What's the deal with...
Okay, so I'm new 'round these parts, so don't totally kill me if I'm breaking some rule or something...I'll be sure to abide by all the rules once I learn them.:)
Anyways, what's the deal with people asking for such outrageous things on the GTS? I searched for a Meowth the other day, and there were people wanting level 100 Moltres in return! What's up with that? |
People just do that because they're hoping someone is stupid enough to do it...or they're trying to clone.
|
people trying to either clone or they just want that really bad
its most likely the cloning |
But you can't clone Moltres...
Can you? |
Well usually they're cloning the pokemon they have...which since it's a meowth I'd guess it just has a rare item they want more of. And you can clone anything.
|
How do you clone anyway?
Are cloned pokemon different? Are they easy to distinguish from real ones? |
hehe, the cloning is just a glitch, you mislead the game and just have the exact same pokemon twice. anyway, dont know the details.
to be more on topic: i have a magicarp up GTS right now for a moltres, just hope some crazy guy from japan will send me one. sometimes they do crazy trades like that. |
I remember the cloning trick on Gold and Silver....is there something similar on D/P?
I have a Torchic up on GTS right now for a Chimchar...that didn't seem to unreasonable, but no one's taken me up on it and it's been two days... |

Apparently you can loose your file attempting this glitch. I have recieved a few emails claiming that their file has been corrupted. I took action immediatly by adding in this section to the FAQ. I would like to thank Callum for informing me with everything I needed to know upon this matter. I deeply appologies to anyone who has lost their file. ============================================================ ( II ) Introduction: ============================================================ I have recently discovered the Duplication Glitch for Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Many people were constantly messaging me wanting to know how to do the glitch. So I was kind enough to share my guide and spend the majority of my time creating this FAQ. This guide will teach you how to preform this glitch in a simple step-by-step format. I have worked very hard on this guide, so I hope you all enjoy it. ============================================================ ( III ) Notes: ============================================================ * You can clone both Items and Pokemon. - In order to clone items, you will have to give the desired item to the Pokemon you are willing to duplicate. * In order to preform this glitch, you will need Wi-Fi Connection. * Make sure you always deposit your pokemon in for trade and request a Pokemon that no one would have. That way your Pokemon will not get traded during the process. To learn more about this. Please read the article about "Preventing Your Pokemon from being Traded". ============================================================ ( IV ) Instructions: ============================================================ --------------- Step 1 --------------- First, you must goto Jubilife City. In the city, report directly to the Poke'Center(Red Roof). Go west from Poke'Center. You should be walking through what looks somewhat like a alley. Continue walking left until you see a building. Enter the building. As soon as you enter, you should see a spinning globe on the left side of the building. Talk to the girl at the desk. She will ask if you would like to connect to the Global Trading Station. As you might have guessed. Select, "yes". --------------- Step 2 --------------- After logging into the Global Trading Station. You should be logged into it's main menu. You will see 3 options: Deposit Pokemon, Seek Pokemon, and Exit. Select Deposit Pokemon. And since this is your first time preforming this glitch, use a Pokemon that has no value of any kind. Example: Bidoof, Starly, Shinx, Ect. After you have selected your desired Pokemon, it will then ask you what you want for it. You need to always select a Pokemon Lv. 100 or higher. And always choose a Pokemon that no one would bother keeping. Pokemon from the Kanto region are alot more safer to ask for. Example: Pidgey, Ratata, Caterpie, Weedle, Ect. To learn more about what Pokemon to choose in order to obtain maximum security, Please refer to the article about: "Preventing Your Pokemon from being Traded". --------------- Step 3 --------------- Now don't think its over yet. You only completed the "EASY" part of the glitch. Once you have deposited your Pokemon up for trade, you will find a Loading Screen. It would say: "Checking GTS's Status.....". And if you look on the Right Side of that box. You will find a clock. As you might have guessed, the clock is what resembles that your game is loading. Well, this little clock here is the key to duplicating your Pokemon succesfuly. Alright now the objective here is to shut your DS off 1 clock tick before the loading completes. Yes it may sound easy, but its not! The loading time completes at random times. So it doesn't always finish loading at the same time it did last time. But if you don't want to find yourself in frustration trying to complete the glitch. Then I would suggest what I call: "The 8th Spin Method". Ok lets get started. We are going to try "The 8th Spin Method" together. As soon as you enter the Loading Screen, you will see the Clock Hand rotating around clockwise. Always count 1 Rotation whenever the Clock Hand reaches the top of the clock. NOT from where it first started. You want your Clock to go around 8 Times. On the 8th spin, SHUT YOUR DS OFF. If your Clock doesn't go around 8 Rotations the first time. Please Continue Reading. If it does, and you have succesfuly turned your DS Off as soon as the Clock Hand reached it's 8th Rotation, then jump over to Step 4. You will be redirected to the main menu. The Menu should now read: Summary, Seek Pokemon, and Exit. Select the Summary. You will see that your Pokemon is now Deposited in the Global Trading Center. Just hit the "A" Button and it will ask you if you want to Take Back your Pokemon, or if you would like to leave it as is. Select Take Back. Your Pokemon should now be traded back to your Game. Once you receive your Pokemon back. You have to attempt "The 8th Rotation Method" again. Just keep trying to get it to Rotate around 8 Times. You will get it eventually. I have made a .Gif Animation for the Loading Clock. It is located here: http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5964/clockgifpw7.gif If you just cannot get the clock to go around 8 Times, then please refer to the article called: "If your DS doesn't make it to the 8th spin". --------------- Step 4 --------------- Once you have succesfuly completed "The 8th Spin Method" turn your DS back on. Select your Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Game. Once you press start you will receive a error message: "Your file has been corrupted. Previous file will be loaded". Don't worry, this is normal. Your file is safe because of the Double Saving Feature. Enter the game like you normally would. If you have completed the glitch correctly, you will see yourself walking out of the GTS Door. Talk to the girl at the counter again. Connect to the Global Trading Station as you have in Step 1. You are logging back in to check if you have completed the glitch succesfuly. --------------- Step 5 --------------- When you reach the Global Station's Main Menu, you will have to go through 2 simple steps in determining whether the glitch was a success. If done correctly, you should have 1 Pokemon in your Box/Party, and the other Pokemon waiting in the Global Trading Station waiting for your to retrieve it. --(-Test-1-) The first option in your menu should read: "Summary". If it does, retrieve your Pokemon back into your game(You might wanna do this quickly, so that others would'nt trade for it) by simply selecting "Summary". Then hit the "A" Button and select "Take Back". If it reads "Deposit" instead of "Summary". Then the glitch was a failure. --(-Test-2-) Once retrieving your Pokemon back from the Global Trading Station. Log out to complete your final test in determining whether you have completed the glitch succesfuly. After logging out of the Global Trading Station. Look through your Party/Box to see if the Pokemon you duplicated from is still there. If it is, you have succesfully completed the duplication glitch!! --------------- Step 6 --------------- This is the simplest yet most important step. Save!! ============================================================ ( V ) If your DS doesn't make it to the 8th spin: ============================================================ Before Reading: Try moving farther away from your Wi-Fi Connection. This should slow the connection down, and would slow down your Loading Time. This statedgy should help the Clock Hand go around to Complete the 8th Rotation. If this doesn't help, then please read the instructions below. --------------- Step 1 --------------- Deposit a Pokemon that has no value. Example: Bidoof, Starly, Shinx, Ect. --------------- Step 2 --------------- Once you deposit, you would find a message saying "Checking GTS's Status....", Along with the loading clock. --------------- Step 3 --------------- Count exactly how many spins it takes until the loading has completed. Repeat this step and log how many diffrent results you've got. Do it about 3-5 times. --------------- Step 4 --------------- After completing your log. It should look something simliar to this: 1. 7.30 2. 7.15 3. 7.30 4. 7.45 5. 7.15 6. 7.30 In this case, 7.30(7 And A Half Rotations) occured the most amount of times. So next time you attempt the glitch, you would shut it off at 7.25. If you do not understand the concepts of the decimals. Then try to imagine a real clock to get the idea. ----------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================ ( VI ) Preventing Your Pokemon from being Traded: ============================================================ Follow these 5 easy steps. And your Pokemon will be less likely to be traded. --------------- Step 1 --------------- ( Do not trade for legendaries ) Never, I repeat, NEVER ask for a Legendary Pokemon. Why you ask? If you had a Hacking Device, lets say in this case, Action Replay. What Pokemon would you attempt to go after first? Legendaries!! So if you ask for a Legendary Pokemon, the chances of your Pokemon being traded during the process is very high! --------------- Step 2 --------------- ( Ask for the same Pokemon ) If you ask for the same Pokemon you have nothing to loose right? --------------- Step 3 --------------- ( Choose a Kanto Region Pokemon ) Selecting a Common Pokemon from the Kanto Region will help alot. Since not everyone has completed they're National Poke'dex yet. This helps because you can only seek for Pokemon that you've SEEN. --------------- Step 4 --------------- ( Lv. 100 Only ) Do not ask for a Pokemon level 9 and under. ALWAYS ask for level 100. You may think that your Pokemon cannot be traded for a Level 9 and under Sandlash, because its just impossible. Sorry to say, but your wrong. Nothing is impossible for when it comes to Hacks. Tests show that more people loose their Pokemon from asking for a Level 9 and under, rather then a level 100. And even if your Pokemon does get traded during the Process. Think about it, what would you rather have? A level 9 and Under Pokemon, or a level 100? --------------- Step 5 --------------- ( Specify your Gender ) To reduce the chances of your Pokemon being traded even more, is by specifying your Gender. This will reduce your Pokemon from being traded by 50%. |
eh...to my knowledge they're indistinguishable, however cloning itself is a REAL pain...I don't do it at all but go to youtube if you want to learn how just search "pokemon diamond cloning"
|
Wow...that's an incredibly high risk manuever...guess who isn't doing that...
|
Yea good idea, just stick with the honest way, it's safer lol
|
I know this is the wrong forum, but since this thread is wrapping up I figured I'd ask: Is Torchic for Chimchar an unreasonable trade
|
That's about as reasonable as they get.

If you're looking for Pokemon like that, you may as well just ask here. Most people would give it to you with little cost, or just for free (like me). |
the GTS was great last year when the game was just new and everyone started for the first time.. people really helped out each other
|
lol Dutch Courage you could of just used a link :P
The GTS cloning Glitch is painfull, and can take long even if it does work. The only way it could fail is if someone trades you what you want before you can get back to it. I've never heard of this being corrupt, it's widely accepted. Makes me think the Gold/Silver cloning method was easy :S Also cloned pokemon are identical in every single way. |
