List of glitches (Generation III): Difference between revisions

If the player loses the fight with Miror B at the Cave Poké Spot (where he initially has a Shadow Voltorb), none of the Miror B rematches will ever provide another opportunity to capture the Shadow Voltorb again. This means the player will only ever be able to capture 81 of the 83 total Shadow Pokémon in the game, and will not be able to capture the Voltorb or Dragonite without completely restarting the game.

Note: As long as you win the fight (even if you knock out Voltorb), you will still be able to encounter it from Miror B later on in the game. This glitch only happens if you lose the initial fight. This Shadow Voltorb is missing a flag in its code that is present on every other Shadow Pokémon in battles where you're allowed to lose to still progress the story.
