Reason given: Mention how the glitch actually works.


"Cooltrainer move" is a nickname for the nameless glitch move with HEX 00 in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow, well-known for being learnable by Ditto without a cheating device. It behaves very similarly to the Super Glitch moves, taking random names and having similar effects, though some effects seem to have variations when done with this move rather than a true Super Glitch. It's name comes from its type, Cooltrainer♀.

Is a standard move for...

  • A (Level 0)
  • Pkmn (Level 0)
  • 4h (Level 0)
  • Pkmn Pkmn T (Level 0)

Is an advanced move for...

None

How to get Ditto to learn it

Requirements

  • A Ditto at the front of the player's party.
  • A PP restoring item (Ether/Max Ether/Elixer/Max Elixer).
  • A PP Up.

Procedure

  1. Battle a wild Pokémon that the Ditto can defeat. The wild Pokémon must know more than one move.
  2. Use Transform on the Pokémon.
  3. When it's the player's turn again, press SELECT on the bottom of Ditto's move list and switch the move with the top move on the list.
  4. Defeat the Pokémon or run away.

How it works

When the third move is switched with the first move, they are still switched after the battle ends. So, assume this was a Ditto's move list:

90 00 00 00 (Transform (none) (none) (none))

When you switch the moves, it becomes this:

00 00 90 00 ((none) (none) Transform (none))

But, of course, when HEX 00 is the first move in the list, it becomes the Cooltrainer move and makes all moves below invisible. So the Ditto's moves are really:

00 00 90 00 (Cooltrainer (none) Transform (none))

and will appear as (none) (none) (none) (none).

However, Transform can be selected, and when it is used on a Pokémon with three or more moves, they can be switched back again.
