The '''Mimic glitch''' is a less commonly known [[glitch]] which is similar to the [[Surf through Elite Four door Glitch]] in the sense that the glitch only exists in earlier builds of the Japanese versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. By using this [[glitch]] players can essentially give a Pokémon already knowing Mimic or Transform any moveset. This glitch is similar to the [[Q Trick]] of Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow as the '''Mimic Glitch''' eventually involves the player's Pokémon copying the moves of one of his or her other Pokémon. However Pokémon such as Magikarp cannot legitimately learn Mimic therefore they cannot have their moves changed without an [[Game-altering device|external device.]] This glitch can also effect generation 5 games via the PokéTransfer feature. You can send a Pokémon that knows Sketch to Pokémon Black or White, thus the Pokémon can legally obtain one new generation 5 move it could not normally learn.
