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'.

Most notably, the Pokémon's health will become 0 when a healing item (Potion, Oran berry, etc.) is used on it. This means that the player may have a team that is unable to battle, but will not white out as normal.

By entering a trainer battle and using a Revive on the second Pokémon however, for reasons unclear after the first Pokémon falls the game will act as if the trainer is going to switch Pokémon. If the player attempts to switch a Pokémon but then cancels, he or she will send out a Pokémon with the defined species data, as stored in the game's RAM of the next opponent's Pokémon. The Pokémon is not identical, for example the Pokémon's type is often different.
