==Sun and Moon== | This is a '''list of glitches in the [[Generation VII]] [[Pokémon games]]'''. | ||
Some glitches are found on a separate page: | |||
* [[List of battle glitches (Generation VII)]] | |||
==Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon== | |||
===All versions=== | |||
====Emoticon display bug==== | |||
[[File:Emoticon display bug.png|thumb|200px|A Pokémon with an affected nickname]] | |||
The emoticons that can be [[Text entry|entered]] in [[nickname]]s and [[Original Trainer]]s in Japanese- and Chinese-language games are displayed incorrectly in the game's main font. For example, a Pokémon nicknamed {{ding|}}{{ding|}}{{ding|}}{{ding|}} (neutral face, happy face, sad face, angry face) in a Japanese-language [[Generation VI]] game will have its name displayed as {{ding|}}{{ding|}}{{ding|}}{{ding|}} (happy face, angry face, sad face, neutral face) in the game's main font when transferred to the Generation VII games. | |||
This does not apply to the small font used for nicknames in battle or the font that was used on the [[Pokémon Global Link]], which display the four characters correctly, or to the equivalent emoticons that can be entered in the English-, French-, Italian-, German-, Spanish-, or Korean-language games, which are displayed correctly. While the affected characters cannot be entered in these languages, nicknames and OTs of Pokémon traded from a Japanese- or Chinese-language will still exhibit the bug. | |||
====Giratina Nectar glitch==== | |||
If a {{p|Giratina}} in its [[Origin Forme]] has its [[Griseous Orb]] swapped for [[Nectar]], it will take various glitched forms depending on the Nectar's color: | |||
* Red Nectar will return it to its [[Altered Forme]]. | |||
* Yellow Nectar will cause it to remain in Origin Forme. | |||
* Pink and Purple Nectar will cause it to take a glitched form with the appearance of its Altered Forme but the cry of a {{p|Rotom}}. | |||
====Thundurus Smart Strike glitch==== | |||
Due to a coding error, {{p|Thundurus}} in its {{form|Thundurus|Therian Forme}} cannot learn {{m|Smart Strike}}, even though it can in its Incarnate Forme. | |||

As a result, Poké Transporter assigns the nickname MR-MIME to unnicknamed Mr. Mime transported from these languages coming from Generation I.

This glitch is in need of research. Reason: USUM details; every non-Poké Transporter related glitch to be checked to see if it still occurs in v1.1 and v1.2 You can discuss this on the talk page. |
This is a list of glitches in the Generation VII Pokémon games.
Some glitches are found on a separate page:
Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon
All versions
Emoticon display bug
The emoticons that can be entered in nicknames and Original Trainers in Japanese- and Chinese-language games are displayed incorrectly in the game's main font. For example, a Pokémon nicknamed (neutral face, happy face, sad face, angry face) in a Japanese-language Generation VI game will have its name displayed as (happy face, angry face, sad face, neutral face) in the game's main font when transferred to the Generation VII games.
This does not apply to the small font used for nicknames in battle or the font that was used on the Pokémon Global Link, which display the four characters correctly, or to the equivalent emoticons that can be entered in the English-, French-, Italian-, German-, Spanish-, or Korean-language games, which are displayed correctly. While the affected characters cannot be entered in these languages, nicknames and OTs of Pokémon traded from a Japanese- or Chinese-language will still exhibit the bug.
Giratina Nectar glitch
If a Giratina in its Origin Forme has its Griseous Orb swapped for Nectar, it will take various glitched forms depending on the Nectar's color:
- Red Nectar will return it to its Altered Forme.
- Yellow Nectar will cause it to remain in Origin Forme.
- Pink and Purple Nectar will cause it to take a glitched form with the appearance of its Altered Forme but the cry of a Rotom.
Thundurus Smart Strike glitch
Due to a coding error, Thundurus in its Therian Forme cannot learn Smart Strike, even though it can in its Incarnate Forme.
Pokémon Sun and Moon
All versions
Aether Paradise crate outline error
On Aether Paradise's B1F, there are two groups of eight crates, to the left and the right of the elevator in the center. If the player stands so that part of their body is visible between the two columns of crates, the player's outline will not be drawn on the part of their body that would be blocked from view "behind" the crates if the columns did not have the gap between them. There is also a discolored line across the player's body on a line that stretches directly across the gap between the tops of the two crates.

Alolan Exeggutor trade glitch
When receiving an Alolan Exeggutor from a trade, the Pokémon's head part can be seen for a split second on the bottom left of the screen after the Poké Ball opens.
Berry tree shadow glitch
In the Poni Wilds, there is a Berry tree off to the far right of the map. When the player walks near this tree, a graphical glitch occurs that causes the shadow under it to briefly flicker.

Graphical glitches
This glitch is in need of research. Reason: What is the cause and trigger? You can discuss this on the talk page. |
Some copies of Sun and Moon have been afflicted by 3D graphical glitches in which players get stuck in the default 3D Modeling "T-Pose", graphical elements stretching and shrinking and other graphical oddities.[1]
| |
This video is not available on Bulbapedia; instead, you can watch the video on YouTube here. |
GTS morphing glitch
The player must first deposit a Pokémon onto the GTS that will not be traded during the period of the glitch. Next, the player will need to use the Seek Pokémon option and look up any Pokémon. Once done, the player will need to select a Pokémon that has already been traded for. Afterwards, the player should view the summary of the deposited Pokémon. This will lead to a visual glitch where the model of the deposited Pokémon is replaced with the model of the Pokémon that was viewed last.

Legality checking false positives
Several features in Pokémon Sun and Moon, such as online trading and Battle Spot, check that a Pokémon is legal before allowing it to be traded or used. However, these checks are imperfect, and often believe legitimate Pokémon to be modified.
- For a brief period of time after the Pokémon Bank update, every Pokémon that can be caught via Island Scan could not be used in Battle Spot or traded on GTS or via Wonder Trade if it had its Hidden Ability, due to the game believing the Pokémon to be illegal.
- For a brief period of time after the Pokémon Bank update, Pokémon caught in a Safari Ball or Dream Ball could not be used on Battle Spot.
- For a brief period of time after the Pokémon Bank update, if a Pokémon whose game of origin is a Generation I Virtual Console game but has been evolved into a List of cross-generational evolution families, the Pokémon is thought to be illegal and thus cannot be used on Battle Spot or traded.
Momentary evolution sprite glitch
The picture used in this section is unsatisfactory. Please feel free to replace it so it conforms to Bulbapedia conventions. Reason: Image of screen |
During an evolution, before the "What? (POKéMON) is evolving!" text appears, the model of the evolved Pokémon may appear for a split second at the top-left corner of the screen. For Pokémon with tall models, it is also possible for the model to appear off the screen.

Pokémon Refresh form cry glitch
This glitch is in need of research. Reason: Checking other Pokémon whose alternate forms have different cries: Giratina, Shaymin, Hoopa You can discuss this on the talk page. |
If a Generation VII Pokémon with an alternate form is chosen to play with in Pokémon Refresh, its first cry will be that of its species' default form, regardless of its own form. However, the rest of the time it will use the correct cry. This is only relevant for Pokémon species which have forms that exist outside of battle that have different cries to their default form.
Oricorio Pom-Pom Style, Pa'u Style, and Sensu Style will all use the cry of Baile Style in this instance. Midnight Form Lycanroc uses the cry of Midday Form in this instance.

TM text glitch
If a Pokémon learns a TM, the TM's bag text will be dark black (as if it never learned the TM) instead of gray (as it should be for Pokémon that already know the move).
Vast Poni Canyon trial site muting glitch
If, at the trial site of Vast Poni Canyon, the player opens a tab on the menu, the background music will be muted for as long as that tab is still open.
Version 1.0 to 1.1 only
Poké Pelago end of month bug
When the date changes to a new month, all activities in Poké Pelago will immediately complete.

Scatterbug Egg Moves glitch
This glitch is in need of research. Reason: Which Vivillon Patterns correspond the Scatterbug being unable to learn Egg Moves You can discuss this on the talk page. |
Prior to version 1.2, depending on the pattern of Vivillon they correspond to, Scatterbug are unable to learn Egg Moves.[2]
Version 1.0 only
Evolution move learning glitch
This glitch is in need of research. Reason: Is it only for Pokémon who learn evolution moves, or for all? You can discuss this on the talk page. |
Immediately after evolution, some Pokémon will not attempt to learn moves they would otherwise learn at that level. This glitch only affects moves that the Pokémon also learn at level 1, but not those always learned upon evolution. For example, Kadabra will not attempt to learn Confusion after evolving at level 16 (but will attempt to learn Kinesis), and Butterfree will not attempt to learn Confusion if evolved at level 11 (but will attempt to learn it after having evolved at level 10).

Version 1.2 only
NPC Egg reset glitch
Sometimes after an Egg hatches, NPCs will stop moving and assume their default position. The glitch ends when the player moves.
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
All versions
Disguised Chef Ditto glitch
If a player talks to the Ditto disguised as a chef in a certain position and defeats or catches the Ditto in the battle, the player's character will block the real chef from moving into position, running in place after reaching the player's position for thirty seconds, then he will stop moving and start talking to the player as if he reached his destination.

Shiny Partner Cap Pikachu
At any point after reaching Akala Island, the player can scan a QR code to access Partner Cap Pikachu from a deliveryman at Pikachu Valley. This Pikachu is intended to never appear as Shiny. However, instead of checking its personality value against the Trainer ID and Secret ID number of Pikachu's Original Trainer to prevent its personality value from making it Shiny, the game uses the player's data instead.
This Pikachu has a TSV of 1009, and as long as the player has a TSV that is not 1009, this Pikachu has a chance of being Shiny.[3] If the player's TSV matches the Pikachu and is also 1009, this Pikachu can never be obtained as Shiny for that player. Shiny Partner Cap Pikachu are identical in appearance to normal Pikachu (aside from playing the typical Shiny sparkle animation upon entering battle), as no Shiny model for Cap Pikachu are programmed into the game.
Silvally Move Tutor glitch
Silvally is programmed to be able to learn all 3 Pledge moves; however, the Move Tutor offers only Grass Pledge, not Fire Pledge or Water Pledge.
This glitch is also present in the core series Generation VIII games.
All versions (French)
Wrong pronoun used for player
While playing the game in French, during the conversation after Mallow's trial, Lana's line «Et elle n'a fait qu'une bouchée de Tarenbulle...» (her corresponding line in the English localization is “Nor did the Araquanid that I had trained so carefully”) always uses the pronoun elle even if the chosen player character is male.
Version 1.0 only
These glitches were fixed in version 1.1.
Litten crash glitch
If the player picks Litten as their first partner Pokémon, the game may freeze after the cutscene where player chose the aforementioned first partner ends for an unknown reason.
Move Tutor overwriting glitch
When the player teaches a move to a Pokémon that knows fewer than four moves using a Move Tutor, its first move will be overwritten by the newly learnt move, instead of the move filling an empty move slot.

Poké Transporter
Poké Transporter name encoding glitch
If a Pokémon's in-game species name was changed between Generation I or Generation II and Generation VII, Poké Transporter will mistakenly assume that these Pokémon are nicknamed upon being transported.
French
This glitch is in need of research. Reason: Confirm every Pokémon this occurs for (full potential list for French) You can discuss this on the talk page. |
Some Generation I Pokémon include diacritics (such as "é") or the ligature œ in their French names, but the Generation I games do not use these special characters in Pokémon's names. If sent through Poké Transporter, the name of the Pokémon will be considered a nickname; it will not adjust to using lower case letters and will not change upon evolution.
- Pokémon affected
Pokémon | French name | |
---|---|---|
Gen I | Gen VII | |
Charmander | SALAMECHE | Salamèche |
Clefairy | MELOFEE | Mélofée |
Clefable | MELODELFE | Mélodelfe |
Exeggcute | NOEUNOEUF | Nœunœuf |
Ditto | METAMORPH | Métamorph |
Eevee | EVOLI | Évoli |
Mr. Mime
In Generation I and Generation II, in English, Italian, and Spanish, Mr. Mime does not have a space in its name. Additionally, in Generation I the point in Mr. Mime's name in these games is the decimal point (codepoint 0xF2
) rather than the period (codepoint 0xE8
) which can be entered in nicknames; Poké Transporter interprets the decimal point as a hyphen, but correctly interprets the period. As a result, Poké Transporter assigns the nickname MR-MIME to unnicknamed Mr. Mime transported from these languages coming from Generation I. For unnicknamed Mr. Mime transported from Generation II, the nickname MR.MIME will be assigned instead.
Poké Transporter name shift glitch
If a player attempts to transfer MissingNo., 'M (00) or another glitch Pokémon to Pokémon Bank from the 3DS Virtual Console versions of Red, Blue and Yellow, the software will not transfer it, but each Pokémon after it will have its nickname, original Trainer, and Trainer ID number changed to the nickname, original Trainer, and Trainer ID number of the Pokémon before it.
While Poké Transporter normally changes fully capitalized species names to regular capitalization (e.g. ALAKAZAM to Alakazam), because the shifted names are treated as nicknames, if the name is not the Pokémon's species name the name's capitalization will not be changed. Because glitch Pokémon often have characters in their names that cannot be entered when entering a nickname, such characters will be replaced by a space.
