The Second type glitch is a closed menu Select glitch in Pokémon Red, Green, and Pokémon Blue (Japanese).
It allows the player to transform a Pokémon into another Pokémon with the ID of its second type. As single-typed Pokémon have their second type the same type as the first type internally, they can also be used for the glitch.
Steps
Item 13 method (does not always work):
1) Press Select on item 13.
2) Exit with B, B.
3) Open the Pokémon menu via a battle, Day Care on Route 5 or the Name Rater in Lavender Town and press A on the first Pokémon to swap it to be a Pokémon based on its second type.
This glitch may also trigger Pokémon No. 152 in the Pokédex.
