I remember I would spend HOURS trying to clone and trade pokemon. After that I would breed moves on eggs. Eventually I finally started in crystal with Pichu, Larvitar, cyndaquil, chickorita, totodile, and abra. I loved that team :)
sigh i remember playing this on my gameboy color....i did this cheat approxiamtely 2000 times to get all my fav pokemon to 100 duplicating rare candys xD,nothing bad ever happened
I remember using this trick to build an army of 6 Blisseys' to fight someone in school in the 7th grade. When he got to the 2nd or 3rd Blissey in our game boy match he disconnected and ripped his link cables out of my gameboy
Is this possible also without a full team of 6 pokemon with you? I just have 21 pokemons right now and I can't clone my totodile. I remember doing this like 20 years ago, now it might doesn't work because of the little amount of pokemons I have... I'll try with a full squad I guess
Update: you can't clone your pokemons until you get more than 30 pokemons. Then Bill will call you and tell you about the switching-box thing. From there on it started working again
I remember doing this way back when i was a kid. I didn't know about the unoccupied box when duping and lost my ho-oh late into the game. man was i pissed that i had to start over to get him again
@@wertyuser798 no it's the second half of gen 2. You start in Johto then go to Kanto for the other eight gyms. When you meet Oak again he offers you a gen 1 starter.
Can someone explain to me why this isn't working, I've tried everything, doing it on virtual console, Crystal and Gold, but it isn't working, I've followed multiple videos but it still isn't working, what am I doing wrong?
Boy, do I remember a time when I first had this game, my friend told me how to do it, and then I fucked it up and lost my pokemon and the Master Ball it was holding.
A word of warning, make sure you do this right; because if you don't, you can lose your Pokemon or get a bad clones. Bad clones are fun if you like glitches, but not so fun if you want to keep the Pokemon you cloned and use it.
@ninjameid11 Johto u can pick a starter then trade to get the other 2 or do the 3 starter cheat and the kanto u have to trade for them from blue, red, yellow
awesome! I'll try duplicating my moon stone and hope it doesn't screw up my game.... Since it's a pain in the butt trying to complete the pokedex when the Red,Blue,Yellow & Silver versions, a second gameboy color and gamelink cable are a rarity these days without going through amazon or to a game store when I have travel problems. (don't have a car)
Used to do this to duplicate rare candies and master balls. I then tried it on crystal version and it worked a couple of times, but eventually it stopped working and my fonts were kind of glitchy. I accidentally banged the game against the wall and got a bunch of free stuff too.
There's still a patch of white paint mixed in with deep gashes on my teal gameboy color from when I got frustrated trying to catch Ho-oh. I threw it at the wall inside my house. Ah, memories. lol
can you breed any two bad clones with target index move for lets say .. zapdos or mewtwo in pos.3 and pound in pos 1 will the egg be the desired pokemon ?
Do you want an educated guess? The game's data saves the party list last, so when you put a pokemon in the box, and switch boxes, the save overwrites the PC data with the pokemon you inserted, but fails to overwrite your party list in time. I think this is because the fidelity of data was much more focused on the PC boxes, since losing a collection of pokemon in a "gotta catch em all" game would REALLY piss people off.
I tried doing this on my crystal ( I know its a little different) couldn't get it to work and it deleted my master ball and extra fail shiny Charmander, played through my gold where I last left off at gym 4 and got the master ball again and did this first try. Thank you
I did this on my 3DS (with the actual gen 2 Pokemon crystal being played and emulated on it) and when I went to withdrawal the Pokemon its name showed up as a screen of question marks, like filling up 3/4 the screen. I'm afraid to withdrawal it lol.
Pokémon crystal it’s way harder to do this glitch and when you pick up the Pokémon, it might not even be the Pokémon you cloned. When you pick it up, the game crashes and the box becomes unusable. My brother did it on his actual Pokémon crystal cartridge since he tried cloning Raikou. But instead he got a red kingdra that he couldn’t use
Are you sure that u put the pokemon u wanted to duplicate into an empty box?....and u have to make sure that u turn off your game as soon as it says saving dont turn off the power
= =firstly i tot what pokemon also can... then i tried to put the item on my pokemon ENTEI .. but it may not worked .. then i try change the same pokemon as you... it worked .. but my ENTEI is gone .... = =
@simoom101 - Honestly, I don't really know what I did. :\ I know my timing was slightly off for "turning off the power" but I'm not quite sure on the specifics. Besides- there are "good" bad clones which can be used for cheats and move swaps and such, and there are bad clones that are just kinda bad- or fun to mess with. Either way, I've seen some tutuorials on the "good" bad clones on RUclips- you should start there. :> If you're having trouble, I can help you find a vid.
Kids today dont know how good they have it lol when i was a kid we didnt have the internet. So we either had to figure it out for ourselves or know someone that knew how to do it.
thanx alot i tired duplicating a metal coat with my hoot hoot and i ended up losing the pokemon and the metal coat so now i cant eveolve both my scyther and onix i cant even evolve 1
lol i remember doing this years ago (and i mean like 3-4 years ago) when i still played this game, the limit is 3 times, then it doesnt crash your game, the duplicate just stops working.
does this work when your playing pokemon gold on iphone 6.s because I have tried to use this video but its not working on my iphone just a little help please ??
Not a great video, but Thankfully it’s written out.. If using an Emulator, it should work if you pick the ‘Reset’ option (just did it on my 3DS with DSTwo flash card, emulator & rom). Exit or ‘Exit without save’ probably wont work, since it will just load the game on the last screen you had open. If trying this for the first time, DONT pick your 1 Ho Oh and Master Ball.. 🙄catch some junk pokemon and try it with cheap items that are easy to buy again. When you verify that it works, go ahead with the rare stuff. Nice way to get all the Eeveelutions.
FINALLY THE VIDEO THAT DESCRIBED MY CHILDHOOD
He'll YEA I DID IT WITH RARE CANDYS AND MASTER BALLS LOL
I remember I would spend HOURS trying to clone and trade pokemon. After that I would breed moves on eggs. Eventually I finally started in crystal with Pichu, Larvitar, cyndaquil, chickorita, totodile, and abra.
I loved that team :)
will this work if I save pokemon and start a new game?
@@thankyoujodi no
This video just sent chills down my spine. ♥️ Pokémon will always have a place in my heart no matter how old I get.
sigh i remember playing this on my gameboy color....i did this cheat approxiamtely 2000 times to get all my fav pokemon to 100 duplicating rare candys xD,nothing bad ever happened
I spent hours just pacing around in the backyard doing this. In the summer, walking barefoot on the warm, sunlit grass. About 20 years ago now.

You could also Trade for it but i understand why, who would want to trade there Ho-Oh when it the only one in the entire game.
So many memories, I dont remember how I found this out but man I use to abuse it.
how did u get a venusuar?
Its gold silver you can get it post game I think
You can't. You have to trade from Gen 1 games or use glitches such ad the celebi egg glitch or ACE. Same with mewtwo, mew, the fossils, you name it.
@@wertyuser798 no it's the second half of gen 2. You start in Johto then go to Kanto for the other eight gyms. When you meet Oak again he offers you a gen 1 starter.
are u using a emulator or an actual gameboy?
Does doing the start select a b restart work the same way?
If I duplicate Lugia many times, can I transfer all of them into bank, then into home?
Yep, this works! I have like 16 Ho-Oh in home from my silver version!
@@SnowboardinNinja thank you so much i've been waiting for years
Can someone explain to me why this isn't working, I've tried everything, doing it on virtual console, Crystal and Gold, but it isn't working, I've followed multiple videos but it still isn't working, what am I doing wrong?
right as the period shows up, reset your GBC/Game
I can't seem to make it work on my cyrstal version on my 3ds. Does it only work on an actual gameboy console?
@bananaz246 u should be able to do an in-game save, what emulator do you have cuz you should be able to save in the menu and save a state
@bananaz246 yea it will work, u just have to end rom or close the window when u shut off the game
Are you sure it works for rom?
@5nake7 Thanks but my problem is that the emulator isnt letting me save in-game. Do you know how I can change the save type so that it will let me?
Boy, do I remember a time when I first had this game, my friend told me how to do it, and then I fucked it up and lost my pokemon and the Master Ball it was holding.
A word of warning, make sure you do this right; because if you don't, you can lose your Pokemon or get a bad clones.
Bad clones are fun if you like glitches, but not so fun if you want to keep the Pokemon you cloned and use it.
Never happened to me. But I always shut it off at this point: "saving, don't turn off the po"
Side note to whoever may concern: This doesnt work on repro carts. It just delete the save data, sadly.
What is repro carts? Is that like a refurbished game cartridge?
@@TomFoolery0077 No. Reproduction Cartridges. You can find more using Google :D
@ninjameid11 Johto u can pick a starter then trade to get the other 2 or do the 3 starter cheat and the kanto u have to trade for them from blue, red, yellow
Does a soft reset work or does it have to be a hard reset?
Does the glitch work on the 3DS virtual console games?
Andre Fricke Yeah I Done it actually many glitches does!
Look im playing in the gameboy but i cant clone items or pokemons do we have to get all the badges or do we have to beat elite four?
Trying to get mine to save but appear on a new start game. Does that work?
Then It's exactly the same to duplicate an item?And can I do it multiple times?
awesome! I'll try duplicating my moon stone and hope it doesn't screw up my game....
Since it's a pain in the butt trying to complete the pokedex when the Red,Blue,Yellow & Silver versions, a second gameboy color and gamelink cable are a rarity these days without going through amazon or to a game store when I have travel problems. (don't have a car)
How do you reset with a gameboy?
Did this for hours to give friends my pokemon clones and get myself extra Master Balls. The good old days for sure
i got a question can you duplicate Pokemon in a bootleg gold or silver game?
No, it just resetted my game lol.
Used to do this to duplicate rare candies and master balls.
I then tried it on crystal version and it worked a couple of times, but eventually it stopped working and my fonts were kind of glitchy. I accidentally banged the game against the wall and got a bunch of free stuff too.
"Accidentally"
lol
There's still a patch of white paint mixed in with deep gashes on my teal gameboy color from when I got frustrated trying to catch Ho-oh. I threw it at the wall inside my house. Ah, memories. lol
i got them from the blue version then traded them over to my gold version
can you breed any two bad clones with target index move for lets say .. zapdos or mewtwo in pos.3 and pound in pos 1 will the egg be the desired pokemon ?
and come with a masterball without any problem
My brother used to do this and send the pokemon to ultra sun. Got some impossible pokemon there and traded em for some nice shinies. Very nice
How does this glitch work though?
(I am not taking about how to do this glitch)
Do you want an educated guess?

I’m doing everything and it isn’t working for me! D:
If I want to copy a starter pokemon into an existing file, can I start a new game, use this trick, then continue my old game?
yo how did u get Blastoise and venusaur?!?
Oh, an /empty/ box.
That explains how I got my demon glitch Pokes. X3
Thanks for the video, I actually forgot how to do this.
Can confirm that this even works on the 3DS downloaded versions of these games.
Can comfirm it works on virtual console
is it true that doing the cheat multiple times breaks the game? makeing the file erase itself everytime you turn the game off?
hey do you reakon it will work on my phone????i downloaded on to my mobile and tryd it, but nothing????? can you help??????
I tried doing this on my crystal ( I know its a little different) couldn't get it to work and it deleted my master ball and extra fail shiny Charmander, played through my gold where I last left off at gym 4 and got the master ball again and did this first try. Thank you
I read that this glitch does not work in crystal version.
@@ghost245353 It does but you gotta get the timing just right, but it's so much easier on Gold and Silver
How do you have Blastoise and Venusaur on Gold??
in duplucating items, is it possible to duplicate stones?

Is it pokemon gold or silver?

This does NOT work for emulators like eclipse, just a heads up
will this work even if i am playing with an emulator???
i remember the day i discovered this glitch! I was so happy, unlimited masterballs and legendaries, trading good mons to my friends... good old days!

You can also stack this duplication
this CAN also be done on crystal version contrary to popular belief.
All the Pokemon videos I see no one ever talks about this this is how I got rare candies and master balls
Kids today dont know how good they have it lol when i was a kid we didnt have the internet. So we either had to figure it out for ourselves or know someone that knew how to do it.
how can i do this for a online game.. lol I play it online and it doesn't let you save unless you save it from the website... ugh =[
I can't duplicate my masterball I've tried to do it but it never works
thanx alot i tired duplicating a metal coat with my hoot hoot and i ended up losing the pokemon and the metal coat so now i cant eveolve both my scyther and onix i cant even evolve 1
by turn off game does he mean take out cartridge or what
Turn off the Gameboy?? How is it hard to understand?
Yeah what does it mean
@@xqwerty4011 you just turn the power switch off. Then turn it back on. You keep the cartridge in at all times.
I lost my entire party because i forgot to save at the pc
lol i remember doing this years ago (and i mean like 3-4 years ago) when i still played this game, the limit is 3 times, then it doesnt crash your game, the duplicate just stops working.
The greatest game glitch......ever
i got em from blue
Does it work for Pokémon gold of the virtual console?
Pro tip you can do the whole party in 1 save
I just lost my lvl 5 recently bred shiny aerodactyl, lapras and houndour... :(
Years ago when I did this, the game 'Ate' my new Eevee. I raged so hard...
oh he transfered pokemon red or blue pokemon to this one with a gameboy cable
this is awesome.But work on your grammar bro!!thanks!!
I found it out as a kid by a dead battery in that moment
After many successful clones I lost one Pokémon....chansey -.-
does this work when your playing pokemon gold on iphone 6.s because I have tried to use this video but its not working on my iphone just a little help please ??
this does not work for my rom. ive tried. when i close my rom it stays where i last closed it even when i dont save my progress
I remember when I was a child and my Meganium died because this D:

@5nake7 yeah its weird....im not sure but i got it from thepirtatebayorg.... well thanks anyways though :)
It didn't work for me?!!

me and my next door neighbor who had silver lol i loved my yellow gameboy color
wtf...i can only duplicate the pokemon but not the master ball....
ive done that but i lost my silver version(i now have platinum)
that is the truth, i lost all my save data and now it wont save anymore :.(
You can get all the starters on yellow >.>
ah yes full team of starters
Oof lost my save on my gameboy doing this, lucky i wasnt too far in was only trying to dupe my starter for trading
It works... like to clone items or legendary or pokemon... cool...
yeah i did the same exact thing as you. didnt work
you deleted my charizard
This got my first Pokemon Silver save lost.
Even works on the emulator!
