gaining negative stats.

[pikmin]

The other day, I was ev training my giratina, but then decided to go to hte bug catching show.

to my surprize, giratina 1hkoed a wild beedril, causing him to level up.

when he leveled up though, he gained negative stats, for instance +-3.
I quickly turned off the game in horror.

has this ever happened to anyone?

will try to re-create with pics, but maybe we can make a gen. 4 pomeg glitch somehow.....

I was boosting evs, not lowering them, no berries were used, do you think the bug-catching zone ignores evs?

I hope to pioneer another major glitch abuse, like my hero, MISSINGNO..
Bozo the bear is kool too, on youtube.

but, yeah.

100% true story
maybe the data was being drawn from an incorrect source, like the missingno. forme thing.

I've heard of this happening when you level up a Pokémon that has an alternate forme. Sometimes it'll say it has negative stat growth. Just deposit it in the PC and it'll be fine.

oh, crap.

well, can we abuse this glitch somehow?:idea:

No, I don't think so. It goes back to normal if you deposit it in your PC and there's no way to make it gain any more stat points through this.

EDIT: Here's the topic I read about this.
