A method of [[Pokémon cloning]] with the access Pokémon beyond slot six glitch was discovered by Luckytyphlosion in 2014 before it was known that scrolling past those Pokémon will corrupt data. Sometimes in the expanded party there will be a Pokémon that the player can send out. If the player sends this Pokémon into battle and whites out, it is possible for the player to clone the last Pokémon in their party.

#An addition of +5 (bit 0 and bit 2 set).
#An addition of +5 (hex:05) (bit 0 and bit 2 set).
#An addition of +64 (bit 6 set).
#An addition of +64 (hex:40) (bit 6 set).


The variables which are corrupted during scrolling are random due to a mechanism known as [[DMA]]. DMA shifts the location of a memory address to one of 64 locations each time the player performs an action such as opening the Pokémon menu outside of battle, or entering battle. This is the reason why it can take many attempts for a successful Glitzer Popping corruption.
