(Need to confirm whether Fire Spin is the only move that can be used for this glitch.)

By definition, itIt is a glitch which activates an oversight in the two-player capabilities of the game's battling system., Onwhere oneplayer user'stwo sideswitching when a Mirror Moved [[bp:Bind (move)|Bind]], one[[bp:Clamp of(move)|Clamp]], his[[bp:Fire orSpin her(move)|Fire PokémonSpin]] hasor not[[bp:Wrap fainted,(move)|Wrap]] butis onin theeffect othercauses player usertwo's sidegame theto samestate Pokémonthat hasMirror faintedMove failed, meaningbut thatthe [[transmissionpartial error]]strapping willmove persistto untilcontinue theon battleplayer endsone's side.

#Access to the Cable Club.
#A working link cable.
#Player Oneone requires a Pokémon knowing [[bp:Mirror Move|Mirror Move]].
#Player Twotwo requires a Pokémon knowing [[bp:Fireone Spin|Fireof Spin]]the above partial trapping moves..
#On Playerplayer Oneone's side; a Pokémon which could be defeated in one move by Firethe Spinpartial trapping move, preferably a much lower level one.
#Ideally Playerplayer Oneone should have the Pokémon knowing Mirror Move as the first party member.
#Ideally Playerplayer Twotwo should have the Pokémon knowing Firethe partial trapping Spinmove as the first party member.
 
==Method==
 
#Both players should enter the Colosseum via the Pokémon Cable Club and request a battle.
#In battle, Playerplayer Oneone should send out the Pokémon knowing Mirror Move and Playerplayer Twotwo should send out the Pokémon knowing Firethe partial trapping Spinmove.
#If the Pokémon knowing Mirror Move is faster, have the opponent use the partial trapping move and wait until the Pokémon escapes it. If the Pokémon knowing Mirror Move is slower, have the opponent use the partial trapping move and hope it misses, then on the same turn Mirror Move it.
#Player Two should perform the move Fire Spin first, whilst Player One should use Mirror Move.
#Player two should switch his/her Pokémon to one that can be defeated in one hit by the partial trapping move, and have it hit. If it doesn't hit, you'll have to try the glitch again to see its other effects.
#Due to Mirror Move's priority; the turn should end before the move is used.
#If performed correctly, on Playerplayer Twotwo's screen Mirror Move will fail and his/her Pokémon would not faint. On Playerplayer Oneone's screen however, the game considers that Playerplayer Twotwo's Pokémon has fainted if the partial trapping move hit.
#Player Two should switch his/her Pokémon to one that can be defeated in one hit by Fire Spin.
#Communication errors will persist, including the opposing players sending out a Q, the fainted Pokémon or another glitchy Pokémon.
#If performed correctly, on Player Two's screen Mirror Move will fail and his/her Pokémon would not faint. On Player One's screen however, the game considers that Player Two's Pokémon has fainted.
 
#The game will then translate data from other parts of the RAM to manage what will happen next in battle, for example; what Pokémon Player One switches to. The [[TMTRAINER effect]] is common here.
