Community Q&A

  • Question
    Will this work more than once?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Yes, as long as the item is able to be cloned. (Items like the fossils or bicycle cannot be cloned, but rare candies, potions, etc. can be.)
  • Question
    Why don't you mention that Missingno has a higher chance of crashing Yellow?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Because Missingno glitch doesn't multiply items in Yellow. It only works in Red and Blue.
  • Question
    What if I've already talked to him and he isn't there anymore?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    That only happens in Pokemon Yellow when you're forced to talk to him and he fails to capture the Pokemon. This glitch doesn't work in Pokemon Yellow.
