In the older buildsrevisions for the Japanese versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a player can surf through the Elite Four door south of the map corresponding to Elite Four Aaron's room. By using this somewhat simple glitch, players could access several areas previously unknown to most people including the placeholder maps known as the [[Mystery Zone]]s and even areas normally unobtainable without a special Nintendo event such as Flower Paradise and Newmoon Island.

After surfing through the Elite Four door the player could simply land and walk through the [[Out of bounds|blank areas outside of the map]] until they reach areas that correspond to normal locations within the game. To reload the map data he or she could then use the Explorer Kit and then restart the game.
Line 10:
However, since the Explorer Kit is required to make good use of this glitch it is recommended that the player takes every step with caution as ''upon using the Explorer Kit the game will save''. Therefore ''one small mistake could lead to the player becoming trapped underneath or on top of an object''.
 
This glitch was often named the 'Darkrai and Shiemi glitch' (The"Shiemi" presumedis namea forromanization of Shaymin's before its official EnglishJapanese name) as most people who have used this glitch have performed it to catch Darkrai and Shaymin by navigating to Fullmoon island or Flower Paradise.
