The Pokemon Scarlet and Purple cheat that allows you to clone Pokemon (including legendary and shiny) that may be gone very soon

The expected Pokemon Scarlet and Purple They are already available in stores. It seemed like a dream, but we can finally enjoy two games in the saga set in Spain, and they are also the best main installments in a long time.

Both pokemon are the most reserved in the entire history of the franchise, and with each passing day their sales increase in Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States or Spain. They are on their way to becoming real super hits.

Beyond the quality of both games, the truth is that they have numerous bugs and visual errors. Some are hilarious (here you can see a compilation of the funniest), while others tarnish the gaming experience.

Also there are some glitches and tricks to take advantage of the situation. We have already told you about the trick to move the character faster (using a second controller), and now we are talking about cloning.

It is not the first time that it can be cloned in a Pokémon game (it already happened with Gold and Silver more than 20 years ago). In Pokémon Scarlet and Purple we can even clone Miraidon and Koraidon.

Clone the legendaries and duplicate the appearance of shiny

you already know that capture shiny pokemon (alternative versions) is more complicated than it seems. It is really difficult to find one, but thanks to this trick you can get a good handful of shiny Pokémon.

Sure, it is very possible that this exploit will be removed very soon, although Nintendo has not yet announced a patch for Pokémon Scarlet and Purple. Hurry up if you want to take advantage of it.

Basically, it consists of capturing a shiny Pokémon and, through a few simple steps, make the game spawn another one in the same place where we captured it before… and so on. he explains it Austin John Plays.

The first thing we need is to find a shiny Pokémon. Once captured, you must go to any city in Paldeasave as soon as you enter and close the game (only areas without a previous loading screen are valid).

When you restart the game, return to the location where you captured the shiny Pokémon and you will see that it is there again. In addition, you still have the captured specimen in your team.

This trick can be repeated as many times as you want. The difficulty lies in finding a shiny Pokémon on your own, but once you’ve done that you can duplicate it over and over again.

Likewise, Japanese players of Pokémon Scarlet and Purple have discovered a trick to clone the iconic legendaries of these games: Miraidon and Koraidon.

To be able to do it you must have finished the main story of Paldea, and meet you in the post game. This will allow you to switch between combat mode and mount mode with Miraidon and Koraidon.

Follow these steps:

1. Activate combat mode with your legendary (Koraidon or Miraidon, depending on the game you have).
2. Place it in the first position of your team. It is mandatory to have 6 Pokémon in the team.
3. Catch any wild Pokémon, then add them directly to your team.
4. Right at that moment, you must press the A and B buttons at the same time, several times. It may not work the first time, so repeat it several times.
5. You will verify that the cheat works if the game asks if you want to send the item to the box on your PC. Now change the mode of your Legendary to Mount.
6. Enter the storage boxes on your PC and you will see that you have cloned your legendary Pokémon (it will be found in the box, replacing the Pokémon you just captured).
