Line 6:
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 is exploited on. The player's ability to reduce a Pokémon's HP to negative values via a Pomeg berryBerry is no longer possible from Gen V games and onward.

Line 28:
Pokémon with ?35 HP may be traded to Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire Versions as well as Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen Versions, where different sub-glitches may take place.
 
However, the large amount of HP will be healed away if traded to Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness,. as well as ifIf migrated to Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum or HeartGold/SoulSilver Versions., the Pokémon's health is also restored to normal values as it is deposited into the PC.

====BattlingVarious withEgg an Eggtricks====
 
When the player's last active Pokémon is fainted through use of a Pomeg Berry, Eggs may be forced to battle when they are in the first slot. In this case, the Pokémon inside the Egg is sent into battle. An Egg will count as a 'fainted Pokémon' if the Pokémon inside of the Egg faints in battle and the player wins.
In Pokémon Emerald, the Pomeg glitch is often exploited to allow unhatched Eggs to battle and is perhaps one of the most well known examples of Pomeg Berry "sub-glitches". To perform this trick, the player should only have an Egg in his or her party and another Pokémon with a relatively low amount of HP (which the Pomeg Berry will be used on). The player must then use the Pomeg Berry such that its HP depletes below -1 (65535) and use any healing item such as a [[bp:Potion|Potion]]. Regardless of the value, as long as the recovery item would in theory increase the Pokémon's HP to at least zero, the Pokémon's HP will then stay at zero.
 
The player cannot simply use the Pomeg Berry to deplete theThis Pokémon's HP to zero from a valid amount of HP as this will activatehave aits [[bp:blackpalette out|blackchanged out]]; henceto the Pokémon's HP must be depleted to at least red-1 (65535) first. By switching the Egg as the first 'Pokémon' in the party, and entering a battle, the Pokémon inside the egg will battle (with an egg-coloredbeige sprite), and can gain experience points in thisEgg waypalette. The Pokémon inside of the Egg is capable of leveling up, hence it is possible to hatch an Egg into a Pokémon in a secondary or final evolutionary stage. AnIf a Nincada is evolved while in an Egg, an extra Egg will countappear asin athe 'faintedparty Pokémon'after that battle if thethere Pokémonis insidean ofopen theslot. This Egg faintswill inhatch battleinto and the playera winsShedinja.
 
Battling Eggs may be subjected to Poison, and may faint in the overworld due to it. In this case, the player will not white out as the Egg faints provided that there is another live Pokémon in the player's party. Then, the player will encounter delays every 4 steps as the game continuously treats the Egg as though it has fainted.
====Partially sending out an opponent's Pokémon====
 
Fainted Eggs may be revived to full health using a Sacred Ash, but this will not cure status conditions such as Poison.

====Partially sending out an opponent's Pokémon====
 
A phenomenon unique to Pokémon Emerald's game engine allows the player to send out an opponent's Pokémon. To perform this trick, the player should only have two Pokémon in his or her party; one which is fainted and another with a relatively low amount of HP to take advantage of the Pomeg glitch. If the player exploits the Pomeg glitch to deplete the Pokémon's HP to at least -1 (65535) and uses a recovery item to increase it back to zero (once reaching zero, the item will not recover any more health) the player will not [[bp:black out|black out]] and gains the ability of entering a battle for one turn before blacking out again.
Line 63 ⟶ 65:
 
After using a healing item to faint the Pokémon with ?35 HP, entering a battle will cause the player to send out a '??????????'/'Decamarks'.

#If the Pokémon receiving 'negative HP' knows or learns the move [[bp:Softboiled (move)|Softboiled]], it can be used to restore the hitpoints of many Pokémon, without the need of large amounts of recovery items.
