QR Code pokemon hack thoughts
 
Saw this on Ign and actually tried it out and it works , I'm pretty sure everybody knows about it by now and nintendo will probably patch it soon so what are your thoughts about the Glitch pretty much

This is what I'm talking about if you haven't seen it

Pretty much this exploit thingy just let you clone your pokemon.

It doesn't; it adds in a new Pokemon to the very first slot of the very first PC box. If you clear your 3DS browser history and cookies and leave the very first slot in the PC open. You open the QR scanner, scan the code, then it crashes. Later, the Pokemon will be in the PC.

Wow! This is pretty awesome! Might just get one for my team to counter things that look hax, like Dancie. Mega Evolved, that things defenses are insane.

This is actually a web browser exploit that has been around for a while. in fact there are more programs to do this and are way more convenient as they allow for whole box import and export and even save editing.

BakingBluePotatoe February 26th, 2015 5:42 PM

I only like it because there's one code that lets you mass-clone whatever's in Box 1 Slot One, and I don't have to take my game out of my stem or anything. Yay. DITTOS FOR EVERYONE.

Altairis February 26th, 2015 5:54 PM

Wow there's a way I can clone without having Poversaves?? I will have to check this out, sounds interesting.

Skip Class February 26th, 2015 6:11 PM

I've been helping out a few people with hitting up some requests on reddit which is pretty fun and I'm using it to fill up the missing pokemon on my dex.

Just highlighting these points from the article, because people just miss these out :
Quote:

- Using this method will not add the Pokemon to your Pokedex. The easiest way to do fix this is to deposit and withdraw the Pokemon from the Pokemon Bank (or you can trade between friends I think).
- This does not work with the New 3DS or New 3DS XL

Also apparently some people have had game saves go corrupt (and apparently corrupt their 3DSs - but no real source or proof for that so I can't really justify it yet).
Wondering if anyone knows more bout this whole method killing you saves? (Then again I wasn't sure if any other way to hack pokemon games have that risk as well - don't hack much so was wondering.)

Yeah, I've tried the cloning one, and I find it very useful. ^^ I think that the clone QR's the only thing I'll be using for now though. I tried the Hoopa one, but I couldn't find a non-shiny one, so I deleted the little bugger. Aw well~

ars25 February 26th, 2015 7:14 PM


heres a link to the fourm (this links to the one that allows for dumping of the save also the program also the link for the editor) (if this is not allowed sorry been a while since i read the rules ^_^ ) so easy cloneing and such

slyroh February 26th, 2015 7:34 PM

This comes out just as I get used to PKHex, I'll probably stick to that honestly

From What Ive read The only way it can corrupt your save if You add a poke in XY with a Moves or megastones that are not coded in the game but thats only on Xy idk about ORas

well for the items i think the game doesn't read it but for the moves the game loads them as a blank those corruptions were of bad edits

Candy February 26th, 2015 9:21 PM

I'm currently exploiting it by giving myself some breeding Dittos (there's a thread filled with QR codes on reddit actually). Probably not going to use it for anything else aside from giving myself Dittos though haha.

Ah thank you! What I needed. So no sleeper virus? Someone's been preaching this on facebook, but it's honestly sounding like a load of BS without the proof. So been looking for more things on what causes it to crash than just that.


Also daamn, never noticed how pretty shiny Xerneas was.

Been hitting up on the item x 999 codes lately and crafting a few more requests and what not.
Shiny charm QR code has been released, but I don't think I'll get it till I'll legit get it after my pokedex is complete.

SleeplessUmbreon February 28th, 2015 10:19 AM

I was thinking about the pokémon QR codes on facebook, but nop lol
Well, that looks very useful to have some pokémon with you can't take it (Events, blocked, etc)
But it can corrupt your game? :P

TCB February 28th, 2015 10:59 AM

I've been using it mainly to weed out any missing GTS Pokemon I don't have. It's been very helpful and finally completing my Hoenn Pokedex. Thank you cloning QR code.

Other than that, I've been having fun with using these codes for certain Pokemon I lost (event/legendaries) and for the most part everything's been going well.

If you have noticed you used this method to get a Pokemon you haven't seen and/or caught but it hasn't registered in your Pokedex, just put them in the Day Care and take them back it out. It should do the trick.

From what I've seen it will only corrupt your game if: 1) You somehow messed up on the process, 2) Used a code that's only compatible with a certain game and not for others (ORAS-only for example) and 3) the person who made the codes didn't know what they were really doing and messed up.

Z25 February 28th, 2015 1:43 PM

Ilike this method, It's fun and helpful! I now have ashiny hoopa just cause, lol.

Crady February 28th, 2015 4:33 PM

More convenient method to clone would probably be using PCEdit.

Relevant tread - Link

JP March 2nd, 2015 12:59 PM

It's a pretty great method. It's making my PowerSave pretty useless at this point. Definitely helps speed up the process, and now I can get version exclusives that are as legitimate as possible.

destinedjagold March 2nd, 2015 7:39 PM

It seems that trading with people online is now starting to become scarce ever since these QR codes became known. It's sad... :(

What made online trading scarce was people only asking for mews and keldeos lol

destinedjagold March 2nd, 2015 8:46 PM

Welp, seems that there's a patch now to fix this exploit~

Qibli March 2nd, 2015 9:17 PM

Welp! You have to update to play X/Y/ORAS otherwise can't use the exploit

Pretty sure you'll need to update in order to use anything from the E-Shop. since it's just the firmware update. XYORAS will still work online 'til GF releases a new patch which will force us to update our system.

Aka. you're able not to accept the update, but that'll prevent you from using softwares like the Pokebank, which most of my breedables are located. Bah, I guess I'll grab as many Ditto and x999 items as I can before updating.

Qibli March 2nd, 2015 10:05 PM

I didn't know 999 item exploit existed. Full restores here I come

I- I know that feel man.

Came out a week after I got mine too :*( I can still use it for other games though.

Millzy March 4th, 2015 5:02 AM

Can anyone do this for me and get me 6IV Dittos, one of each nature listed here, for a total of 9 Dittos:

(Please make them from a foreign game from english, am from US)

Adamant, Modest, Timid, Jolly, Bold, Calm, Impish, Careful, and Serious

Thanks so much! I would do it myself but I have the New Nintendo 3DS XL.

Millzy

Tetra March 4th, 2015 8:37 AM

I didn't find out about this until recently. I applaud the person who discovered how to do this, however I believe that using this shouldn't become too common because the whole point of trading with others on the PSS pretty much becomes useless, to be honest.

I'm kinda glad that it's been patched. Stuff like this can ruin the game in some ways. I'd rather trade and get cool Pokémon rather then hack them in via this method.

Dracowyn March 4th, 2015 9:59 AM

I'm not sure about this. It's not like I didn't use it, I used it to get a Hoopa and Volcanion, but I ultimately want to replace these with legit ones.

Aside from that I won't use it, but being a shiny hunter I can't approve of people exploiting this to get shinies.

Neither do I approve using this to get 6IV or battle ready pokemon. Not that I'm a competitive player but still.

KENSHlN March 4th, 2015 12:50 PM

This is even better. You can give yourself a 6 IV Ditto and any children born from any hacked parents are considered legit.

I approve of this as far as making breeding even easier.

Otherwise, I use the hacked perfect Shinies for fun and wouldn't use them in a legit tournament.

oshimas March 4th, 2015 8:03 PM

i heard of the things that happened with bad qr codes on x (or if getting pokemon with oras exclusive moves). it was risky doing it on x let alone oras if it was a bogus code. plus of from what i heard, i think it got patched already? so it's good in a way that it did, cause things would have gotten out of hand with those codes.

Gligar March 28th, 2015 12:18 AM

Apparently it doesn't work anymore.And some of them may apparently give you a virus so I'm not trying this QR code thingy any time soon. I'll train my team the original way and make it the very best.
