It's taken 19 years, but a new Generation 4 Pokemon glitch has finally been properly documented after going almost completely undiscovered for the best part of two decades. I say 'almost,' because there's one player out there who's going to be feeling very validated right now.
As highlighted by YouTube creator Etchy (below), the glitch involves the move U-Turn, and some weird behavior surrounding it in Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver, and Battle Revolution. The Bug-type attack's whole gimmick is that after using it, it enables its user to switch out – if you have a fast Pokemon, for example, you can damage your opponent before swapping into a different 'mon that resists an incoming attack. Handy stuff. However, you can also sometimes apply an unintended effect when you switch.
