The '''switch PP underflow glitch''' is a glitch in {{RBY}}, where a partial trapping move is automatically selected when it has 0 PP.
This causes the user to either get 63 PP with three PP Ups applied if no PP Ups were used, or the user to lose the effect of a PP Up if at least one was used.
This glitch or the [[Hyper Beam automatic selection glitch]] can be used to get a 'FF' PP value for the [[Generation I max stat trick]].
==Requirements==
1. Access to a Trainer who can switch Pokémon. These include Jugglers (such as the one in Silph Co. 5F) and Agatha, as well as real world link battle Trainers.

2. A Pokémon that can take an attack which is '''slower''' than the opponent's Pokémon, and knows Bind, Clamp, Fire Spin or Wrap with 1 PP, e.g. a level 21 Victreebel against the Juggler on Silph Co. 5F's level 29 Kadabra.<br>[[File:Switch PP underflow 2.png]][[File:Switch PP underflow 3.png]]
==Steps==
1. Battle the Trainer who can switch. Before this, it's a good idea to save in case the following steps don't happen.<br>[[File:Switch PP underflow 4.png]]<br>
2. Use the partial trapping move and have it hit. As you are slower, you will need to take a hit from the opponent (but it doesn't have to be an attacking move).
3. On the same turn, or during a turn where the attack continues have the opponent switch. The partial trapping move will be used again and its PP will underflow from 0 if it was originally 1.<br>[[File:Switch PP underflow 8.png]][[File:Switch PP underflow 9.png]][[File:Switch PP underflow 10.png]][[File:Switch PP underflow 11.png]][[File:Switch PP underflow 12.png]]<br>
==PP underflow explanation==
Line 20 ⟶ 26:
There are only 64 (80h-40h) possible values for PP itself, meaning that the maximum amount of PP is 63.
