It involves turning the game off at ''precisely'' the right moment before the Pokémon is deposited. If the Pokémon is deposited in the GTS and the connection is interrupted at the right time, the Pokémon in question would be in the player's [[party]] (or [[Pokémon storage system|PC box]]) and in the GTS, requiring the {{player}} only to withdraw the Pokémon from the GTS to obtain the clone. In [[Pokémon Platinum Version]], however, the glitch of cloning via GTS was remedied; if it is attempted, the game simply reports a communication error and returns the player back to the main desk. | ||

There is a glitch with the GTS that allows Pokémon to evolve by being traded, but without actually trading them. Players must first place a {{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading|Pokémon that evolves by trading it}} (with the correct held item, like [[Metal Coat]] for {{p|Scyther}} or [[Electirizer]] for {{p|Electabuzz}}) onto the GTS. To prevent the deposited Pokémon from being traded away, players request an impossible trade, such as a [[level]] 9 and under {{p|Mewtwo}}. | There is a glitch with the GTS that allows Pokémon to evolve by being traded, but without actually trading them.

The player must then search for a Pokémon on the GTS and trade for it. After this has been done, returning to the Pokémon that was placed on the GTS by the player and taking it back will cause it to evolve. Players, of course, must be careful with this, as the Pokémon can, in fact, be traded if the trade is not unreasonable enough. | The player must then search for a Pokémon on the GTS and trade for it.

Several developers have created programs that allow a player to send Pokémon to and from their computer using the GTS servers. This will count as a trade on the player's [[Trainer Card]]. | Several developers have created programs that allow a player to send Pokémon to and from their computer using the GTS servers.
