Pomeg data corruption glitch: Difference between revisions

Double corruption is a method of obtaining a Pokémon in the Pokémon Storage System without hatching it. In order to exploit a double corruption, the player should attempt the steps to [[:#hatch any Pokémon|hatch any Pokémon]] with SEASOR (in-game trade Horsea), DOTS (in-game trade Seedot), PLUSES (in-game trade Plusle), any other Pokémon with a beneficial [[corruption type]] with a specific attribute until the Pokémon turns into a regular Egg that is either a different Pokémon to the original or remains as the original.

The attribute to choose will depend on the Pokémon's personality value, which is constant for in-game trade Pokémon, as well as how substructure data will change after bit 6 is set on the upper bytes of the PID and TID. For SEASOR and DOTS it is the Attack and HP EVs that determine the Pokémon, while for PLUSES the Pokémon is determined by move 1's ID (but PLUSES is useful for obtaining moves and glitch moves, where the Attack and HP EVs determine the move of the Pokémon to be double corrupted provided it has at least 1 HP EV).

Afterwards, the player should save the game and continue to make corruptions to the Pokémon in the Pokémon Storage System (resetting if unsuccessful) until the Pokémon converts into an unhatched Pokémon.

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.

On April 9, 2014 luckytyphlosion discovered that the glitch could be used to create both Bad Eggs and hatchable Eggs.
