Question

I want to clone my master ball. How do I do that?

Community Answer

Click on your master ball and it will ask you if you want to toss, give, or use. Choose give and give in to your Pokémon and perform the glitch.

Question

What is so risky about doing this in Crystal?

Community Answer

In Crystal, the saving formula is different and has a higher chance of losing your Pokémon.

Question

Will this work for the other colors, too?

Community Answer

This glitch will only work on the Generation 2 games, Gold, Silver, and Crystal (though Crystal is risky). It might be possible on Red/Blue/Yellow, but it would be much more difficult due to the lack of visual cues. For Generation 3 (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald) and onward, due to changes in how boxes work, this glitch does not work.

Question

Can I transfer cloned Pokemon into a copy of say, Pokemon Ultra Moon with Poke Transporter?

Community Answer

If the cloned Pokemon is "legitimate," as in it knows no weird moves and is not corrupt in any way, then it should be able to transport.
