The '''Surf down glitch''' is a glitch in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow that lets the player Surf down instead of the correct direction, even if there is no water on the tile one tile down. This lets the player get to places that may be impossible to get to.
 
=='Traditional' method==
The Surfing glitch is a glitch in Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow Version that lets the player surf on places not normally available to surf on.
 
==Procedure==
#StandBe in front of theone tile youaway want to surf over. The tile must havefrom a tile thatwhere canyou bewould surfedface ona diagonal to it, and thatwater tile mustafter be accessiblewalking to the playerit.
#While walking to it, hold down the start button, then after the start menu pops up, save and reset. If done correctly, you won't be facing down after the save file is reloaded.
#Move to either the left or right of the tile one step. The player should be moving one step away from the tile that can be surfed on.
#Use Surf or the [[ItemDex/RGBY:007|????? (07)]] item and you will surf down regardless of the tile below you.
#Take a step so that the player is facing the tile that can be surfed on, pressing START mid-step.
 
#Save and reset the game.
===Alternative method===
#When the game is started back up, right away use Surf (without moving).
The player can be on a tile where they're facing a water tile, then press start in the middle of 'bumping into' the water. From there, like in the traditional method, after saving and resetting the player will not be facing down and using Surf or the ????? (07) item will cause the player to surf down.
#The player should surf on the tile that can not normally be surfed upon.
 
==How it works==
==CommonExample uses==
When the game is started up, the player's direction is defaulted to south. However, if START is pressed mid-step, the START menu pops up without giving the game time to change the player's direction if the game is saved. When the game is reset, the player should look like he is facing the tile that can be surfed on, and because that is the direction he is facing, he can use Surf. However, in one way, the player is still facing south due to the game being just started up, as that is the direction he surfs in.
==Common uses==
* Going back to Agatha from Lance.
* Reboarding the S.S. Anne.
* Entering 'Bill's Secret Garden' (tiles right of Bill's house behind the fence, alternative method only).
 
===Going back to Agatha from Lance===
This trick does not work in Pokémon Yellow. It makes use of the fact that the bottom section of statues [[Statue behavior glitch|work like water tiles]] in Pokémon Red and Blue.

Then surf down on the bottom of the statue the player is surfing on and land under it.
 
To enter Lance's room again (it is blocked by doors), simply re-enter Agatha's room and exit it.
 
===Reboarding the S.S. Anne===
This is a trick to reboard the S.S. Anne. It is not the only method to reboard the S.S. Anne after it has left, glitches that allow warping can be used.

===Entering Bill's Secret Garden===
This trick is named after Bill's Secret Garden; a place where [[Pokégods]] were thought to be.
 
Perform the alternative method of the Surf down glitch one tile below a water tile from south of the bridge in Bill's house. Go into the water below, then surf right, up and left to enter 'Bill's Secret Garden'.
 
Note that the player won't be able to return to the route without using Fly or Teleport. The player can Surf down or right to go out of the map boundary, but since Route 25 has no map connection in either of those directions, the game will just freeze due to the [[freeze tile]]s.
