*Corrupting the 'used Pokémon in battle' flag to an invalid value (Pokémon #104). With careful use, the player can lose HP on that Pokémon to set an event flag; tricking the game into allowing the player to access Faraway Island or Birth Island if the tickets have been obtained with [[double corruption (Generation III)|double corruption]]. Unfortunately, no way to do this (a flag corruption trick) is known in English Emerald without [[arbitrary code execution]] (author of this article is unsure about Japanese version), however, examples of Decamarks for other versions to do it are as such: French 0x94F8, German 0x94F8, Spanish 0x2A12, Italian 0xE318.<ref>[https://pastebin.com/CuenpvCL Torchickens' Pastebin with links to Metarkrai's who documented this]</ref>
