The bad clone glitch is the parent glitch of many glitches possible through a ????? in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal. It involves first obtaining a bad clone and then using it for glitches such as ????? party overloading or Time Capsule exploit.
Obtaining a bad clone
In order to get a bad clone you should deposit more Pokémon than you have ever deposited in a box (and at least 5 or so), then change boxes and reset the game shortly after the Yes/No box disappears (Gold/Silver) or after SAVING... DON'T TURN OFF THE POWER. is fully printed (Crystal).
Getting a bad clone can normally be very difficult without Pokémon Stadium 2, but Pokémon Stadium 2's Game Boy Tower makes it a lot easier if you reset the game after the "Saving..." message appears at one of the aforementioned moments.
Another way to get a bad clone in BGB emulator in Pokémon Crystal is to do it with five Pokémon, set a breakpoint for de=AD11, advance the frame with F7 and then reset the game.
To identify a bad clone, the bad clone may be female with a glitched name and become level 1 after you withdraw it from the PC. Contrary to the belief of some, if the original Pokémon was female it is still possible for the bad clone to be female (not male), although it is a good idea to use a male Pokémon in order to more easily identify a bad clone in case there are other male Pokémon in the box.
Exploits
The bad clone (a hybrid between a Pokémon and a ????? 00) can be taken into the Day Care and out to become a ????? 00.
Furthermore, using the ????? party overloading trick will allow the player to perform various glitches, including:
- Celebi trick, Celebi Egg trick, Shiny Celebi trick, etc. (a result of removing an FF terminator from the party and performing data shifts).
- Converting a ????? 00 into a ????? FF for use with the Time Capsule exploit.
- ????? map corruption
- Obtaining Glitch Unown
