Surf glitch: Difference between revisions
the glitch wasn't fixed "because" of the items; both glitches enable access to the same void so since HoO was just found with tweaking, it's very possible that it could be done with surf glitch as well. Moving all Arceus details to the tweaking page

As this glitch bypasses the usual event flags, neither Pokémon will regenerate if the player later acquires the Member Card or Oak's Letter and travels to the area normally. To partially remedy this, the two event Pokémon were given through direct [[Mystery Gift]] distributions rather than Mystery Gift distributions of the event items. The items were not legitimately distributed until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, in which the glitch has been fixed | As this glitch bypasses the usual event flags, neither Pokémon will regenerate if the player later acquires the Member Card or Oak's Letter and travels to the area normally.
