The '''Surf glitch''' is a [[glitch]] found only in the Japanese versions of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} best known for allowing the player to catch the [[event]]-only [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}. It is one of two glitches in [[Generation IV]] [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/adpj/info/index.html?C officially acknowledged by Nintendo], with the other being the {{dl|List of glitches (Generation IV)|broken escalator oversight}}. | |||

Due to | Due to a programming mistake, the door in [[Aaron]]'s room of the {{si|Pokémon League}} can be Surfed through, by facing the door and manually selecting {{m|Surf}} from the [[party]] screen. This allows the player to step into the [[void]] around the indoor area and walk to other areas. | ||
By counting steps using the [[Pokétch]] pedometer app, the player can travel to [[Newmoon Island]] and the [[Flower Paradise]] without the [[Member Card]] and [[Oak's Letter]], respectively. The | By counting steps using the [[Pokétch]] pedometer app, the player can travel to [[Newmoon Island]] and the [[Flower Paradise]] without the event-exclusive [[Member Card]] and [[Oak's Letter]] items, respectively. The player can proceed to catch {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} at these locations, then {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Teleport}} back to a normally-accessible area and resume play. | ||
As this glitch bypasses the usual event flags, neither Pokémon will regenerate if the player later acquires the Member Card or Oak's Letter and travels to the area normally. To partially remedy this, the two event Pokémon were given through direct [[Mystery Gift]] distributions rather than Mystery Gift distributions of the event items. The items were not legitimately distributed until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, in which the Surf glitch has been fixed. | |||
It is also possible to use the Surf glitch to reach other areas, including the [[Hall of Fame]]. | |||

As the [[void]] is not intended to be accessed during the normal course of the game, it poses the risk of the player getting trapped with no way out, thus forcing them to either [[cheat]] to escape or start their game anew. This is most likely to occur if the player incorrectly follows the steps to reach a desired area and/or saves their game in the wrong place. | |||

The glitch was removed from international releases of the games. | ||
For both this glitch and the above-mentioned broken escalator glitch, in the case where the player has saved the game while trapped, it is possible to repair the save state with a program that was distributed to [[DS Download Station]]s in Japan starting October 27, 2006. The player will be transported back outside their house in [[Twinleaf Town]], allowing them to resume the game. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
* While the Surf glitch has been removed in the international versions of Diamond and Pearl, there exists another glitch, [[tweaking]], that still allows the player to enter the [[void]]. Like the Surf glitch, it can be used to reach the Hall of Fame, Newmoon Island, and Flower Paradise, among other areas. | |||
