Glitch Pokédex sorting

This article is a summary page for different variations of a glitches, etc. when talked about as a whole.

Glitch Pokédex categories are invalid Pokédex listing categories found in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal.

Like valid categories including "New Pokédex mode", "Old Pokédex mode" and "A to Z mode", there are glitch Pokédex categories which affect or are interpreted by the game in unintended ways.

Like with many glitch things, glitch Pokédex categories can execute arbitrary code, such as glitch mode 09's execution of FA20 (Echo RAM for DA20) in Crystal.

Accessing glitch Pokédex categories

The address D67E in Pokémon Gold and Silver or D959 in Pokémon Crystal controls the current Pokédex category loaded for when the player opens the Pokédex.

This means the GameShark code 01xx7ED6 in Gold and Silver or 01xx59D9 in Crystal will change the Pokédex mode.

With glitches, the duplicate key items glitch can be used to set up the expanded Balls pocket, where the glitch Pokédex category can be modified from the balls beyond ball 12.

Another way of accessing arbitrary code in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal is through the Coin Case glitch (in English Gold/Silver only) or TMs and HMs outside of the correct pocket. The glitch TM/HM method is ideal because TMs and HMs can be forced into the PC items; also available through the expanded Balls pocket.
