The '''Pomeg glitch''' or '''Pomeg Berryberry glitch''' is an oversight regarding the Pomeg Berryberry's ability of lowering HP [[bp:Effort value|EV]]s,. suchIt that if the player usesallows 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 hitpointsattain being'negative' ahealth. [[unsigned]], two byte integer.
 
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]].
