List of glitches (Generation IV): Difference between revisions

If the player saves the game whilst on top of Barry, as the game begins to save Barry's sprite will be brought forward and will stand on top of the player's.

===Barry rematch oversight===

When talking to the {{tc|Hiker}} at [[Jubilife TV]] who allows {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to be dressed up, if a button on the D-pad is pressed so that the player is facing away from the Hiker just before the screen to select which Pokémon will be dressed up opens, the player will not walk on the set path; this can lead to walking through walls or the Hiker, or canceling the action altogether.

===Egg determination glitch===

This glitch requires a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and an {{pkmn|Egg}} in the same spot of adjacent boxes on the [[Pokémon Storage System]]. By having the cursor on the Pokémon in one box, pressing the '''L''' or '''R''' buttons to switch boxes as the display is rolling over to the next piece of data will allow the player to see the [[held item]] (always none), [[Nature]], [[Ability]], or [[type]] of the Pokémon inside an Egg.

===Friendship underflow glitch===

This occurs whenever the player uses {{m|Sweet Scent}} or [[Honey]] in a [[Poké Mart]]. Talking to the clerk and selecting the "BUY" menu will yield blank text for the names or descriptions for any of the [[item]]s in stock. Accessing the "SELL" menu will correct the glitch.

===Protection bypass glitch===

If the player goes onto [[Spring Path]] off {{rt|214|Sinnoh}}, the music changes. When viewing the details of a [[TM]] or [[HM]] in the [[Bag]], if the Bag is closed and the player returns to Route 214, there will be no music. Sound effects such as collision sounds still occur and encountering a [[wild Pokémon]] will still play ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection|Battle! (Wild Pokémon)]]'' as expected. The same glitch can also be activated by changing the music using the [[bicycle]].

===Slow Start oversight===

* For these circumstances to occur 'naturally', the player would have to give the wild Starly at least six turns to attack, and on average twelve. (Any Chimchar will always outspeed any Starly under the battle circumstances.)

===Sticky Hold/Suction Cups bug===

If the player achieves a 20 {{pkmn|battle}} streak in the {{si|Battle Tower}} and battles {{tc|Tower Tycoon}} [[Palmer]] by choosing the option "REST" and then the option "NO" instead of choosing the option "KEEP GOING", a normal {{pkmn|Trainer}} will appear instead; with the same roster of the Tower Tycoon. This corrupted Trainer data also yields the otherwise unused dialogue "Now come! Show me, the Tower Tycoon, what you're really made of!" Defeating the Trainer will grant the player 1 BP instead of the normal 20 BP.

===U-turn Choice glitch===

If {{m|U-turn}} is used to change to a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} holding a {{cat|Choice items|Choice item}} that also knows the move U-turn, that Pokémon will be forced to use U-turn despite not having used a move.

==Platinum==

Going [[The Underground|underground]] on {{rt|227|Sinnoh}} between {{rt|226|Sinnoh}} and the horizontal row with the first patch of [[tall grass]], then coming back up will cause the player to be partly in the ground. Leaving this area causes the player to return to normal.

===Trapping Ability flee glitch===

If the [[menu]] is opened while the [[walking Pokémon]] jumps off a [[ledge]] and the player checks the status screen of any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[party]], the Pokémon will get a bit higher up, so viewing the stats of a Pokémon continuously will result in the Pokémon going off-screen.

==Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver==

If the player uses {{m|Baton Pass}} to pass a {{m|Substitute}} on to an {{p|Arceus}} holding a [[Plate]], it will appear invisible after coming out. If the same Arceus then uses an attack which does not deal damage, the game will freeze after the animation has finished.

===Collision errors===
