This is one of two glitches in the games to be officially acknowledged by [[Nintendo]],<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/adpj/info/ ポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド・パール／お知らせ]</ref> with the other being the [[surf glitch]]. In early copies of the Japanese versions, after entering the [[Union Room]] on the second floor of the {{si|Pokémon League}} building, which shares the layout with the second floor of any regular [[Pokémon Center]], the player will end up in a wall and not be able to return.

If the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is deposited in the GTS and the connection is interrupted at the right time, the Pokémon in question would be in the player's [[party]] or [[Pokémon Storage System]] box and in the GTS, requiring the player only to withdraw the Pokémon from the GTS to obtain the clone.

===No Guard glitch===
A {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{a|No Guard}} can successfully hit an opponent's Pokémon that has used either {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}, but only if the attacker uses a move with less than 100% {{stat|accuracy}}; the lower the initial accuracy of the move, the higher the chance of the move breaking through Protect or Detect. Thus, when used against Protect or Detect, moves like {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}} will always be blocked. [[One-hit knockout move]]s are exempted from this behavior as they will always miss.

===Protection bypass glitch===
If an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move ({{m|Lock-On}}/{{m|Mind Reader}}), the weather ({{m|Thunder}} in [[rain]], or {{m|Blizzard}} in {{weather|hail}}), a [[Micle Berry]], or an Ability ({{a|No Guard}}), it has a chance to hit through {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Detect}} equal to <code>(100 - move {{stat|accuracy}})%</code>. [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] moves are unaffected, and will never hit through Protect or Detect.

The [[Explorer Kit]] is not usable when the player stands two tiles to the right of the {{tc|Bug Catcher}} at the western entrance of [[Eterna City]]. Instead the message "Rowan's words echoed... <Player>! There's a time and place for everything! But not now." will appear.

Another variation on this glitch can be used to "clone" traps. By having one player place a trap(s) and having the other player pick up the traps and saving, if the first player resets his game without saving both players will have the trap(s).

===Ace Trainer Kate oversight===
===Ace Trainer Kate oversight===
There is a slight glitch with {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Kate on {{rt|34|Johto}}. She will only {{pkmn|battle}} the player if he or she walks straight down the path. If the player walks to either side of her, she will apologize as she would after the player has defeated her. If the player walks down the path towards her after talking to her on the side she will somehow see them while facing the wrong way and then battle. If the player talks to her at the side, then goes directly above her, talks to her again from above and goes up, she will see the player while they are moving up, walk up, and end up on the same tile as the player's [[walking Pokémon]].

In the Japanese versions, a boulder in the [[Slowpoke Well]] can be {{m|Strength|pushed}} over a [[ledge]] into the [[Water tile|water]]. The boulder will act as if it was on dry land. It was removed in the localizations.

===Pokéwalker data cloning===

{{GlitchResearch|If the cloned Pokémon is traded out to another game, or leveled up in the Pokéwalker, does the game accept?}}
{{GlitchResearch|If the cloned Pokémon is traded out to another game, or leveled up in the Pokéwalker, does the game accept?}}
When a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is successfully transferred to the [[Pokéwalker]] but the game is turned off before [[saving]], the Pokémon would appear in both the Pokéwalker and the [[Pokémon Storage System]] box it was in prior to the transfer. However, attempting to bring the Pokémon in the Pokéwalker back into the game would cause it to be {{pkmn2|released}} into the {{pkmn2|wild}}, even if the original Pokémon data had already been deleted or moved, such as being [[trade]]d or released. This is because the data of the Pokémon that was transferred was not saved onto the game, thus the game will not recognize the Pokémon that is on the Pokéwalker, therefore it releases it. The game only recognizes Pokémon caught from the Pokéwalker and the Pokémon's data that is stored in the game after the transfer. This is to prevent external or third-party devices from transferring Pokémon data onto the game.

===Walking Pokémon position glitch===
===Walking Pokémon position glitch===
If the [[menu]] is opened while the [[walking Pokémon]] jumps off a [[ledge]] and the player checks the status screen of any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[party]], the Pokémon will get a little bit higher up, so viewing the stats of a Pokémon continuously will result in the Pokémon going off-screen.

==In Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver==
===Waterfall glitch===
If, before going down on a Waterfall, left or right is pressed on the D pad just before down is also pressed, the player will descend the Waterfall facing left or right instead of down.

===Corrupted save file cloning===
===Corrupted save file cloning===
Occasionally, when the [[Saving|save file]] gets corrupted, the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} data is kept. When this happens, the game can still be saved, but the save file will be unable to be loaded. With the assistance of another handheld and another game, the Pokémon can be [[trade]]d from the game with the corrupted save file. After the trade is completed, if the game is rebooted, the Pokémon traded from the corrupted save file will be in both games but the other traded Pokémon will be lost.

===Fire Fang glitch===
{{m|Fire Fang}} is able to hit through {{a|Wonder Guard}}, even if the target does not have a weakness to {{type|Fire}} moves. This does not apply to {{m|Ice Fang}} and {{m|Thunder Fang}}. Presumably the [[glitch]] went unnoticed as the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that naturally has Wonder Guard, {{p|Shedinja}}, is weak to Fire-type moves anyway.

If a {{p|Kadabra}} is [[trade]]d while holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, it will still evolve into {{p|Alakazam}}.
If a {{p|Kadabra}} is [[trade]]d while holding an {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Everstone}}, it will still evolve into {{p|Alakazam}}.


Although this appears to be a [[glitch]], it is probably intentional given {{DL|Pokémon controversy|Uri Geller|the controversy surrounding Kadabra and Uri Geller}}.
===Pal Park name encoding glitch===
{{GlitchResearch|Need to see if this still works in HG/SS. Also, ZAPRONG from XD needs to have its nicknames in non-English languages checked for applicable characters.}}
In Western versions of the games, if a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has a non-English or non-Japanese character (except a vowel with an {{wp|Diaeresis (diacritic)|umlaut}} or a type of {{wp|quotation mark}}, such as double {{wp|guillemet}}s) in either its [[nickname]] or [[original Trainer]] name and it is sent through [[Pal Park]], those characters will be converted into their corresponding characters in the [[Character encoding in Generation III|Japanese character encoding]].


===Pal Park name encoding glitch===
This occurs because Pal Park uses the Japanese encoding for all characters, except quotation marks (which use the appropriate quotation marks for the language) and using {{wp|halfwidth}} characters in Western games. While this means all nicknames and Trainer names the player can enter are handled correctly (due to the limited characters that can be input for these names in Generation III), there are a few [[in-game trade]]s in the Spanish games which have non-English characters in either their [[original Trainer]] name or [[nickname]], and a few preset {{pkmn|Trainer}} names in the Spanish games also contain non-English characters. All applicable cases are listed below.
{{GlitchResearch|Need to see if this still works in HG/SS, and to find out if every language version is affected by this glitch}}
 
In Western versions of the games, if a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has a non-English or non-Japanese character (for example, á, é, í, ó, ú, etc.) in either its [[nickname]] or [[original Trainer]] name and it is sent through [[Pal Park]], those characters will be converted into random kana.

In most circumstances, this is not a problem, since in Western versions of the games prior to [[Generation IV]] such as the Spanish version, when naming the player or nicknaming a Pokémon, the character set is restricted to English characters. However, there are a few in-game trades where non-English characters appear in either the original Trainer name or nickname, and a few preset {{pkmn|Trainer}} names also contain non-English characters. For example, in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is a Trainer in [[Cinnabar Island]] who offers a {{p|Seel}} for a {{p|Ponyta}}, and in Spanish versions, the Seel given to the player is nicknamed SEELÍN. When this Pokémon is transferred through Pal Park, the Í is converted into kana コ, changing the nickname to SEELコN.
