If the attacker's Attack or Special stat is higher than 255 and the defender's Defense or Special stat, respectively, is lower than 4, or if the defender's current Defense or Special stat is 512 or 513 and the defender has used Reflect or Light Screen. Another division by 0 glitch is caused while battling another Pokémon.Using the Mew glitch incorrectly (Not making the second Trainer move).Talking to the Pokémon Day Care man after the Pokémon was stored there.Winning a battle with it gaining experience.Viewing the first page of its summary if it is not level 100.Glitch experience groups with an equation that involves a division by 0 can cause a soft lock for a glitch Pokémon that uses it after:.Similarly, 1.5 × 171 = 256 (0x0100), but because the game only retains the least significant byte, it treats the product as 0. No such number exists (floor 1×1.5 is still 1), preventing the game from continuing. The level 1 soft lock occurs as the game attempts to generate a random number between 0 and 1.5 × the user's level (rounded down). In Generation I, a level 1 or 171 Pokémon using Psywave will cause the game to softlock.However, the game can still be soft reset. During such a "softlock," all inputs fail to work and the player must reset the game. Examples of this include the music still being played, sprites still being animated, and NPCs continuing to move. Reason: newly created section, needs more examples and sourcesĬertain glitches do not cause the game to completely freeze, but rather make it so that no buttons have any effect despite the game continuing to function in other ways.

Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. The moves only cause a temporary repeat of the sound, and it will go away if the Pokémon taking the damage is defeated. The problems caused by the glitch occurring can be rectified by turning off the battle effects. The game may occasionally freeze while playing some copies of Ruby and Sapphire when a player's Pokémon uses Thunderbolt or Thunder, or when fleeing from a wild Pokémon however, cases of the glitch actually occurring are exceedingly rare.
Sometimes game freezes are accompanied by garbled sprites, various vertical lines and other scrambled graphics pixels and/or tiles.
In very rare cases, the music (and not the remaining sounds) can be the only thing to freeze, leaving the game still playable. Sometimes, a freeze will play no sound, even if there was a sound being played before the freeze. Frequently, a loop or constant replay of whatever sound was being played prior to the freeze will be played. Game freezes are often accompanied by an odd buzzing sound however, sometimes the normal music for wherever the player was before the game froze can be heard. Games on modern consoles may show an error message and then quit, instead of showing a frozen screen and looping or frozen sound effects. Game freezes are not limited to handheld systems, and it is possible for some home consoles to freeze up during gameplay. A Game Boy Advance Pokémon game may freeze if the GBA itself is shocked by static electricity. The game may also freeze if it is dropped, hit by any major force, has a dirty game cartridge/card, has been physically removed from the slot, or even if it is played on a faulty system (such as a Game Boy Color with low battery level). On rare occasions, incorrect cheats may possibly render the save file unplayable and corrupted. Incorrect cheat codes used on cheating devices such as Action Replay or GameShark can result in game freezes. For instance, there is a higher probability of the game freezing when the player tries tweaking. The most common cause of a game freeze is the game being given too many tasks at once. Older cartridges and systems are also more prone to freezing than newer ones. They also occur when performing glitches such as the Mew glitch incorrectly. Game freezes can occur due to invalid or unrelated information being input into the game, such as when walking out of the boundaries of an area.
