These Glitches Allow You to Cheat in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
By now, you probably know how glitchy Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are . At the moment, crashes and issues are more features than bugs. Most of the game’s quirks seem to range from harmless to game-breaking, but there are some newly discovered ones that you can use to your advantage… particularly to duplicate items and Pokémon in your game.
These duplication crashes are circulating on social media, as are other Scarlet and Violet crashes. The difference here is that these bugs actually make things better for players by giving them additional items and Pokémon with little to no effort. And while such claims should always be taken with a pinch of salt, Polygon was able to confirm that some of them actually work.
They test for a simple glitch first: if you have a picnic at a sparkling spot in the wild, you’ll find the item in your shopping cart. If you leave the picnic here, this item will continue to spawn from time to time due to the apparent glitch of the infinite item. It is not known what item will appear above the sparkly spot, but it’s worth your time as it could be something good.
However, my favorite example of this glitch is the ability to catch the same shiny Pokemon over and over again. As creator Austin John demonstrated , if you encounter a Shiny Pokémon in the wild, you can catch it, head to the nearest city, save just before going to that city, and then return to the original location where you caught the Pokémon to find the same Shiny one. in its place like you’ve never caught it.
And if you’ve beaten the Area Zero portion of the game, you can try an interesting (but confusing) way to duplicate the items your Pokémon are holding. To use this trick, make sure your party is full, give your Miraidon or Coraidon an item to store, then start a battle with a wild Pokémon and capture it. Since your group is full, you need to move one Pokémon to your box. Select Miraidon or Koraidon, then quickly press A or B to cheat the game. While you can’t normally carry these Pokémon into your box, you’ll find duplicates of them here, complete with whatever item they’re holding. The new item will be added back to your bag, and you can take the original item from the Pokémon when you add them back to your party.
One Polygon commenter shared a good use of this glitch: you can have your Miraidon or Corydon hold an ability patch and duplicate it to quickly boost the stats of your other Pokémon. But of course use the glitch to duplicate any item you find useful.
Whether you like playing Scarlet or Violet or not, there’s no denying that these games are buggy . Some users even ask for their money back , and they get it. However, if you choose to stick with these new Pokemon names, you can also take advantage of the chaos.
