Interesting, that's great! How did you obtain it? Was it simply by talking to him after doing the corruption or did you have to do something else?

I don't know if the Eon Ticket was the only thing you could get with Mystery Events. Bulbapedia doesn't have much information about it.

It looks like you fought a trainer named "      " and you had a draw against him ?384 times according to these "Battle Results" records

Is it just me or ?384 looks like 16384 (2¹⁴)

Messing around with this a bit more, trying to come up with some sort of route for a consistent speedrun at the moment. Came across something I hadn't seen before though…

Turned a castform into a regular Bad Egg, nothing much interesting. But when I went back to Route 119, when I go down far enough from Fortress that the Rain is meant to start, the game just froze up and I couldn't move. Not sure what made that happen, but the fact that it had overworld effects without actually looking at the Pokemon is promising I guess?

Good news: Today I've found out that it is possible to transfer Pokémon with glitch moves to Ruby and Sapphire.
Bad news: You need Pokémon Box: Ruby and Sapphire for the GameCube in order to do so. Attempting to trade from cartridge to cartridge will result in the game crashing as the "Is this trade OK?" message loads.  :P

By taking a Smeargle with the Unonkaana move into Box: R/S from Emerald and from there into Sapphire, I was able to experiment with the glitch move a little bit. It functions differently to how it does in Emerald in a number of ways, though none of them particularly interesting.

As the cursor scrolls over R/S Unonkaana, the game music goes off-key for a fraction of a second. Red patches and square patterns appear on the screen just like with other R/S glitch moves. Entering a contest with R/S Unonkaana will crash the game when it comes to your turn.

Same as in Emerald, R/S Unonkaana changes the battle style once the 'Fight' menu is opened. Here, it becomes a normal, single trainer battle. Defeating a wild Pokémon after this means that you have beaten "PKMN Trainer", who has your character's sprite, with 0 Pokédollars for winning.

If used in a double battle, the Pokémon will cram themselves into the field as it has been 'compressed' into a single battle. Kinda like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLO9UN-ytkE

I have a few other glitch moves I could also test out. I might find something interesting, but seeing as this process requires a glitcher to possess the esoteric Pokémon Box: Ruby and Sapphire, it would ultimately be only hypothetical for most people.  :P

Well, you're right…it shouldn't take that many tries.  :???:

You have done the procedure correctly, but there are some small slip-ups that could still happen. Your Seasor's EXP gained may not be suitable for the experience->growth transformation. I don't know what specific values are suitable and which aren't, but if you post that here someone will be able to tell you.

Aside from that, it's possible that you've made other mistakes without noticing. It's worth checking that the Seasor you've cloned hasn't been corrupted before. It sounds silly, but last week I tried 25 times to turn my Dots Nuzleaf into a Celebi, but I later found out that the Dots I was using had its markings altered, a sure sign that I had messed with it previously. This would have changed aspects of its data, possibly including the personality value, making it unsuitable for transformation.

The only other thing I can think of is that, when EV training your Seasor, you may have let Pokérus spread to it unbeknownst to you. This would mean that when Seasor is transformed, the Pokémon in the Egg would not be a Celebi because the EVs you'd given it would be higher than 251. Then again, it seems as though you didn't get an Egg at any point.

If I were you, I think the best thing to do at this stage would be to start over. If you have a cloned copy of the original Seasor without any alterations, I'd recommend re-distributing its EVs and cloning it again. This may sound defeatist and a daunting proposition given how much time you have already devoted, but seeing as you understand the process fully and have done it before, I feel it's the best course of action in this circumstance.

There's one other thing I might add, if you are willing to restart your set-up. So far, every reported successful instance of Glitzer Popping via EVs has left the valid Egg in one specific spot: Slot 23 of Box 2. (Where top-right corner=6th and bottom-left corner=25th.) Therefore, it would be possible to skip the cloning process in your case, given that your Celebi Egg will be found there.

Best of luck, and report back with any further questions.  :)

A question unrelated to my issue: since Box 2, slot 23 is the one to check, couldn't you put the Pokemon only there? Do we really need to fill the first Box/most of the second one?
