The Rage glitch, sometimes referred to as the Mimic Transform Rage glitch or simply the Transform glitch refers to a glitch in the handheld Generation IV Pokémon games. When performed, the player's Pokémon will have permanently copied the moveset of another Pokémon knowing the move Rage.

Requirements

1. A Pokémon with the move Transform, or Mimic to copy the move Transform.
2. A second Pokémon with the move Rage.

Method (in a Double Battle)

1. The player should enter a battle with a Pokémon already knowing the move Transform, such as Ditto or Mew as the first Pokémon in the party.
2. The player's transforming Pokémon, should transform into the second Pokémon, so that it copies the move Rage and any other moves of that Pokémon.
3. The transforming Pokémon should use Rage until all of its PP is gone but not faint the other Pokémon, in this case the player will have to use the move Rage five times, the player must also recieve the "Rage is building.." message.
4. After all of Rage's PP is gone, the player's Pokémon which used the move transform should defeat the enemy Pokémon with a different move, he or she should not defeat the enemy Pokémon with the last PP for Rage.
5. At the end of the battle, the player's Transforming Pokémon will have permanently copied the moves of the Pokémon with Rage.

Extended Method (for any Pokémon knowing Mimic)

1. The player should enter a Double Battle with a Pokémon knowing the move Mimic as the first Pokémon and a Pokémon knowing the move Transform as the second Pokémon.
2. The second Pokémon should Transform and the first Pokémon should Mimic the move Transform, if the first Pokémon is faster an additional move such as Substitute can be used to end that turn.
3. The original transforming Pokémon should switch out to a Pokémon knowing the move Rage and on the same turn, the first Pokémon should Transform into that Pokémon.
4. The first Pokémon should use Rage until all of its PP is wasted. It should also recieve the "Rage is building..." message.
5. The first Pokémon should then defeat the enemy Pokémon and end the battle.
6. At the end of the battle, the first Pokémon which originally had Mimic will have permanently copied the moves of the Pokémon with Rage.
