{{Arbitrary code execution}}
'''Glitch items''' are invalid items in the Pokémon games. Unavailable items such as {{FRLG}} key items in {{Emerald}} may also be considered to be glitch items, as well as unused/unavailable items such as ????? (hex:07) and BoulderBadge (hex:15) — see [[unused items]].

===In {{RGBY}}===
Glitch items occupy [[index numbers]] hex:00, hex:54 through to hex:C3 and hex:FB through to hex:FF.
Types of glitch items:
*[[Unterminated name glitch item]]s: These are items without a 0x50 byte in the first 20 characters of their name. They can be used for various [[buffer overflow]] techniques with specific tiles on the screen. When the A-Button is pressed on them without a [[0x50 sub-tile]] present on the screen, it is most likely the game will freeze.
*Lag name glitch items: These cause the items list to temporary freeze until the player taps A or B a specific number of times while scrolling up/down. It is advised to tap B instead of A due to the risk of a game freeze from an unterminated name glitch item, which could freeze the game, and potentially destroy the save data, especially on Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console versions.
*[[Rival's effect]] glitch items: These glitch items are capable of causing the Rival's effect; an effect that opens a menu and allows the player to walk through impassable tiles once it is closed with B.
*[[Partial escape glitch item]]s: These allow for the player to partially escape from a wild battle, or restart a Trainer battle.
*[[:Category:Screen data saving glitch items|Screen data saving glitch items]]: These allow for the player to create a copy of the screen while the items menu is open, which is useful for [[Rival LOL glitch]] or a similar glitch.
*String printing glitch items: These may include a variable string in the item's name
*[[Map distortion glitch item]]s: Documented by TheZZAZZGlitch, these glitch items have the capability of corrupting the map when their name is shown, in an area with a lot of grass. A player name that is four characters long or more is also required.
*[[Arbitrary code execution]] glitch items: These glitch items do not have hard coded effects; instead the effects are sourced from a pointer in rewritable memory, such as [[RAM]]. Depending on the source pointer, it is possible to manipulate the item to do almost anything in game. [[ItemDex/RB:093|8F (0x5D)]] and [[ItemDex/Y:099|ws m (0x63)]] are infamous examples in the English versions.
*RAM name glitch items: These are glitch items with randomized names. They are not known to exist in the English versions, but an example is [[ItemDexJP/B:000]] from {{JB}}.
How to obtain glitch items:
All glitch items:
*[[Dry underflow glitch]] or original [[item underflow glitch]]>[[Celadon looping map glitch]]
*[[Glitch City RAM manipulation (Cut abuse)]]: For expanded PC items
*Other [[expanded items pack]] glitches; namely, [[Super Glitch (Generation I)|Super Glitch]], [[255 Pokémon glitch]], [[ZZAZZ glitch]] and more
Some glitch items:
*[[Get glitch items using left-facing shore tile glitch (Red/Blue)]]
*[[Get glitch items using Trainer escape glitch (Yellow)]]
*[[Glitch City RAM manipulation (buffer overflow techniques)]]: For [[move 0x00 corruption]]
Many glitch items are available with the [[Celadon looping map trick]], [[Item creation glitch]] (a [[Closed menu Select glitch|Select glitch in Red/Green/Blue]]), [[Yami Shop glitch]] and other [[:Category:Poké Mart vendor glitches|Poké Mart vendor glitches]].

====TMs and HMs outside of the correct pocket====
''Main article: [[Wrong pocket TMs and HMs]]''
In addition to the regular glitch items in Gold, Silver, Crystal, all of the normal TMs and HMs will serve as glitch items when used outside of the TM/HM pack, due to having invalid execution pointers.
Below are a number of useful TMs and HMs to use outside of the relevant pocket.

===In {{RSE}}, {{FRLG}}===
There are many glitch items in these games named "[[????????]]" with no apparent use other than for arbitrary code execution setup. The hex:FFFF "????????" can be distinguished for having the 'return to menu' sprite as its sprite.
