List of cloning glitches: Difference between revisions

more info about smeargle cloning. also clearing up misinformation about the size of eligible mons for cloning. more research is needed to get everything in stone. also, tpc and ilca likely know about this glitch, so I'm assuming theyre working on at least a server side block on cloned legends/mythicals like in bdsp. again, more research is needed!

===Smeargle cloning glitch===
If the player lures a {{P|Smeargle}} very close to a tree in the [[Terarium]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], has the wild Smeargle use {{M|Sketch}} to sketch {{M|Transform}}, then has the wild Smeargle use Transform on a sufficiently large Pokémon, if the player then runs away from the battle, the Smeargle will become a clone of the Pokémon it transformed into, and the player can then re-encounter the clone in a battle to capture it.
{{glitchResearch|Info about which Pokémon are eligible to be cloned is still unclear.  Also, can a cloned legendary/mythical Pokémon without initially having a HOME tracker value still be used with HOME, or is there a special restriction like there is with BDSP?}}
If the player lures a {{P|Smeargle}} very close to a tree in the [[Terarium]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], has the wild Smeargle use {{M|Sketch}} to sketch the move {{M|Transform}}, then has the wild Smeargle use Transform, if the player then runs away from the battle, the Smeargle will become a clone of the Pokémon it transformed into, and the player can then re-encounter the clone in a battle to capture it. The clone will disappear from the overworld if the game is saved and restarted if it is not caught.


Much like the curry cloning glitch, most aspects of the original Pokémon will stay the same (including its held item and any ribbons or marks), but info about where and how it was caught, and the info about who caught it will be overwritten. The [[Pokémon HOME]] tracker value will also be copied if the original Pokémon had one, so clones made from this glitch cannot be used there in those cases.

Furthermore, by having the wild Smeargle transform into certain battle-only forms, such as Terastal Form {{P|Terapagos}} or Hero Form {{P|Palafin}}, the clone will be able to sustain these forms outside of battle where they otherwise wouldn't be until the clone is placed in the PC or until the game is restarted.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBELGzO-O1U</ref>


Using this glitch, it's possible to clone Pokémon obtained through the NPC trades in the [[League Club Room|BB League Club Room]], and since OT and ID data is overwritten upon capturing a clone, but ribbons and marks are copied, the Partner Ribbon is able to be obtained on a Pokémon the game considers to be the players, allowing any OT to be a Pokémon's title.
Stellar Form Terapagos and {{p|Ogerpon}} in its Terastallized State cannot be cloned, as Transform fails against those targets. However, the player can still Terastallize clones of Ogerpon and Terapagos to use said forms.
