in the items storage box.
#The valid Pokémon you switch will turn into a glitchy Pokémon, so it is recommended that it isn't valuable.
#Optional: A chosen current experience modulo 256 value on the valid Pokémon you switch, so you get the Pokémon you want.
#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
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:
