List of glitches in Generation VIII: Difference between revisions

When viewing a Pokémon's stats in the box, the + button will not cycle to the Judge display if the Pokémon is held above a slot containing an Egg, nothing, or a menu option.

====Location glitch====

At certain precise locations, entering a battle causes the game to believe the player is in the wrong area when the battle ends. This can be exploited to catch weather-dependent Pokémon, or obtain Pokémon with an impossible encounter location such as the Meetup Spot.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ALMSCAPSbiG_DaJqLa2idkzBbA_leLy0rtANOqPornA Pokémon Sword/Shield Bingus Zone (Location Glitch)]</ref>

====Memory feeling off-by-one bug====

====Night Daze oversight====

When used, {{m|Night Daze}} damage will not be accounted for on the target's HP bar for the rest of the turn, unless the move has caused the target to faint or something else changes its HP.

====Rose Tower glitch====

====Rotom Bike turning radius glitch====

When the player uses the [[Rotom Bike]]'s turbo boost, its turning radius becomes larger. If the player speaks to an NPC, a [[Pokémon egg]] hatches, picks an item on the ground or opens the menu or the [[Y-Comm]] during a turbo boost, the bike will continue to have a larger turning radius despite the boost stopping prematurely. The radius will reset if the player uses a second turbo boost, enters or exits a body of water or gets off and back on the bike.

====Silvally Move Tutor glitch====

If a Pokémon has an effective speed greater than 1809, it will ignore the effects of {{m|Trick Room}}, and act before slower Pokémon. This glitch also exists in [[Generation V]], [[Generation VI|VI]] and [[Generation VII|VII]].

When viewing {{p|Vulpix}}'s Area page, it will show that it can spawn in the [[Giant's Cap]], although it can only spawn there in {{g|Sword}}, and only as a [[Max Raid Battle]] boss.

===Version 1.0.0 only===

==Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl==

===Cloning Pokémon and held items===

This allows the player to duplicate any Pokémon of their choosing, as well as their held items, by utilizing a glitch which allows the player to walk around in the overworld while the [[Menu|"X" menu]] remains on screen. This is achieved by going into the [[Party|"Pokémon" sub-menu]], checking a Pokémon's summary, and pressing ZL and ZR nearly simultaneously. The player can then back out into the overworld with the "X" menu on screen and walk around. Various methods to duplicate Pokémon have been documented.

This glitch was fixed by version 1.1.2, which correctly awards Blazing Sticker A instead.{{-}}

===Pokémon spawning in rocks===

If the decimal point is present, the pre-decimal part can be changed by new inputs, and is also not involved in calculations either. The calculation ignores the pre-decimal part and then removes the decimal point from the result, effectively multiplying the result by <math>10^n</math>, where <math>n</math> is the number of decimal places before the multiplication.

====Cries====

Like in the original Sinnoh games, when typing in a Pokémon's Pokédex number and then confirming, their [[cry]] will play, provided that the player has that Pokémon registered in their Pokédex (e.g. entering 1 will play Bulbasaur's cry). However, when the [[DS Sounds]] are activated, entering 493 won't play Arceus's cry for some reason.

===Snowpoint Gym slope oversights===

====Catching Shaymin====

On {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}, it is possible to use Surf just as the {{tc|Black Belt}} Carl spots the player and challenges them to a battle. After winning the battle, the player will be able to Surf on land and therefore reach the [[Seabreak Path]], and eventually the [[Flower Paradise]] with {{p|Shaymin}} without the requisite items.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_zDbZ7xA70 GLITCH: Catch Shaymin Early in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl With This Trick (Guide) Nov 27, 2021]</ref>

==Sword, Shield, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl==

====Re-encountering Pokémon====

If the {{player}} finds any shaking [[resource node]]s with a Pokémon inside them (trees, crates, tumblestone deposits, etc.), the player can get the Pokémon to jump out by throwing a [[Poké Ball (Hisui)|Poké Ball]] with a Pokémon inside it at the shaking resource node. After the encounter, if the player goes inside of a cave or cavern (going back to [[Jubilife Village]] will cause this not to work) within the current map and waits for 30 minutes, the player can return back to the same resource node, and find exactly the same Pokémon inside it that they found before.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQXEBUEL9m0&t=100s The 7 BEST Glitches in Pokemon Legends Arceus Feb 15, 2022]</ref>

====Snowpoint Temple levitation glitch====

====Thundurus crash glitch====

During the battle with {{p|Thundurus}}, the game may crash.

===Versions 1.0.0 - 1.1.0===
