Another ????? (FF/255) Exploitation (G/S/C)

For all I know this was discovered some time ago, but I just thought of this and tried it today.

First you have a ????? (FF/255) in the top position of your party and black out. When you come to at the pokecenter all of your pokemon will still be fainted. Unlike r/b/y (which forces you to black out again after three steps) this allows you to enter a trainer or wild pokemon battle and win instantly. However, the final dialogue from trainers never happens, so you never get paid. It works fine for defeating gym leaders as well. You will recieve the badge and the TM but you won't get any money. This should be a highly effective method in which to speed run the game without any game altering devices.

Yes,with a Monster Brain, I made some pokémon with 0/0 hp,so they are and stay KO, and I give them attacks such as surf or fly and I make (always with the accessory) that I have the 8 first badges and I allow the player to fly everywhere. So when I begin the game, my mom gives me the poke…(how do we say it in english? It is surely not the pokematos, right?) but anyway, after I go out and I can directly surf on the right and fly to the league. There I fight everybody and win without to send a single pokémon… That's cool even if we don't earn money…

I can confirm this, as I was able to do the same trick some time ago. I haven't been able to test this without codes yet though. Did you try this with a ????? (FF) obtained from the bad clone glitch?

I'm glad that it worked for you.

I've got a video about it here:

I achieved this without the use of any game-altering devices. Yes.
