(view, talk, edit)

The ZZAZZ Glitch is what occurs when the player encounters a glitch Trainer by using HEX 251, 252, 254, or 255 in the Ditto Trick. The player encounters a glitch trainer that turns all of the player's Pokémon into Level 153 Bulbasaur knowing Explosion, and all of the letters in the player's name, except at spaces that are multiples of 3, are replaced with Z's. The name "ZZAZZ Glitch" came from using the name OLD MAN (part of the edited name was ZZAZZ). The player can not fight this Trainer, because the game freezes if the player's Pokémon attack. However, there is a way to escape the battle with the player's Pokémon turned into Bulbasaur. Use any item, and the battle will end. The player will be left with a team of "exploding Bulbasaurs" and sometimes Super Glitch-like effects. If the player saves after performing this glitch, the game will probably be erased, unless the player's name is three characters long or less, not causing a name that is too long for the game to store when saving. Also, if the player battles another trainer after this, he fights the death trainer, who is usually undefeatable (even with codes from a game-altering device), but can sometimes be encountered with a beatable team. Even if he is defeated, the next trainer the player fights will be the death trainer.

Notes

• Bulbasaur, Explosion, the capital Z, and the Level of the Bulbasaur all share HEX 153.
• Neither the third Pokémon in the player's party, nor each third letter in his name, nor the third move of each of the player's Pokémon are changed by this glitch.
