The '''void glitch''' is a specific application of the tweaking glitch only possible in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. First, the player must tweak a black area onto a section that would normally contain buildings, making it possible to walk through their improperly loaded walls. Then, by standing exactly one tile above the entrance to a building, reloading the area, and walking south, the player can end up on the interior map of the building, but in the black [[void]] area around the normally accessible portion, similar to the [[Surf glitch]]. As with the Surf glitch, it is then possible to navigate through the interconnecting area of this void to normally inaccessible overworld locations, most notably [[Newmoon Island]] and the [[Flower Paradise]], where the [[event]]-exclusive {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} reside. If the player walks more than 65,535 steps in the void, the game copies map data of already existing areas due to the 4,294,967,295 byte limit (each map tile takes up 65,536 bytes).

As the player is required to save the game in the void as part of the path to access Darkrai and Shaymin, the same risks associated with the [[Surf glitch]] occur here, such as becoming trapped without a method of escape. More notably, as the maneuvers in the void necessary to reach Newmoon Island and Flower Paradise are significantly more elaborate than with the Surf glitch (with the complete path to Darkrai requiring about two hours and the complete path to Shaymin requiring about one hour), it is possible for more serious corruption-related effects to occur. In the worst possible circumstance, the game may always immediately freeze upon loading the save file, forcing a new game to be started. | As the player is required to save the game in the void as part of the path to access Darkrai and Shaymin, the same risks associated with the [[Surf glitch]] occur here, such as becoming trapped without a method of escape.
