In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the term ''''Tweaking'''' or 'Holepunching' refers to when the game unsuccesfully loads nearby map data which was previously not present on the screen. Within these games maps are broken up into 32x32 squares which are only visible at any one time. When
This glitch is very similar to a much older glitch which only existed in older builds of the Japanese versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, which was known by many fans as the "[[Darkrai and Shiemi glitch]]", as a slight bug in the map of Elite Four Aaron's room allowed the player to surf through the door and run across the [[Out of bounds|blank spaces]] which occupy other in-game maps. As a result of this, players could not only get to nearby areas, such as the Hall of Fame room, but with meticulous planning, they could also access Fullmoon Island and Flower Paradise in order to catch Darkrai and Shaymin (whose name was at that time not officially translated into English and was simply romanized by fans as 'Shiemi'). However, after the release of later versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Nintendo had fixed the [[Surf through Elite Four door glitch]] after many players complained about becoming stuck in "[[Out of bounds|the void]]." After a fairly long time period of disappointment from some fans of the [[Surf through Elite Four door glitch]], a few months after English versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the Tweaking glitch was first discovered in areas such as Jubilife City and the route below Solaocean Town by
When the Tweaking glitch has been performed successfully, the player will hopefully be able to travel through a black "abyss" (invisible abyss) when he/she enters a building from behind, so that he or she can access a desirable location. However, sometimes the player cannot access the correct abyss and occassionally the game may [[Game freeze|freeze]]. If the player wants to escape the void, however, they can use the moves Fly, Dig or Teleport if possible, enter a building or other warp.
It is also notable that Arceus cannot currently be safely obtained through the use of both the Tweaking glitch and the [[Surf through Elite Four door glitch]] because the flag that is activated when the Azure Flute (0x1FE) is obtained, is not activated without activating Mystery Gift and talking to the delivery man in the PokéMart first, however segments of the Hall of Origin have been found through the use of this glitch.
Tweaking and Void Exploring are often regarded as two completely different glitches because of the fact that graphics and collision data has to be activated after exploring the void for a player to access an area as it would appear in normal gameplay. Void Exploring by itself is safer than a complete tweaking run, as it is easier to ensure that the player does not trap his or herself so that he or she cannot escape and it is easier to ensure that the player does not save in an invalid map location, thus crashing the game with a black screen. When Void Exploring, crashes for invalid map locations, sometimes called BSoDs (Black Screen of Death)s are still possible by testing and not using the Explorer Kit. If any [[flag]] is activated in-game via Tweaking, for example by first recieving the Pal Pad in a downstairs Pokémon Center area, this will also affect the player's relative map location in some way.
