- Item mutation/item duplication.

The last one sounds very interesting. Let's try it!

[size=12pt]Pokemon Emerald: Item duplication glitch:[/size]

1. Do the standard setup to access the Pokemon beyond the sixth slot. It was described a thousand times already.
2. Once you get to the part with the half-lit cancel button, get yourself a stopwatch.
3. Start holding up and start the stopwatch at the same time.
4. Once the stopwatch gets to 17 seconds, press the B button.
5. Check your bag and hope something valuable got duplicated.

A small problem with this glitch is that in some cases it will delete everything in TM or Berries pockets. However, it does not occur every time, so at this point it's just trial and error.
One iteration of this method usually duplicates about 5 items, both in bag and in the PC.

The only problem with that method is, on a real GBA/DS, you have to mash the "up" button for the game to scroll the cursor, unlike VBA, where it allows you to simply hold the up key.

Congrats on finding arbitrary code though :)!

Huh, is that really true? I haven't performed the Pokémon beyond the sixth slot glitch on a real GBA, but when I do scrolling from a normal party screen in battle with my GBA SP running a UK Emerald the game won't scroll up anymore for a bit (for like a fraction of a second) but the scrolling through holding up will happen. This same thing seems to happen on VBA.

The initial scrolling delay depends on the number of Pokémon there are on the list, with less than 6 being shorter.

Someone posted a really good idea in relation to getting a consistent PID of Pokemon. Use one of the ones from the in game trades, because they are consistent.

Seedot - PID of 0x00000084 (132) - Trade for Ralts at Rustboro
Plusle - PID of 0x0000006F (111) - Trade for Volbeat at Fortree
Horsea - PID of 0x0000007F (127) - Trade for Bagon on Pacifidlog
Meowth - PID of 0x0000008B (139) - Trade for Skitty at Battle Frontier

They are all exceptionally low. It also occurs to me that Emerald has very abused RNG mechanics, as it always starts from the same point after a hard reset. Because of this, you could with some accuracy be able to get the Personality value you wanted just by waiting the right amount of time before it's generated (this would be easiest with a gift Pokemon, like say Beldum)

Meowth:

*Meowth can work for EV & Condition data being read as attack data (any move trick)
*Meowth can work for attack data being read as growth data (any Pokémon up to Minun provided you have the right moves trick)
*For the Meowth, any Pokémon trick via EVs is not possible.

So in conclusion, we should use the Seedot or Horsea you get in a trade if we want any Pokémon. Let me know if I'm missing something important regarding how the glitch works.

Pardon me if I am wrong, as EVs and IVs confuse me, but aren't EVs for traded Pokémon constant?

Also, I think you made a minor mistake here:

Meowth:

*Meowth can work for EV & Condition data being read as attack data (any move trick)
*Meowth can work for attack data being read as growth data (any Pokémon up to Minun provided you have the right moves trick)
*For the Meowth, any Pokémon trick via EVs is not possible.

Shouldn't it be "For the Meowth, and Pokémon trick via moves is not possible"?

Just want to put a reminder here that the low 16 bits of the PID can't change, as that'll definitely mess up the checksum.

What do you mean by low 16 bits? There are 16 bits in the whole PID because it is four bytes. Do you mean the first 8 bits?

Is the process any different when already-corrupted Pokémon are corrupted again? Could that lead to further branches of outcomes, or would it revert to another of the original outcomes?

Now. I heard you can try the cloning glitch in a different way to remove Pokémon, including Bad EGGs. Can anyone write the step by step instructions here, or upload a video if this is true, please?

Withdrawing a Pokémon from the PC clones it; depositing it into the PC deletes it.

So in other words, have the Pokémon you wish to delete in your party at your last save point, and in the PC when you talk to the Multi Battle woman.

I remember hearing long ago of a guy I knew deleting his Rayquaza this way by mistake in an attempt to clone it.  :XD:

I suppose it would make sense that Bad Eggs couldn't get messed with much further… :P
