A wild Mew being found using the Mew glitch

The Mew glitch (also known as Long-range Trainer glitch) is a glitch plant in all of the Generation I cadre series games. It was kickoff reported in 2003^[1]. It is an extension of the Trainer-Fly glitch to specifically catch Mew (hence its common name). Outside of Mew, this glitch famously allows players to easily take hold of whatever other Pokémon in the game and is the easiest way to catch many unique glitch Pokémon.

All of these methods piece of work on the 3DS Virtual Console; even so, any Mew obtained with the Mew glitch in all likelihood cannot be transported with Poké Transporter. This tin can, however, be bypassed through the use of arbitrary lawmaking execution, by irresolute Mew'south OT to lucifer that of the distributed Mew.^[2] Some other method to bypassing this cheque is to name the player "GF", and receive the trainer ID 22796 through luck, patience, and/or RNG manipulation.^[3]

Explanation

Trainer-Wing glitch

The Mew glitch works by exploiting a separate glitch chosen the Trainer-Fly glitch. The Trainer-Fly glitch is caused by encountering a Trainer that can battle the player at whatever point in the Trainer'southward line of sight and escaping from them. These Trainers are nicknamed "Long-Range Trainers" due to the long altitude that they tin can spot the player beingness defined as the maximum allowed past the game and volition spot the histrion the moment that they appear on screen in the Trainer'due south line of sight. When the game draws any NPC on the screen, that NPC is first placed in their default direction (s) for one frame, before being updated to face their right direction. For Long-Range Trainers, this causes their line of sight to indicate south for the first frame, before correcting to their intended direction. For that first frame, the player can still bring up the start menu and use whatsoever Field move or items from their bag. If the player uses Fly or a similar move or particular, and then the player will be spotted by the Long-Range Trainer earlier the player flies away from them. This causes the game to believe that the thespian is starting a battle when they are really not, causing various values to be read improperly and creating the core of the glitch. Specifically, the map script of the route the player left is set to a value where the game is constantly trying to display pre-battle text and start a battle.

The player must and so battle a Trainer (non just a wild Pokémon, as this does non properly reset the values ready upon flying abroad from the trainer to ones that do not cause problems) in between the escape and the final encounter, otherwise no run across will appear. This is because the game requires the value that contains the ID of the enemy trainer in the overworld or the unmodified special stat of the enemy Pokémon to non be 0 if it is to start a boxing, and at this point the game is in a state where the start card is disabled and the A and B buttons just work for using the PC, making it incommunicable to talk to anyone or use moves outside of battle. Additionally, this Trainer must walk upwardly to the role player (have at least 1 tile in between the player and trainer); they cannot be talked to straight or walked immediately in front of to initiate the battle, or the game will soft lock. This is because the game is in a state where it is waiting for the trainer that is currently being engaged to finish moving so it tin display their text and starting time the battle. If there is no space for the sprite to walk upward to, then the game gets stuck in a loop that prevents the battle from occurring and the role player from regaining control.

After, the player will regain total command and exist able to admission the bill of fare at will. Should the role player return to the aforementioned location or floor as the Long-Range Trainer, the game will go to display the pre-battle text and starting time the battle. This pre-battle text is text using the textbox ID of the nigh recently seen textbox, which if doing a textbook Mew glitch is the showtime card seen when the thespian goes to Wing to Lavander Boondocks to go dorsum to Route 8, resulting the Commencement card popping up on its own; this is expert, as the Start bill of fare is always safe to have popular up this way. Subsequently closing the card, the game will immediately outset a battle due to the game being in a country where information technology is constantly attempting to display enemy trainer text and start a battle, and ends up generating a battle with a wild Pokémon based on the Special stat of the Pokémon last battled and at a level based on the attack stage modifier of the Pokémon last battled. Annotation that if the Special stat of the Pokémon last battled happened to be in between 200 and 255, the player will instead encounter an enemy trainer, as trainer IDs are stored on the aforementioned tabular array equally Pokémon IDs. This trainer will have a roster based on the attack stage modifier of the Pokémon terminal battled. Avert fighting Pokémon with a Special stat of over 248 without a lookup table of trainer IDs to avoid fighting ZZAZZ glitch trainers, as they decadent the game.

For the Mew Glitch, the reason why Mew specifically appears at the end is based on the relationship between its index number, which is 21, and the Special stat of the Pokémon last battled. In both of the in a higher place cases, the Youngster's level 17 Slowpoke and the Swimmer'south level xvi Shellder, the final Pokémon in their respective parties, have a Special stat of 21.

Any method of 'escape' from the Long-Range Trainer may exist used, including Teleport and both Dig and the Escape Rope if the Trainer is in a cave expanse.

Methods

Method #i

The offset documented and most commonly known method to perform the Mew glitch involves the Gambler on Route 8, who is facing north towards the Cloak-and-dagger Path entrance, and the Youngster on Road 25 who is facing northward and has a Slowpoke on his team. The role player must have defeated neither Trainer before, and must as well accept a Pokémon who can use Fly on their team.

The histrion must stand direct beneath the Underground Path entrance door, at which point the same Gambler will be exactly i tile offscreen. It is recommended that the player save the game at this point in case a error occurs in a future pace. The player so tin can begin the glitch by taking ane step down, and then pressing and property the Start button while the stride is occurring. The Gambler will be scrolled onto the screen during this process and the histrion volition enter his line of sight, but the showtime menu should announced before the Gambler "sees" the player.

From the start bill of fare, the player must Fly away (with the about convenient location being Cerulean Urban center). If the previous steps have been performed correctly, the Gambler will have the indicative exclamation mark appear above his head, merely and so the Wing animation will begin before he can walk up and challenge the player.

After landing in Cerulean City, the Start, A, and B buttons volition non function properly, as the game believes that the player is nigh to be in a battle. From hither, the thespian should walk to Road 25 and battle the same Youngster. Chiefly, the Youngster must walk upwards to the histrion (must take at least 1 tile between the player and the Youngster when the player is spotted) to initiate the battle, or else the game will soft lock.

Later battling the Youngster, the previously disabled buttons will now work once more. The thespian must now render to Route eight (with the most user-friendly method being Flying to Lavender Town and heading west), opening the starting time card at least in one case along the way (Flying works). Upon entering the Route, the start carte will appear by itself; closing the menu will immediately begin a battle with a wild Level 7 Mew.

If the game is saved and reset during the glitch, or if any battle occurs between fighting the Youngster and encountering the Mew, the player must battle a Pokémon with a Special stat of 21 over again for the glitch to work. If the player does anything that causes a not-start-card textbox to appear onscreen (excluding anything in the beginning menu itself) or saves and resets the game, the player must open the start menu before entering route 8 to load its textbox ID (0) into memory. If the thespian returns to Route eight after Flying but earlier battling, then the glitch volition not work and the game must be reset to earlier Flying from the Gambler.

Method #two

This alternate method is sometimes known every bit the Quick Mew glitch, as it allows the histrion to obtain Mew at the primeval possible signal in the game.

Information technology is very similar to Method #1, except that the Jr. Trainer on Road 24 w of Asset Bridge should be used in place of the Route viii Gambler, and the offset Swimmer in Cerulean Gym used in place of the Route 25 Youngster. Equally Fly is not available at this bespeak in the game, the player must catch an Abra and use its Teleport in identify of Fly.

At the cease of the glitch, the player should return to Route 24 rather than Route 8, as that is the surface area where the glitch began.

Earlier Yellow Method

In Pokémon Xanthous, the player tin commencement catch Mew prior to the Quick Mew glitch, using the sectional Problems Catcher Long-Range Trainer in Viridian Woods and the Super Nerd in Mt. Moon B2F.

Preparation:

1. Offset, the player should skip fighting the 2d to last Bug Catcher in Viridan Forest.
2. Next, the player should clear their way through Pewter City, Route 3, Road 4, and Mt. Moon stopping prior to the Super Nerd with the two fossils on B2F. While doing this, the histrion should skip one trainer on the fashion that tin can have at least 1 step to initiate boxing.
3. Next, the player should return to the Pewter City PokéMart to buy Escape Ropes until they accept 2. An Escape Rope tin be constitute in Mt. Moon 1F in the e area of the floor. The role player should stock upwards on Poké Balls, equally Mew has a low grab charge per unit.
4. Next, the player should get the Pokémon Center to salvage their location for the Escape Rope and to build their team of Pokémon. If the thespian'south goal is to catch a Level one Mew, they should bring a Pokémon that knows Growl and leave i spot open up to prevent their game from locking up when attempting to remove Mew from the PC. The actor should also build their team keeping in mind the trainer they skipped and the Super Nerd's rosters. The Super Nerd has a Level 12 Grimer, Voltorb and Koffing. Finally, the player may want to bring a Clefairy with Sing or Butterfree with Sleep Powder and a lower level Pokémon to whittle down Mew's wellness to increase their chances of catching it. An example team could be Pikachu with its speed to escape wild Pokémon, Butterfree with Sleep Powder for Mew and Confusion to battle Grimer, Geodude to battle Voltorb, Nidoran♀ for Growl and its amnesty against Poison from Koffing'south Smog and a Level 6 Zubat to lower Mew's health.

Steps:

1. First, the actor should use the Trainer-Fly glitch and an Escape Rope to escape from the Problems Catcher Long-Range Trainer in Viridian Woods. At this point, the outset bill of fare is disabled. In addition, the actor should skip going into the Route 4 Pokémon Eye, then their location is not saved for the next Escape Rope.
2. Next, the player should boxing the trainer they skipped making sure to initiate combat, so the trainer has to walk at least 1 step to accomplish them. At this point, the offset menu is re-enabled.
3. Next, the player should get one step below the Super Nerd and open and shut the kickoff carte du jour out of an abundance of caution.
4. Adjacent, the player should boxing the Super Nerd, fainting their Grimer and Voltorb.
5. Next, the player should battle the Super Nerd's Koffing which has a Special stat of 21 for Mew. Optionally with their Pokémon that knows Growl, the histrion tin can lower its attack to go a Mew lower than level 7.
6. One time the Koffing has fainted and the battle has ended, the role player, without moving, should utilise their Escape Rope to return Pewter Urban center. If any Pokémon battle is triggered subsequently Koffing, the glitch will result in a Pokémon other than Mew.
7. Finally, the player should caput south to Virdian Forest fugitive the grass on Route 2. Once the role player enters Viridian Forest, the kickoff card opens automatically. Later the player closes the start carte du jour, a wild Mew will set on.

Repercussions: Once the histrion has battled the Mew, a missable object is removed from the map. For instance, the Cerulean Cave guard or the officer exterior the robbed house in Cerulean Urban center is removed when using the Quick Mew glitch. In this version of the glitch, the Helix Fossil near the Super Nerd is removed leaving only the Dome Fossil. When the thespian selects the Dome Fossil, the Super Nerd will mime choosing the Helix Fossil like it is withal there with no negative consequences. The player however will be completely unable to cull the Helix Fossil even if they try selecting where it should be. This betoken can also be walked past to skip fossil selection altogether and the game will proceed on as normal.

For more data on the removal of missable objects, see the Snorlax skip glitch or TheZZAZZGlitch's mail in this thread on Glitch City Athenaeum.

Other methods

It is not required to use the Jr. Trainer or Gambler to escape from, and instead the player tin can use any long-range trainer to trigger the glitch, using any type of warping field move such as Dig or Teleport. In guild for the player to obtain Mew they need to fight a Pokémon with a special stat of 21 (the easiest mode is to fight the Youngster on Route 25 or the Swimmer in Cerulean Gym, if the role player hasn't previously fought either), and then return to the route with the long-range trainer without fighting another Pokémon.

Extensions

The mechanics of the Mew glitch are rife with possibilities, making it ane of the almost useful glitches in the game.

Extended Mew glitch

As the Pokémon that appears from the glitch is based on the Special stat of the Pokémon terminal battled, the player can hands manipulate which species appears past battling a different Trainer, or even by encountering wild Pokémon later the escape and Trainer battle but before the encounter. For example, the Lass at the height of the kickoff floor of Mt. Moon has a level eleven Bellsprout with a Special stat of 22 last in her party, and and so battling her last in the glitch will issue in encountering a level 7 Gyarados, whose index number is 22.

Stat modifiers do not affect the Pokémon encountered; only its level can exist affected.

Ditto glitch

The easiest manner to dispense the last encountered Special stat when performing the glitch is to start obtain it on the actor's own Pokémon, and battle a wild Ditto. Ship out the Pokémon with the desired Special stat on itself, and await for the wild Ditto to use Transform. As the move Transform copies all of the target's stats, the Ditto will have on the Special stat of the Pokémon sent out. Subsequently defeating information technology or running away, continue as normal, beingness sure to non battle whatsoever other Pokémon before the end of the glitch. The player must be sure non to take hold of it, considering if the Ditto is captured, the result will be based off Ditto's Special instead.

The Special stat on the player's own Pokémon can exist caused either past natural leveling or by stat experience.

In Pokémon Yellow, every bit wild Ditto tin can simply be institute in the basement of Pokémon Mansion or Cerulean Cave, information technology is highly recommended to bring an Escape Rope or a Pokémon that knows Dig, in order to leave the Mansion immediately after contesting the Ditto. If the player attempts to walk out of the Mansion and encounters another wild Pokémon on the showtime floor, its Special stat volition overwrite that of the Ditto and crusade a dissimilar Pokémon than the one desired to be encountered.

As it is easily possible for one's Special stat to exceed 190, the highest index number of a valid Pokémon, the Ditto glitch allows like shooting fish in a barrel access to several glitch Pokémon for Special stats of 191 or higher. For example, in Reddish/Blue, a Special stat of 198 will lead to contesting a ゥL ゥM 4. If the Special stat is betwixt 200 and 255, the thespian will instead boxing a glitch Trainer instead of a wild Pokémon. Information technology is even possible to battle Professor Oak in this manner. The Special stats 248, 251, 252, 254 or 255 (and sometimes 200 if Growl is used one time or twice), plus 249, 250 and 253 in Pokémon Yellow, correspond to invalid Trainer classes and may pb to the memory-corrupting ZZAZZ glitch depending on the level/roster value (which defaults to 7; see level and roster manipulation). Every bit the ZZAZZ glitch tin can be hazardous to the save file (specifically, overwriting a big portion of retention with hex 99, resulting a heavily corrupted file that most likely cannot be saved), performing the Ditto glitch with these Special stats should be avoided.

Special stats of 256 or higher will wrap around to 0 and keep from in that location, every bit index numbers are express to one byte. For example, a Special stat of 300 will yield exactly the aforementioned effects as a Special stat of 44. This is the only way to use the Ditto glitch to encounter Pokémon whose alphabetize values are less than v (as Special stats cannot commonly get lower than that).

Level and roster manipulation

A Pokémon encountered at the cease of the Mew glitch well-nigh usually appears at level seven. The reason for this is because, just as the previous Pokémon's Special stat corresponds to the index number of the encountered Pokémon, the previous Pokémon's assail phase modifier corresponds to the level of the encountered Pokémon. This set on stage is often expressed as ranging from -6 to +6, but is actually stored internally as a number ranging from i to xiii, with 7 being the default. Therefore, if the thespian uses a motion like Growl once on the previous Pokémon, the encountered Pokémon will appear at level 6.^[4]

Using Growl six times to minimize the attack stage modifier will result in encountering a level 1 Pokémon, which cannot unremarkably be found and can lead to the experience underflow glitch. Conversely, Rage or Meditate can raise the level of the Pokémon that will be encountered. However, if the previous Pokémon was a wild Pokémon that is defenseless, then the stage modifier volition be reset to 0, leaving the encountered Pokémon to announced at level 7.

If the Ditto glitch is used and a glitch Trainer is encountered, the squad that the Trainer grade uses corresponds to the attack phase modifier. This normally results in the game attempting to load the 7th possible party of that Trainer, which may non exist (for example, Trainer classes such equally Brock, Misty, and Lance have but one valid party). If a Trainer with invalid party data is battled, the Trainer'due south team will likely contain glitch Pokémon. However, if the attack stage modifier is start lowered to 1, then the game volition attempt to load a valid 1st political party. Roster manipulation is near notable in the case of contesting Professor Oak, who has iii valid parties (respective to each of the starter Pokémon) then an assault stage modifier from 1 to three volition permit the player to battle i of his otherwise inaccessible valid teams. When the game does load an 'out of bounds' roster, the game will take a team from the subsequent Trainer class or classes by alphabetize number, if one exists; for case, Bruno (233)'southward roster #2 will be the same as Brock (234)'southward roster #ane, and Bruno (233)'due south roster #7 will be the same as Blaine (239)'s roster #ane (as all Trainer classes from 233 to 239 contain but 1 valid party).

Sub-Glitches

Snorlax skip glitch

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and consummate it. Reason: What is the object removed when performing the Mew glitch on either of the 'standard' two methods above?

Several areas in the game contain 'removable objects', or a listing of sprites that can be permanently deleted from the area. This listing includes all particular balls, various NPCs such equally the Squad Rocket Grunts that cake buildings in Saffron Urban center, and, chiefly, whatsoever one-fourth dimension stationary wild Pokémon, such equally the legendary birds. Whenever a thespian enters an area, if the area contains any removable objects, then the game will load the list from that area into memory.

Whenever the player encounters a wild Pokémon, the game checks to see if it was generated from a random encounter tabular array. If it was non, then the game assumes that the player must be battling a one-time stationary run across. When making this assumption, the game will automatically delete a stationary sprite from the list of removable objects for the area, to forestall the player from encountering the one-time Pokémon again.

The key is that a wild Pokémon encountered through the Mew glitch has non been generated from a random encounter tabular array, and thus the game will assume that the thespian is battling a stationary run into and endeavor to delete a sprite. However, if the player is currently not in an expanse that contains any removable objects, the game will simply use whatever list is currently in memory - namely, the list from the most recent area the histrion was in that independent removable objects. This behavior can be used to bypass various obstacles in the game, most notably allowing the player to remove the Snorlax on Route 12 and thus skipping not only the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town (equally the player no longer has to choice upwards the Poké Flute), but also the entirety of Route nine, Road ten, and Rock Tunnel, as well as postponing the Cerulean Gym and the Southward.S. Anne until the cease of the game (as the player no longer needs HM01 (Cutting) to go admission to Route 9).

To perform the higher up particular Snorlax skip glitch (bold the goal is to complete the game every bit fast as possible), the histrion must first enter Route 12 (from the Road 11 side), in order to load its removable objects listing into memory including Snorlax. The player must and so head through Vermilion Metropolis and perform the Trainer-Wing glitch from a long-range Trainer on either Route 6 or Route 11, escaping back to Vermilion Urban center. The player can complete the Trainer-Fly glitch by contesting any Trainer on Route vi or 11 (whichever the long-range Trainer is not on) and returning to the other route to trigger the Special encounter. Upon battling whatever wild Pokémon was generated on Route 6, the game will attempt to delete a sprite from the removable objects listing currently in memory. Every bit Road xi, Vermilion Metropolis, and Route vi are all free of removable objects, the listing currently in retentiveness will be that of Road 12, and the Snorlax will disappear later the battle ends.

When performing the Mew glitch in full general, care must exist taken to avoid accidentally deleting an undesired sprite. If the list of removable objects in retention at the time of the Special run across does not properly contain a stationary Pokémon run across sprite every bit expected, the game may end up deleting detail balls if the player has non picked them upwards already or other desirable objects, like NPCs that are needed to progress.

Mew glitch without a long-range Trainer

If there is alpine grass in the tile immediately in front of a Trainer'south line of sight, or a Trainer is in a cave, so the 'Trainer-Fly' event can be initiated even if that Trainer is non a long-range Trainer. This can only occur if the player is lucky plenty to generate a (natural) wild encounter on the exact tile immediately in forepart of the Trainer. If the thespian and so blacks out from this wild battle, they will be warped back to the Pokémon Center as normal, but the Trainer will see the thespian before they warp dorsum (the "!" is visible very briefly during the blackout blitheness).

A number of glitch items enable the player to move around on the map without being seen by Trainers; if the glitch item's effect is disabled while in front of a Trainer, then a Trainer-Fly effect can begin.

Text box errors and variations

This can be also one of the side-effects of the Mew glitch. If the actor causes a text box to pop up earlier returning to the area where the long-range Trainer was escaped from, such as by talking to an NPC or reading a sign, then something other than the commencement card will popular up at the end of the glitch, due to having a textbox ID other than 0 saved into retentivity. This is typically dialogue from Trainers on the road, which may be followed by a wild Pokémon battle, after which the player will no longer be able to move.^{[citation needed]} Alternately, the text may be from interacting with a sign or an item; in the latter instance, the item volition appear in the player's inventory and disappear from the route as if they had picked information technology up ordinarily. This may also allow the role player to obtain items which are non currently on the route. Finally, instead of a visible text box, the thespian may trigger other glitches, such as glitch songs or 0 ERROR. Glitch songs are acquired past invalid glitch textboxes that contain text script sound commands, and 0 Error is caused by any text box whose text script initiates a trainer battle, as it overrides the battle spawned by the Mew glitch and increments the map script to an invalid land.

No Trainers remaining

One long-range Trainer remaining

As the method written to a higher place requires the player to battle another Trainer (in a different expanse) after escaping from the long-range Trainer, this can cause issues if all possible Trainers accept been defeated. The Elite Iv tin can exist rebattled indefinitely, but equally the A button to talk to characters remains nonfunctional until a Trainer has been defeated, information technology is not possible to challenge them straight. Nor tin the role player straight save the game equally the showtime menu cannot exist opened.

To remedy this, afterward escaping the long-range Trainer, the role player must visit a PC and salvage the game indirectly by switching boxes. (The A and B buttons remain functional for the PC.) After saving, the player must reset the game. This makes the Start, A, and B buttons functional over again-the game no longer thinks the player is near to battle a trainer, although it is still waiting for an NPC to finish moving.

At this point, at that place are a number of methods that can be used to consummate the glitch:

• As implied to a higher place, the player can now defeat the entire Elite Four and Champion. Professor Oak walks at the terminate of this.

• As the to a higher place method is tiresome, a much simpler alternate method is to simply go to Pewter City and talk to the NPC who brings the histrion to the Museum (the player must choose No to his question, so he volition actually walk the thespian there). When he is done moving, the game is done waiting. All the same, the role player must run across a Pokémon after this to become an bodily Special stat loaded into memory. The Start menu must also exist flashed after this, to prevent a possible text box error (see in a higher place).

• As the Museum person is vulnerable to the Snorlax skip glitch side effect (meet above), the above method may fail to work later on existence used once. An fifty-fifty simpler alternating method is to but push whatever Strength boulder, which volition count every bit an NPC moving, considering patently Forcefulness boulders are really NPCs. (No other HMs comport this manner as none of them move sprites or objects.)

Annotation that as long as the player has at least one undefeated Trainer in a different area than the long-range Trainer, they can avert having to practise any of the above indefinitely, every bit all that is needed is for an NPC to finish a movement script that disables player input for the elapsing of the script and for a Special stat to be loaded into retentivity. Information technology is non necessary to defeat another Trainer after escaping, only battle 1, and then a player tin can deliberately lose to a Trainer and continue on with the glitch, and that Trainer will remain battleable. Notwithstanding, if the player loses to that Trainer and and so goes dorsum to the area of the long-range Trainer and battles a Pokémon with this glitch, the long-range Trainer will no longer be battleable.

No Trainers to escape from at all

Using the "dry" variation of the item underflow glitch, which does not require an result that takes an item from the player'due south item pack (it is not required to have a Fossil or have the Saffron guards exist thirsty), it is possible for the actor to obtain a stored PC detail counter of 255.

This glitch (requiring a ×255 item slot) can be fix without any long-range Trainers thank you to MissingNo./'M (00) and the old homo glitch in Cherry-red and Bluish, or Yellowish MissingNo. and the - (move) corruption effect in Pokémon Yellow. When the quantity of an item has been increased by 128, it can exist tossed or used up until 127 items remain and the duplication of the sixth item can be repeated to obtain 255 items.

The only known way to obtain the "-" move every bit the first move in Pokémon Yellow without a long-range Trainer needed is through trading. For case, the player tin can trade over a Ditto that had its outset and 2nd moves swapped while under Transform from Pokémon Red and Bluish.

The item and quantities across slot 50 represent unrelated variables in the games, such equally the events in certain maps. For maps with Trainers, a value of 01 essentially means that the player has set a 'Special stat run across' on that route.

For example; 1 item, item 100 represents the information for two such maps. The item in item 100 controls whether the histrion has a Special stat encounter on Route 8. The quantity in item 100 controls whether the role player has a Special stat encounter on Route 24. If the actor has not set up the Mew glitch on whatsoever of these routes, then these values will non be 01 (presumably 00).

Nevertheless, the values can hands be manipulated. For example, if the quantity of PC item 100 is 0 (substantially 256), the thespian can toss 255 to change the quantity to ×1 and set upwards a Special stat encounter in Route 24.

It is still required for the thespian to run across a wild Pokémon to get the Special stat encounter they want. As usual, a wild Ditto can be used to Transform into a Pokémon with the relevant Special stat and shop it in retentiveness.
