Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are Nintendo’s newest Pokemon games. However, they’ve had significant issues since their release. Fans have quickly pointed out a number of flaws in the games, ranging from faulty animations to game-breaking soft locks. Players have uncovered an exploit that allows them to clone any Pokemon in their PC box, despite the fact that the newest update to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl aimed to fix some serious issues.

This new version also includes a remedy for a previous clone bug identified shortly after the game’s November release. Despite Nintendo’s best efforts, a similar bug has been discovered, allowing players to obtain the same consequences. The bug can be performed by anyone who has downloaded the update, despite the fact that the technique is very complicated.

Clone Glitch

In order to perform the glitch, the player must stand in front of a Pokemon center and simultaneously press the R and A buttons. The user can then enter the Pokemon Center while simultaneously accessing the Fly menu.

The player must then traverse the Pokemon Center’s escalators, escape the building, and fly to any location on the map without closing the Fly menu. By opening the PC and moving each Pokemon to an empty box, then quitting the box completely, the user will have created perfect clones of the selected Pokemon.

Duplicating Pokemons

• In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, duplicating Pokemon gives the player a major advantage. Despite being one of a kind, you can still clone Legendary Pokemon via this hack.
• Through this procedure, the user can also clone items; any copied Pokemon will have the same held item as its original counterpart.
• The player can clone Rare Candies to increase all of their Pokemon to the highest level without ever fighting. Even the Master Ball can multiply, making capturing any Pokemon a piece of cake.

The Consequence

• These flaws are not without consequence. On the Fly menu, the user can force their game to restart and lose all of their saved progress. If the autosave feature isn’t off beforehand, it can interfere with the glitch.
• Though this exploit can be extremely useful, any Pokemon enthusiast who wants to take advantage should plan ahead of time. However, until they resolve the problem, players are able to clone all of their most valuable Pokemon.
