List of glitches (Generation IV): Difference between revisions

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, if the player goes [[The Underground|underground]] while {{ga|Barry}} is not present at the [[Fight Area]] on the spot where he would appear, then comes up on the weekend, the player will be on top of Barry.<!--opponent rather than Barry?-->

===Broken escalator===

The glitch only occurs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. When talking to the {{tc|Hiker}} at [[Jubilife TV]] who allows Pokémon to be dressed up, if a button on the D-pad is pressed so that the {{player}} is facing away from the Hiker just before the screen to select which Pokémon will be dressed up opens, the player will not walk on the set path; this can lead to walking through walls or the Hiker, or canceling the action altogether.

===Egg determination glitch===

This glitch requires a Pokémon and an {{pkmn|Egg}} in the same spot in adjacent boxes. By having the cursor on the Pokémon in one box, pressing L or R to switch boxes as the display is rolling over to the next piece of data will allow the player to see the [[held item]] (always none), [[Nature]], [[Ability]], or [[type]] of the Pokémon inside an Egg.

===Honey shop glitch===

Opening up the sell menu will end the glitch.

===Mimic glitch===

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, if {{m|U-turn}} is used to change to a Pokémon holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice items|Choice item}} that also knows the move U-turn, that Pokémon will be forced to use U-turn despite not having used a move.

==In Pokémon Platinum==

In {{game|Platinum}}, going [[The Underground|underground]] on {{rt|227|Sinnoh}} between {{rt|226|Sinnoh}} and the horizontal row with the first patch of [[tall grass]], then coming back up will cause the player to be partly in the ground. Leaving this area causes the player to return to normal.

===Unusable Explorer Kit glitch===

===Cheryl glitch===

At the entrance of the [[Eterna Forest]], sometimes an NPC will walk on top of [[Cheryl]].

===HM05 Defog glitch===

In the Japanese version of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a boulder in the [[Slowpoke Well]] can be {{m|Strength|pushed}} over a ledge into the water. The boulder (unlike in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}) will act as if it was on dry land. The boulder was removed in international releases.

===Buena's Password glitch===

This glitch will not work if the player encounters a [[wild Pokémon]] while the GB Sounds is active. It will only activate if the GB Sounds is used via the [[Bag]], not as a registered [[item]].

===Haircut brothers glitch===

Every time {{m|Facade}}'s animation is shown, the user's sprite moves up by one pixel. Continuous use can result in creating a gap between the bottom of the sprite and the bottom of the screen.

===Fire Fang glitch===

If the player uses {{m|Baton Pass}} to pass a {{m|Substitute}} on to an {{p|Arceus}} holding a Plate, it will appear invisible after coming out. If the same Arceus then uses an attack which does not deal damage, the game will freeze after the animation has finished.

<!--Dark Void/Mirror Coat glitch: which occasionally doesn't happen for some reason.-->

The animation for {{m|Heat Wave}} activates after the [[In-battle effect item#Life Orb|Life Orb]] recoil rather than before it. This means that if a Pokémon used Heat Wave with at most 10% of its {{stat|HP}} left, it would faint and the Heat Wave animation would seemingly come out of nowhere.
