GTS morphing glitch (Generation IV)

  • REDIRECT Template:Badimage
    More research is needed for this article.


    Reason given: Document more effects of it. Can a Glitch Pokémon evolve if its sprite and name are "stable" enough? Are there many glitch cries available for Glitch Pokémon? List Glitch Type Sprites that could cause interesting effects. Study the causes and effects of the corruption of the PC Pokémon Selection in Fr/Lg. Test again the effect of Pokédex entries of Glitch Pokémon.





    The GTS morphing glitch referred to instances in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl when a Pokémon found through the 'Seek Pokémon' option of the Global Trade System (now impossible to access in Generation IV due to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection being discontinued from May 20th 2014) is displayed as the wrong Pokémon, with the picture of another Pokémon and often a nickname of that Pokémon. It does not change the original species name of that Pokémon however, resulting in many reports of players seeing Pokémon like a Mew with the nickname and picture of 'TORTERRA'.

    The cause of this glitch is unknown.
