Stolen Poké Ball glitch

During the fifth chapter of the Looker Agency missions, the player is required to enter the room containing the stolen Poké Balls that are held within the Secret Lab of Lysandre Labs. In the upper-left corner, there is a table with a chair and two of the stolen Poké Balls nearby surrounding a second chair. If the player interacts with the table on its right or while sitting down, the game will display the message, "It's someone's Poké Ball" despite there being no Poké Ball on the table. Returning to the room after the chapter is over will not display the message if the table is interacted with again.

Wonder Trade glitch

If a Pokémon evolves by trading during Wonder Trade and learns a new move, both the new move and the old move will disappear.

Patched

GTS filter glitch

	This glitch is in need of research. Reason: Do other filters cause communication errors? You can discuss this on the talk page.

On the Global Trade System, after seeking a Pokémon it is possible to use a filter to narrow the results down to Trainers seeking for Pokémon that the player owns. Trying to initiate the trade however can cause a communication error where the game will display the message, "A communication error has occurred. Press the POWER button, and end the game", and be forced close the software. On October 25, 2013, a patch was released on Nintendo eShop that fixes the issue as well as the Lumiose City save glitch. Games that are version 1.0 will still be affected by this glitch.
