 Bad Eggs
and Advance Generation tricks!
Not even the Advanced Generation of Pokemon games is safe from glitches!
In these games, however, the glitch Pokemon will either have the graphic
of a ? in a circle, or ??. The icon has been known to appear as a golden
Bulbasaur sprite. Some people claim that "Bad Eggs" are programmed
to appear as punishment for using too many GameShark tricks, but this
is unknown...

From medavemaster221:
- "Ok, this is a weird R/S trick, and apparently, our glitchy friend
Missingno has come to haunt us in R/S! This was tested by my friend,
and it will screw up your game (theres an 85% chance anyways.) Ok, you
have to restart you game. Then, once you do this, beat the game until
the island (The one with a cave on the coast, Dew[ford] island). Well,
there are 2 fishermen there that you can battle. Battle them in the
order that they come. Then talk to the second one after the battles
are over. Once you do this, go in the cave. Walk around, and soon you
will find a pokemon named ???BADEGG???(its picture is a question mark)
Catch him and go to your pc. Withdraw him, and your jaw will drop. Yes,
it a bad egg, and its description is (no pokedex entry). An egg that
will never hatch. But, that's not all, for the rest of the game, sometimes
even after you delete the game, every pokemon that appears will be the
???BADEGG??? pokemon. It seems that R/S has its own missingno and cinnibar
island."
From Al (age 12):
- "THAT DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But there is a REAL bad
egg. My friend has one. This is what happened:
My friend Julian gameshark in his ruby version to get a Jirachi.
It was supposed to replace the first pokemon in his lineup (forget
what it was, something dumb) Well, instead of a jirachi he got something
called "bad EGG". He walked around for a MONTH and the thing would
not hatch. It is now in his pc. He plans to trade it to me, and we
will experiment further.
Also, he used an action replay to get something called "enigma berry".
Now, diehard pkmn fans out there will know that you can get an enigma
berry from the battle Ecards by hooking up a Ruby or Sapphire version
to an E-Reader and scanning one of the enigma berry card through it.
Well they are called things Like "Strib berry" And look like normal
(if not weird) berries. Well, the Ecards were not released then, so
he used a gameshark to get one. It looked like a black eggplant with
a yellow leaf at the top and little tiny ? all over it. Oh, and its
desciption is MYSTERY MYSTERY MYSTERY MYSTERY Etc. He planted one
2 weeks ago but it is still just a sprout."
From Andi:
- (In reply to Al's post)
"I'm not sure when your friend started his game but, there is a
glitch that happens after one year of play known as the "Berry Glitch".
I know that sounds like a made up thing but it's not, you can check
reliable sites and forums such as www.pokemonelite2000.com. Anyway,
this glitch stops time after one year. Thus, berries will not grow.
That could be why the Enigma Berries won't prosper further. This hasn't
happened to me yet but I also don't think you can play the lottery
and such either.
There is a way to fix this, however. When you connect your R/S game
to Pokemon Colloseum via the GBA GCN link cable thing, it automatically
fixes it. And, when FR/LG comes out, you can somehow fix the glitch
with it, also."
From Doggiegirl30:
- "I have some info about the bad egg in pokemon Ruby and Sapphire.
I've heard a rumor that it was purposefully put in the game to punish
people who attempted to catch Jirachi and/or Deoxys using a Gameshark
or some other cheating device. The bad egg will never hatch, unless
you use a Gameshark or other cheat device to hatch it. The bad egg won't
screw up your game unless you use a cheat device to evolve it, but there
is a deadly glitch related to MissingNo. on Dewford Island that will
seriously mess up your game if you see it. (and I thought the worst
thing in the Granite Cave was all the Aron...)"
From The Game Glitch Master Feldynaught:
- "I have info about "bad egg". when I found it, it had no name, its
only attack's were tackle and a nameless attack, when I caught it, it
was an egg, with hatched into a ??, however, in the party, it was a
"Bad Egg". with never hatched, I found this when using the action replay,
It will just appear at random if you use a cheat(s)."
From Diana K.:
- "It is possible to get this using the cheat device known as the ActionReplay.
It occurs after the third battle if you use the 'One-hit KO' code already
programmed into the cheat device. When I caught it on Sapphire, sure
enough, up popped the pokedex screen. However, the wild bad eggs went
away as soon as I took out the ActionReplay. So my Sapphire was fine.
The real problem with Sapphire and Ruby is that if you do the last 2
All Berries codes, they lock up your TM folder so you can never use
TMs again!"
- From Mew gal:
"While I was reading intresting stories on your site, I came
across a message saying somthing about an Action replay problem when
you use the all berry code and how you will not be able to acsess
your TM's in any way possible. When I came across that message I remembered
when my Action replay did the same thing. I found a way to fix the
problem shortly after the event happend. I thought readers would like
to know this so they could continue using TM's.
1. Enter the all TM code into the action reply so it can download
all the TM's onto the game that has the problem.
2. once you press continue, save and turn off your GBA.
3. take out the action replay and turn on the game with the problem.
Result: you should be able to acsess your TM's again and have 99
of each one also. This trick WILL NOT affect any other part of your
game."
From tanmay:
- "There is a non-glitch way to get Bad Egg in R/S, and FR/LG!
All you have to do is make an egg, then leave it in the PC FOREVER!
When you check your PC, it will say bad egg. I suppose this is because
the egg wasn't interacting with other Pokemon."
From greendaylover3214:
- "I used the 'Catch Pokemon Easily' code on my Pokemon Leafgreen,
and just for the heck of it, used it on a trainers pokemon. It let me
catch the pokemon, and I didn't nickname it, and then it showed Onix's
picture and said "Bad EGG was sent to BOX1" it creeped me
out, and I was going to shut the game off when I ran into a shiny Yanma!
Im not gonna let that get away! So I cought it and saved. Later, I went
to the Daycare on 5 island (I think), and I put a Weedle and my Yanma
into the daycare. I came back a few minutes later (I was using the 'Fast
Female EGG' code) and it said YANMA and Bad EGG (male???) are doing
fine! My jaw dropped. I checked my PC and the original Bad EGG was still
there! After an hour and a half, (and 17 Bad EGG's later) I figured
out that female Bad EGG's have no icon, and their picture is the ? in
a circle. Also, the second pokemon will ALWAYS turn into a Bad EGG!
My poor DITTO was turned into a B.E. and it mated with my Eevee, and
when the normal EGG hatched, the name was a -!!!!! An -!!!!! I looked
at the picture, and the screen turned purple and and a high pitched
buzzing noise started playing. It was scary!!! It was almost like what
happens in Pokemon Yellow when a MissingNo. freezes your game! And that
Ditto I mentioned earlier? I nicknamed it DITTO, put it in the daycare
(second spot) and saved. When I turned back on, the name was DITT!!
Not DITTO but DITT! I saved and walked a step away from the Daycare
Man, walked back and it was a Bad EGG!! O_O It was freaky!!! Now I cant
use the Daycare cause I have to take a Bad EGG out each time, and when
ever I try to put another Pokemon back in, theres always another Bad
EGG!!!"
From Keczilla:
- "Well I have something weird that happened to me with a bad egg.
Back in 3rd grade at school, I was playing my GBA and Pokemon Sapphire,
and I was in Regice's cave/cove/toilet/thing, and after "letting
time pass" for over what you're supposed to wait to open the door,
I resented to smashing my GBA on the table lightly. Then, after getting
home from the bus, I finally got the door to open. As I stepped inside
and wasted 58 Ultra Balls to get Icey, I finally got him. Then, back
at the Petalberg PokeCenter's PC box storage, I decided to go backwards
from 1 to 14 to 13 and so on for no good reason. But at Box 14, there
was something called "Bad Egg." I decided to take it out.
It said it would hatch soon. I smiled, not knowing the trouble I was
getting in to. I then flew to the Pokemon League. After 5 steps, A box
with the message "Huh?" appeared! I was so excited! A black
screen came up. The music was still playing, but there was only a black
screen. I waited, and waited, and waited, but still nothing. I had to
restart my game because I couldn't walk to a PC to disposit it without
the egg "Hatching." Creepy..."
From Dragon Knight:
- "once i got a bad egg i used an action replay when i restarted
my game ( dunt remember for wat though, but not a rare pokemon ) after
that i never used it again but a few days later i got my seventh badge
and healed my team then i checked my PC and there was a bad egg i took
it out saved then flew to the daycare center thinking they might have
a connection with the egg, but no they acted natural so i checked my
PC again and it was there again so i moved it around the box it was
like it was multiplying in my box becuz everythime i moved it one would
be in the previuos spot and the new spot i got tired of tryin to hatch
them so i restarted i tried my action replay again but now it wont read
any of my games."
From splicer
- "I think I might have found a new way to get a bad EGG, or at
least turn a pokemon into one.
About a month ago, I purchased an Action Replay, and so far, no
viruses had come. One day I was playing on my Emerald with the "Walk
thru walls" code on, and I saved inside the Battle Dome, in back
of the registration counter. A few hours later, I picked up my gameboy
again. I checked my party, like I always do when I come back, but
something was REALLY wrong.
Every thing was the same, Flygon, Altaria, Sharpedo, etc. But in
the last slot, where my Ampharos had been, it said: bad EGG. The stats
were the same as a regular egg, or bad EGG, but right below the picture
box and level, it had a little pop up that said Status [Pkrs] The
word pkrs was in a red box. (if you can call pkrs a word)
I have no idea why this came up. I have saved in walls, in the daycare,
and even where the graphics get temporaroly messed up. (one time,
I was on a wall in Verdanturf, and I saw the sole dew!) But nothing
like this ever happened. I can always go catch another mareep, but
this is just really odd."
From Lauren:
- "On my Ruby, I got a 'bad egg' (that's the name) from my freind
Jaron. He said he caught it (yes, caught it, it even has an ultra ball
symbol in the summary page!) in victory road. He said he was too lazy
to hatch it so he told me to. So i looked at its summary to see how
long the strange little egg would take. it said: This EGG may take a
while to hatch. Noticing it had a weird status problem, I took it to
nurse Joy. she told me what she tells everybody about Pokerus. I was
at first scared so I saved and turned off the game. That night I turned
the game back on and decided to keep my promise to Jaron and hatch the
accursed thing. Well, two full months went by and the thing was still
an egg. Some of my pokemon had had Pokerus at some point during those
two months, so I decided that the stupid egg was a problematic pest
and was never going to hatch so I deposited it for good. (I also told
Jaron it was NEVER gonna hatch and he let me keep it.)"
From Michael Wihlborg:
- "My friend told me a few days ago that once he discovered a Bad
EGG while cheating with his GameShark on Pokémon Ruby. Shortly
after that, his save game was DELETED!"
- "My friend told me that sometimes, his Bad EGGs (he restarted
his game) hatch. They hatch into... {Drum roll} BAD EGGS! It's true.
Also, the longest time it have took between the "hatchings"
is 5 years! Thats right. I'm not kidding!"
From [email protected]):
- "I have a Bad Egg in my Ruby game. I got it by useing the 1 hit
KO cheat with my Action Replay. If you battle a wild pokemon with this
cheat on it will appear as the ? with black circles around it. if you
try to name it the pokemon icon is a bulbasaur. When it does hatch it
freezes the game. I do wonder excactly what the bulbasaur means. I suppose
it is linked to Red/Blue/Yellow/(and perhaps the japanese version of
blue)Green. It has been awhile since i have done this though. And also
the background of my Action Replay screen is corrupted.(All pixelized
in the colors of Black, White, And multiple grays) I forgot when i noticed
this, but it might be linked to that event. The Action Replay still
functions as always."
From Shadow Pheonix:
- "Hi! I recently got my friend an ACtion Replay for Christmas,
& my parents ended up getting one for me & my brother.I was using two
codes that let you steal pokemon from the Battle Factory on Pokemon
Emerald. Before I entered, I had a lvl 50 Delcatty that I had taken
before (I had two). When I got to about the 3rd or 4th battle, (I still
hadnt found a pokemon I wanted yet)at the end,my game froze.I turned
it off for a bit,& went on my computer.
About an hour later, I switched it back on and looked at my party.In
my party was my lvl 50 Delcatty,& in the last slot.....a Bad Egg! It
was fainted. It wouldnt let me select it too look at its stats.I withdrew
some pokemon, & it then allowed me to check its Summary.When I did,
the game went grey & froze.I could just make out what its summary said.
It said "What will hatch from this? It will take some time" & under
that, it said "A strange egg found at the Daycare Center". When I deposited
it, it dissappeared! Weird."
- "Also, my friend used an AR code for Nosepass on either Ruby
or Sapphire (I dont know which, as she has both) & came across a Missingno.
(the one that is in the empty slots of the pokedex) in the cave in Dewford!"
From Tom Huxter:
- "Playing firered: when i used my action replay to go in the 2-player
battle arena,i went into a battle. i found a pokemon with no name it
looked like a ? in a circle, so i will refer to it as (?). i threw one
of my many masterballs at it. when i caught it it said "Congratulations,
you caught a ". Then it moved on to the next screen and said "ratata's
data was added to the pokedex", "do you want to nikname the newly caught
" (no) "box 1 is full, bad egg was sent to box 2" the screen turned
black and a strange sound came out, it contiued to make the glitched
up sound, and continued, and continued. i finally turned off my gbasp
and laughed, the programmers acctually put in a pokemon called bad egg,
ha! "
From Starboy:
- "One day I was using my Emerald Version and battling my friend's FireRed
using wireless adapters. I sent out a Blaziken lv. 54, and on my friend's
screen, he sent out an Articuno. When I looked back at my screen, it
said, "(trainer name) sent out Bad Egg!" Yes. it was an egg sprite.
The bad egg was lv. 241, was asleep, and had 0 hp. Even weirder, a few
seconds later, on my screen it showed my friend sending out his Articuno,
but the egg stayed! The Articuno's hp bar, level, and name were there,
but under the Articuno sprite was an egg sprite the same color as the
Articuno! After I defeated the Articuno, he sent out Moltres. The egg
was still there, and it turned the same red as Moltres! The Moltres
defeated my Blaziken, then I sent out a Sudowoodo lv. 40. The egg disappeared
and my friend turned off the game. Nothing happened on my friend's screen."
From Neo AKA "Saukra":
- "Hello, here's the preliminary "your site rocks, and MissingNo.
rocks" part, TR Rose! ^_^
I've had a Sapphire MissingNo. for a long time (named MissingNo.).
...The ?? blocky model. An adorable thing, really.
I've had it in my heavily 'sharked Sapphire Version (a friend's old
game that she game me). I even sharked a few Bad Eggs to get myself
shiny Pokemon. I can guarantee that besides its awesome attack (400),
it's quite an average, unevolved Pokemon that sadly only learns Tackle.
Its cry is an Unown's, it's tradeable, and, even better, it can be
registered!
Yes, I traded it over to my friend's Ruby and then registered his
team, andI frequenly battle MissingNo. without any bad glitches. I've
never had Bad Eggs beside the ones I triggered with special gameshark
codes to get shiny pokemon straight from eggs. And I hatched the MissignNo.
using the Lavaridge egg flag and the Egg Modifier.
But another of my friends has problems with his game and Bad Eggs,
so I can safely say that simply gaining ?? MissingNo. won't make Bad
Eggs appear, but the shiny modifier, or messing the shiny egg steps,
or even talking to the man in Pacifidlog Town with the Mirage Island
flag activation code on can, and will result in your Pokemon morphing
into Bad Eggs. And once a Pokemon becomes a Bad Egg, there's no way
to get them back, but using the last steps of the Shiny Egg modifier,
you can erase the Bad Egg from your game.
Usually, when your own Pokemon turn into Bad Eggs, it's when you
were too nosy and checked their stats. That's the worst thing to do
since it triggers a transformation, until every caught Pokemon becomes
a Bad Egg. Bottom line: don't mess up gameshark codes, use them as
intended, and no Bad Egg will eat your Pokemon. I can attest to this
after my Sapphire has survived no less than ten voluntarily planted
Bad Eggs on a period of about 72 hours non-stop, with frequent saves
in-between."
From tca85280:
- "Pokemon emerald suffers from odd effects from hatching bad eggs,
one of these is, what i've affectionately named "Thunderpuch Egg".
My emerald versions been through a hell of a lot, its been corrupted,
action replayed, rendered unplayable and then replayable.
What happened is: I was playing emerald version VERY late one night,
and i was so tired that I hit save, pulled out the game THEN turned
it off.
I turned back on my game, "BLAH BLAH CORRUPTED" message, continued
to my game, and the oddities started, I couldn't see any of my pokeballs,
and couldn't use them, neither my berries or TM/HM's worked.
I resorted to using my Action Replay to fix the game up,
INFINITE TM/HM's fixed up the Tm's and HM's,
INFINITE POKEBALLS fixed up the Pokeballs, and I couldn't fix my berries...
After fixing everything up, I proceded to checking on my eevee I had
in daycare, boom, the eevee had an egg, one eevee, scrap that, it was
two "bad eggs" now.
The egg had random letters for a name, and was close to hatching, i
took a few steps, and it hatched.
It hatched into... Another egg....
I named the egg "Egg" for the sake of it, and went off to
battle some pokemon.
I entered the battle, only to find out that... THE EGG GOT SENT OUT!
It knew thunderpunch, and it was pretty darn weak, I checked its stats,
it was TOUGH/CUTE type... Odd.
I can infinately replicate this glitch, as the man always gives me a
glitchy egg to hatch when i visit the pokemon centre, which hatches
into more "Thunderpunch Egg"'s.
I've traded some to friends and family.
The egg learns to moves, the egg learns no TM's or HM's, its just a
neat little glitch I use to startle people.
If i get a hold on a digital camera i'll take some pics."
From David:
- "In Pokemon Emerald I was using Action Replay Code Make all wild pokemonshiny
code and i was in the safari zone.
I had just encountered a Shiny wobuffeft and caught it in one. It then
said Bad Egg was sent to Lanettes PC. Now i'd heard about it from the
link to your site from wikipedia. And it was enough to make me shut
my game off. Now id used the code before on deoxys ho-oh and lugia and
ill atach the pics of them but the odd thing was the shiny wobuffet
transformed into a bad egg in the poke ball."
Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald Glitches and Tricks (more
listed under Game Shark tricks)
From Neko:
 
- "In pokemon ruby version, I have found a missingno, that was two giant
question marks, like this:
A picknicker Diana or Annie had it, and froze my game, but I have
found it again on Route 116, along with other oddities
- In rub/sap I have succesfully hatched a bad egg, along with a friend
of mine, and a friend online, and they all hatched into a missingno,
that looked glitchy, and was blue! Its attacks were
Hyperbeam
Struggle
???
And a glitched up thingy
From King Boo:
- "With old research from Neko (the one who sent the Yellow Mew
MissingNo) direct from the official Nintendo forums, I have confirmed
2 new glitches.
??=HUGE ?? pixel form (R/S only).
?=Black circle, white ring, ? in that. (Screenshots (battle) from FR/LG:Pokedex
shots direct from R/S)
These, combined with my own Ruby and Sapphire data taken from playing
and PokemonElite2000.com's old R/S shots, conclude that:
?? was part of an old Pokedex shot (R/S) for "unknown Pokemon"
The newer Pokedex shots (R/S) use ? as the unknown variable. However,
game coding required them to be Pokemon-and are technical, required
glitches! (Red=my theory)"
From Al:
-
"I FOUND A NEW MISSINGNO! Sorry but im really excited as i found
this just a minute ago. This is for pkmn ruby/sapphire
1. First have gameshark
2. Enable the "walk trough walls code"
3. Go to the link area where you battle with your friends
4. Walk thru a wall
5. A POKEMON APPEARS!
Its name is ??????. Its only attack is struggle. It looks like a
big black circle with a smaller circle inside and a ? inside that.
If you catch it its data is this: "There is no data on this pokemon
at this time." But after u view the data, the game freezes. AM SO
EXCITED!"
From Daniel:
- "Ok, in ruby, i was playing and i came across a black pocchyena. It
was totally black, his eyes, fur, everything! the strange part is it
didnt sparkle, so its not a shiny. I caught it and stored it in a box,
and it turned into a bad egg!! This sounds very un-logical but its true!
I think it is a result of the ruby/sap missingno glitch, found in Littleroot."
From SweetSuicune:
- "[In my Ruby version], my Mudkip, Chalice, has a cheat to make it
lv. 255, but it appears as ?5 in battle. When Wally sent out Zigzagoon
up against Ralts, Zigzagoon was lv ?5. Wally won in one go, and then
acted as though he caught it."
From NeonLugia:
- "This happened in my Sapphire version. I was walking west of Lilycove
city, seeing I mostly find Latias there.
"I was walking near the Gentleman trainer, the one near the fences.
I re-matched the gentleman guy after that, okay here's when the stuff
gets freaky.
"Behind the fence was a girl walking. I have NEVER seen her before
[and] when she touched the fence, she disappeared. Yep, in[to] thin
air.
"Then the next wild pokemon battle all I saw was a black screen,
with some kind of buzzing noise. I was FREAKED to death. I'm just
glad my game [is] back to normal."
From dragonslayerboy:
- "Something strange just happened! I got a hack of sapphire, called
pokemon psychic, and when proffesor birch is in trouble, there is grass
to the right! If you go in the grass, you will be battled by a pokemon,
and you won't have a pokemon, so it will say your pokemon is the question
mark in the circle! It can't attack because it will have no pp left!
maybe it's missingno and missing no is there to hold your place when
you don't have any pokemon!"
From anonymous 11 year old poke fanatic:
- "I found this FAQ that has pokemon Sapphire and Ruby gameshark
codes for GBA/SP Gamesharks.Ive used them and so far the only glitch
has been getting Latias in the wild over and over with the full Pokedex
code.This happens when you look at your TV at your house it will keep
giving the report every time you capture the new wild Latias.This was
first wierd to me because I already had a level 68 Latias."
- "Another glitch was up a certain area on the Volcano (up to Fallarbor
Town) were you can walk through the ashes two spaces you can step are
already green as if they have already been stepped in.I hope the site
helps here is the link http://faqs.ign.com/articles/541/541321p1.html
From samuel88882001:
- "Ok, i was playing Emerald, and i was in Battle Pyramid.
On floor 1, i had picked up a Shell bell and gave it to Blaziken. I
was on floor 6 when i found a wild, Lv.59 Jolteon. Nothing strange about
that, but when i won the battle, when the shell bell got used on Blaziken,
Blaziken didn't move. It just flashed green a few times (green?). Then,
when the battle was over, only the very top of me was visible, and there
was some walls i could walk through. I found a wild Pokemon. It was
a Manectric. But through the WHOLE battle (literally), it said Blaziken
was out, and when Blaziken did its animation it didn't move. I ran away
from the Manectric. The next wild Pokemon i found was a Jolteon. Again,
it said that Blaziken was out the whole time. I used Sky Uppercut, and
Jolteon made a copy of itself. The original Jolteon overlapped it a
little. I decided to retire, but when i was at the entrance, no people
were visible! I reset, and all was fine."
From Toad:
- "Okay, I went into battle tower on my Pokémon Sapphire,
and had the floor wiped with my pokes by this freakish Porygon. (picture
enclosed) The rest of the trainers team was normal though. No-one I've
asked knows what it is. I'll head back to battle tower soon and see
if he'll return."
From Mewninetytwopointfive:
- "I'm making a hack of Pokemon Ruby called Pokemon Crazy. When
I edited the starting Pokemon, I noticed that when you picked the Pokemon,
there were a couple of numbers between Celebi and Treeko. Curious, I
used one of these numbers as one of the starters. When I tested it,
the choices I could choose were Chimeco, (Wind Chime Pokemon), Lugia
(Diving Pokemon), and then a Pokemon named "?" which was referred
to as, well it was too messed up. It looked like two question marks.
I picked the ?, and then battled the
Poochyena. ?'s cry is the cry of an Unown. He's pretty good. He defeated
Poochyena in 1 hit. I think he is the R/S version of Missingno. No,
he did not become a Bad Egg, he stayed the same. He had no ability,
and all he knew was tackle, which sucks in battle, but is great in Tough
Contsets. I will experiment further when I finish this hack."
From Zach:
- "I was playing my Pokemon Ruby one day and I was in Pacifidlog
Town. When I was walking on the logs that make up the roads there, I
noticed that the music was getting all screwed up. It was the first
that it happened to me and I got a freaked out because I never messed
with my game before."
From Chris:
- "I uploaded my hacked version of sapphire. Basicly, I cut out some
of the trees on route 101 so you can pass birch with out any pokemon."

From Raene:
- "Ruby Glitch: I was heading in the cave, looking for Groudon,
and when I walk on a tile, a very weird Geodude appeared, it's name
was Geo, and it had no face, no arms, like a normal Geodude would. While
trying to run, it kept me back saying 'No! You can't run from this -block,
block, block-' I got scared for the moment, and as soon as I decided
to battle. It threw Water Gun at me, and after that, I was able to run."
From UltimateWhiteDragon:
- "Yes, belive it or not, with some help with my action replay, I have
seen an emerald version missingno.. It acts MUCH more difrently than
ruby, saphire, leaf green, and fire red. It still looks like the circle,
circle. circle, question mark kind of missingno.. Emerald version missingno.
only appears when you put more than thirty pokemon on the encounter
list ( 40 to 55 would take in great results). Better yet, I have also
seen its shiny version ( ....... Action Replay........)! In shiny version,
missingno. looks the same, exept it's darker than before.
Emerald version missingno. is literaly shy. I could only encounter it
three times! I did capture it a bunch of times but when I checked the
P.C. I found no missingno.. I did not even find a bad egg! Absolutly
no trace of missingno. was left behind. Game Freak REALY dosn't want
people obtaining missingno. in any way possible. Boy, I can't wait until
diamond and pearl comes out... What will Missingno. look like then?
Better warm up my action replay...( I really hope they don't use "
thunder monsters" or what ever it was called in this). Anyways,
if you encounter it, don't try to catch it. YOU"LL JUST WASTE YOUR
TIME."
From ig88b1:
- "The ?? in ruby version will not learn anything but tackle. I don't
have a sapphire to see if it is the same there. i caught a ?? and trained
it to 100. It learns nothing but is caught with tackle."
From MertandStephen:
- "I know how to get ? and ??.Here are the steps.
Get a Action replay
Activate the Shiny Code and Catch trainer's pokemon code.
Go to the trainer hill.
Catch a shiny Pokemon from a trainer.
Check your pc.
You should find ? or ?? in your pc.
If you get ? never look at it's stats or the game will freeze it's level
vary's from 0 to something.
Both ? and ?? will know the moves of the Shiny pokemon you caught from
the trainer.
??'s level vary's from 7 to 40.
And that is how to get ? and ??."
From jasminetalley:
- "Something weird happened in my Sapphire game. I mixed records
with my Emerald game and wild Seedot and Nuzleaf began to appear in
my Sapphire game. This happed on two occasions. Someone thought it was
because Emerald somehow transfered something into Sapphire but what
really happened?"
From Glamorgirl900:
- "OK, so one day my friend came over my house for a sleepover, and
I was playing my Ruby for a while, as she played her Sapphire. I traded
my Swampert and Kyogre (All around level 90, and I took over 300 overall
gaming hours into training them and a few others that I transferred.)
to my Ruby version. Later I took a break and turned the power off on
my Ruby after the successfull trade, and later, I was in for a devastating
experience. I turned on the power, and it said, "The game has been deleted..."
I was in tears. Next, I gave up, and clicked new game. The oddest thing
happened, when Birch released the Pokémon, it WASN'T a Pokémon at all!
It was a giant mess of scrambled Pixels much like MissingNo! Everything
but birch after that, even the hero characters were scrambled pixels!
(You knew it was them, but you could barely make it out that it was
them if the person playing it never played Ruby or Sapphire before.)
And later I turned off the power, went to rent a video with my friend,
later I played my game again, and it was back to normal, even the file
was just how I left it on my journey! This is the strangest Pokémon
related experience I've ever had since the MissingNO, 'M, x-X, ?, the
female symbol, and all the other old-school Pokémon glitches. Finally,
I had never used a cheat code with these Pokémon, so I want to know
what caused this, if you have any ideas."
From MonkeyMan:
- "Strange as it is, you don't need Pokemon Colosseum and FR/LG
to fix the Berry Glitch, you don't ned anything!
I didn't have any of these things so I had to play my Sapphire Version
without berries.
Just out side of Mauville, I had 2 Cornn berries growing, but in
the middle stage the Berry Glitch activated.
I still played for 1 year after it's activation, and the berries
started growing again, I went back and the game said that the Cornn
Berries were ready to be picked, I had heard that the Berry Glitch
was permanent but aparrently you just have to wait another year and
the glitch will work itself out!
It takes awhile but it is a sure way to deactivate the glitch, just
bind your time for 1 year and berries will begin to grow again!
This kind of thing hasn't been posted on your website so I took it
as an opportunity to let you know this cure for the Berry Glitch.
Just thought you needed to know about this new breakthrough in the
cure of the Berry Glitch!
Thank You for Listening to me!
P.S: I am the master of the Monkey Cage! Fear All Bananas!"
From Jamie:
- "This happened a couple weeks back.I was surfing along route 128 (or
was it 129?)and i found this tentacool.Perfectly normal, til i looked
at its level. its level was ??. I battled it to see how strong it was.
Text on screen was: Blaziken used Sky Uppercut! Its not very effective...
Tentacool used Hyper (Glitch block) BP Its super effective! (Kills blaziken
in one hit) Use next pokemon?(Yes,No) (I press yes, and suddenly screen
goes black. repeated tentacool cry, then it goes back to the battle.Im
still facing tentacool(lvl ??) but my pokemon is BlAxx.[Yes BlAxx] It
knew Sky Uppercut, Hyper Beam, (Nameless glitch move) and Splash.It
stayed in my party instead of Blaziken, but when i went to PC Blazkien
was in there [Phew]) And the weirdest thing is, i was playing legitimately,
no GameShark, no Action Replay,nothing."
From Lady Lita and Flametail:
From MertandStephen:
- "I know how to get ? and ?? in Emerald Just do this:
Get a Action replay
Activate the Catch trainer Pokemon code,and the shiny code
Go to the trainer hill
Catch a shiny Pokemon from a trainer
You got a Shiny ?? or ? the ?? looks regular but it shines
If you had 6 pokemon it will be sent to the Pc if not 6 pokemon it will
appear in your party
When you look at ?'s summary the game freezes
??'s level vary's from 7 to 40
?'s level vary's from 0 to something
It is random if you catch ?? or ? but keep trying to get them both.
Now have fun with ? and ??."
Misc. FireRed/LeafGreen Tricks & Quirks
From Yorokobu:
- "I was innocently training my Eevee in the Pattern Bush in my
Fire Red version, along with my Lapras. I battled a trainer which appeared
to be some researcher guy, (Ruin guy Landon, I think it was) when the
battle started, the screen went blank - just black, then a really irritating,
screeching noise was repeating in a loop over and over again, but the
battle music can be heard as well. I turned down the volume in case
it might be the radio or something, it dissappeared, then I turned it
back up. I was freaked - so I turned my gameboy off and on. I was in
front of the daycare where I last saved. I went back to Pattern Bush
but nothing happened. Any clue what this might be? Or is my game just
screwed a bit?"
From UltimateWhiteDragon:
- "Yesterday, I found a strange thing in my Leaf Green. I was in
Icefall cave looking for a lapras ( yes you can get them there, but
rarely) and I found the strangest thing. I'm not kidding!!! I found
a GREEN Dratini, and it did not sparkle, and Dratini's nest was no where
near this location!!! Also, Dratini's shiny color is pink. Also, it
did not say " wild dratini appeared! ". It said "wild
appeared!". It was on level zero, and where it SHOULD have said
Dratini, it just had a big white space there. When I threw a great ball
to capture it, the game froze ( wow! Game Freak is serious about people
messing with glitch's!!!). It never happened again. Do you know what
happened?"
- "Leaf green glitch thing: I used an action replay to get an arbok.
When I went to the old man, ( I was starting a new game) I knew that
arbok was in my lead position at the time. Well, when the battle with
the old man and the weedle began, it said " ARBOK'S intimidate
lowered WEEDLE'S attack! ". Further more... OH MY GOSH!!! THE OLD
MAN MUST BE AN ARBOK!!! (- =) Sorry. Just having fun..."
- "Fire red glitchy thing: I used the action replay to have unlimited
master balls. Sure enough, I had a never ending supply (evil grin). I
checked out the old man ( New game again, and I know how to catch
pokemon!!!) and the battle started. The old man went to his inventory.
He had an unlimited supply of 99 master balls ( boy, people are sure
rich these days (- =))"
From King Glitch:
- "I was playing on my LeafGreen game and I decided to go to Seven
Island, buy 99 ultra balls and go and catch pokemon. Then I decided
to battle the crush girl in Sevault Canyon and I defeated her primape
and got to her Hitmontop (this was all before I knew you couldn't catch
trainers' pokemon) - I lobbed about 44 ultraballs and then strangely,
one of them caught it. It wobbled once and then broke out and then even
more strangely, the trainer fled!
I took one step and then the screen went black (like when you encounter
a pokemon) and before I knew it, I was battling a glitch. It was called
something like Missing1no and there were loads of glitchy squiggly things
after its name. I ran away incase it would screw up the game and then
afterwards nothing glitchy happened but a few days later I visited Cerulean
Cave and encountered it again and again and again. This time, when it
was coming into its position it was Missing1no but it looked like it
was using Transform and it turned into weird pokemon that you can't
find in Cerulean Cave, like Charmander and a glitched-up pokemon which
was difficult to make out. So now I'm too scared to visit Cerulean Cave
again but that Missing1no was probably FireRed and LeafGreen's version
of MissingNo.
I would be interested to know if anyone else has had a similar experience
and what they did about it."
From UltimateWhiteDragon:
- "I disagree with you King Glitch. The missingno. I saw with my action
replay on leafgreen, looked like ruby and sapphire's missingno.. Plus,
I'v mucked with it some. Although... I used an action replay to obtain
it. Could there be TWO types of leafgreen/firered version missingnos.?
One that keeps the action replay occupied, and a natural glitch? I'm
doing more research on this... Until then, by!"
From Dark Lugia Master M.J.:
- "Okay here is a weird glitch on my leaf green,every time I try to get eggs and hatch and send them to Diamond it
never works unless I first go to seven island or go through a cave like 20 (always Do seven Island)after wich I have
to have 1 battle and then an egg but no seven island no egg,it may have something to do with me making 67
trades.6SEVEN.I have never used a cheating device,it may be half are from my emerald wich I clone on.The only
download was a mew trade from Nintendo."
