List of glitches (Generation II): Difference between revisions

The Shiny Ditto glitch requires a game from [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], but only has an effect on a Generation II game. In Generation I, if a Pokémon uses the move {{m|Transform}} while already transformed, after being caught it will retain the {{IV}}s of the Pokémon it transformed into. Due to Shininess being determined by IVs in Generations I and II, this allows the player to make a wild Ditto Shiny by having it use Transform while already Transformed; this can be accomplished by either having a Shiny Pokémon that knows Transform ({{p|Mew}}, certain [[glitch Pokémon]], or a another Ditto), or by teaching a Shiny Pokémon (the best option is Gyarados, considering how easy it is to get a Shiny one) Mimic (making the Poékmon forget all their other moves will help because then the wild Ditto will always use Mimic), then having the wild Ditto use Mimic on the move Transform. While Shiny Pokémon do not exist in Generation I, due to being determined by IVs, this Ditto will be Shiny when traded to Generation II. The Shiny Ditto can then be fused with another Pokémon using the [[Q ◣ Glitch]], then stabilised and sent back to Johto.
