== Item duplication ==

 

The old man trick is arguably the easiest and most reliable way of encountering [[Missingno.]] and [[GlitchDex/RB:000|'M (00)]]. As their invalid [[Glitch Pokédex flag|Pokédex flag]] (#000 but effectively #256) means that encountering or capturing Missingno. and 'M adds a quantity of 128 to the sixth item in the player's bag if the quantity is less than 128, it is ideal for duplicating items, such as Rare Candies and Master Balls.

 

== Item conversion ==

 

The old man trick can be used to convert the fourth item into a few other items if the player has a name that lets them encounter a Trainer, and the identifier of the fourth item is not $1X, $3X, $5X, $7X, $9X, $BX, $DX, or $FX. This requires fighting a Rocket on Silph Co.'s 11F first.
