LM4 can be encountered by perfoming the extended Mew Trick using a Pokemon with a Special stat of 198.

Encountering LM4 causes the game to save, which means that Hall of Fame data will be scrambled simply by seeing a LM4, regardless of whether the player saves afterwards.

LM4's claim to fame is its highly unusual evolution chain. Upon reaching level 18, LM4 will immediately evolve into a Clefairy. Sometimes, this evolution cannot be interrupted by the B button. As soon as it becomes a Clefairy, LM4 evolves again into a Nidoking. Interestingly, this now-harmless Nidoking can easily be traded to G/S/C, allowing you to train a Nidoking with moves it could never ordinarily learn. Some players report LM4 attempting to evolve, but the evolution can be cancelled by pressing the B button as usual.

LM4 has another set of evolutions, but they are more difficult to access. If you teach LM4 the move it learns at level 56, and then replace it with TM04 (which it learns at level 59), LM4 will evolve into either Abra or Kangaskhan at level 59. It will then proceed to "evolve" into the same thing (Abra or Kangaskhan) four times in a row, then the game will freeze.

Additionally, LM4 seems to learn more moves and TMs than the average glitch Pokemon. Combined with its unusual evolution, LM4 would be an interesting glitch to seek out and train.
