I'm currently trying to obtain the 8F Item using invlid encounter flags (because i have no event that takes an item away and I dont feel like playing the main story all over again…).

Actually you don't need an event anymore. There is a "dry" variation of the item underflow glitch, for which all you need is a stack of 255 X Special. You can get it with MissingNo. using the glitch of your choice. Moreover, if the invalid encounter flag method works, it means the cooltrainer corruption works for you, so that you can encounter a MissingNo. This invalid encounter flag method is obsolete, you should not use it.

The item underflow glitch requires you to have this :

French screen, Special + is X Special and the two first item are useless.

Toss the two first useless items, you will have this :

Toss several 255x of the first item until you only have access to two items. Toss 253 of that first X Special stack and switch item 1 and 2 twice.  You should have X Special x0, like this :

Item underflow will be active. Now go there (near Celadon) :

Toss 255 X Special again, and switch the remaining X Special with the Nugget in 35th position. 5 steps right, 5 steps down, 20 steps right and open the item menu to see 8F, that you can switch to a "normal" place (eg : first place). Fly back to Celadon and buy items to fix the item menu.


If you still wanna use the invalid encounter flags, you don't need to USE the attack to trigger the corruption. Just enter/exit the FIGHT menu until it works.

Fact is, cooltrainer corruption doesn't always work, it depends on the values of some RAM addresses. You wil find here TheZZAZZGlitch's methods to maximize the chances. I can tell you that the "renaming party + open unused box" method works very well.

Good luck !

I recommend pressing B instead, since popping the USE/TOSS menu on such large-named items will cause memory corruption and potentially crash the game. At worst you'll close the item menu, and you will have to press B again when trying to re-open the menu. But eventually you'll get it to work.

@Skreef That worked; thanks.

What would my pack setup be to modify a Pokémon's DVs to a number of my choice (not necessarily max)?

Also, does anyone know why I wouldn't be allowed to re-nickname the in-game trade Jynx after using ACE to change my trainer name to TRAINER and my ID to match its ID?

I'm curious Misdreavus, why do you want to do that? Just seems the effort to keep changing the ID and player name to attempt to nickname traded Pokemon to make them your own(?) is a bit over the top. When you can just get Jynx for example, with trainer fly with much less effort.

As for any other thing you may want to do with 8F, you can just use the single-address value memory changing code multiple times, using the addresses that match the DV of the given Pokémon :)

Well, I haven't experimented with the Trainer Fly glitch before outside of getting Mew (it's the glitch that's the basis of the famous Mew glitch, right?), so it didn't really occur to me.  Good idea though… perhaps I'll look into it.

DAB1 - Attack/Defense IV
DAB2 - Speed/Special IV

Let's say I want to set my Chansey's DVs to 8/15/15/15.  (That's a legal R/B/Y spread for that Pokémon that doesn't compromise Defense, Speed, or Special.)  My code for the Attack and Defense DVs would be:

Item 1: any item
Item 2: 8F
Item 3: Lemonade x143 (8 Attack, F [15] Defense)
Item 4: X Accuracy x177 (decimal equivalent of B1)
Item 5: Carbos x218 (decimal equivalent of DA)
Item 6: Poké Ball x119
Item 7: Fresh Water x201

Is this correct?  Would I just set this up and use 8F once?

Provided that your game is an english R/B (otherwise, addresses would be $DAB6 and $DAB7 in european non-english R/B, $DAB0 and $DAB1 in english yellow, and $DAB5 and $DAB6 in european non-english yellow) then yes this would be exactly what you have to do. Change the values to 255/178/218 and use 8F a second time for the Speed/Special IVs :) (don't forget your Pokémon setup though)
