This glitch is for a home console Pokémon game.

The X item glitch is a glitch in Pokémon Colosseum which allows the player to use an item such as an X Attack or X Special on a Pokémon while allowing the same Pokémon to attack on the same turn, at the cost of the turn of the other Pokémon sent out.

Procedure

1. Enter a double battle.
2. On the first Pokémon's turn, use an item that will have no effect, such as a healing item on a target with full HP.
3. Without exiting the menu, use the X item. Its effect will be applied to the second Pokémon.
4. The second Pokémon can now attack with the stat boost provided by the X item.

Notes

In some games like Pokémon: Let's Go, spending one Pokémon's turn using an X item on another Pokémon is an intended mechanic, as the game allows the player to choose the target. However, in other games (including Pokémon Colosseum), an X-item can normally only be used on a Pokémon on its own turn, so this glitch is needed to perform this maneuver in battle.
