(the glitch wasn't fixed "because" of the items; both glitches enable access to the same void so since HoO was just found with tweaking, it's very possible that it could be done with surf glitch as well. Moving all Arceus details to the tweaking page)

Due to a programming mistake, the door in {{EF|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 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.

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. The player will be transported back outside their house in [[Twinleaf Town]], allowing them to resume the game.
