The '''Mail and Trick glitches''' are glitches only found in the Japanese versions of {{RS}}.
 
It is a variation of Mail glitches, also possible with the move Thief in a Double Battle.
The '''Mail Trick glitch''', refers to in potential, an undesirable [[glitch]] regarding a Pokémon holding [[bp:Mail|Mail]] and a Pokémon knowing the move Trick. This glitch only existed within the Japanese versions of [[bp:Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]. If a player's Pokémon was holding a Mail item and the player, or the opponent's Pokémon used the move [[bp:Trick|Trick]], if the opponent Pokémon was also holding an item, the game would mention that the opponent has received the player's Mail item and that the player has received the opponent's held item, although at the end of the battle the player would still be holding the Mail.
 
In Japanese Ruby and Sapphire, it's possible for the user to swap their Mail for an item using the move [[bp:Trick (move)|Trick]]. This is not possible in the localizations or {{FRLG}} (at least v1.1) or {{Emerald}} because Trick always fails if the user is holding Mail.
After taking advantage of the problem, if the player then writes a message to the mail item and attempts to replace the item with a different one from his or her bag, its item quantity will decrease, although the player's Pokémon will not be holding it and instead, will still be holding the Mail item that it had before.
 
==First glitch==
This glitch was fixed in later versions and in the English version of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, as these games restricted the player or the opponent from using the move Trick if the other Pokémon was holding a Mail item.
After fleeing from battle after exchanging Mail for an item, the item is replaced with what it is supposed to be, but with the Mail icon instead of the regular item icon.
 
The item has an 'item' option instead of a 'Mail' option, and is said to be the correct item on the Pokémon's summary screen. It can be taken for the correct item if there is room in the pocket.
==Requirements==
 
==Ideal wild Pokémon for the glitches==
#Access to an opponent which holds an item; ideally a wild Pokémon which has a 100% chance of holding one, such as [[bp:Numel (Pokémon)|Numel]].
The [[bp:Numel|Numel]] on [[bp:Hoenn Route 112|Route 112]] always hold [[bp:Rawst Berry|Rawst Berries]], so performing the glitch with one is guaranteed. They are also pretty common. To get to Route 112 quickly, go east of [[bp:Lavaridge Town|Lavaridge Town]] down the ledges.
#Any Mail item in possession of the player.
#To extend the glitch, the player will require another item that his or her Pokémon can hold.
#To have received at least one Pokémon.
 
Be aware that a Numel's [[bp:Ember (move)|Ember]] can burn you though, causing you to lose your Rawst Berry, because it heals burns.
==Method==
 
==Steps for the first glitch==
#Attach a mail item to a Pokémon, preferably with that Pokémon knowing the move Trick.
#Level a [[bp:Kadabra (Pokémon)|Kadabra]] (obtainable by evolving [[bp:Abra (Pokémon)|Abra]] or through trade) up to level 43 so that it learns [[bp:Trick|Trick]].
#Enter a wild battle, or trainer battle and ensure that the opponent is holding an item. If the player's Pokémon does not know the move Trick, ensure that the opponent does.
#Give it a Mail item (Orange Mail is available from [[bp:Petalburg City|Petalburg City]]).
#If step two fails, return to step one and try again.
#Fly to [[bp:Lavaridge Town|Lavaridge Town]] then go east to get to Route 112, where you should jump off the ledges and enter the grass.
#Use the move Trick, or have the opponent use it, such that the opponent would receive a piece of Mail, and that the user would receive the enemy Pokémon's held item.
#Encounter a wild Numel (flee if you don't), then use Trick on it.
#Finish the battle by defeating the opponent or running away, ensuring that Trick is not used again.
#The player's Pokémon will still be holding the older piece of Mail, despite the fact that under the developer's intentions it would have gone to the opponent.
 
==ExtensionSecond glitch==
This trick is known as '''item growth''' (Japanese: アイテム増殖).
 
After performing the steps for the first part of the glitch, repeat steps 2. and 4. five times by giving Kadabra a new Mail and taking a Rawst Berry in return. You must not have 999 Rawst Berries or you'll get a message that the bag is full.
#After performing the steps mentioned above, if the player then attaches a message to the relevant Pokémon's mail and performs the steps again; the oversight will persist with an additional consequence if the player attached another item to replace it. This would lower the item's quantity as normal, although the old held item would not have been replaced with the new one. This can be repeated for the amount of times the glitch was extended, providing the player attached a new message to the Mail each time.
 
Give Kadabra Mail once more and the glitch occurs:
 
*You will not have to give Mail a message when giving it as a held item.
*You will receive another Rawst Berry from out of nowhere (only five Numels should have been encountered, but you can obtain more than five Rawst Berries). This can be repeated many times (possibly infinitely) and you don't have to use the same Mail. You can't give another piece of Mail if the number of Rawst Berries caps at 999, though.
 
==Third glitch==
After performing the second part of the glitch, choose to go to a certain location, then take off Kadabra's item. Do not fly to somewhere else after taking off Kadabra's item, or trying to perform the next step may not bring up the phrase screen.
 
Give another Pokémon a piece of Mail (possibly one that never held one before), and the phrase screen may appear with phrases already there, such as '???' and 'こい!'. Submitting the phrase strangely does not have the Pokémon hold the Mail.
 
Depending on the location, changing one of the phrases will corrupt a tile in certain coordinates. The type of tile depends on the phrase you submitted.
 
The coordinates for each phrase are as follows:
 
{| border="1"
!Phrase field
!Coordinates, [[hexadecimal]] (x, y)
|-
|No. 1
|06 0C
|-
|No. 2
|07 0C

|No. 7

Notes for the table:
 
*The phrase fields are numbered in this way: go left to right then go to the next line.
*Y increases with values further south.
*X increases with values further to the east.
 
Changing phrase four or five in Mossdeep City corrupts a tile near the water, letting the player walk on water if a suitable phrase was used (such as 'アーマルド' ([[bp:Armaldo (Pokémon)|Armaldo]], a Pokémon)
