Pokemon Brilliant DiamondandShining Pearlhave been out for a few days, giving players the chance to relive theDiamondandPearldays and explore the Sinnoh region. There have been some unfortunate issues discovered in the remakes, though, likePokemon Brilliant DiamondandShining Pearlplayers getting soft-locked in gyms, for example. Now another glitch has been found in thePokemon Brilliant DiamondandShining Pearlgames, and players can exploit it to clone Pokemon.
ThePokemon Brilliant DiamondandShining Pearlcloning glitch was discovered by Twitter user Kevinfor5. To do the glitch,Pokemon Brilliant DiamondandShining Pearlplayers need to visit the Solaceon Town daycare. Once there,Pokemon Brilliant DiamondandShining Pearlplayers need to access their Pokemon boxes and place two Pokemon in the same position in different boxes, i.e., a Pokemon in the corner of Box 1 and a Pokemon in the same corner of Box 2.

Then players want to take one of those Pokemon and put it in the Battle Box. Then select the other Pokemon to add to theSolaceon Town daycare. After selecting it for the daycare, click on “Box List,” press Y, and then swap the positions of the two Pokemon. Deposit the Pokemon in daycare, then when players open their Battle Box again, they’ll see that the bottom slot says Lv.99 with no Pokemon in it.

Afterwards, grab a Pokemon to delete and try to insert it into the Battle Box. Next grab the Pokemon that needs to be cloned and add it to the Battle Box.
