Celebi Egg glitch: Difference between revisions

The hatched Pokémon will hold an item depending to the fourth attack of the Pokémon used for the breeding. Both the item and the fourth attack share the same [[index number]]. For example, if the two Pokémon used for the breeding have the move {{m|Reflect}} as their fourth move, the hatched Pokémon will hold a [[GS Ball]] (or [[Teru-sama]] in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}). This is because both the [[GS Ball]] and {{m|Reflect}} have the same [[index number]]: 115. If the Pokémon used for the breeding have the move {{m|Whirlpool}} as their fourth attack or {{m|Beat Up}}, the hatched Pokémon will hold the glitch items HM08 or HM09 respectively. Neither of these [[HM]]s can be obtained in normal gameplay: they are filler items, and have no corresponding moves. If the Pokémon used for the breeding have no fourth attack, the hatched Pokémon will hold nothing.

When done incorrectly, the Celebi Egg glitch may also result in a lot of code read errors and Pokémon/character data becoming scrambled. Players may end up with numerous bad clones. Going to the <sc>Pokémon</sc> screen and looking at the move option will bring up all Pokémon in your party, as usual. However, selecting a Pokémon and going to the <sc>Move</sc> option will reveal that a ????? is hiding at least 50-80 glitch Pokémon. All of these glitch Pokémon represent the game's code and cause multiple bugs. Therefore, by switching their moves, the game's data, such as music and Pokédex entries, can be altered. The names of these Pokémon vary from ? to random characters and their levels range from 0 to 255. The player's name will also change to a random glitch name. Similarly, the player's ID number will change. The player's original name might be given to Pokémon with many ? in its name, or the names of old player files and Pokémon, and is usually tossed around with junk data (example: ???????GOLD?).
