How to Clone Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Legends Z-A (Working Glitch)
Pokémon Legends Z-A has captivated fans with its expansive world and new mechanics—but players have uncovered a game-changing glitch: the ability to clone Shiny Pokémon. After thorough testing, we can confirm this exploit works, and here’s how to do it safely.
How the Shiny Pokémon Cloning Glitch Works
This glitch exploits an overlap between the game’s save system and trading mechanics. By interrupting the trade process at a precise moment, players can duplicate their Shiny Pokémon without losing the original.
Step-by-Step Guide to Clone Shiny Pokémon
Follow these steps carefully to replicate the glitch:
- Manual Save First
-
Always save your game manually before attempting the glitch to prevent data loss.
-
Move Shiny Pokémon to Storage
-
Go to a Pokémon Center and place your Shiny Pokémon in an empty box slot.
-
Initiate a Trade
-
Start a trade with another player or a second console. Hover over the Shiny Pokémon but do not confirm the trade yet.
-
Quick Exit & Save Again
-
Exit the storage system while the trade menu is open, then manually save your game.
-
Complete the Trade
- Return to the trade and finalize it. Check your storage—your original Shiny Pokémon should still be there, alongside the traded copy.
Why This Glitch Happens
The exploit tricks the game by forcing a save while the trade is pending, causing the system to “forget” the Pokémon was traded.
Risks and Warnings
- Save File Corruption: Improper execution may corrupt your game. Back up data.
- Online Bans: Using duplicated Pokémon online could trigger penalties from Nintendo.
- Patch Likely Coming: Developers may fix this soon, so use it at your own risk.
Community Reactions
The discovery has sparked debate:
– Collectors: Excited for easier Shiny duplicates.
– Competitive Players: Worried about unfair advantages in battles.
Should You Use This Glitch?
While tempting, weigh the risks. If you proceed, back up your save and avoid online use.
