List of glitches in spin-off games
This is a list of glitches that occur in spin-off Pokémon games.
In Pokémon Play It!
Bench glitch
It is not possible to put Pokémon on the Bench before the play starts. Instead, players must wait for their first turn to put Pokémon on the Bench. This was fixed in Pokémon Play It! v2.
Magmar Flamethrower glitch
No Energy card is discarded from Magmar when using the Flamethrower attack. This was fixed in Pokémon Play It! v2.
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team
Dungeon shop glitch
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, by placing an item on the carpet and quicksaving the game, after the game is restarted Kecleon will continue to think that the item has been sold recently and will pay the sell price every time he is spoken to.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness
False thief glitch
In Explorers of Time and Darkness, if a wild Pokémon is knocked out on a Kecleon shop and drops an item, the item is picked up like usual, but this will be considered as stealing. Even talking to Kecleon before leaving the shop won't do anything, as it wasn't set as a Kecleon shop item.
Member join glitch
If the player completes a job with a reward listed as ???, it means that the player will either receive an Egg, the client will join the exploration team, or—in the case of Magnezone and Magnemite when Chansey already has an Egg—receive 1000 Poké. If one of these jobs is completed before they player can recruit new members, the game will half freeze after the text: "Thank you for rescuing <Pokémon>!" However, the background music will stay an infinite loop.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Teams and Explorers of Time and Darkness
Kecleon team member glitch
A glitch in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness that allows the player to make Kecleon act as if it were part of the team without recruiting it. It is not present in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. It is not actually part of the team, only behaving as part of it, so it will not follow the team onto the next floor.
If Kecleon is attacked by a wild Pokémon, Kecleon will attack the Pokémon who attacked it. After this Pokémon has fainted, Kecleon will act as if it were a team member for that floor. However, it is not actually a team member, so Kecleon will disappear once the team goes to the next floor.
Wild Pokémon will not usually attack Kecleon, but can be forced by using a Pass Scarf to pass their attacks on.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity
Level up glitch
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity there is a level up glitch where the partner Pokémon levels up suddenly without an enemy being defeated or an item being used.
In this particular instance at the very start of a dungeon, Pikachu levels up to level 12 prior to any Pokémon being defeated, and the Foongus is still there. There is no message of a KO of a Pokémon or experience points gained. Instead there's only a sudden level up message and level up sound effect. The Pokémon is attacked again and is finally defeated. Unlike with the new game feature where Pokémon that gained experience when not in the previous dungeon level up in the next dungeon, Pikachu was in the previous dungeon and so couldn't have any extra experience points to make it level up immediately in the following dungeon.
