The '''Pomeg glitch''' or '''Pomeg Berry glitch''' is an oversight regarding the Pomeg Berry's ability of lowering HP [[bp:Effort value|EV]]s, such that if the player uses a Pomeg Berry at a relatively low amount of HP, there is a possibility that the relevant Pokémon's hitpoints will drop below zero and roll down from (2^16)-1 or 65535 HP due to hitpoints being a [[unsigned]], two byte integer.
The '''Pomeg glitch''' or '''Pomeg berry glitch''' is an oversight regarding the Pomeg berry's ability of lowering HP [[bp:Effort value|EV]]s. It allows a Pokémon to attain 'negative' health.


If the player uses a Pomeg Berry at a low amount of HP, the glitch may be abused so that the Pokémon's HP will drop below zero and roll down from (2^16)-1 or 65535 HP due to hitpoints being a [[unsigned]], two byte integer. In Emerald Version, this enormous health quantity will be displayed as '?35'.

The consequences of the glitch vary between the game which it was exploited on, although the ability for the player to reduce a Pokémon's HP to essentially 'negative HP' via a Pomeg Berry has not been amended and if at all at least since the release of [[bp:Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]].

The consequences of the glitch vary between the game which it is exploited on. The player's ability to reduce a Pokémon's HP to negative values via a Pomeg berry is no longer possible from Gen V games and onward.
