I'm just wondering all the risks of cloning with GTS. Is there a chance I'll lose my game?

There is a chance you'll lose the Pokemon you're trying to clone... and a lot of people frown on cloned Pokemon. It's your choice if you'd like to risk losing your Pokemon or not.

I'm doing it to get rare candies I was just wondering if it was worth it but if you only lose the pokemon then I could just use a crappy one right?

Just use a Bidoof if you are going to clone items. ^_^

The new Pokemon games are backed twice so you dont need to worry about losing your data as you have a backup save file.

Don't worry about losing your game, though - Diamond/Pearl uses a backup system where it always keeps a 2nd copy of your save file, so you'll never ose it.

I'm not sure if this is completely true or not but it also makes your wireless router non-Wifi compatible. After failing at cloning, my wireless router has been slower than usual...

They don't have mods on there, do they? I mean, you rightfully paid for the game, so you should be able to have access to every feature without the risk of being banned.

I don't see any reason to clone... for me personally, if I want more than one Shiny I am quite capable of going into a grassy patch and chaining Pokemon... Though I wish I had some level 90 something Linoones for Pickup XD... Maybe I'll work on that...

I know a glitch for cloning items in D/P:

Get a Ditto and a Pokémon that knows Thief, Covet, etc. Attach the item you want to clone to Ditto. Then go to route 209 (I'm not sure) and use the VS Seeker to fight a couple. THey'll have a Meditate and a Machop. Get the Meditate out of the way, then use Ditto's Transform to turn into Machop. Use Thief or Covet in your Ditto. Then just kill the Machop. After battling, both your Ditto and your other Pokémon should have the item attached!

I think this happens because when you use Thief or Covet in a trainer's Pokémon, he/she will get the item back when you have another battle. But this won't happen with your own Pokémon, that's why you need to have Ditto. I think it copies some data of your foe that makes the game think it is your foe, so it returns the item to Ditto.



i copied this i will not take credit from whoever it was who found it
