List of glitches in Generation IX

2025-10-18T23:21:46Z

Angrytheeevee:

{{Outdated|needs=Pokemon Legends Z-A is absent.}}

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation IX]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]].

==Scarlet and Violet==
===All versions===
====Battle glitches====
=====Ally Switch Terapagos visual glitch=====
In a [[double battle]], if {{p|Terapagos}} is switched in on the same turn as its ally uses {{m|Ally Switch}} {{a|Tera Shift}} will appear to turn Terapagos into its ally rather than its Terastal Form. This effect is only visual and Terapagos will still have the moves and stats of its Terastal form. If the transformed Terapagos [[Terastal phenomenon|terastalizes]], it will display the Tera Jewel corresponding to the Tera type of the Pokémon it transformed into rather than the {{t|Stellar}} Tera Jewel. If it uses {{m|Tera Starstorm}} while in this state and the displayed Tera Jewel is not Stellar, the move will animate like a single target move and appear to only to do damage to one target in the animation, however both foes will take damage. If the Terapagos is transformed into a Pokémon with the Stellar tera type and uses {{m|Tera Starstorm}} while terastilized it will animate as double target move as usual, but if it hits a Pokémon that is using a {{cat|Protection moves|protection move}} there is a chance it will erroneously say a [[Critical Hit]] was landed despite the protection move successfully activating.<ref>https://x.com/TesloboVGC/status/1886574170517217735</ref><ref>https://x.com/TesloboVGC/status/1886574399861514327</ref>

=====Interrupted cheer deduction glitch=====
During a [[Tera Raid Battle]], if a cheer is confirmed at the same time as an extra action from a boss is triggered and interrupts the cheer from executing, the number of usable cheers may still be deducted despite the cheer not actually being used.

{{YouTubeEmbed|e2r6USb-3PE|Flametix|Violet|Violet}}

=====Missing TM Materials item IDs=====
There are 23 stubbed items in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} that map to [[TM Material]]s for {{p|Sprigatito}}, {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, {{p|Koraidon}}, {{p|Miraidon}}, the [[treasures of ruin]], and [[Paradox Pokémon]] found in the [[Paldea Pokédex]], [[List of items by index number in Generation IX|item ID]]s 2100-2102 (Sprigatito through Quaxly), 2124-2125 (Koraidon and Miraidon), 2138-2151 (Paradox Pokémon, excluding Walking Wake and Iron Leaves), and 2152-2155 (treasures of ruin).<ref>https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/5002-pok%C3%A9-portal-event-23-great-tusk-and-iron-treads-spotlight-chesnaught-the-unrivaled/?do=findComment&comment=4319</ref>

If the game attempts to grant these items to the player, such as via the rewards following the completion of a [[Tera Raid Battle]], the game will crash.

{{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} event raids did attempt to grant bonus drops of TM Materials, however they were unaffected by this glitch due to not having an associated TM Material item ID. 7★ Raid Battles for species not found in Paldea, (such as {{p|Charizard}}), were also unaffected, as they did not have TM Materials in the item pool.

The first instance of this glitch occurred May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023 with the introduction of {{p|Great Tusk}} and {{p|Iron Treads}} event raids.

======May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023 Poké Portal News event glitches======
[[File:Great Tusk and Iron Treads Glitched TM Material.jpg|thumb|250px|The item rewards screen of one of the glitched Great Tusk and Iron Treads raids, attempting to display a non-existent [[TM Material]] prior to the game crashing.]]
[[File:Cancelled 7 Star Delphox Announcement.jpg|thumb|250px|An announcement for a 7★ {{p|Delphox}} event intended to run from May 25 to 28, 2023 that briefly appeared in the [[Pokémon HOME]] calendar on May 21, before being removed from the event calendar.]]
{{main|Poké Portal News#May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023}}
{{main|Poké Portal News#June 16 to 19, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → June 16 to 19, 2023}}
This event was originally intended to run between May 19, 00:00 UTC to May 21, 23:59 UTC, 2023, but included two notable glitches during its initial introduction on May 19, 2023:
* The item rewards attempted to grant and display [[TM Material]]s for Great Tusk and Iron Treads, despite both species not having associated TM Material items. This caused the item rewards screen for some players to display "None" as one of the item rewards, followed by the game crashing.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1659386207162204161 Video clip of glitched TM Materials and game crash for Great Tusk Raid by @Sibuna_Switch, via Twitter]</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1659353658163621893</ref>
* All Iron Treads raids with random Tera types were erroneously coded never to appear as {{Shiny}},<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1659352905692971010</ref> despite both versions of Great Tusk, and the Iron Treads with the forced {{t|Ground}} Tera type being able to appear as Shiny at the standard 1:4103.05 odds.
At approximately 02:00 UTC on May 19, 2023,<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1659380996343578624</ref> all event raids were removed from the server, (including the 7★ Chesnaught the Unrivaled event), replaced with completely blank event data for any players that connected during this time. The official Japanese twitter account issued an apology,<ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1659389212679098368</ref> but the event was eventually announced as being cancelled entirely.<ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1659516228363489281</ref> This is the first instance of a Poké Portal News event being removed from the server entirely to address a glitch.

Additionally, an announcement for a 7★ {{p|Delphox}} event running from May 26, 2023 00:00 UTC to May 28, 2023 23:59 UTC briefly appeared in the [[Pokémon HOME]] calendar on May 21, but was removed almost immediately, likely due to the cancellation of the prior event causing scheduling conflicts.

The June 16 to 19, 2023 rescheduled event resolved both aforementioned glitches, with both Great Tusk and Iron Treads no longer attempting to award the glitched TM Materials, and Iron Treads with random Tera Types are no longer prevented from being Shiny.

======June 21 to July 2, 2023 Poké Portal News 0 Tera Shards glitch======
[[File:Gimmighoul Glitched Item Rewards.jpg|thumb|250px|The item rewards screen of one of the glitched Gimmighoul raids in Pokémon Scarlet, attempting to display "0 [[Tera Shard]]s" as item rewards due to an null item reward pool.]]
{{main|Poké Portal News#June 21 to July 2, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → June 21 to July 2, 2023}}
After June 21, 2023's [[Nintendo Direct]] aired, the 25th Tera Raid Battle event featuring [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Gimmighoul|Chest Form]] {{p|Gimmighoul}} was announced. Gimmighoul with various Tera Types appeared in 1-5 Tera Raid Battles from June 21 (15:00 UTC) to July 2 (23:59 UTC), 2023.<ref>https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/ja/page/100.html</ref>

Initially, from 15:00 UTC to approximately 17:30 UTC, there was a glitch in the event data for [[Pokémon Scarlet]]. Players with Scarlet who completed the event raids were shown reward screens showing multiple instances of "<type> [[Tera Shard]] ×0" as a reward, (due to a null item reward pool), and were prevented from joining the raids of [[Pokémon Violet]] players, who were unaffected by the bug. New event raid data was uploaded the server shortly after, with Scarlet players who connected online after 17:30 UTC receiving raids with correct reward pools, and being able to join raids hosted by players with Violet.<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1671575089018552320</ref>
{{-}}

===== No "getting pumped!" message =====
During Tera Raid Battles, if the player's Pokémon or the Tera Raid Boss uses Focus Energy, the message "<Pokémon> is getting pumped!" will not show.

=====No type effectiveness or critical hit messages=====
If no battle animation plays (usually due to a Pokémon using a single-target attack move targeting their own ally Pokémon), messages for type effectiveness or [[critical hit]]s will not show if it otherwise would.

=====Permanent cheer preservation on fainting=====
During [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, if a player faints while the effects of a temporary stat boost from a cheer are active, then the stat boosts will be preserved and permanently applied for the rest of the raid after respawning. This permanent effect does not show as a visible buff in the Battle Info menu unlike the normal cheer effects. This effect can be stacked by using another cheer afterwards to increase the current cheer boost by ×0.5 (with no set maximum like stat stages), and fainting again will preserve the increased stats, while the cheer naturally wearing off after 3 turns will just reset stats back to the state before the cheer was used.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1772885083696791811</ref>
{{YouTubeEmbed|uC1dH8APhLc|slime_man|Violet|Violet}}

=====Swapping Pokémon in multiplayer raids=====
During multiplayer [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, occasionally you may be incorrectly using another player's Pokémon with their exact stats and moves, but it will not be replaced permanently after the battle ends.<ref>https://twitter.com/Flametix/status/1732939246493999263</ref> The model will visually remain the same as the original Pokémon until it faints and respawns.

===== Tarountula static encounter glitch =====
On the Switch 2, if the player attempts to battle the {{p|Tarountula}} hanging from a tree in [[Cabo Poco]] (such as tossing a Pokémon at it), the battle will sometimes not be triggered.

=====Tera Raid Battle Zacian glitch=====
During [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, if a teammate uses a {{p|Zacian}} holding a [[Rusted Sword]], the Zacian may appear in its Hero of Many Battles form on the field while its health bar icon is its Crowned Sword form. This can result in a Hero of Many Battles Zacian appearing to use {{m|Behemoth Blade}}, as it is actually a Crowned Sword Zacian.
{{-}}

=====Terapagos battle oversight=====
During the battle against {{p|Terapagos}} in its Stellar Form, if it is confused by a move such as {{m|Dynamic Punch}} and then breaks its own barrier due to confusion damage, the player can then knock out Terapagos early by dealing enough damage. If this happens, the game will put the battle in an unwinnable state, as the battle script has Terapagos create another barrier, but as its HP was effectively depleted, it is no longer recognized as an active participant of the battle.

{{YouTubeEmbed|3lFXoaPwe_g|NiceAsMike|Stellar|Stellar}}

=====Trick Room Female Indeedee=====
{{main|Game move errors#Unobtainable moves 2|Game move errors → Unobtainable at the game's release → Unobtainable moves}}
[[File:Female Indeedee Trick Room SV.png|thumb|Female Indeedee using {{m|Trick Room}} during a [[Tera Raid Battle]]]]
[[File:Female Indeedee Trick Room Summary.png|thumb|The [[summary]] page showing the error move {{m|Trick Room}} after capture]]
In 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, female Indeedee has an identical moveset to its male counterpart, which erroneously included the move Trick Room, a move it could not normally learn. When caught, female Indeedee with Trick Room were permitted to be [[trade]]d online, and participate in the [[Battle Stadium]].

Additionally, while Female Indeedee 5★ raids were initially impossible to host online to other players (displaying an error message when attempting to join them), as of early December 2022 they began permitting other players to host them freely with Trick Room still present in the moveset, despite it still being an error move at the time.

This is currently the only instance of an error move obtainable by the player where the error was corrected by the developers simply allowing it, and eventually integrating it as a feature. As of v2.0.1 of Scarlet and Violet, instead of correcting the erroneous move, [[Game Freak]] instead patched the game to add Trick Room to Female Indeedee's [[TM]] learnset, effectively rendering it no longer an "error move". However, if the move is forgotten, it can not be relearned without using a TM.

{{YouTubeEmbed|YM6ugvHGH3E|@Atrius97|Violet|Violet}}

=====Trick Room oversight=====
If a Pokémon has an effective speed greater than 1809, it will ignore the effects of {{m|Trick Room}}, and act before slower Pokémon. This glitch also exists in [[Generation V]], [[Generation VI|VI]]. [[Generation VII|VII]] and [[Generation VIII|VIII]].{{-}}

=====Turn 255+ move glitches=====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Mechanics explanation, see [https://fixupx.com/DaWoblefet/status/1860503393250213945 this tweet], [https://fixupx.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1861272667514397019 this tweet], and [https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/scarlet-violet-battle-mechanics-research.3709545/page-55#post-10352797 this Smogon mechanics writeup/mechanics discussion] for details.}}
If the Pokémon uses {{m|Future Sight}} or {{m|Doom Desire}} on the 254th turn or {{m|Wish}} on the 255th turn of battle, the move effects will never occur in battle due to an integer overflow in the turn number check (using a single byte). Using those moves again will always cause them to fail. In addition, turns will stop counting past 9999 (truncated to 15 as an 8-bit integer), resulting in the same aforementioned effects.

====Miscellaneous====
=====Door collision glitches=====
Some buildings have doors that lack collision, allowing the player to step through them into a small square space on the other side. One such door can be found in [[Porto Marinada]] near the eastern entrance to the market.

{{GlitchResearch|Check and verify if the Memory Leak glitch has been patched or if it still happens in the year 2025. }}

=====Memory leak=====
Due to a {{wp|memory leak}},<ref>https://twitter.com/Linkus7/status/1593700134864490511</ref> the longer the game remains open, the more performance issues occur, eventually leading to {{wp|heap corruption}} errors, potentially causing crashes, savefile corruption, and a wide variety of glitches.

This can be solved partially by exiting the main map via entering [[Mesagoza]], shops and houses with an interior map, gyms, or [[Area Zero]], or closing and reopening the game periodically.

=====Once-in-a-Lifetime Ribbon missing logic=====
Likely due to an oversight, the logic for the Once-in-a-Lifetime [[List of Ribbons in the games#Memorial Ribbons|Ribbon]] to be granted to Pokémon is not present in the game. Despite being unobtainable, the official guidebook mentions it is intended to be obtained from [[Surprise Trade]] at a 1/100 chance to be applied to traded Pokémon.<ref>https://twitter.com/no07011305/status/1603660614060097539</ref>

=====Out-of-bound spawning glitch=====
Pokémon and items will often spawn in places inaccessible to the player, such as behind walls, below the ground, underwater, or inside objects such as trees, rocks, or buildings.

=====Pokémon Egg Shiny Roll bug=====
When {{pkmn|breeding}}, if any [[personality value]] rerolls are applied, (such as the additional Shiny rolls provided via the [[Masuda method]] or [[Shiny Charm]]), the initial roll to generate a personality value is skipped.

This glitch is also present in the [[core series]] [[Generation]] {{gen|VIII}} games.

===== Premature outbreak and Tera Raid crystal reset bug =====
Outbreak and Tera Raid crystal may sometime reset themselves without the system's date changing or the player changing the date themselves.

=====Running speed glitch=====
On handheld mode, if the player connects a second controller (i.e. a Pro Controller) and hold both joysticks on the attached left Joy-con and second controller diagonally in the same direction, they will run at even faster speed than usual.

=====Town Map glitch=====
After the [[credits]] roll, the {{player}} will be transported to their dorm room in the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, but the player's location on the Town Map will still be marked as the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] until they leave the academy building.

====Texture/model glitches====
=====Clone glitch=====
{{GlitchResearch|Does this happen on all Titans or only the Open Sky Titan?}}
After defeating a [[Titan Pokémon|Titan]], if the Pokémon that defeated it evolves, it will display two of the Pokémon's model.

=====Espathra hair texture glitch=====
[[File:Espathra Camera Hair Texture Glitch.png|thumb|{{p|Espathra}} and its {{Shiny}} variant, displaying the incorrect hair coloration]]
When the camera is far from {{p|Espathra}}, its hair, which is normally white, is shown as the same color as its wings.
{{-}}

=====Glaseado Gym Test texture quirk=====
[[File:Glaseado Gym Test Texture Errors Koraidon Miraidon.png|thumb|{{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} during the [[Glaseado]] Gym Test, with glitched textures]]
During the [[Glaseado Mountain|Glaseado]] Gym Test, {{p|Koraidon}} may appear with its body textures heavily desaturated and {{p|Miraidon}} may appear with a white texture across most of its body, apparently missing its typical body textures. This is opposed to a subtle "snow-dusted" texture overlaid on top of their respective correct colorations, which is the intended appearance.
{{-}}

=====Overworld disguise glitch=====
Certain Pokémon such as {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Ditto}} spawn in the overworld disguised as another species. Due to nearby spawns being retained after saving and reloading the game, nearby instances of disguised Pokémon will still be present if the player saves near one, then closes, and reopens the game.

However, when reloading the game, the Pokémon will lose its disguise and appear as the correct species. If encountered in battle, it appears to "transform" into itself, playing the typical animation for losing its disguise, but not changing models.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1593272765183827970</ref>

=====Porto Marinada Market reappearing seller glitch=====
When the player imports certain Pokémon from [[Pokémon HOME]], a seller will appear in [[Porto Marinada Market]] to auction off the relevant items for changing the forms of those Pokémon, such as the [[Reveal Glass]] and [[Prison Bottle]]. The seller will disappear upon the conclusion of the final auction once there are no more items to be sold. However, if the player stands in front of the now-empty stall and triggers a form change that takes place in the overworld, such as using the [[Griseous Core]] on {{p|Giratina}}, the seller will reappear during the form change animation and will have no dialogue if she is spoken to.
{{-}}

=====Texture overlay glitch=====
In some cases, Pokémon will appear with another texture overlaid across their body.<ref>https://twitter.com/hotathino_/status/1598714830709739520</ref>

====User interface glitches====
=====Alcremie form glitch=====
When an {{p|Alcremie}} is in a [[Double Battle]], its icon on the target selection menu will depict Vanilla Cream Alcremie with a [[Strawberry Sweet]] regardless of what form is actually in the battle. This can be easily seen in battles with [[Lacey]], where her Ruby Swirl Alcremie with a [[Berry Sweet]] triggers the glitch.

=====Health bar quirks=====
During [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, the health bar of the boss appears inconsistent between participants, and may display an incorrect amount of damage taken, or appear to regain health after being reduced to 0 HP. The last issue commonly occurred when using certain moves such as Play Rough visually displaying more damage than what was actually taken prior to 1.2.0, and the game trying to correct to the real HP value afterwards would make it appear as the boss recovered HP.

A similar issue can happen during the [[Titan Pokémon]] battles involving [[Arven]], where if the Titan attacks his Pokémon and the player's Pokémon will hit it as well, but move after the Titan, the HP bar will update to values in the wrong order.

{{YouTubeEmbed|UBmFCPQPgoM|SmallAnt_Clips|HP|HP}}

=====Kofu's Wallet sprite glitch=====
When the player receives [[Kofu's Wallet]] in [[Cascarrafa]], the description window may briefly appear on the screen with the sprite of a Water-type [[TM]] instead of the correct sprite, before the window reappears with the correct sprite.

=====Mass outbreak form display glitch=====
If a Pokémon has multiple forms that can be found in the wild, the map may display an incorrect form icon when this species appears in a mass outbreak. For example, a Stretchy Form {{p|Tatsugiri}} icon may display for a mass outbreak of Curly Form Tatsugiri.

=====Minimap out-of-bounds icons glitch=====
After the game has been open for an extended period of time, the minimap will stop clearing Pokémon icons from the map, causing them to appear out-of-bounds of the minimap rather than vanishing when the player is out of range.

=====Negative number revival timer glitch=====
When going to the HOME menu during a raid while the revival timer is active and the raid continues in the background, and returning after the Pokémon has been revived, the revival timer may stay visible and count down into negative numbers. When it reaches -100, it will appear as -?0, with a ? in the tens digit.
{{YouTubeEmbed|wkHRZFig2bg|Flametix|Violet|Violet}}

=====Slow 300 HP bar animation glitch=====
When taking damage or healing to a result of exactly 300 HP, the HP bar will animate slower than normal.
{{YouTubeEmbed|R63wjTrDGAA|Flametix|Violet|Violet}}

=====Tera Blast type effectiveness glitch=====
If a Pokémon is Terastallized during a battle, other Pokémon on the player's team who know {{m|Tera Blast}} may have Tera Blast's type or effectiveness display in menus as if they were the Pokémon that was Terastallized, based on their own Tera Type.

=====TM list glitch=====
When teaching a Pokémon a move using the "Use TMs to learn moves" option on the status screen, if the last TM on the list is used, the cursor will highlight a blank space on the list after teaching the move. This is due to the used TM disappearing from the list, but the cursor not adjusting to highlight the TM above it despite it becoming the last one in the list.

=====Typeless summary glitch=====
When viewing the summary screen of a Pokémon that is currently typeless, the game will crash.<ref>https://twitter.com/zakocky/status/1612373830718337027</ref>

===Prior to v3.0.1===
====Dragon Cheer glitch====
When a Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Dragon Cheer}} was switched out of battle and then reentered that battle, its attacks would still have a heightened chance of landing critical hits. This glitch was fixed in v3.0.1.

====Input lock glitch====
When levelling up {{p|Inkay}} using candy while it is under Level 30, the game would stop receiving inputs from the controllers. This glitch was fixed in v.3.0.1.

====Item Printer glitch====
After players installed the [[Item Printer]] in the [[League Club Room]], under certain circumstances, they could get stuck between the Item Printer and the wall. This glitch was fixed in v.3.0.1.

====Smeargle cloning glitch====
If the player lures a {{p|Smeargle}} very close to a tree in the [[Terarium]], has the wild Smeargle use {{m|Sketch}} to Sketch the move {{m|Transform}}, then has the wild Smeargle use Transform, if the player then runs away from the battle, the Smeargle will become a clone of the Pokémon it transformed into, and the player can then re-encounter the clone in a battle to capture it. The clone will disappear from the overworld if the game is saved and restarted if it is not caught.

Much like the curry cloning glitch, most aspects of the original Pokémon will stay the same (including its held item and any Ribbons or marks), but information about where and how it was caught and its [[Original Trainer]] are overwritten. Furthermore, by having the wild Smeargle transform into certain battle-only forms, such as Terastal Form {{p|Terapagos}} or Hero Form {{p|Palafin}}, the clone will be able to sustain these forms outside of battle where they otherwise wouldn't be, until the clone is deposited in a Box or the game is restarted.

Stellar Form Terapagos and {{p|Ogerpon}} in its Terastallized state cannot be cloned, as Transform fails against those targets. However, the player can still Terastallize clones of Ogerpon and Terapagos to use these forms.

Using this glitch, it's possible to clone Pokémon obtained through the NPC trades in the [[League Club Room|BB League Club Room]], and since OT and ID data is overwritten upon capturing a clone, but Ribbons and marks are copied, the Partner Ribbon is able to be obtained on a Pokémon the game considers to be the player's, allowing any OT to be a Pokémon's title.

The [[Pokémon HOME]] tracker value will also be copied if the original Pokémon had one, preventing such clones from being deposited in HOME.

This glitch was fixed in v.3.0.1, by making the move Transform fail if used by wild Smeargle in this scenario.

====TM223 required material glitch====
In Pokémon Scarlet, one of the TM materials needed to craft [[TM223]] was Shieldon Claws, despite {{p|Shieldon}} and {{p|Bastiodon}} being exclusive to Pokémon Violet, making it impossible to craft this TM in this game. This glitch was fixed in v3.0.1, and to compensate, [[List of other event distributions in Generation IX#Compensatory TM223s (Metal Sound)|ten TM223s were distributed]] as a [[Mystery Gift]] from December 26, 2023 until the release of v3.0.1 on February 1, 2024.

===Prior to v3.0.0===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Check patch notes and retest existing bugs, move/add any bugs that were resolved between v1.3.0 and v1.3.1}}

===Prior to v2.0.2===
=====Paradise Protection Protocol battle glitch=====
During the battle against the Paradise Protection Protocol's Koraidon/Miraidon, if the player has these Pokémon registered to the Paldea Pokédex, the game will crash when hovering over slot 4, 5 or 6 when viewing their party. This was fixed in v2.0.2.

===Prior to v2.0.1===
=====Itemfinder Mark missing logic=====
Likely due to an oversight, the logic for the Itemfinder [[Mark]] to be granted to Pokémon was not present in the game<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230308220915/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1598840477758803968</ref>. Despite it being unobtainable prior to v2.0.1., [[Hassel]] erroneously mentions it as being obtainable during one of his Art classes at the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}.

In v2.0.1, the Itemfinder Mark can be awarded as intended.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1701837119444885945</ref>

=====Tera Raid missing players glitch =====
During multi-player Tera Raid Battles, other players that join may not appear to the host player, instead showing an empty player slot, despite having all available player slots filled. This was fixed in v2.0.1.

===Prior to v1.3.1===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Check patch notes and retest existing bugs, move/add any bugs that were resolved between v1.3.0 and v1.3.1}}

===Prior to v1.3.0===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Check [https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60277/~/how-to-update-pok%C3%A9mon-scarlet-and-pok%C3%A9mon-violet#v130 patch notes] and retest existing bugs, move/add any bugs that were resolved between v1.2.0 and v1.3.0}}

===Prior to v1.2.0===
====Destiny Bond Terastallization glitch====
If a Pokémon uses {{m|Destiny Bond}} and {{Tera}}stallizes on the next turn, Destiny Bond won't cause the attacker to faint. This is a bug and was fixed in the Version 1.2.0 update.

====February 27 to March 12, 2023 Poké Portal News Bad Egg====
[[File:PPN13 Bad Egg.jpg|thumb|250x250px|Bad Egg as a result of catching a Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in v1.1.0 of Scarlet or Violet]]
{{main|Poké Portal News#February 27 to March 12, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → February 27 to March 12, 2023}}
The Poké Portal News event on February 27 to March 12, 2023 introduced {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} in 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. However, it was possible to update the Poké Portal News event data while still remaining on Scarlet or Violet v1.1.0, causing incorrect event data to be generated.

If the player attempted to join a 5★ event raid after going online in v1.1.0 during this period, these raids would result in a [[Bad Egg]] instead, due to the lack of species data existing in v1.1.0. These Bad Eggs cannot be hatched, released, or traded, and also set the flag for having caught Walking Wake or Iron Leaves, causing the player to be unable to attempt to catch another. Updating the game to v1.2.0 does not result in the Bad Egg becoming the correct species.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1630378458034626564</ref>

{{YouTubeEmbed|7gtymg7VudU|@Atrius97|Violet|Violet}}

This glitch was partially fixed in Scarlet and Violet v1.3.0, which released April 20, 2023, with v1.3.0 detecting any Bad Eggs present in the savefile and resetting the respective capture flag(s) if a player had obtained a Bad Egg, Additionally, a repeat of the event was scheduled for [[Poké Portal News#May 1 to 14, 2023|May 1 to 14, 2023]] as a direct response <ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1648612433962110976</ref> to the issue, allowing affected players another chance to capture a Walking Wake and/or Iron Leaves.

v1.3.0 also made a change to how Poké Portal News event data was stored, now storing it under version specific blocks in the savefile, preventing event data from a newer game version from being accessed by the player on an outdated game version, hypothetically preventing the original glitch from occurring again in the future.

Despite the v1.3.0 patch notes<ref>https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60277/~/how-to-update-pok%C3%A9mon-scarlet-and-pok%C3%A9mon-violet#v130</ref> claiming to fully resolve the issue, while the patch does properly detect the presence of Bad Eggs, any Bad Eggs obtained during the aforementioned glitched raid event continue to persist in the player's storage after updating to v1.3.0, without any method of removing them, as they still cannot be traded, released, or hatched.

====Order Up glitch====
If a {{p|Dondozo}} with a {{p|Tatsugiri}} in its mouth uses the move {{m|Order Up}}, the move will increase one of Dondozo's stats even if the move is negated (e.g. via {{m|Protect}}). This is a bug and was fixed in the version 1.2.0 update.

====Persistent model glitch====
After the game has been open for an extended period of time, the last previously loaded model will remain loaded during cutscenes or interior locations, often appearing as a {{i|Poké Ball}} or Pokémon placed arbitrarily in the middle of a room, or near the entrance of an interior location.

This was partially resolved in v1.2.0, apparently fixing the appearance of glitched Poké Ball models, however some Pokémon models still appear to persist in areas such as [[Tera Raid Battle]]s and inside buildings.

====Ribbon/Mark menu glitch ====
In the [[Party]] and [[Box]] menus, the [[Ribbon]]s and [[Mark]]s earned by a Pokémon are not displayed properly, and can only be viewed and equipped when the [[summary]] menu is accessed from the party.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20221230122840/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1598529777710895107</ref>

====TM014 Thumbnail oversight====
The Thumbnail preview for [[TM014]] ({{m|Acrobatics}}) mistakenly had remnants of a developer debugging menu. This was corrected in v.1.2.0.

====Uncatchable Transformed Ditto glitch====
Prior to v1.2.0, if a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Ditto}} used {{m|Transform}} to transform into the alternate [[form]] of any species, (specifically a form with an index value other than "0"), it would cause the [[catch rate]] of the Ditto to become 0, making it impossible to catch with any [[Poké Ball]] except the [[Heavy Ball]] or [[Master Ball]]. This was fixed in v1.2.0, always using Ditto's correct catch rate of 35, regardless of what species/form it is currently transformed into.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1632216388734537729</ref>

===Prior to v1.1.0===
====Elite Four music glitch====
During the [[Elite Four]] battles, the brief intro of the background music played on a persistent loop throughout rather than playing the entire music.<ref>https://youtu.be/DDTQ70QLgbc</ref> This was fixed in v1.1.0.

====Online battle RNG glitch====
During online matches, the same [[Pseudorandom number generation|RNG]] seed was used for every battle, causing many "random" actions to be completely predictable, such as the [[accuracy]] checks for whether OHKO moves like {{m|Sheer Cold}} would be successful during a turn.<ref>https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1596768465095983104</ref><ref>https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1598513391601164288</ref>

====Sleep status visual glitch====
When a Pokémon is afflicted by the {{status|sleep}} status condition, its eyes would remain open. This was fixed in v1.1.0.

===Prior to v1.0.1 ===
====Multiplayer Tera Raid Shiny sparkle glitch====
During a multiplayer Tera Raid Battle, if another player sends out a Shiny Pokémon, the sparkling animation will only be displayed on the player's own Pokémon. This was fixed in v1.0.1.

====Sylveon type flag oversight ====
Due to an oversight, {{p|Sylveon}} has the same flag as {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Silvally}}, which prevents its type from being changed. This was fixed in v1.0.1.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230519095250/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1614308613505392640?s=20</ref>

List of glitches in Generation IX

2025-10-18T22:47:25Z

Angrytheeevee:

{{Outdated|needs=Pokemon Legends Z-A is absent.}}

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation IX]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]].

==Scarlet and Violet==
===All versions===
====Battle glitches====
=====Ally Switch Terapagos visual glitch=====
In a [[double battle]], if {{p|Terapagos}} is switched in on the same turn as its ally uses {{m|Ally Switch}} {{a|Tera Shift}} will appear to turn Terapagos into its ally rather than its Terastal Form. This effect is only visual and Terapagos will still have the moves and stats of its Terastal form. If the transformed Terapagos [[Terastal phenomenon|terastalizes]], it will display the Tera Jewel corresponding to the Tera type of the Pokémon it transformed into rather than the {{t|Stellar}} Tera Jewel. If it uses {{m|Tera Starstorm}} while in this state and the displayed Tera Jewel is not Stellar, the move will animate like a single target move and appear to only to do damage to one target in the animation, however both foes will take damage. If the Terapagos is transformed into a Pokémon with the Stellar tera type and uses {{m|Tera Starstorm}} while terastilized it will animate as double target move as usual, but if it hits a Pokémon that is using a {{cat|Protection moves|protection move}} there is a chance it will erroneously say a [[Critical Hit]] was landed despite the protection move successfully activating.<ref>https://x.com/TesloboVGC/status/1886574170517217735</ref><ref>https://x.com/TesloboVGC/status/1886574399861514327</ref>

=====Interrupted cheer deduction glitch=====
During a [[Tera Raid Battle]], if a cheer is confirmed at the same time as an extra action from a boss is triggered and interrupts the cheer from executing, the number of usable cheers may still be deducted despite the cheer not actually being used.

{{YouTubeEmbed|e2r6USb-3PE|Flametix|Violet|Violet}}

=====Missing TM Materials item IDs=====
There are 23 stubbed items in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} that map to [[TM Material]]s for {{p|Sprigatito}}, {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, {{p|Koraidon}}, {{p|Miraidon}}, the [[treasures of ruin]], and [[Paradox Pokémon]] found in the [[Paldea Pokédex]], [[List of items by index number in Generation IX|item ID]]s 2100-2102 (Sprigatito through Quaxly), 2124-2125 (Koraidon and Miraidon), 2138-2151 (Paradox Pokémon, excluding Walking Wake and Iron Leaves), and 2152-2155 (treasures of ruin).<ref>https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/5002-pok%C3%A9-portal-event-23-great-tusk-and-iron-treads-spotlight-chesnaught-the-unrivaled/?do=findComment&comment=4319</ref>

If the game attempts to grant these items to the player, such as via the rewards following the completion of a [[Tera Raid Battle]], the game will crash.

{{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} event raids did attempt to grant bonus drops of TM Materials, however they were unaffected by this glitch due to not having an associated TM Material item ID. 7★ Raid Battles for species not found in Paldea, (such as {{p|Charizard}}), were also unaffected, as they did not have TM Materials in the item pool.

The first instance of this glitch occurred May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023 with the introduction of {{p|Great Tusk}} and {{p|Iron Treads}} event raids.

======May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023 Poké Portal News event glitches======
[[File:Great Tusk and Iron Treads Glitched TM Material.jpg|thumb|250px|The item rewards screen of one of the glitched Great Tusk and Iron Treads raids, attempting to display a non-existent [[TM Material]] prior to the game crashing.]]
[[File:Cancelled 7 Star Delphox Announcement.jpg|thumb|250px|An announcement for a 7★ {{p|Delphox}} event intended to run from May 25 to 28, 2023 that briefly appeared in the [[Pokémon HOME]] calendar on May 21, before being removed from the event calendar.]]
{{main|Poké Portal News#May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023}}
{{main|Poké Portal News#June 16 to 19, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → June 16 to 19, 2023}}
This event was originally intended to run between May 19, 00:00 UTC to May 21, 23:59 UTC, 2023, but included two notable glitches during its initial introduction on May 19, 2023:
* The item rewards attempted to grant and display [[TM Material]]s for Great Tusk and Iron Treads, despite both species not having associated TM Material items. This caused the item rewards screen for some players to display "None" as one of the item rewards, followed by the game crashing.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1659386207162204161 Video clip of glitched TM Materials and game crash for Great Tusk Raid by @Sibuna_Switch, via Twitter]</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1659353658163621893</ref>
* All Iron Treads raids with random Tera types were erroneously coded never to appear as {{Shiny}},<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1659352905692971010</ref> despite both versions of Great Tusk, and the Iron Treads with the forced {{t|Ground}} Tera type being able to appear as Shiny at the standard 1:4103.05 odds.
At approximately 02:00 UTC on May 19, 2023,<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1659380996343578624</ref> all event raids were removed from the server, (including the 7★ Chesnaught the Unrivaled event), replaced with completely blank event data for any players that connected during this time. The official Japanese twitter account issued an apology,<ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1659389212679098368</ref> but the event was eventually announced as being cancelled entirely.<ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1659516228363489281</ref> This is the first instance of a Poké Portal News event being removed from the server entirely to address a glitch.

Additionally, an announcement for a 7★ {{p|Delphox}} event running from May 26, 2023 00:00 UTC to May 28, 2023 23:59 UTC briefly appeared in the [[Pokémon HOME]] calendar on May 21, but was removed almost immediately, likely due to the cancellation of the prior event causing scheduling conflicts.

The June 16 to 19, 2023 rescheduled event resolved both aforementioned glitches, with both Great Tusk and Iron Treads no longer attempting to award the glitched TM Materials, and Iron Treads with random Tera Types are no longer prevented from being Shiny.
{{-}}

======June 21 to July 2, 2023 Poké Portal News 0 Tera Shards glitch======
[[File:Gimmighoul Glitched Item Rewards.jpg|thumb|250px|The item rewards screen of one of the glitched Gimmighoul raids in Pokémon Scarlet, attempting to display "0 [[Tera Shard]]s" as item rewards due to an null item reward pool.]]
{{main|Poké Portal News#June 21 to July 2, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → June 21 to July 2, 2023}}
After June 21, 2023's [[Nintendo Direct]] aired, the 25th Tera Raid Battle event featuring [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Gimmighoul|Chest Form]] {{p|Gimmighoul}} was announced. Gimmighoul with various Tera Types appeared in 1-5 Tera Raid Battles from June 21 (15:00 UTC) to July 2 (23:59 UTC), 2023.<ref>https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/ja/page/100.html</ref>

Initially, from 15:00 UTC to approximately 17:30 UTC, there was a glitch in the event data for [[Pokémon Scarlet]]. Players with Scarlet who completed the event raids were shown reward screens showing multiple instances of "<type> [[Tera Shard]] ×0" as a reward, (due to a null item reward pool), and were prevented from joining the raids of [[Pokémon Violet]] players, who were unaffected by the bug. New event raid data was uploaded the server shortly after, with Scarlet players who connected online after 17:30 UTC receiving raids with correct reward pools, and being able to join raids hosted by players with Violet.<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1671575089018552320</ref>
{{-}}

===== No "getting pumped!" message =====
During Tera Raid Battles, if the player's Pokémon or the Tera Raid Boss uses Focus Energy, the message "<Pokémon> is getting pumped!" will not show.

=====No type effectiveness or critical hit messages=====
If no battle animation plays (usually due to a Pokémon using a single-target attack move targeting their own ally Pokémon), messages for type effectiveness or [[critical hit]]s will not show if it otherwise would.

=====Permanent cheer preservation on fainting=====
During [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, if a player faints while the effects of a temporary stat boost from a cheer are active, then the stat boosts will be preserved and permanently applied for the rest of the raid after respawning. This permanent effect does not show as a visible buff in the Battle Info menu unlike the normal cheer effects. This effect can be stacked by using another cheer afterwards to increase the current cheer boost by ×0.5 (with no set maximum like stat stages), and fainting again will preserve the increased stats, while the cheer naturally wearing off after 3 turns will just reset stats back to the state before the cheer was used.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1772885083696791811</ref>
{{YouTubeEmbed|uC1dH8APhLc|slime_man|Violet|Violet}}

=====Swapping Pokémon in multiplayer raids=====
During multiplayer [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, occasionally you may be incorrectly using another player's Pokémon with their exact stats and moves, but it will not be replaced permanently after the battle ends.<ref>https://twitter.com/Flametix/status/1732939246493999263</ref> The model will visually remain the same as the original Pokémon until it faints and respawns.

===== Tarountula static encounter glitch =====
On the Switch 2, if the player attempts to battle the {{p|Tarountula}} hanging from a tree in [[Cabo Poco]] (such as tossing a Pokémon at it), the battle will sometimes not be triggered.

=====Tera Raid Battle Zacian glitch=====
During [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, if a teammate uses a {{p|Zacian}} holding a [[Rusted Sword]], the Zacian may appear in its Hero of Many Battles form on the field while its health bar icon is its Crowned Sword form. This can result in a Hero of Many Battles Zacian appearing to use {{m|Behemoth Blade}}, as it is actually a Crowned Sword Zacian.
{{-}}

=====Terapagos battle oversight=====
During the battle against {{p|Terapagos}} in its Stellar Form, if it is confused by a move such as {{m|Dynamic Punch}} and then breaks its own barrier due to confusion damage, the player can then knock out Terapagos early by dealing enough damage. If this happens, the game will put the battle in an unwinnable state, as the battle script has Terapagos create another barrier, but as its HP was effectively depleted, it is no longer recognized as an active participant of the battle.

{{YouTubeEmbed|3lFXoaPwe_g|NiceAsMike|Stellar|Stellar}}

=====Trick Room Female Indeedee=====
{{main|Game move errors#Unobtainable moves 2|Game move errors → Unobtainable at the game's release → Unobtainable moves}}
[[File:Female Indeedee Trick Room SV.png|thumb|Female Indeedee using {{m|Trick Room}} during a [[Tera Raid Battle]]]]
[[File:Female Indeedee Trick Room Summary.png|thumb|The [[summary]] page showing the error move {{m|Trick Room}} after capture]]
In 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, female Indeedee has an identical moveset to its male counterpart, which erroneously included the move Trick Room, a move it could not normally learn. When caught, female Indeedee with Trick Room were permitted to be [[trade]]d online, and participate in the [[Battle Stadium]].

Additionally, while Female Indeedee 5★ raids were initially impossible to host online to other players (displaying an error message when attempting to join them), as of early December 2022 they began permitting other players to host them freely with Trick Room still present in the moveset, despite it still being an error move at the time.

This is currently the only instance of an error move obtainable by the player where the error was corrected by the developers simply allowing it, and eventually integrating it as a feature. As of v2.0.1 of Scarlet and Violet, instead of correcting the erroneous move, [[Game Freak]] instead patched the game to add Trick Room to Female Indeedee's [[TM]] learnset, effectively rendering it no longer an "error move". However, if the move is forgotten, it can not be relearned without using a TM.

{{YouTubeEmbed|YM6ugvHGH3E|@Atrius97|Violet|Violet}}

=====Trick Room oversight=====
If a Pokémon has an effective speed greater than 1809, it will ignore the effects of {{m|Trick Room}}, and act before slower Pokémon. This glitch also exists in [[Generation V]], [[Generation VI|VI]]. [[Generation VII|VII]] and [[Generation VIII|VIII]].{{-}}

=====Turn 255+ move glitches=====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Mechanics explanation, see [https://fixupx.com/DaWoblefet/status/1860503393250213945 this tweet], [https://fixupx.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1861272667514397019 this tweet], and [https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/scarlet-violet-battle-mechanics-research.3709545/page-55#post-10352797 this Smogon mechanics writeup/mechanics discussion] for details.}}
If the Pokémon uses {{m|Future Sight}} or {{m|Doom Desire}} on the 254th turn or {{m|Wish}} on the 255th turn of battle, the move effects will never occur in battle due to an integer overflow in the turn number check (using a single byte). Using those moves again will always cause them to fail. In addition, turns will stop counting past 9999 (truncated to 15 as an 8-bit integer), resulting in the same aforementioned effects.

====Miscellaneous====
=====Door collision glitches=====
Some buildings have doors that lack collision, allowing the player to step through them into a small square space on the other side. One such door can be found in [[Porto Marinada]] near the eastern entrance to the market.

{{GlitchResearch|Check and verify if the Memory Leak glitch has been patched.}}

=====Memory leak=====
Due to a {{wp|memory leak}},<ref>https://twitter.com/Linkus7/status/1593700134864490511</ref> the longer the game remains open, the more performance issues occur, eventually leading to {{wp|heap corruption}} errors, potentially causing crashes, savefile corruption, and a wide variety of glitches.

This can be solved partially by exiting the main map via entering [[Mesagoza]], shops and houses with an interior map, gyms, or [[Area Zero]], or closing and reopening the game periodically.

=====Once-in-a-Lifetime Ribbon missing logic=====
Likely due to an oversight, the logic for the Once-in-a-Lifetime [[List of Ribbons in the games#Memorial Ribbons|Ribbon]] to be granted to Pokémon is not present in the game. Despite being unobtainable, the official guidebook mentions it is intended to be obtained from [[Surprise Trade]] at a 1/100 chance to be applied to traded Pokémon.<ref>https://twitter.com/no07011305/status/1603660614060097539</ref>

=====Out-of-bound spawning glitch=====
Pokémon and items will often spawn in places inaccessible to the player, such as behind walls, below the ground, underwater, or inside objects such as trees, rocks, or buildings.

=====Pokémon Egg Shiny Roll bug=====
When {{pkmn|breeding}}, if any [[personality value]] rerolls are applied, (such as the additional Shiny rolls provided via the [[Masuda method]] or [[Shiny Charm]]), the initial roll to generate a personality value is skipped.

This glitch is also present in the [[core series]] [[Generation]] {{gen|VIII}} games.

===== Premature outbreak and Tera Raid crystal reset bug =====
Outbreak and Tera Raid crystal may sometime reset themselves without the system's date changing or the player changing the date themselves.

=====Running speed glitch=====
On handheld mode, if the player connects a second controller (i.e. a Pro Controller) and hold both joysticks on the attached left Joy-con and second controller diagonally in the same direction, they will run at even faster speed than usual.

=====Town Map glitch=====
After the [[credits]] roll, the {{player}} will be transported to their dorm room in the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, but the player's location on the Town Map will still be marked as the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] until they leave the academy building.

====Texture/model glitches====
=====Clone glitch=====
{{GlitchResearch|Does this happen on all Titans or only the Open Sky Titan?}}
After defeating a [[Titan Pokémon|Titan]], if the Pokémon that defeated it evolves, it will display two of the Pokémon's model.

=====Espathra hair texture glitch=====
[[File:Espathra Camera Hair Texture Glitch.png|thumb|{{p|Espathra}} and its {{Shiny}} variant, displaying the incorrect hair coloration]]
When the camera is far from {{p|Espathra}}, its hair, which is normally white, is shown as the same color as its wings.
{{-}}

=====Glaseado Gym Test texture quirk=====
[[File:Glaseado Gym Test Texture Errors Koraidon Miraidon.png|thumb|{{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} during the [[Glaseado]] Gym Test, with glitched textures]]
During the [[Glaseado Mountain|Glaseado]] Gym Test, {{p|Koraidon}} may appear with its body textures heavily desaturated and {{p|Miraidon}} may appear with a white texture across most of its body, apparently missing its typical body textures. This is opposed to a subtle "snow-dusted" texture overlaid on top of their respective correct colorations, which is the intended appearance.
{{-}}

=====Overworld disguise glitch=====
Certain Pokémon such as {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Ditto}} spawn in the overworld disguised as another species. Due to nearby spawns being retained after saving and reloading the game, nearby instances of disguised Pokémon will still be present if the player saves near one, then closes, and reopens the game.

However, when reloading the game, the Pokémon will lose its disguise and appear as the correct species. If encountered in battle, it appears to "transform" into itself, playing the typical animation for losing its disguise, but not changing models.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1593272765183827970</ref>

=====Porto Marinada Market reappearing seller glitch=====
When the player imports certain Pokémon from [[Pokémon HOME]], a seller will appear in [[Porto Marinada Market]] to auction off the relevant items for changing the forms of those Pokémon, such as the [[Reveal Glass]] and [[Prison Bottle]]. The seller will disappear upon the conclusion of the final auction once there are no more items to be sold. However, if the player stands in front of the now-empty stall and triggers a form change that takes place in the overworld, such as using the [[Griseous Core]] on {{p|Giratina}}, the seller will reappear during the form change animation and will have no dialogue if she is spoken to.
{{-}}

=====Texture overlay glitch=====
In some cases, Pokémon will appear with another texture overlaid across their body.<ref>https://twitter.com/hotathino_/status/1598714830709739520</ref>

====User interface glitches====
=====Alcremie form glitch=====
When an {{p|Alcremie}} is in a [[Double Battle]], its icon on the target selection menu will depict Vanilla Cream Alcremie with a [[Strawberry Sweet]] regardless of what form is actually in the battle. This can be easily seen in battles with [[Lacey]], where her Ruby Swirl Alcremie with a [[Berry Sweet]] triggers the glitch.

=====Health bar quirks=====
During [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, the health bar of the boss appears inconsistent between participants, and may display an incorrect amount of damage taken, or appear to regain health after being reduced to 0 HP. The last issue commonly occurred when using certain moves such as Play Rough visually displaying more damage than what was actually taken prior to 1.2.0, and the game trying to correct to the real HP value afterwards would make it appear as the boss recovered HP.

A similar issue can happen during the [[Titan Pokémon]] battles involving [[Arven]], where if the Titan attacks his Pokémon and the player's Pokémon will hit it as well, but move after the Titan, the HP bar will update to values in the wrong order.

{{YouTubeEmbed|UBmFCPQPgoM|SmallAnt_Clips|HP|HP}}

=====Kofu's Wallet sprite glitch=====
When the player receives [[Kofu's Wallet]] in [[Cascarrafa]], the description window may briefly appear on the screen with the sprite of a Water-type [[TM]] instead of the correct sprite, before the window reappears with the correct sprite.

=====Mass outbreak form display glitch=====
If a Pokémon has multiple forms that can be found in the wild, the map may display an incorrect form icon when this species appears in a mass outbreak. For example, a Stretchy Form {{p|Tatsugiri}} icon may display for a mass outbreak of Curly Form Tatsugiri.

=====Minimap out-of-bounds icons glitch=====
After the game has been open for an extended period of time, the minimap will stop clearing Pokémon icons from the map, causing them to appear out-of-bounds of the minimap rather than vanishing when the player is out of range.

=====Negative number revival timer glitch=====
When going to the HOME menu during a raid while the revival timer is active and the raid continues in the background, and returning after the Pokémon has been revived, the revival timer may stay visible and count down into negative numbers. When it reaches -100, it will appear as -?0, with a ? in the tens digit.
{{YouTubeEmbed|wkHRZFig2bg|Flametix|Violet|Violet}}

=====Slow 300 HP bar animation glitch=====
When taking damage or healing to a result of exactly 300 HP, the HP bar will animate slower than normal.
{{YouTubeEmbed|R63wjTrDGAA|Flametix|Violet|Violet}}

=====Tera Blast type effectiveness glitch=====
If a Pokémon is Terastallized during a battle, other Pokémon on the player's team who know {{m|Tera Blast}} may have Tera Blast's type or effectiveness display in menus as if they were the Pokémon that was Terastallized, based on their own Tera Type.

=====TM list glitch=====
When teaching a Pokémon a move using the "Use TMs to learn moves" option on the status screen, if the last TM on the list is used, the cursor will highlight a blank space on the list after teaching the move. This is due to the used TM disappearing from the list, but the cursor not adjusting to highlight the TM above it despite it becoming the last one in the list.

=====Typeless summary glitch=====
When viewing the summary screen of a Pokémon that is currently typeless, the game will crash.<ref>https://twitter.com/zakocky/status/1612373830718337027</ref>

===Prior to v3.0.1===
====Dragon Cheer glitch====
When a Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Dragon Cheer}} was switched out of battle and then reentered that battle, its attacks would still have a heightened chance of landing critical hits. This glitch was fixed in v3.0.1.

====Input lock glitch====
When levelling up {{p|Inkay}} using candy while it is under Level 30, the game would stop receiving inputs from the controllers. This glitch was fixed in v.3.0.1.

====Item Printer glitch====
After players installed the [[Item Printer]] in the [[League Club Room]], under certain circumstances, they could get stuck between the Item Printer and the wall. This glitch was fixed in v.3.0.1.

====Smeargle cloning glitch====
If the player lures a {{p|Smeargle}} very close to a tree in the [[Terarium]], has the wild Smeargle use {{m|Sketch}} to Sketch the move {{m|Transform}}, then has the wild Smeargle use Transform, if the player then runs away from the battle, the Smeargle will become a clone of the Pokémon it transformed into, and the player can then re-encounter the clone in a battle to capture it. The clone will disappear from the overworld if the game is saved and restarted if it is not caught.

Much like the curry cloning glitch, most aspects of the original Pokémon will stay the same (including its held item and any Ribbons or marks), but information about where and how it was caught and its [[Original Trainer]] are overwritten. Furthermore, by having the wild Smeargle transform into certain battle-only forms, such as Terastal Form {{p|Terapagos}} or Hero Form {{p|Palafin}}, the clone will be able to sustain these forms outside of battle where they otherwise wouldn't be, until the clone is deposited in a Box or the game is restarted.

Stellar Form Terapagos and {{p|Ogerpon}} in its Terastallized state cannot be cloned, as Transform fails against those targets. However, the player can still Terastallize clones of Ogerpon and Terapagos to use these forms.

Using this glitch, it's possible to clone Pokémon obtained through the NPC trades in the [[League Club Room|BB League Club Room]], and since OT and ID data is overwritten upon capturing a clone, but Ribbons and marks are copied, the Partner Ribbon is able to be obtained on a Pokémon the game considers to be the player's, allowing any OT to be a Pokémon's title.

The [[Pokémon HOME]] tracker value will also be copied if the original Pokémon had one, preventing such clones from being deposited in HOME.

This glitch was fixed in v.3.0.1, by making the move Transform fail if used by wild Smeargle in this scenario.

====TM223 required material glitch====
In Pokémon Scarlet, one of the TM materials needed to craft [[TM223]] was Shieldon Claws, despite {{p|Shieldon}} and {{p|Bastiodon}} being exclusive to Pokémon Violet, making it impossible to craft this TM in this game. This glitch was fixed in v3.0.1, and to compensate, [[List of other event distributions in Generation IX#Compensatory TM223s (Metal Sound)|ten TM223s were distributed]] as a [[Mystery Gift]] from December 26, 2023 until the release of v3.0.1 on February 1, 2024.

===Prior to v3.0.0===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Check patch notes and retest existing bugs, move/add any bugs that were resolved between v1.3.0 and v1.3.1}}

===Prior to v2.0.2===
=====Paradise Protection Protocol battle glitch=====
During the battle against the Paradise Protection Protocol's Koraidon/Miraidon, if the player has these Pokémon registered to the Paldea Pokédex, the game will crash when hovering over slot 4, 5 or 6 when viewing their party. This was fixed in v2.0.2.

===Prior to v2.0.1===
=====Itemfinder Mark missing logic=====
Likely due to an oversight, the logic for the Itemfinder [[Mark]] to be granted to Pokémon was not present in the game<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230308220915/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1598840477758803968</ref>. Despite it being unobtainable prior to v2.0.1., [[Hassel]] erroneously mentions it as being obtainable during one of his Art classes at the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}.

In v2.0.1, the Itemfinder Mark can be awarded as intended.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1701837119444885945</ref>

=====Tera Raid missing players glitch =====
During multi-player Tera Raid Battles, other players that join may not appear to the host player, instead showing an empty player slot, despite having all available player slots filled. This was fixed in v2.0.1.

===Prior to v1.3.1===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Check patch notes and retest existing bugs, move/add any bugs that were resolved between v1.3.0 and v1.3.1}}

===Prior to v1.3.0===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Check [https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60277/~/how-to-update-pok%C3%A9mon-scarlet-and-pok%C3%A9mon-violet#v130 patch notes] and retest existing bugs, move/add any bugs that were resolved between v1.2.0 and v1.3.0}}

===Prior to v1.2.0===
====Destiny Bond Terastallization glitch====
If a Pokémon uses {{m|Destiny Bond}} and {{Tera}}stallizes on the next turn, Destiny Bond won't cause the attacker to faint. This is a bug and was fixed in the Version 1.2.0 update.

====February 27 to March 12, 2023 Poké Portal News Bad Egg====
[[File:PPN13 Bad Egg.jpg|thumb|250x250px|Bad Egg as a result of catching a Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in v1.1.0 of Scarlet or Violet]]
{{main|Poké Portal News#February 27 to March 12, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → February 27 to March 12, 2023}}
The Poké Portal News event on February 27 to March 12, 2023 introduced {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} in 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. However, it was possible to update the Poké Portal News event data while still remaining on Scarlet or Violet v1.1.0, causing incorrect event data to be generated.

If the player attempted to join a 5★ event raid after going online in v1.1.0 during this period, these raids would result in a [[Bad Egg]] instead, due to the lack of species data existing in v1.1.0. These Bad Eggs cannot be hatched, released, or traded, and also set the flag for having caught Walking Wake or Iron Leaves, causing the player to be unable to attempt to catch another. Updating the game to v1.2.0 does not result in the Bad Egg becoming the correct species.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1630378458034626564</ref>

{{YouTubeEmbed|7gtymg7VudU|@Atrius97|Violet|Violet}}

This glitch was partially fixed in Scarlet and Violet v1.3.0, which released April 20, 2023, with v1.3.0 detecting any Bad Eggs present in the savefile and resetting the respective capture flag(s) if a player had obtained a Bad Egg, Additionally, a repeat of the event was scheduled for [[Poké Portal News#May 1 to 14, 2023|May 1 to 14, 2023]] as a direct response <ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1648612433962110976</ref> to the issue, allowing affected players another chance to capture a Walking Wake and/or Iron Leaves.

v1.3.0 also made a change to how Poké Portal News event data was stored, now storing it under version specific blocks in the savefile, preventing event data from a newer game version from being accessed by the player on an outdated game version, hypothetically preventing the original glitch from occurring again in the future.

Despite the v1.3.0 patch notes<ref>https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60277/~/how-to-update-pok%C3%A9mon-scarlet-and-pok%C3%A9mon-violet#v130</ref> claiming to fully resolve the issue, while the patch does properly detect the presence of Bad Eggs, any Bad Eggs obtained during the aforementioned glitched raid event continue to persist in the player's storage after updating to v1.3.0, without any method of removing them, as they still cannot be traded, released, or hatched.

{{-}}

====Order Up glitch====
If a {{p|Dondozo}} with a {{p|Tatsugiri}} in its mouth uses the move {{m|Order Up}}, the move will increase one of Dondozo's stats even if the move is negated (e.g. via {{m|Protect}}). This is a bug and was fixed in the version 1.2.0 update.

====Persistent model glitch====
After the game has been open for an extended period of time, the last previously loaded model will remain loaded during cutscenes or interior locations, often appearing as a {{i|Poké Ball}} or Pokémon placed arbitrarily in the middle of a room, or near the entrance of an interior location.

This was partially resolved in v1.2.0, apparently fixing the appearance of glitched Poké Ball models, however some Pokémon models still appear to persist in areas such as [[Tera Raid Battle]]s and inside buildings.

====Ribbon/Mark menu glitch ====
In the [[Party]] and [[Box]] menus, the [[Ribbon]]s and [[Mark]]s earned by a Pokémon are not displayed properly, and can only be viewed and equipped when the [[summary]] menu is accessed from the party.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20221230122840/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1598529777710895107</ref>

====TM014 Thumbnail oversight====
The Thumbnail preview for [[TM014]] ({{m|Acrobatics}}) mistakenly had remnants of a developer debugging menu. This was corrected in v.1.2.0.

====Uncatchable Transformed Ditto glitch====
Prior to v1.2.0, if a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Ditto}} used {{m|Transform}} to transform into the alternate [[form]] of any species, (specifically a form with an index value other than "0"), it would cause the [[catch rate]] of the Ditto to become 0, making it impossible to catch with any [[Poké Ball]] except the [[Heavy Ball]] or [[Master Ball]]. This was fixed in v1.2.0, always using Ditto's correct catch rate of 35, regardless of what species/form it is currently transformed into.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1632216388734537729</ref>

===Prior to v1.1.0===
====Elite Four music glitch====
During the [[Elite Four]] battles, the brief intro of the background music played on a persistent loop throughout rather than playing the entire music.<ref>https://youtu.be/DDTQ70QLgbc</ref> This was fixed in v1.1.0.

====Online battle RNG glitch====
During online matches, the same [[Pseudorandom number generation|RNG]] seed was used for every battle, causing many "random" actions to be completely predictable, such as the [[accuracy]] checks for whether OHKO moves like {{m|Sheer Cold}} would be successful during a turn.<ref>https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1596768465095983104</ref><ref>https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1598513391601164288</ref>

====Sleep status visual glitch====
When a Pokémon is afflicted by the {{status|sleep}} status condition, its eyes would remain open. This was fixed in v1.1.0.

===Prior to v1.0.1 ===
====Multiplayer Tera Raid Shiny sparkle glitch====
During a multiplayer Tera Raid Battle, if another player sends out a Shiny Pokémon, the sparkling animation will only be displayed on the player's own Pokémon. This was fixed in v1.0.1.

====Sylveon type flag oversight ====
Due to an oversight, {{p|Sylveon}} has the same flag as {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Silvally}}, which prevents its type from being changed. This was fixed in v1.0.1.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230519095250/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1614308613505392640?s=20</ref>

List of glitches in Generation IX

2025-10-18T22:39:24Z

Angrytheeevee:

{{Outdated|needs=Pokemon Legends Z-A is absent.}}

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation IX]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]].

==Scarlet and Violet==
===All versions===
====Battle glitches====
=====Ally Switch Terapagos visual glitch=====
In a [[double battle]], if {{p|Terapagos}} is switched in on the same turn as its ally uses {{m|Ally Switch}} {{a|Tera Shift}} will appear to turn Terapagos into its ally rather than its Terastal Form. This effect is only visual and Terapagos will still have the moves and stats of its Terastal form. If the transformed Terapagos [[Terastal phenomenon|terastalizes]], it will display the Tera Jewel corresponding to the Tera type of the Pokémon it transformed into rather than the {{t|Stellar}} Tera Jewel. If it uses {{m|Tera Starstorm}} while in this state and the displayed Tera Jewel is not Stellar, the move will animate like a single target move and appear to only to do damage to one target in the animation, however both foes will take damage. If the Terapagos is transformed into a Pokémon with the Stellar tera type and uses {{m|Tera Starstorm}} while terastilized it will animate as double target move as usual, but if it hits a Pokémon that is using a {{cat|Protection moves|protection move}} there is a chance it will erroneously say a [[Critical Hit]] was landed despite the protection move successfully activating.<ref>https://x.com/TesloboVGC/status/1886574170517217735</ref><ref>https://x.com/TesloboVGC/status/1886574399861514327</ref>

=====Interrupted cheer deduction glitch=====
During a [[Tera Raid Battle]], if a cheer is confirmed at the same time as an extra action from a boss is triggered and interrupts the cheer from executing, the number of usable cheers may still be deducted despite the cheer not actually being used.

{{YouTubeEmbed|e2r6USb-3PE|Flametix|Violet|Violet}}

=====Missing TM Materials item IDs=====
There are 23 stubbed items in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} that map to [[TM Material]]s for {{p|Sprigatito}}, {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, {{p|Koraidon}}, {{p|Miraidon}}, the [[treasures of ruin]], and [[Paradox Pokémon]] found in the [[Paldea Pokédex]], [[List of items by index number in Generation IX|item ID]]s 2100-2102 (Sprigatito through Quaxly), 2124-2125 (Koraidon and Miraidon), 2138-2151 (Paradox Pokémon, excluding Walking Wake and Iron Leaves), and 2152-2155 (treasures of ruin).<ref>https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/5002-pok%C3%A9-portal-event-23-great-tusk-and-iron-treads-spotlight-chesnaught-the-unrivaled/?do=findComment&comment=4319</ref>

If the game attempts to grant these items to the player, such as via the rewards following the completion of a [[Tera Raid Battle]], the game will crash.

{{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} event raids did attempt to grant bonus drops of TM Materials, however they were unaffected by this glitch due to not having an associated TM Material item ID. 7★ Raid Battles for species not found in Paldea, (such as {{p|Charizard}}), were also unaffected, as they did not have TM Materials in the item pool.

The first instance of this glitch occurred May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023 with the introduction of {{p|Great Tusk}} and {{p|Iron Treads}} event raids.

======May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023 Poké Portal News event glitches======
[[File:Great Tusk and Iron Treads Glitched TM Material.jpg|thumb|250px|The item rewards screen of one of the glitched Great Tusk and Iron Treads raids, attempting to display a non-existent [[TM Material]] prior to the game crashing.]]
[[File:Cancelled 7 Star Delphox Announcement.jpg|thumb|250px|An announcement for a 7★ {{p|Delphox}} event intended to run from May 25 to 28, 2023 that briefly appeared in the [[Pokémon HOME]] calendar on May 21, before being removed from the event calendar.]]
{{main|Poké Portal News#May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → May 19, 00:00 to 02:00 UTC, 2023}}
{{main|Poké Portal News#June 16 to 19, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → June 16 to 19, 2023}}
This event was originally intended to run between May 19, 00:00 UTC to May 21, 23:59 UTC, 2023, but included two notable glitches during its initial introduction on May 19, 2023:
* The item rewards attempted to grant and display [[TM Material]]s for Great Tusk and Iron Treads, despite both species not having associated TM Material items. This caused the item rewards screen for some players to display "None" as one of the item rewards, followed by the game crashing.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1659386207162204161 Video clip of glitched TM Materials and game crash for Great Tusk Raid by @Sibuna_Switch, via Twitter]</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1659353658163621893</ref>
* All Iron Treads raids with random Tera types were erroneously coded never to appear as {{Shiny}},<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1659352905692971010</ref> despite both versions of Great Tusk, and the Iron Treads with the forced {{t|Ground}} Tera type being able to appear as Shiny at the standard 1:4103.05 odds.
At approximately 02:00 UTC on May 19, 2023,<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1659380996343578624</ref> all event raids were removed from the server, (including the 7★ Chesnaught the Unrivaled event), replaced with completely blank event data for any players that connected during this time. The official Japanese twitter account issued an apology,<ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1659389212679098368</ref> but the event was eventually announced as being cancelled entirely.<ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1659516228363489281</ref> This is the first instance of a Poké Portal News event being removed from the server entirely to address a glitch.

Additionally, an announcement for a 7★ {{p|Delphox}} event running from May 26, 2023 00:00 UTC to May 28, 2023 23:59 UTC briefly appeared in the [[Pokémon HOME]] calendar on May 21, but was removed almost immediately, likely due to the cancellation of the prior event causing scheduling conflicts.

The June 16 to 19, 2023 rescheduled event resolved both aforementioned glitches, with both Great Tusk and Iron Treads no longer attempting to award the glitched TM Materials, and Iron Treads with random Tera Types are no longer prevented from being Shiny.
{{-}}

======June 21 to July 2, 2023 Poké Portal News 0 Tera Shards glitch======
[[File:Gimmighoul Glitched Item Rewards.jpg|thumb|250px|The item rewards screen of one of the glitched Gimmighoul raids in Pokémon Scarlet, attempting to display "0 [[Tera Shard]]s" as item rewards due to an null item reward pool.]]
{{main|Poké Portal News#June 21 to July 2, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → June 21 to July 2, 2023}}
After June 21, 2023's [[Nintendo Direct]] aired, the 25th Tera Raid Battle event featuring [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Gimmighoul|Chest Form]] {{p|Gimmighoul}} was announced. Gimmighoul with various Tera Types appeared in 1-5 Tera Raid Battles from June 21 (15:00 UTC) to July 2 (23:59 UTC), 2023.<ref>https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/ja/page/100.html</ref>

Initially, from 15:00 UTC to approximately 17:30 UTC, there was a glitch in the event data for [[Pokémon Scarlet]]. Players with Scarlet who completed the event raids were shown reward screens showing multiple instances of "<type> [[Tera Shard]] ×0" as a reward, (due to a null item reward pool), and were prevented from joining the raids of [[Pokémon Violet]] players, who were unaffected by the bug. New event raid data was uploaded the server shortly after, with Scarlet players who connected online after 17:30 UTC receiving raids with correct reward pools, and being able to join raids hosted by players with Violet.<ref>https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1671575089018552320</ref>
{{-}}

===== No "getting pumped!" message =====
During Tera Raid Battles, if the player's Pokémon or the Tera Raid Boss uses Focus Energy, the message "<Pokémon> is getting pumped!" will not show.

=====No type effectiveness or critical hit messages=====
If no battle animation plays (usually due to a Pokémon using a single-target attack move targeting their own ally Pokémon), messages for type effectiveness or [[critical hit]]s will not show if it otherwise would.

=====Permanent cheer preservation on fainting=====
During [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, if a player faints while the effects of a temporary stat boost from a cheer are active, then the stat boosts will be preserved and permanently applied for the rest of the raid after respawning. This permanent effect does not show as a visible buff in the Battle Info menu unlike the normal cheer effects. This effect can be stacked by using another cheer afterwards to increase the current cheer boost by ×0.5 (with no set maximum like stat stages), and fainting again will preserve the increased stats, while the cheer naturally wearing off after 3 turns will just reset stats back to the state before the cheer was used.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1772885083696791811</ref>
{{YouTubeEmbed|uC1dH8APhLc|slime_man|Violet|Violet}}

=====Swapping Pokémon in multiplayer raids=====
During multiplayer [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, occasionally you may be incorrectly using another player's Pokémon with their exact stats and moves, but it will not be replaced permanently after the battle ends.<ref>https://twitter.com/Flametix/status/1732939246493999263</ref> The model will visually remain the same as the original Pokémon until it faints and respawns.

===== Tarountula static encounter glitch =====
On the Switch 2, if the player attempts to battle the {{p|Tarountula}} hanging from a tree in [[Cabo Poco]] (such as tossing a Pokémon at it), the battle will sometimes not be triggered.

=====Tera Raid Battle Zacian glitch=====
During [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, if a teammate uses a {{p|Zacian}} holding a [[Rusted Sword]], the Zacian may appear in its Hero of Many Battles form on the field while its health bar icon is its Crowned Sword form. This can result in a Hero of Many Battles Zacian appearing to use {{m|Behemoth Blade}}, as it is actually a Crowned Sword Zacian.
{{-}}

=====Terapagos battle oversight=====
During the battle against {{p|Terapagos}} in its Stellar Form, if it is confused by a move such as {{m|Dynamic Punch}} and then breaks its own barrier due to confusion damage, the player can then knock out Terapagos early by dealing enough damage. If this happens, the game will put the battle in an unwinnable state, as the battle script has Terapagos create another barrier, but as its HP was effectively depleted, it is no longer recognized as an active participant of the battle.

{{YouTubeEmbed|3lFXoaPwe_g|NiceAsMike|Stellar|Stellar}}

=====Trick Room Female Indeedee=====
{{main|Game move errors#Unobtainable moves 2|Game move errors → Unobtainable at the game's release → Unobtainable moves}}
[[File:Female Indeedee Trick Room SV.png|thumb|Female Indeedee using {{m|Trick Room}} during a [[Tera Raid Battle]]]]
[[File:Female Indeedee Trick Room Summary.png|thumb|The [[summary]] page showing the error move {{m|Trick Room}} after capture]]
In 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, female Indeedee has an identical moveset to its male counterpart, which erroneously included the move Trick Room, a move it could not normally learn. When caught, female Indeedee with Trick Room were permitted to be [[trade]]d online, and participate in the [[Battle Stadium]].

Additionally, while Female Indeedee 5★ raids were initially impossible to host online to other players (displaying an error message when attempting to join them), as of early December 2022 they began permitting other players to host them freely with Trick Room still present in the moveset, despite it still being an error move at the time.

This is currently the only instance of an error move obtainable by the player where the error was corrected by the developers simply allowing it, and eventually integrating it as a feature. As of v2.0.1 of Scarlet and Violet, instead of correcting the erroneous move, [[Game Freak]] instead patched the game to add Trick Room to Female Indeedee's [[TM]] learnset, effectively rendering it no longer an "error move". However, if the move is forgotten, it can not be relearned without using a TM.

{{YouTubeEmbed|YM6ugvHGH3E|@Atrius97|Violet|Violet}}

=====Trick Room oversight=====
If a Pokémon has an effective speed greater than 1809, it will ignore the effects of {{m|Trick Room}}, and act before slower Pokémon. This glitch also exists in [[Generation V]], [[Generation VI|VI]]. [[Generation VII|VII]] and [[Generation VIII|VIII]].{{-}}

=====Turn 255+ move glitches=====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Mechanics explanation, see [https://fixupx.com/DaWoblefet/status/1860503393250213945 this tweet], [https://fixupx.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1861272667514397019 this tweet], and [https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/scarlet-violet-battle-mechanics-research.3709545/page-55#post-10352797 this Smogon mechanics writeup/mechanics discussion] for details.}}
If the Pokémon uses {{m|Future Sight}} or {{m|Doom Desire}} on the 254th turn or {{m|Wish}} on the 255th turn of battle, the move effects will never occur in battle due to an integer overflow in the turn number check (using a single byte). Using those moves again will always cause them to fail. In addition, turns will stop counting past 9999 (truncated to 15 as an 8-bit integer), resulting in the same aforementioned effects.

====Miscellaneous====
=====Door collision glitches=====
Some buildings have doors that lack collision, allowing the player to step through them into a small square space on the other side. One such door can be found in [[Porto Marinada]] near the eastern entrance to the market.

=====Memory leak=====
Due to a {{wp|memory leak}},<ref>https://twitter.com/Linkus7/status/1593700134864490511</ref> the longer the game remains open, the more performance issues occur, eventually leading to {{wp|heap corruption}} errors, potentially causing crashes, savefile corruption, and a wide variety of glitches.

This can be solved partially by exiting the main map via entering [[Mesagoza]], shops and houses with an interior map, gyms, or [[Area Zero]], or closing and reopening the game periodically.

=====Once-in-a-Lifetime Ribbon missing logic=====
Likely due to an oversight, the logic for the Once-in-a-Lifetime [[List of Ribbons in the games#Memorial Ribbons|Ribbon]] to be granted to Pokémon is not present in the game. Despite being unobtainable, the official guidebook mentions it is intended to be obtained from [[Surprise Trade]] at a 1/100 chance to be applied to traded Pokémon.<ref>https://twitter.com/no07011305/status/1603660614060097539</ref>

=====Out-of-bound spawning glitch=====
Pokémon and items will often spawn in places inaccessible to the player, such as behind walls, below the ground, underwater, or inside objects such as trees, rocks, or buildings.

=====Pokémon Egg Shiny Roll bug=====
When {{pkmn|breeding}}, if any [[personality value]] rerolls are applied, (such as the additional Shiny rolls provided via the [[Masuda method]] or [[Shiny Charm]]), the initial roll to generate a personality value is skipped.

This glitch is also present in the [[core series]] [[Generation]] {{gen|VIII}} games.

===== Premature outbreak and Tera Raid crystal reset bug =====
Outbreak and Tera Raid crystal may sometime reset themselves without the system's date changing or the player changing the date themselves.

=====Running speed glitch=====
On handheld mode, if the player connects a second controller (i.e. a Pro Controller) and hold both joysticks on the attached left Joy-con and second controller diagonally in the same direction, they will run at even faster speed than usual.

=====Town Map glitch=====
After the [[credits]] roll, the {{player}} will be transported to their dorm room in the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, but the player's location on the Town Map will still be marked as the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] until they leave the academy building.

====Texture/model glitches====
=====Clone glitch=====
{{GlitchResearch|Does this happen on all Titans or only the Open Sky Titan?}}
After defeating a [[Titan Pokémon|Titan]], if the Pokémon that defeated it evolves, it will display two of the Pokémon's model.

=====Espathra hair texture glitch=====
[[File:Espathra Camera Hair Texture Glitch.png|thumb|{{p|Espathra}} and its {{Shiny}} variant, displaying the incorrect hair coloration]]
When the camera is far from {{p|Espathra}}, its hair, which is normally white, is shown as the same color as its wings.
{{-}}

=====Glaseado Gym Test texture quirk=====
[[File:Glaseado Gym Test Texture Errors Koraidon Miraidon.png|thumb|{{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} during the [[Glaseado]] Gym Test, with glitched textures]]
During the [[Glaseado Mountain|Glaseado]] Gym Test, {{p|Koraidon}} may appear with its body textures heavily desaturated and {{p|Miraidon}} may appear with a white texture across most of its body, apparently missing its typical body textures. This is opposed to a subtle "snow-dusted" texture overlaid on top of their respective correct colorations, which is the intended appearance.
{{-}}

=====Overworld disguise glitch=====
Certain Pokémon such as {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Ditto}} spawn in the overworld disguised as another species. Due to nearby spawns being retained after saving and reloading the game, nearby instances of disguised Pokémon will still be present if the player saves near one, then closes, and reopens the game.

However, when reloading the game, the Pokémon will lose its disguise and appear as the correct species. If encountered in battle, it appears to "transform" into itself, playing the typical animation for losing its disguise, but not changing models.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1593272765183827970</ref>

=====Porto Marinada Market reappearing seller glitch=====
When the player imports certain Pokémon from [[Pokémon HOME]], a seller will appear in [[Porto Marinada Market]] to auction off the relevant items for changing the forms of those Pokémon, such as the [[Reveal Glass]] and [[Prison Bottle]]. The seller will disappear upon the conclusion of the final auction once there are no more items to be sold. However, if the player stands in front of the now-empty stall and triggers a form change that takes place in the overworld, such as using the [[Griseous Core]] on {{p|Giratina}}, the seller will reappear during the form change animation and will have no dialogue if she is spoken to.
{{-}}

=====Texture overlay glitch=====
In some cases, Pokémon will appear with another texture overlaid across their body.<ref>https://twitter.com/hotathino_/status/1598714830709739520</ref>

====User interface glitches====
=====Alcremie form glitch=====
When an {{p|Alcremie}} is in a [[Double Battle]], its icon on the target selection menu will depict Vanilla Cream Alcremie with a [[Strawberry Sweet]] regardless of what form is actually in the battle. This can be easily seen in battles with [[Lacey]], where her Ruby Swirl Alcremie with a [[Berry Sweet]] triggers the glitch.

=====Health bar quirks=====
During [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, the health bar of the boss appears inconsistent between participants, and may display an incorrect amount of damage taken, or appear to regain health after being reduced to 0 HP. The last issue commonly occurred when using certain moves such as Play Rough visually displaying more damage than what was actually taken prior to 1.2.0, and the game trying to correct to the real HP value afterwards would make it appear as the boss recovered HP.

A similar issue can happen during the [[Titan Pokémon]] battles involving [[Arven]], where if the Titan attacks his Pokémon and the player's Pokémon will hit it as well, but move after the Titan, the HP bar will update to values in the wrong order.

{{YouTubeEmbed|UBmFCPQPgoM|SmallAnt_Clips|HP|HP}}

=====Kofu's Wallet sprite glitch=====
When the player receives [[Kofu's Wallet]] in [[Cascarrafa]], the description window may briefly appear on the screen with the sprite of a Water-type [[TM]] instead of the correct sprite, before the window reappears with the correct sprite.

=====Mass outbreak form display glitch=====
If a Pokémon has multiple forms that can be found in the wild, the map may display an incorrect form icon when this species appears in a mass outbreak. For example, a Stretchy Form {{p|Tatsugiri}} icon may display for a mass outbreak of Curly Form Tatsugiri.

=====Minimap out-of-bounds icons glitch=====
After the game has been open for an extended period of time, the minimap will stop clearing Pokémon icons from the map, causing them to appear out-of-bounds of the minimap rather than vanishing when the player is out of range.

=====Negative number revival timer glitch=====
When going to the HOME menu during a raid while the revival timer is active and the raid continues in the background, and returning after the Pokémon has been revived, the revival timer may stay visible and count down into negative numbers. When it reaches -100, it will appear as -?0, with a ? in the tens digit.
{{YouTubeEmbed|wkHRZFig2bg|Flametix|Violet|Violet}}

=====Slow 300 HP bar animation glitch=====
When taking damage or healing to a result of exactly 300 HP, the HP bar will animate slower than normal.
{{YouTubeEmbed|R63wjTrDGAA|Flametix|Violet|Violet}}

=====Tera Blast type effectiveness glitch=====
If a Pokémon is Terastallized during a battle, other Pokémon on the player's team who know {{m|Tera Blast}} may have Tera Blast's type or effectiveness display in menus as if they were the Pokémon that was Terastallized, based on their own Tera Type.

=====TM list glitch=====
When teaching a Pokémon a move using the "Use TMs to learn moves" option on the status screen, if the last TM on the list is used, the cursor will highlight a blank space on the list after teaching the move. This is due to the used TM disappearing from the list, but the cursor not adjusting to highlight the TM above it despite it becoming the last one in the list.

=====Typeless summary glitch=====
When viewing the summary screen of a Pokémon that is currently typeless, the game will crash.<ref>https://twitter.com/zakocky/status/1612373830718337027</ref>

===Prior to v3.0.1===
====Dragon Cheer glitch====
When a Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Dragon Cheer}} was switched out of battle and then reentered that battle, its attacks would still have a heightened chance of landing critical hits. This glitch was fixed in v3.0.1.

====Input lock glitch====
When levelling up {{p|Inkay}} using candy while it is under Level 30, the game would stop receiving inputs from the controllers. This glitch was fixed in v.3.0.1.

====Item Printer glitch====
After players installed the [[Item Printer]] in the [[League Club Room]], under certain circumstances, they could get stuck between the Item Printer and the wall. This glitch was fixed in v.3.0.1.

====Smeargle cloning glitch====
If the player lures a {{p|Smeargle}} very close to a tree in the [[Terarium]], has the wild Smeargle use {{m|Sketch}} to Sketch the move {{m|Transform}}, then has the wild Smeargle use Transform, if the player then runs away from the battle, the Smeargle will become a clone of the Pokémon it transformed into, and the player can then re-encounter the clone in a battle to capture it. The clone will disappear from the overworld if the game is saved and restarted if it is not caught.

Much like the curry cloning glitch, most aspects of the original Pokémon will stay the same (including its held item and any Ribbons or marks), but information about where and how it was caught and its [[Original Trainer]] are overwritten. Furthermore, by having the wild Smeargle transform into certain battle-only forms, such as Terastal Form {{p|Terapagos}} or Hero Form {{p|Palafin}}, the clone will be able to sustain these forms outside of battle where they otherwise wouldn't be, until the clone is deposited in a Box or the game is restarted.

Stellar Form Terapagos and {{p|Ogerpon}} in its Terastallized state cannot be cloned, as Transform fails against those targets. However, the player can still Terastallize clones of Ogerpon and Terapagos to use these forms.

Using this glitch, it's possible to clone Pokémon obtained through the NPC trades in the [[League Club Room|BB League Club Room]], and since OT and ID data is overwritten upon capturing a clone, but Ribbons and marks are copied, the Partner Ribbon is able to be obtained on a Pokémon the game considers to be the player's, allowing any OT to be a Pokémon's title.

The [[Pokémon HOME]] tracker value will also be copied if the original Pokémon had one, preventing such clones from being deposited in HOME.

This glitch was fixed in v.3.0.1, by making the move Transform fail if used by wild Smeargle in this scenario.

====TM223 required material glitch====
In Pokémon Scarlet, one of the TM materials needed to craft [[TM223]] was Shieldon Claws, despite {{p|Shieldon}} and {{p|Bastiodon}} being exclusive to Pokémon Violet, making it impossible to craft this TM in this game. This glitch was fixed in v3.0.1, and to compensate, [[List of other event distributions in Generation IX#Compensatory TM223s (Metal Sound)|ten TM223s were distributed]] as a [[Mystery Gift]] from December 26, 2023 until the release of v3.0.1 on February 1, 2024.

===Prior to v3.0.0===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Check patch notes and retest existing bugs, move/add any bugs that were resolved between v1.3.0 and v1.3.1}}

===Prior to v2.0.2===
=====Paradise Protection Protocol battle glitch=====
During the battle against the Paradise Protection Protocol's Koraidon/Miraidon, if the player has these Pokémon registered to the Paldea Pokédex, the game will crash when hovering over slot 4, 5 or 6 when viewing their party. This was fixed in v2.0.2.

===Prior to v2.0.1===
=====Itemfinder Mark missing logic=====
Likely due to an oversight, the logic for the Itemfinder [[Mark]] to be granted to Pokémon was not present in the game<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230308220915/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1598840477758803968</ref>. Despite it being unobtainable prior to v2.0.1., [[Hassel]] erroneously mentions it as being obtainable during one of his Art classes at the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}.

In v2.0.1, the Itemfinder Mark can be awarded as intended.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1701837119444885945</ref>

=====Tera Raid missing players glitch =====
During multi-player Tera Raid Battles, other players that join may not appear to the host player, instead showing an empty player slot, despite having all available player slots filled. This was fixed in v2.0.1.

===Prior to v1.3.1===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Check patch notes and retest existing bugs, move/add any bugs that were resolved between v1.3.0 and v1.3.1}}

===Prior to v1.3.0===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Check [https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60277/~/how-to-update-pok%C3%A9mon-scarlet-and-pok%C3%A9mon-violet#v130 patch notes] and retest existing bugs, move/add any bugs that were resolved between v1.2.0 and v1.3.0}}

===Prior to v1.2.0===
====Destiny Bond Terastallization glitch====
If a Pokémon uses {{m|Destiny Bond}} and {{Tera}}stallizes on the next turn, Destiny Bond won't cause the attacker to faint. This is a bug and was fixed in the Version 1.2.0 update.

====February 27 to March 12, 2023 Poké Portal News Bad Egg====
[[File:PPN13 Bad Egg.jpg|thumb|250x250px|Bad Egg as a result of catching a Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in v1.1.0 of Scarlet or Violet]]
{{main|Poké Portal News#February 27 to March 12, 2023|Poké Portal News → 2023 → February 27 to March 12, 2023}}
The Poké Portal News event on February 27 to March 12, 2023 introduced {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} in 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. However, it was possible to update the Poké Portal News event data while still remaining on Scarlet or Violet v1.1.0, causing incorrect event data to be generated.

If the player attempted to join a 5★ event raid after going online in v1.1.0 during this period, these raids would result in a [[Bad Egg]] instead, due to the lack of species data existing in v1.1.0. These Bad Eggs cannot be hatched, released, or traded, and also set the flag for having caught Walking Wake or Iron Leaves, causing the player to be unable to attempt to catch another. Updating the game to v1.2.0 does not result in the Bad Egg becoming the correct species.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1630378458034626564</ref>

{{YouTubeEmbed|7gtymg7VudU|@Atrius97|Violet|Violet}}

This glitch was partially fixed in Scarlet and Violet v1.3.0, which released April 20, 2023, with v1.3.0 detecting any Bad Eggs present in the savefile and resetting the respective capture flag(s) if a player had obtained a Bad Egg, Additionally, a repeat of the event was scheduled for [[Poké Portal News#May 1 to 14, 2023|May 1 to 14, 2023]] as a direct response <ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1648612433962110976</ref> to the issue, allowing affected players another chance to capture a Walking Wake and/or Iron Leaves.

v1.3.0 also made a change to how Poké Portal News event data was stored, now storing it under version specific blocks in the savefile, preventing event data from a newer game version from being accessed by the player on an outdated game version, hypothetically preventing the original glitch from occurring again in the future.

Despite the v1.3.0 patch notes<ref>https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60277/~/how-to-update-pok%C3%A9mon-scarlet-and-pok%C3%A9mon-violet#v130</ref> claiming to fully resolve the issue, while the patch does properly detect the presence of Bad Eggs, any Bad Eggs obtained during the aforementioned glitched raid event continue to persist in the player's storage after updating to v1.3.0, without any method of removing them, as they still cannot be traded, released, or hatched.

{{YouTubeEmbed|xDTnN-d8QmQ|@Atrius97|Violet|Violet}}
{{-}}

====Order Up glitch====
If a {{p|Dondozo}} with a {{p|Tatsugiri}} in its mouth uses the move {{m|Order Up}}, the move will increase one of Dondozo's stats even if the move is negated (e.g. via {{m|Protect}}). This is a bug and was fixed in the version 1.2.0 update.

====Persistent model glitch====
After the game has been open for an extended period of time, the last previously loaded model will remain loaded during cutscenes or interior locations, often appearing as a {{i|Poké Ball}} or Pokémon placed arbitrarily in the middle of a room, or near the entrance of an interior location.

This was partially resolved in v1.2.0, apparently fixing the appearance of glitched Poké Ball models, however some Pokémon models still appear to persist in areas such as [[Tera Raid Battle]]s and inside buildings.

====Ribbon/Mark menu glitch ====
In the [[Party]] and [[Box]] menus, the [[Ribbon]]s and [[Mark]]s earned by a Pokémon are not displayed properly, and can only be viewed and equipped when the [[summary]] menu is accessed from the party.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20221230122840/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1598529777710895107</ref>

====TM014 Thumbnail oversight====
The Thumbnail preview for [[TM014]] ({{m|Acrobatics}}) mistakenly had remnants of a developer debugging menu. This was corrected in v.1.2.0.

====Uncatchable Transformed Ditto glitch====
Prior to v1.2.0, if a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Ditto}} used {{m|Transform}} to transform into the alternate [[form]] of any species, (specifically a form with an index value other than "0"), it would cause the [[catch rate]] of the Ditto to become 0, making it impossible to catch with any [[Poké Ball]] except the [[Heavy Ball]] or [[Master Ball]]. This was fixed in v1.2.0, always using Ditto's correct catch rate of 35, regardless of what species/form it is currently transformed into.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1632216388734537729</ref>

===Prior to v1.1.0===
====Elite Four music glitch====
During the [[Elite Four]] battles, the brief intro of the background music played on a persistent loop throughout rather than playing the entire music.<ref>https://youtu.be/DDTQ70QLgbc</ref> This was fixed in v1.1.0.

====Online battle RNG glitch====
During online matches, the same [[Pseudorandom number generation|RNG]] seed was used for every battle, causing many "random" actions to be completely predictable, such as the [[accuracy]] checks for whether OHKO moves like {{m|Sheer Cold}} would be successful during a turn.<ref>https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1596768465095983104</ref><ref>https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1598513391601164288</ref>

====Sleep status visual glitch====
When a Pokémon is afflicted by the {{status|sleep}} status condition, its eyes would remain open. This was fixed in v1.1.0.

===Prior to v1.0.1 ===
====Multiplayer Tera Raid Shiny sparkle glitch====
During a multiplayer Tera Raid Battle, if another player sends out a Shiny Pokémon, the sparkling animation will only be displayed on the player's own Pokémon. This was fixed in v1.0.1.

====Sylveon type flag oversight ====
Due to an oversight, {{p|Sylveon}} has the same flag as {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Silvally}}, which prevents its type from being changed. This was fixed in v1.0.1.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230519095250/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1614308613505392640?s=20</ref>

'''Pokémon Legends: Z-A'''{{#tag:ref|"Z-A" is pronounced as the two letters Z and A separately, according to the pronunciation of those letters in each language.<ref group="lower-alpha" name="en"/><ref group="lower-alpha" name="ja"/><ref group="lower-alpha" name="ko"/><ref group="lower-alpha" name="es_la"/>|group=note|name=pronunciation}} (Japanese: '''{{j|Pokémon LEGENDS {{ruby|Z-A|ゼットエー}}}}''' ''Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A'') is the third [[Generation IX]] [[core series]] game and the second game to bear the "[[Core series#Pokémon Legends|Pokémon Legends]]" moniker, after [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

The game was announced worldwide on [[Pokémon Day|February 27]], 2024, at 14:00 UTC, through a [[Pokémon Presents#February 27, 2024|Pokémon Presents]]. It was released worldwide on [[Nintendo Switch]] on October 16, 2025. A [[Nintendo Switch 2]] Edition, known as '''Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition''', released at the same time as both a physical release and a downloadable [[upgrade pack]]. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition features enhanced resolution and frame rates compared to the base version. All copies of the game are playable in ten languages: Japanese, English, German, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. It is the first core series game with a {{pmin|Latin America}}n Spanish translation.

The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] was revealed during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on September 12, 2025.

==Plot==
The game is set entirely in [[Lumiose City]],<ref>[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1762487295859405151 Tweet from @NintendoAmerica: ''Watch to see the reveal trailer for #PokemonLegendsZA, a new adventure set entirely within Lumiose City, coming to #NintendoSwitch in 2025.'']</ref> five years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>'''NPC:''' "The incident with [[Team Flare]] five years ago sent shock waves through the whole of [[Kalos]]." (Pokémon Legends: Z-A)</ref> A large corporation called [[Quasartico Inc.]] leads an urban redevelopment plan for Lumiose City, aiming to make it a city where humans and Pokémon can live in harmony.


==Features==
===Battle mechanics===
Unlike other core series games, which use a turn-based battle system, Pokémon Legends: Z-A uses a real-time combat system where Trainers and their Pokémon can move around a 3D space which adapts various gameplay features from {{g|UNITE}}.

The similar features presented here along with new mechanics include precise timing of when to swap out Pokémon or use their [[move]]s, moves hitting specific areas of the field, and a [[Cooldown]] feature in place of [[PP]], with a different length of time for each move. The moves now use precise button commands with the A, B, X, or Y buttons when locked on to a target, which can be customized.

[[Status move]]s that affects stats are now only limited to a one level change and will wear off after a short time, which the aura that it represents disappearing once the time limit is reached.

As seen in the 2025 Worlds/Gamescom demo, [[held item]]s, including {{Berries}}, return after their absence in the previous Pokémon Legends game.

===Catching Pokémon===
[[Wild Pokémon]] can be encountered throughout Lumiose City. Many of them appear in "wild zones", areas of the city specifically designated as places for Pokémon to live. Similar to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, players can attempt to catch Pokémon without having to {{pkmn|battle}} them, though battling them and lowering their HP will improve the odds of a successful catch. The player is seen using modern {{i|Poké Ball}}s.

A new mechanic is featured where if the wild Pokémon runs out of HP, it will become briefly stunned, allowing the player a few seconds to catch it before it vanishes. If the catch fails, the wild Pokémon will vanish.

===Friend===
Either [[Urbain]] or [[Taunie]] will appear as the player's [[friend]] depending on the [[Gender|appearance]] chosen for the [[player character]] at the beginning of the game. Players with a {{ga|Paxton|male appearance}} will meet Taunie, while players with a {{ga|Harmony|female appearance}} will meet Urbain. The player's friend works at [[Hotel Z]], where they support the hotel's owner, [[AZ]].

The game features {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Totodile}} as [[first partner Pokémon]]. The player's friend will use the Pokémon that the player's first partner has a type advantage against.

Later in the story, Taunie/Urbain will invite the player to join [[Team MZ]], who aim to protect Lumiose City and have been tasked with battling the Rogue [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon running wild around the city.

=== Rogue Mega Evolutions ===
{{main|Rogue Mega Evolution}}
The battles against the [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]s use a similar system as the [[noble Pokémon]] battles from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], with the player dodging attacks in real time and launching attacks to deplete the health bar.

The [[Mega Energy]] feature from {{g|GO}} has been adapted for this feature, where the player can collect currency until its meter is filled and be able to induce Mega Evolution if their Pokémon is capable of Mega Evolving, and will enter a cooldown mode once that meter has been drained.

=== Z-A Royale ===
The [[Z-A Royale]] is a competition held at night in Lumiose City. Participating Pokémon Trainers start at Rank Z, and can rank up by defeating other Trainers in promotion matches to progress to Rank A. It is said that Trainers who reach Rank A may have one wish granted.
===New Pokémon and forms===
[[Eternal Flower Floette]] is available for the first time. Additionally, 26 Pokémon gained new [[Mega Evolution]]s, those being {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Emboar}}, {{p|Excadrill}}, {{p|Scolipede}}, {{p|Scrafty}}, {{P|Eelektross}}, {{p|Chandelure}}, {{p|Chesnaught}}, {{p|Delphox}}, {{p|Greninja}}, {{p|Pyroar}}, {{p|Floette}} (exclusive to Eternal Flower Floette), {{p|Malamar}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, {{p|Dragalge}}, {{p|Hawlucha}}, {{p|Zygarde}} (exclusive to Complete Forme), {{p|Drampa}}, and {{p|Falinks}}.

===Pokémon mechanics===
[[Mega Evolution]] returns for the first time in a [[core series]] game since {{LGPE}}.

{{pkmn2|Wild}} [[alpha Pokémon]] make their return from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, behaving and looking similarly to as they did in that game.

=== Connectivity ===
The game is planned to receive [[Pokémon HOME]] compatibility at some point in 2026. However, Pokémon caught or transferred to Pokémon Legends: Z-A cannot be sent to previous Nintendo Switch titles. Similar to previous titles, only Pokémon available in this game can be transferred into it.

==Version history==
The game file size is dependant on the system that the game is downloaded on, irrespective of the edition owned. In other words, downloading the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of the game on a [[Nintendo Switch 2]] will still consume the same amount of storage space as the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. The Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade pack only consumes approximately 3 MB of additional space.<ref name="Nintendo eShop AU">https://ec.nintendo.com/AU/en/aocs/70050000058351</ref>

** To use real-time combat.
** To include letters from the Latin alphabet in its official Chinese name, as {{g|X and Y}} were never officially translated to Chinese.
** To have its [[Mega Dimension|DLC]] be revealed before the release of the base game.

'''Pokémon Legends: Z-A'''{{#tag:ref|"Z-A" is pronounced as the two letters Z and A separately, according to the pronunciation of those letters in each language.<ref group="lower-alpha" name="en"/><ref group="lower-alpha" name="ja"/><ref group="lower-alpha" name="ko"/><ref group="lower-alpha" name="es_la"/>|group=note|name=pronunciation}} (Japanese: '''{{j|Pokémon LEGENDS {{ruby|Z-A|ゼットエー}}}}''' ''Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A'') is the third [[Generation IX]] [[core series]] game and the second game to bear the "[[Core series#Pokémon Legends|Pokémon Legends]]" moniker, after [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

The game was announced worldwide on [[Pokémon Day|February 27]], 2024, at 14:00 UTC, through a [[Pokémon Presents#February 27, 2024|Pokémon Presents]]. It was released worldwide on [[Nintendo Switch]] on October 16, 2025. A [[Nintendo Switch 2]] Edition, known as '''Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition''', released at the same time as both a physical release and a downloadable [[upgrade pack]]. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition features enhanced resolution and frame rates compared to the base version. All copies of the game are playable in ten languages: Japanese, English, German, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. It is the first core series game with a {{pmin|Latin America}}n Spanish translation.

The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] was revealed during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on September 12, 2025.

==Plot==
The game is set entirely in [[Lumiose City]],<ref>[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1762487295859405151 Tweet from @NintendoAmerica: ''Watch to see the reveal trailer for #PokemonLegendsZA, a new adventure set entirely within Lumiose City, coming to #NintendoSwitch in 2025.'']</ref> five years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>'''NPC:''' "The incident with [[Team Flare]] five years ago sent shock waves through the whole of [[Kalos]]." (Pokémon Legends: Z-A)</ref> A large corporation called [[Quasartico Inc.]] leads an urban redevelopment plan for Lumiose City, aiming to make it a city where humans and Pokémon can live in harmony.


==Features==
===Battle mechanics===
Unlike other core series games, which use a turn-based battle system, Pokémon Legends: Z-A uses a real-time combat system where Trainers and their Pokémon can move around a 3D space which adapts various gameplay features from {{g|UNITE}}.

The similar features presented here along with new mechanics include precise timing of when to swap out Pokémon or use their [[move]]s, moves hitting specific areas of the field, and a [[Cooldown]] feature in place of [[PP]], with a different length of time for each move. The moves now use precise button commands with the A, B, X, or Y buttons when locked on to a target, which can be customized.

[[Status move]]s that affects stats are now only limited to a one level change and will wear off after a short time, which the aura that it represents disappearing once the time limit is reached.

As seen in the 2025 Worlds/Gamescom demo, [[held item]]s, including {{Berries}}, return after their absence in the previous Pokémon Legends game.

===Catching Pokémon===
[[Wild Pokémon]] can be encountered throughout Lumiose City. Many of them appear in "wild zones", areas of the city specifically designated as places for Pokémon to live. Similar to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, players can attempt to catch Pokémon without having to {{pkmn|battle}} them, though battling them and lowering their HP will improve the odds of a successful catch. The player is seen using modern {{i|Poké Ball}}s.

A new mechanic is featured where if the wild Pokémon runs out of HP, it will become briefly stunned, allowing the player a few seconds to catch it before it vanishes. If the catch fails, the wild Pokémon will vanish.

===Friend===
Either [[Urbain]] or [[Taunie]] will appear as the player's [[friend]] depending on the [[Gender|appearance]] chosen for the [[player character]] at the beginning of the game. Players with a {{ga|Paxton|male appearance}} will meet Taunie, while players with a {{ga|Harmony|female appearance}} will meet Urbain. The player's friend works at [[Hotel Z]], where they support the hotel's owner, [[AZ]].

The game features {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Totodile}} as [[first partner Pokémon]]. The player's friend will use the Pokémon that the player's first partner has a type advantage against.

Later in the story, Taunie/Urbain will invite the player to join [[Team MZ]], who aim to protect Lumiose City and have been tasked with battling the Rogue [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon running wild around the city.

=== Rogue Mega Evolutions ===
{{main|Rogue Mega Evolution}}
The battles against the [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]s use a similar system as the [[noble Pokémon]] battles from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], with the player dodging attacks in real time and launching attacks to deplete the health bar.

The [[Mega Energy]] feature from {{g|GO}} has been adapted for this feature, where the player can collect currency until its meter is filled and be able to induce Mega Evolution if their Pokémon is capable of Mega Evolving, and will enter a cooldown mode once that meter has been drained.

=== Z-A Royale ===
The [[Z-A Royale]] is a competition held at night in Lumiose City. Participating Pokémon Trainers start at Rank Z, and can rank up by defeating other Trainers in promotion matches to progress to Rank A. It is said that Trainers who reach Rank A may have one wish granted.
===New Pokémon and forms===
[[Eternal Flower Floette]] is available for the first time. Additionally, 26 Pokémon gained new [[Mega Evolution]]s, those being {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Emboar}}, {{p|Excadrill}}, {{p|Scolipede}}, {{p|Scrafty}}, {{P|Eelektross}}, {{p|Chandelure}}, {{p|Chesnaught}}, {{p|Delphox}}, {{p|Greninja}}, {{p|Pyroar}}, {{p|Floette}} (exclusive to Eternal Flower Floette), {{p|Malamar}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, {{p|Dragalge}}, {{p|Hawlucha}}, {{p|Zygarde}} (exclusive to Complete Forme), {{p|Drampa}}, and {{p|Falinks}}.

===Pokémon mechanics===
[[Mega Evolution]] returns for the first time in a [[core series]] game since {{LGPE}}.

{{pkmn2|Wild}} [[alpha Pokémon]] make their return from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, behaving and looking similarly to as they did in that game.

=== Connectivity ===
The game is planned to receive [[Pokémon HOME]] compatibility at some point in 2026. However, Pokémon caught or transferred to Pokémon Legends: Z-A cannot be sent to previous Nintendo Switch titles. Similar to previous titles, only Pokémon available in this game can be transferred into it.

==Reception==

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Legends: Z-A}}

==Version history==
The game file size is dependant on the system that the game is downloaded on, irrespective of the the edition owned. In other words, downloading the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of the game on a [[Nintendo Switch 2]] will still consume the same amount of storage space as the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. The Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade pack only consumes approximately 3 MB of additional space.<ref name="Nintendo eShop AU">https://ec.nintendo.com/AU/en/aocs/70050000058351</ref>

==Trivia==
* This is the first core series game:
** To be rated E10+ by the [[wikipedia:Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB]].
** To use real-time combat.
** To include letters from the Latin alphabet in its official Chinese name, as {{g|X and Y}} were never officially translated to Chinese.
** To have its [[Mega Dimension|DLC]] be revealed before the release of the base game.

Talk:List of glitches in Generation IX

2024-07-30T20:52:29Z

Angrytheeevee: /* Memory Leak Glitch */ new section

== Not all glitches, change page name ==

There is a clear distinction between a glitch and a mere design oversight. I suggest the page be moved to List of glitches and oversights (Generation IX) --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 22:36, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
:An oversight can still be considered a glitch. A glitch can be any unintended behavior, and many glitches exist precisely due to oversights. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 22:48, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
::In any case, I'd be more inclined to remove anything that is clearly not a glitch than to rename all of our glitch list pages (though I'd bring up anything you think should be removed on the relevant talk page and see what other people think first). [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 22:53, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

'''Pidove''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マメパト''' ''Mamepato'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Tranquill}} starting at [[level]] 21, which evolves into {{p|Unfezant}} starting at level 32.

==Biology==
Pidove is a mainly gray, pigeon-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has golden, oval eyes and a tuft of feathers atop its rounded head. It has a short, black beak with a bulbous pink {{wp|cere}}, and a black patch on the nape of its neck. There is a wide, heart-shaped area of lighter coloration on its chest. Pidove's black wings have a thick gray stripe down the side. It has pink feet with black talons.

Pidove is not particularly intelligent. While it always listens to its Trainer's commands, it does not always understand them. Pidove are so forgetful that they will wait for new orders from their Trainers even if it received one right before; in {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|video game}}, their forgetfulness extends to them not even remembering their own names, while in [[JN029|the anime]], it extends to forgetting whatever scared them. Many Trainers love Pidove due to its friendliness and sincere nature. Pidove loves to follow people. Having no fear of people, flocks of Pidove are often found in city parks and plazas, though they can also be seen in grasslands and rural areas. The cooing of these flocks can be very noisy. About several hundred Pidove are known to gather when food is scattered on the ground for them.

===Evolution===
Pidove evolves into {{p|Tranquill}}, which evolves into {{p|Unfezant}}.

==Trivia==
* Pidove is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a base stat total of 264.
* Pidove was designed by [[Reiko Tanoue]].<ref>[http://raim2005.blog18.fc2.com/blog-entry-911.html Pokémon Peer interview] [http://pokebeach.com/2010/09/pokemon-peer-interview-translations (Translation by Pokebeach)]</ref>
* Pidove is tied with {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Starly}}, and {{p|Pikipek}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Pidove is based on {{wp|Columbidae|pigeons and doves}} with a heart motif added. The motif's inclusion is a pun on the homophonous Japanese words 鳩 ''hato'' (pigeon) and ハート ''hāto'' (heart).<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> It may also reference doves symbolizing romance, as Greek mythology associated the bird with {{wp|Aphrodite}}, the goddess of love. The Shiny form of Pidove may be based on the {{wp|Rock Dove}}.

====Name origin====
Pidove may be a combination of ''pigeon'' and ''dove'' or ''love'' (referencing the heart motif).

Mamepato may be a combination of 忠実 ''mame'' (diligent) or 豆 ''mame'' (prefix meaning ''tiny'') and 鳩 ''hato'' (pigeon).

'''Cerulean Cave''' (Japanese: '''ハナダの{{tt|洞窟|どうくつ}}''' ''Hanada Cave''), introduced as '''Unknown Dungeon''' (Japanese: '''ななしのどうくつ''' ''Nameless Cave''), is a [[cave]] located in the northwest corner of [[Cerulean City]] in [[Kanto]].

The cave's moniker would later be reused for the {{kal|Unknown Dungeon}} in [[Kalos]], which is a direct reference to Cerulean Cave.

==Terminology==
===Unknown Dungeon===
The English name "Unknown Dungeon" has never appeared in the games themselves as the name of this cave.
* In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, this location is referred to as "Unknown Dungeon" in the game data associated with the {{OBP|Pokédex|Stadium}}, but because the location itself is not selectable on the map in this game, this name is not visible in-game.
* This location is referred to as "Unknown Dungeon" in the [[Generation I]] game manuals, as well as in the guidebooks [[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]], [[Pokémon: Special Edition for Yellow, Red and Blue: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]], and [[Pokémon Red and Blue: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]].

The Japanese name 「ななしのどうくつ」 (''Nameless Cave'') is used in [[Generation I]].
* In the Japanese version of {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}, this location is referred to by this name on the [[Town Map]].
* In the Japanese games {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}} (never released in English) and Pokémon Stadium 2 (known in English as {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}), this location is referred to by this name in the game data associated with the {{OBP|Pokédex|Stadium}}, but because the location itself is not selectable on the map in these games, this name is not visible in-game.

===Cerulean Cave===
The English name "Cerulean Cave" is used in all generations.
* In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, this location is referred to as "Cerulean Cave" both times it is named in the game: on the [[Town Map]] (only visible if the player uses the Town Map inside the Cerulean Cave) and by the [[Non-player character|NPC]] who blocks the cave entrance.
* In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, this location is referred to by this name in the game data, but because the location itself does not appear in the games, this name is not visible in-game.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the English name "Cerulean Cave" is used on the map seen in the {{OBP|Pokédex|Stadium}}.
* From [[Generation III]] onward, this is always used as the name of this location.

The Japanese name 「ハナダどうくつ」 (''Hanada Cave'') is used in {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}.
* In these games, it is used in two of the three occasions it is named in-game: it is used by the NPC blocking the cave entrance and in an email on the computer in [[Cinnabar Lab]]. (In English, the email instead refers to "the cavern close to Cerulean" rather than naming it.)

The Japanese kana name 「ハナダのどうくつ」 (''Hanada Cave''), and its kanji equivalent 「ハナダの{{Ruby|洞窟|どうくつ}}」 (the latter introduced in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]), are used from [[Generation II]] onward.
* In the Japanese version of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, this location is referred to by this name in the game data, but because the location itself does not appear in the games, this name is not visible in-game.
* In the Japanese game Pokémon Stadium Gold and Silver (known in English as [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]), this name is used on the map seen in the {{OBP|Pokédex|Stadium}}.
* From [[Generation III]] onward, this is always used as the name of this location.

==In the games==
Cerulean Cave is home to a wide variety of high-[[level]] [[wild Pokémon]]. {{p|Mewtwo}} inhabits the deepest part of the cave.

The [[Pokémon League]] only permits {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who have entered the [[Hall of Fame]] to enter. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{player}}s must further prove themselves before entering the cave, which is done by completing the quest on [[Sevii Islands]] and restoring the Network Machine of the [[Pokémon Network Center]] to operational status.

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, more Pokémon can be found only by [[fishing]], while there are fewer different species of wild Pokémon found by walking around in the cave.

In [[Generation II]], Cerulean Cave completely collapsed but the leftovers of Mewtwo's presence remain and are found in the lake near the cave, in the form of the item [[Berserk Gene]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cerulean Cave has been rebuilt and Mewtwo can once again be found inside. An [[Non-player character|NPC]] blocks the entrance until the player has obtained all eight Kanto Gym [[Badge]]s (as opposed to defeating the Pokémon League at Indigo Plateau, the requirement in the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen). In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, if Mew is [[Walking Pokémon|brought along]], it will sense Mewtwo's presence and act apprehensive.

===Geography===
[[File:PE Mewtwo scene.png|250px|thumb|Encountering Mewtwo in the cave in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]
Cerulean Cave is a large underground complex of maze-like tunnels which extend out from [[Cerulean City]] to the mountains beyond. With the dark entrance positioned on the outskirts of Cerulean City, only accessible by {{m|surf}}ing down {{rt|24|Kanto}} to the entrance near the northern border of [[Cerulean City]], the [[cave]] has been renowned for its mystery. The entrance to the cave looks like it has been carved out from a hillside, forming an indented entrance into the hill. An [[Non-player character|NPC]] guards the entrance to the cave and only allows {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who own all eight Kanto Gym [[Badge]]s and have entered the [[Hall of Fame]] to enter.

At the deepest point of the cave lives {{p|Mewtwo}}, a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can only be found in Cerulean Cave. Mewtwo was artificially created in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} before it became too powerful and escaped, exiling itself to the cave, never to be seen again.

Cerulean Cave has had many different layouts over time, getting a change from not only one [[generation]] to the next but also from one game release to the next. Despite these changes, the first floor is mostly unaffected and has a large underground lake which covers most of the area. Using the complex of stairs and ladders, Trainers can make their way around the lake and the first floor of the cave. They will reach the upper floor, which has no underground river, but a like maze-like structure formed by large boulders and rocks that must be maneuvered around in order to reach the end. Once Trainers get through the maze formation, they are able to climb the ladders and get around the underground lake on the basement floor, which will lead them straight to a dead end and to Mewtwo.

All hidden items in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! may respawn either daily or more frequently, however at these locations in Cerulean Cave the item that respawns varies.

However, if the player goes down a ladder and goes back up a ladder, the items and their spots will reset.

===Layout===
The layout of the cave has been tweaked several times in the past, particularly in [[Generation I]].

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, it has been restored to the original layout found in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, with the addition of [[breakable rock]]s.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the layout of the first and second floors is based on the equivalent layout from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, while the layout of the basement is based on the respective layout from {{game|Yellow}}. Breakable rocks are also present and {{m|Rock Climb}} surfaces were added.

[[File:Cerulean Cave inside PO.png|thumb|250px|Cerulean Cave's interior in Pokémon Origins]]
Cerulean Cave appeared in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]''. It was first mentioned by {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, who had gone to the cave after hearing rumors of an extremely strong Pokémon living in there. He intended to catch it, but got badly injured while battling it when his {{p|Blastoise}} was sent flying and crashed on top of him. After he had told [[Professor Oak]] and {{OBP|Red|Origins}} about this, Red soon recalled the {{FB|Pokémon Mansion|journals}} he had found at the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} at [[Cinnabar Island]], and understood that the mysterious Pokémon was in fact {{p|Mewtwo}}, an [[artificial Pokémon]] created by enhancing the powers of {{p|Mew}}.

Wanting to help Professor Oak to complete the [[Pokédex]], Red then headed to Cerulean Cave, where he encountered Mewtwo. Being amazingly strong and {{m|Recover|durable}}, Mewtwo was capable of defeating almost all of Red's Pokémon, excluding only his {{TP|Red|Charizard}}. At first, even Charizard was losing, and was sent into the waters of the cave, along with Red. However, Red's [[Key Stone]] and Charizard's [[Mega Stone]] then activated, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] Charizard into Mega Charizard X and making it able to defeat Mewtwo, allowing Red to catch it.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
[[File:Cerulean Cave Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Cerulean Cave in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
Cerulean Cave appeared in ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]'', where {{ga|Trace}} and {{ga|Green}} both entered it in order to find and catch {{p|Mewtwo}}. When Trace's {{p|Pidgeot}} was badly hurt by a swarm of {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Golbat}}, he was forced to give up the race, allowing Green to reach the end of the cave first. There, however, she was upset to find out that {{ga|Elaine}} had managed to catch Mewtwo first, and challenged her to a battle over it. However, despite using her {{me|Blastoise}}, Green was still defeated when Elaine used Mewtwo against her. Green then handed Elaine Mewtwo's [[Mega Stone]]s as a prize and jokingly suggested that she and Mewtwo should become her Pokémon, before leaving.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}====
[[File:Cerulean Cave Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Cerulean Cave in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Cerulean Cave appeared in ''[[PS034|And Mewtwo Too?!]]'' and ''[[PS035|And Mewtwo... Three!]]''. Upon hearing from {{adv|Bill}} about a monster that had caused massive destruction in the northwest sector of Cerulean City, {{adv|Red}} went to investigate Cerulean Cave, where the monster was said to have fled to. Once Red arrived at the cave, he and {{cat|Red's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} were soon caught in a tornado, which seemed to originate from inside the cave. Red and his Pokémon were saved from being blown away by [[Blaine]] and his {{p|Rapidash}}. Blaine explained that the tornado was actually {{m|Psywave}}, a {{type|Psychic}} move capable of both attacking and defending at the same time, and the user of the move was {{adv|Mewtwo}}, the "beast" sighted in Cerulean City.

To Red's horror, Blaine revealed that he, while working as a [[Team Rocket scientists|scientist]] in [[Team Rocket]], had been involved in Mewtwo's creation. Since Team Rocket had been unable to get enough of {{p|Mew}}'s DNA to complete the Genetic Pokémon, Blaine had finished it by using cells from his own arm. In the process, some of Mewtwo's cells ended up in his arm, causing it to be horribly mutatated. This also gave both him and Mewtwo the ability to sense each other's presence. However, the mutated cells in his arm were slowly spreading to the rest of his body, and would eventually kill him. Realizing what kind of an abomination he had created, Blaine had subsequently left Team Rocket.

Blaine was determined to destroy the monster he himself had created, even if it would cost him his life. After putting Red inside of a protective fireball, he and Rapidash charged through the Psywave tornado at Mewtwo, creating a massive explosion. Despite the hit, Mewtwo was still capable of fighting. As Blaine was down for the count, Red tried to battle Mewtwo himself, sending out [[Poli]]. However, Mewtwo easily knocked the Tadpole Pokémon back with a giant spoon it created. Blaine explained that Mewtwo would form its Psywave into a tornado while fighting multiple enemies at once, and into a spoon for a single enemy. This gave Red an idea, and he sent out all of his Pokémon, causing Mewtwo to switch into its tornado tactic again. However, before the tornado got to full power, Red dived into the eye of the storm with [[Aero]], and sent [[Pika]] diving further down into Mewtwo itself, capturing it with the [[Master Ball]] Blaine had given Red just moments earlier. Afterwards, Red gave Mewtwo to Blaine, telling him to teach it the kindness of humans, before heading off to the [[Indigo Plateau]].

==Trivia==
===Cerulean Cave on the map===
In the [[Generation I]] games, Cerulean Cave is only listed in the [[Town Map]] if the player uses this item while inside the cave. However, Cerulean Cave is not listed at all in the Pokémon location map from the [[Pokédex]], likely to keep its existence as a secret until the player beats the game. For instance, {{p|Rhydon}} is only available at the Cerulean Cave in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, but Rhydon's Pokédex map simply says "Area unknown". Similarly, {{p|Golbat}} is available in multiple places including the Cerulean Cave, but only the other places are shown in the Pokédex map.

Cerulean Cave is also absent from the Pokémon location map in the {{OBP|Pokédex|Stadium}} from both the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Stadium]] and {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, but it is present in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. As a result, the player may connect any [[Generation I]] or [[Generation II|II]] [[core series]] game to Pokémon Stadium 2 via [[Transfer Pak]] and check their location in the Pokédex normally, including those Pokémon available in the Cerulean Cave.
