Information on the Roaming IV Glitch from Gen 3 seems to have been orphaned somehow, probably during some reorganization of the wiki. Searching for the glitch redirects to the page "List of Glitches (Generation III)," but the section seems to have disappeared at some point.

For context, from what I was able to find on other sites, this glitch exists in Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, and LeafGreen, but not Emerald.

"This glitch causes roaming Pokémon to have extremely low IVs. In Generation III, the data for a Pokémon's IVs are stored in a 32-bit integer. However, when a roaming Pokémon is captured, only the last eight bits are transferred. While the HP IV is unaffected, the Pokémon can only have a maximum Attack IV of 7. The other IVs will always be 0."

Poking around a bit, the Roaming Roar glitch from FR/LG also seems to be undocumented on Bulbapedia.
