Celebi Egg glitch: Difference between revisions

If the Pokémon used for breeding has no third attack, the Pokémon that will come out from the Egg (after the glitch) will be a "bad clone" of the [[glitch Pokémon]] #000 [[Five question marks|?????]]. This Pokémon, like other "bad clones" cannot be seen by the [[Pokémon Storage System|PC]], and hence cannot be deposited in the player's PC or released. There are only 2 known ways to release a "bad clone." One way is to trade it to a [[Generation I]] game. Upon arrival, it will become a Generation I original or glitch Pokémon, which may be released normally. The other is to use the PC in the lab on {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} where the "bad clones" will show up as {{p|Ditto}} or, sometimes, another Pokémon, allowing the player to release it. Recently, a third way has been discovered by Frankie The Squealer that doesn't require trading or Stadium 2. The player has to take both the bad clone(s) and a normal, unglitched Pokémon to the [[Bug Catching Contest]] on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday. The unglitched Pokémon should be in first position in the player's party. When entering the contest, the player will be asked to use the first Pokémon in their party and leave the others (i.e. the bad clone(s)) with the contest helper. After the contest has ended the bad clone(s) will be gone, even though the contest helper still mentions giving the player their remaining Pokémon back.
