The Surf Glitch is a Generation IV glitch most famous for enabling the capture of promotional legendary Pokémon Darkrai and Shaymin. Arceus cannot be obtained through this method due to Arceus not being in a location that is possible to get to the Sinnoh underground.

The glitch is activated by using Surf on a door in Aaron's room and walking a specific number of steps to reach the legendary Pokémon's area. This is made easier by the Pokétch's step counter. Once the destination is reached and the Pokémon captured, Fly or Teleport can be used to exit the area and return to normal gameplay.
