What is your favourite glitch in Pokemon?

Glitches are typical in video games. Some are rather famous and others that are quite fun to play around with. The Pokemon series has such well-known glitches such as Missingno. and the Cloning glitch. I haven't seen any thread like this one, so I thought to myself “Why not?”. The title says it all: What is your favourite glitch in the Pokemon games?

I haven't checked out all of the glitches yet, but one of my favourites is the Mimic Glitch. I once considered doing that glitch, because having Pokemon with illegal moves (e.g., Flareon with Flare Blitz) sounds quite fun. It occurs on D/P/Pt, in case you're curious.

Another one that I find rather amusing is you can use Surf on a tree in Black 2/White 2. The tree is located at Pokestar Studios.

You can also tell me any glitch stories too. I've got one in mind. I was doing a HeartGold Nuzlocke, getting ready to grind. But just as I was about to, I somehow managed to tweak the game, and it ended up freezing.
 
Acid Rain (Gen IV) is a fun one. There's a particular glitch Pokemon whose name escapes me with powerful, well-balanced stats. It could be made into a legitimate Pokemon.

Castform you mean? C:

I haven't actually tried any glitches yet (I'm a big wuss, really.) but I think that the Mimic glitch and tree glitch are really cool sounding. ^-^
 
Glitches crack me up! I love a lot of them:

Missingno
Female Symbol
Glitch City
Guy standing on Cinnabar Gym roof
Surfing in statue/ tree
Invisible PC
Glitch Hurricane
 
The infinite Master Ball glitch in Colosseum, by far. Perfect for lazy arses such as myself.
 
The Surfing Glitch in DP, because I can get my favorite Pokemon that way.
The Fly Trainer Glitch in RGBY, because it's very useful if you're to get all 151 Pokemon. Considering that Mew was never planned for the game and added right before release, this is the only way to get that Pokemon (excluding use of Game Shark).
The Cloning Glitch in GSC. I used that one a lot, for two purposes: to get infinite use of TMs and to share Pokemon with other players like you were sharing files :)
 
Mew glitch or hybrid glitch. Mew is pretty awesome (Considering Mewtwo isn't availible until post game and Dratini as a pain to get and train). And it's hilarious to fuse something like Starmie with a Magikarp to troll people. "What do you mean, Magikarp can't have Thunderbolt, BubbleBeam, Ice Beam, or Psychic? Of course it's a legitimate moveset!" (Also, Starmie and Magikarp need the same amount of Exp to get to level 100, so probably no annoying surprises when it levels up)
 
The cloning glitch in Emerald. It makes getting trades/rescuing shinies from the GTS a lot easier. Nearly every Mew you'll see there is offered for a hack. Offer one for a legit offer, you'll get a trade easily.
 
The Mew one, I actually used it to get Mew in my Yellow playthrough, and made it a member of my team.
The Cnoning glitch is great, too, and Tweaking sounds great, but sadly I have yet to exploit it successfully.
 
The Mew glitch, hands down! I don't normally do glitches, but I make an exception for this one because it's the only way to catch Mew in Gen 1 these days. I pretend it's not a glitch, that it's how you're supposed to catch Mew.

I had a play around with the cloning and Coin Case glitches in Gen 2 as well, but these kind of spoil the fun for me because they're too game-breaking. Plus the Coin Case glitch is really complicated to set up.

The Emerald cloning glitch. I still use it even to this day to clone Pokemon that I transfer to the newer games for Dexing purposes lol.

I was gonna say the Mew glitch from generation 1, but it's an elusive glitch that's complicated to perform and basically impossible if you've already beaten certain trainers. Plus it's only a once per save file kinda thing.
 
The Cinnabar Island glitch that makes really strong and rare Pokemon appear on the coast and also the Mew glitch.
 
PC cloning glitch back in the Gen 2 games. I spent literal hours using it to replicate items and sell them to buy Game Corner stuff.

I am also particularly fascinated by Glitch City. It isn't really a useful glitch and you can barely explore it sometimes, but just the idea of wandering this insane, messed up locale that shouldn't exist really interests me.
 
I used to be obsessed with glitches in Pokémon when I was younger. I just found them really oddly fascinating, particularly the glitch Pokémon from Gen 1-3. Missingno., Decamarks, ?, and Bad Egg are my favorites.

As far as other ones that I enjoy, the ZZAZZ glitch comes to mind, as well as anything that causes a "glitch song", like the cries of glitch Pokémon ♀ . or h POKé. The effects of acid rain and the Pomeg glitch are also pretty strange.

I guess I'm just a little less interested in the "useful" glitches like cloning, and more so in seeing the bizarre ways these games will act under circumstances they weren't intended to be in.
