Coin Case Glitch not working for me

I've been trying the coin case glitch over and over again but with no results.

Most of the times I used the glitch it either result with the text "which move?he PP of" or a glitch dimension.

I checked my items in the PC, they're the ones I need to have there. I have a Quagsire, in my fourth slot, with an HP Up and Sleep Talk as it's first move. And I have a freshly caught low level Pokemon as my third Pokemon.

It still doesn't work. The only thing I read is I just have to keep trying different low level Pokemon. Well, I have been and none of them have worked. Is there something specific I'm suppose to be looking for in a third Pokemon? I just don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

Try using a different low-level pokémon : part of its data is read as opcodes, so maybe that messes up the program flow. If it keeps not working, that would sound quite strange to me but probably still be fixable.

Yes, during these tricks the execution ends up at FA98 (Pokémon 3 Attack EV DA98).

If the data that follows before DABA (the Pokémon 4 Quagsire) contains a bad opcode such as 0x10 (dec:16) "stop" or 0x08 "ld ($aabb),sp", it can make the glitch not work as expected/freeze the game, so sometimes you will need to catch a different Pokémon.

Crystal_ said in his latest video regarding Pokémon 3:

- An untrained, low level Pokemon. Put it the third position of your party. The Pidgeys or Rattatas in Route 29 are some of the best ones. Make sure that the Pokemon's Special stat is not 8 and that it's HP stat is not 16. Make sure the Pokemon is female as well to further increase the chances of succeding. A Pokemon that meets these three requirements will work around two thirds of the times. If it didn't work (the game froze, the level of the first party Pokemon did not change), catch another Pokemon and try again.


Additionally, make sure that you:

1) Change pockets before using the Coin Case.

2) You followed one of these movement patterns before using the Coin Case.

3) You didn't accidentally use the wrong item for Quagsire. Some codes have Quagsire hold a Protein, which means the code starts at D61B (PC item 3) instead of 1A (PC item 2 quantity) for if Quagsire was holding a HP Up.

Something that I didn't realize is that as you walk a certain number of steps (256?), the happiness of Pokémon in the party increases by 1. This could be problematic if Pokémon 3's happiness ever became a value like 0x76 (halt) or 0xFF (rst $38), although captured wild Pidgey and Rattata have 0x46 happiness by default.
