Presuming that the player wanted to give the move Horn Attack to a Magikarp. First, he or she would have select an empty box on the PC, and then deposit a Pokémon in the box (any Pokémon will work, but Rattata is used in this example). Next, the player has to deposit [[GlitchDex/Y:255|Q]] or [[GlitchDex/RB:255|Charizard 'M]] in the box. After that, the player has to deposit the Pokémon that he or she wants to gain the new moves, in this case Magikarp. Finally, deposit the Pokémon with the moves that the player wants the other Pokémon to have, in this case Rhyhorn. After depositing these Pokémon, the contents of the player's box should be similar to this:

The names in parentheses show which Pokémon each of these really is. The player's Rhyhorn has now become a Magikarp, and the player's Magikarp has now become a Q or Charizard 'M. However, these Pokémon have retained their own stats. Their stats should look like this:

The player now has a Magikarp with the stats and name of a Rhyhorn. This is what is often referred to as an unstable [[hybrid]]. It is unstable because the data concerning the Pokémon's identification has been mixed up, and it is no longer a normal Pokémon. [[Hybrid]] Glitches could also be considered as unstable hybrids because they have some of the data of another Pokémon.

In order to stabilise this Magikarp, the player can evolve the Pokémon into a Gyarados. When this Magikarp becomes a Gyarados, its stats will become those of a normal Gyarados, but it will retain its altered moves. This Gyarados is now a perfectly stable, normal Pokémon. Stabilizing hybrids by evolving them is important if the player wants to trade the Pokémon to Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Silver or Pokémon Crystal because unstable hybrids will be blocked by Gold/Silver/Crystal's [[error trap]], as if the player had tried to trade a Glitch Pokémon.

Note that Magikarp and Rhyhorn aren't the only Pokémon which can be used in the '''Q Trick''' and that the player can simply replace the Magikarp and Rhyhorn in this demonstration with any other two Pokémon.
