The Surfing'''Surf down glitch''' is a glitch in Pokémon Red/, Blue/Yellow Versionand Yellow that lets the player surfSurf 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 notthat normallymay availablebe impossible to surfget onto.
 
==Procedure==
=='Traditional' method==
#Stand in front of the tile you want to surf over. The tile must have a tile that can be surfed on diagonal to it, and that tile must be accessible to the player.
 
#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.
#Be one tile away from a tile where you would face a water tile after walking to it.
#Take a step so that the player is facing the tile that can be surfed on, pressing START mid-step.
#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.
#Save and reset the game.
#Use Surf or the [[ItemDex/RB:007|????? (07)]] item and you will surf down regardless of the tile below you.
#When the game is started back up, right away use Surf (without moving).
 
#The player should surf on the tile that can not normally be surfed upon.
===Alternative method===
==How it works==
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.
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.

===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'.
