OrangeAurora (talk | contribs) (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!) |

While cloning glitches have been found in multiple [[generation]]s, the methods to achieve cloning vary from game to game. Most of these methods involve exploiting the relatively long save times of the Pokémon games to interrupt the [[Save|saving]] process when only a portion of data has been saved successfully. Like most glitches, there are negative side effects, such as the potential loss of the Pokémon to be cloned or even corruption of the saved data. | ||

If the glitch is used with a game attached to Pokémon Stadium 2, there is a chance of getting strange glitch Pokémon. If the player withdraws a Pokémon and continues the cloning glitch, if the game is turned off at the right time, the cloned Pokémon will vanish and be replaced by a Pokémon with the same name, attack, and level as the Pokémon removed. Its sprite will be identical to the cloned Pokémon, but if sent into battle, it will appear as the withdrawn Pokémon. Its species name will be the same as the cloned Pokémon's and it will be able to learn all the TMs/HMs as the cloned Pokémon. However, it will evolve as the withdrawn Pokémon does. | If the glitch is used with a game attached to Pokémon Stadium 2, there is a chance of getting strange glitch Pokémon.

In [[Generation IV]], a cloning method reminiscent of the methods from the first two generations appeared, involving the use of the [[Global Trade System|GTS]]. If the Pokémon is deposited in the GTS and the connection were to be interrupted at the right time, the Pokémon in question would be both in the player's [[party]] or [[Pokémon Storage System|PC Box]] and in the GTS, requiring the {{player}} only to withdraw the Pokémon from the GTS to obtain the clone. In [[Pokémon Platinum Version]], however, the glitch of cloning via GTS was removed; if attempted, the game simply reported a communication error and returned the player back to the main desk. | In [[Generation IV]], a cloning method reminiscent of the methods from the first two generations appeared, involving the use of the [[Global Trade System|GTS]].
