===Void glitch===
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 65,535 byte limit. This is called Fake Sinnoh (Diamond, Pearl and Platinum) or Fake Johto/Kanto. (HeartGold and SoulSilver) The funthing with the "fake" regions is that you can almost walk over everything.

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). This is called Fake Sinnoh (Diamond, Pearl and Platinum) or Fake Johto/Kanto. (HeartGold and SoulSilver) The fun thing with the "fake" regions is that you can almost walk over everything.
 
The only known location where a path to Darkrai or Shaymin has been successfully found is the void area around the [[Pokétch|Pokétch Company]] building in [[Jubilife City]].


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.

It is currently believed, although not conclusively proven, that the [[Hall of Origin]] is impossible to access with this glitch, as it is a closed-off indoor area without a single entry warp, thereby making it almost impossible to safely locate in the void compared to outdoor areas and indoor areas with many warps such as [[Turnback Cave]]. Regardless, as with the Surf glitch, it is impossible to battle {{p|Arceus}} this way, due to several reasons (see [[Hall of Origin#Trivia|here]] for more information).
The full, visible [[Hall of Origin]] map (as it appears after using the Azure Flute) is impossible to access with this glitch, as it is a closed-off indoor area without an accessible warp tile. The Hall of Origin map itself, however, can be accessed from within the void. By using the [[RETIRE trick]] in the Hall of Origin, it is possible to battle {{p|Arceus}} in the void an unlimited number of times.


Other areas that can be accessed through this glitch include the [[Hall of Fame]], {{p|Giratina}}'s room in Turnback Cave, and [[Route 227]]. As the void glitch simply requires a [[Bicycle]] to perform, all of these areas can be reached as early as the game's second [[Badge]].
