If you perform the Ditto glitch with a Special of 200, the game sends out Trainer class #0 ('Trainer class 256'), because of a subroutine that subtracts 200 to get the Trainer class number. This Trainer (acquired with hex C8) is sometimes called 'Jacred' because this was one of the first variations of its name noted (on the old glitchcity and TRSRockin forums, and the most popular), although its name depends on the roster number of the Trainer, and seemingly other things, like progression in the game.

'Jacred' gives another possible 13 glitch rosters in addition to the 104 mainly ZZAZZ glitch rosters past Lance, which can be gotten by changing the attack stage of the last opponent (which changes the roster number - defaulting at #7 [0 attack stage] ) with Growl. Coincidentally, Trainer hex:C8's fifth and eighth rosters corrupt your item pack instantly when you go into battle, including the number of items and corrupts a lot of data. By scrolling past the 20th item, and swapping items around, you can memory hack without cheating (a little like dokokashira door glitch and other select button glitches) and do a lot of things, including possibly getting into the Hall of Fame.

Getting to the Hall of Fame with item pack corruption was possible in speedruns before with older ZZAZZ variations by depositing Pokémon into the PC, but this version saves a bit of time because you only need a Special of 200 (instead of ~250). It isn't faster than gia's save glitch (which works in R/B/Y at the beginning of the game), but might be a good idea for speedrunners who want to use the ZZAZZ glitch method.

This glitch roster is notably different to the usual ZZAZZ ones, by not playing the low HP sound, and by filling your item pack with many "POKéTRAINER". It also corrupts the overworld and causes a weird glitch city once the battle finishes. All you need to do is perform the Ditto glitch with a Special of 200, then lower the attack stage of the opponent with 2 Growls, then return to activate this ZZAZZ variation.
