In order to trigger the glitch, the game must not yet patched to version 1.1. The player must enter the GTS, and apply a filter to narrow down requests to Pokémon that the player has. Once a trade is initiated, the game will display the message, ''"A communication error has occurred. Press the Power button, and end the game."''
 
==Cause==
 
When the filter is applied, the game fails to initialize trade data to prepare for a possible trade during the refresh. This causes it to assume that the Pokémon does not exist, and as a result triggers the error.
