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 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

#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]].

#Give it a Mail item (Orange Mail is available from [[bp:Petalburg City|Petalburg City]]).

#Encounter a wild Numel (flee if you don't), then use Trick on it.

 

This trick is known as '''item growth''' (Japanese: アイテム増殖).

 

*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.

 

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.
