4th Gen Glitch Thread

This is probably because the game recognizes the Wonderguard spiritomb as a Shedinja since Shedinja is the only one who can learn this ability....

Fire Fang is the only fire type move to hit a WonderTomb, so that's not it. They just forgot to code Fire Fang to be affected with WonderGuard, and they thought it didn't matter since Shedinja gets hit by Fire moves anyways.

I had a mew that I wanted to trade over gts that I got from someone and it wasnt allowed, gave an error message like this pokemon cant be traded something like that.Is it cloned or hacked how can you tell?? Either way should I get rid of it or just blame gts for the error?

List the info of the Mew (level, OT, ID, ball, ribbon). Any Mew below level 10 is hacked.

That's just the GTS' way of preventing hacks being traded. If your Pokemon has all 31 IVs, and/or an illegal amount of EVs, you'll get the "Pokemon can't be traded" message.

I've seen the Zapdos (or was it Articuno?) with the Raikou sprite but it never lets me trade it :( lol

I thought people nicknamed their pokemon to others but it won't work.

I have quite a peculiar glitch.
I successfully did the tweaking glitch for the second time on my diamond, and walked exactly 107 steps straight up, 63 left after that, 10 steps up again, and 122 steps right. Well after doing that apparently I ran into a wild pokemon. A wild level 72 Staravia. I got freaked out, and ran away. When the battle was over I was in a 4th generation glitch city, and was so freaked out that i turned off my game immediately.

Where did you start from? I want to try this glitch lol sounds fun! :P

in the fight area, I went in front of the sign saying "fight area". when I went one step left, there was two eyes (pixels) staring at me at the far left of the screen. (pearl NDSL)

also, I don't know if this was a glitch, but I went into a room in the haunted mansion in eterna forest, and there was this weird guy who looked strange when he walked away: his sprite didn't move. I went out and back in, but he wasn't there, I went back again and he was there. I dunno about it, but it was pretty spooky O_O

finally, in the underground, go behind a hiker and walk up a few steps. his eyes will turn HUGE. I guess this is a graphic error, but it was pretty funny.

Rock-o, that guy in the Mansion is normal. It's meant to be there, it's a GHOST!!!!

Also, there's a few places on Route 230 that when you surf on them, a black dot pops up and then dissapear very quickly.

I'd never play Pokemon again if I saw any of those glitchs...In fact,I was just going to play Pokemon..I don't think I will for atleast a hour.

I think one time,the bike music didn't play when I was on the bike.
I can't remember when that was,I have a horrible memory ^^;

Edit:
I found this weird glitch.
One of my Buneary's changed from an all food lover to a dry food lover after eating a few dry poffins.

I don't think has been mentioned yet, there's a killer weather in platinum, it's not clear how it is started yet, sometimes it happens as a fleeing pokemon is pursuit'ed while sandstorm is in play or any other weather in play and causes the game to start killer rain/sun/ss the next turn. I'll link you to a few youtube vids....

That's the weridest I've seen ... And also a bit hilarious !!

 

[Ouch stop shocking me Chinchou.]

Idk why, but I was going through the forest with Cheryl, when I came across a shiny Murkrow and a Shiny Gyarados... it was at night, but Idk if my eyes were just playing tricks on me, idk

It's been a while since I checked, but I think I found a glitch with Pokemon cries in the parties. To do this, first go into your Pokedex and listen to the cry of a Pokemon. Then, when you go check your party Pokemon, you should notice that the Pokemon cries overlap each other when you scroll through the other Pokemon. Normally, the cry of one Pokemon stops before the cry of the next Pokemon starts in the party. It's been a really long while since I last did this, so I'm not 100% sure that this is a glitch.
From the American version. Initial relase.

^^^I just tried it and it works.. haha weird stuff. Had to restart to get the normal style though .

 

[T-tar]

There's a glitch in Platinum where if you kill a pokemon switching out with Pursuit in a Sandstorm, it starts to rain and have a sandstorm at the same time and the rain does damage.

If you do the same thing, but in hail, all four weathers start at the same time and then instead of saying "Scizor was buffeted by Hail" or something it says "Scizor was hurt by it's Technician/Swarm". It's really weird..... :/

 

[Dmatt]

HAHA and really funny too.. there's a video of that a few posts above , I looove when it says : Blissey is hurt by its Natural Cure !!! :D
