Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> scarlet <\/em>and Pok\u00e9mon Violet<\/em> had a rough launch, though you wouldn’t know that from its sales numbers. It’s got a lot of visual and performance problems, like pop-in, clipping, and slow frame rates, and alongside those bugs, there are issues that players are able to exploit for their own benefit. A bunch of those bugs allow players to duplicate items and Pok\u00e9mon \u2014 both shiny and legendary pocket monsters.<\/p>\n

Videos of the exploits have gone vital on TikTok, Twitter, and other social media platforms. The first of the lot is pretty easy, but its value is middling: Players can duplicate items found in the world as shiny spots on the ground, but they won’t know what they’ve got until they pick it up or start the duplicating process.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it works: Once you’ve found a shiny spot on the ground, place your picnic setup right on top of that spot. After idling for a bit, check your picnic basket. There won’t be an egg inside, but you should find an item. That same item will keep spawning in the basket if you keep waiting for longer and longer. <\/p>\n

it feels<\/em> like this is how picnics are supposed to work \u2014 at least, having your Pok\u00e9mon pick up items around the area. But the glitchy part seems to be how the item keeps spawning. A lot of the time, you’ll find TM ingredients under these shiny spots, which aren’t particularly valuable. But sometimes you’ll get rare or valuable items that your Pok\u00e9mon can use or that you can sell for money.<\/p>\n

We’ve been able to replicate this bug after seeing multiple videos on TikTok.<\/p>\n

The next item (and unintentional Pok\u00e9mon) duplication bug is a bit more in-depth, and requires you to have beaten Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet <\/em>and violet<\/em>‘s Area Zero questline. You’ll need to be able to turn your Miraidon or Koraidon into its battle form. Basically, you give you Miraidon or Koraidon an item to hold \u2014 anything you’d want to duplicate \u2014 and battle a wild Pok\u00e9mon and catch it with a full team. You’ll try to swap it out with Miraidon or Koraidon, attempting to send the legendary ride-on to your Pok\u00e9mon storage box, which, of course, isn’t possible. Unless<\/em> you hit the A and B buttons so fast that it confuses the game. If you do it correctly, Miraidon or Koraidon will be duplicated into your Pok\u00e9mon storage box, and the item it was holding will be added to your bag. <\/p>\n

But because you didn’t actually put your Miraidon or Koraidon into a box slot, when you add it back to your party from its ride-on mode, it’ll still be holding the item, too \u2014 so now you’ve got an extra. <\/p>\n

It’s complicated, but we were able to replicate this bug with a Rare Candy, and others on TikTok have done so with a Master Ball, for instance. People on TikTok warned that adding the duplicated Miraidon or Koraidon to your party could mess things up, so be wary there if you do try these out.<\/p>\n

YouTuber Austin John found another duplication glitch, one that allows players to catch multiples of the same shiny Pok\u00e9mon. It’s one of those scenarios that works only in a specific instance \u2014 in particular, when you’re right outside of towns and cities that don’t require a load screen before walking in. This glitch takes advantage of an issue that has Pok\u00e9mon loading and reloading when you cross a \u201cthreshold\u201d separating the wild areas from the cities. (It’s one issue that caused problems for me; Pok\u00e9mon will de-spawn in the wild area if you cross into a town line, and if you don’t do these specific actions, those Pok\u00e9mon won’t come back when you cross over again .)<\/p>\n

Here’s the video where Austin John outlines the steps in full detail:<\/p>\n
