I must've been super lucky. I hatched the egg originally for the fun of it and I got a shiny Pichu the first time. Decided to keep it and raised it into a shiny Raichu.
@@Soren27 why wouldn't they be able to transfer them? vc only has checks for mew and illegal moves/items in box 1 (transfer box)... you can set up ace and make pokemon if you wanted and they'll transfer for the most part.
I picked up gold for the first time on the 3ds and I tried out the cloning glitch to get all 3 starters. in the tutorial I read, it says you can slow down the text (the only time I've ever set a pokemon game's text to slow speed) and it will make the glitch easier. I got it done twice for the two other starters with maybe 1 or 2 retries needed at most.

I have tried to practice the box glitch with my rattata but every time I try it either doesn’t work or it gives me a rattata with question marks. I’ve tried to reset at different times but it just doesn’t work
I know you asked this months ago, but I saw a video the other day that using the bottom screen to reset. That is the best method for more precise timing when performing the glitch.
So I tried the third method. I got a shiny smoochum, deposited it in the PC, changed boxes, closed the game right after it said "do not close the game." Once I reopened the game, I could get a new odd Egg, but the smoochum was littered with question marks. So I panicked. I tried to rename it, I can't. I tried to catch a wild pokemon, put both in one box and then get rid of the formerly wild pokemon, the smoochum was still glitched. So I got rid of the smoochum, and I hope it didn't permanently corrupt my save data. Plus as I mentioned earlier I can get a new odd egg, so I still could get a new shiny baby pokemon. And technically the daycare service isn't locked behind the odd Egg, you can talk to the old lady that's standing in front of him.
I’ve stocked up on about 23 eggs and hatched all of them and so far none of them were shiny. I did get a few corrupt eggs but all it seemed like I had to do was hatch and release them. And that’s what I did. After that everything seemed fine. I did notice something wired though. All the mon I ended up hatching were female accept Tyrogue and that’s only because they can only be male. I don’t know what’s going on but I do know that I should have already hatched a shiny by now. If you could help me out it would be much appropriated.
My shiny igglybuff was female, so no problem with hatching females. Even though it's a 1/8 chance, it took me way more than 8 hatches. Could just be bad luck
I just tried the cloning method and failed, I can’t release the egg but thank you for the tip about how to fix it. I’m gonna hatch it and release it so the box isn’t “corrupted” thank you!
Thanks for the guide. I have the virtual console version and the people who call for a rematch won't battle when I talk to them. They say Lets battle. but then nothing happens. And the guards at night won't battle me either. Is this a glitch?
How many steps are needed to hatch the Odd Egg? Also when changing the box when should I restart? Anytime when it says SAVING DO NOT TURN OFF THE POWER. Or when you see the word POWER?
It's not a glitch, it was intended to help show people shiny pokémon alongside the Red Gyarados, that's why in the Japanese version there was actually a 50% chance of finding a shiny. And then in the English versions they lowered it to one out of eight
If you want to get technical (albeit using highly polarized methods) you can if you have CFW since there’s an app that allows you to move everything under the sun between all DS generations as well as illegitimate digital ROMs of Gen 3.
im quickly learning this is the safer better strategy lol. I'd rather garauntee get it than corrupt my save file or get a corrupted shiny and not be able to use it
I already got elekid & smoochum so I'm just gonna keep getting the shiny, trading it to my silver copy and resetting crystal from the start. it takes less than 2 hours to get to goldenrod so idrc
in doing this on og authentic copies of the games on gba sp's. am i supposed to soft reset after the period shows up, or hard reset. i saw someone say hard reset so idk if i should be turning the gameboy off fully
I must've been super lucky. I hatched the egg originally for the fun of it and I got a shiny Pichu the first time. Decided to keep it and raised it into a shiny Raichu.
Most detailed and helpful video I’ve come across regarding this method. Good job man! Keep up the great work!
Thanks, glad you found it helpful
@@therealPinta77 as crazy as this may sound I got a shiny male tyrogue and a shiny female pichu using your 3rd method today!!! Thank you so much!!
Awesome! Thats great news. Glad it worked out for you. So far, I just have Igglybuff
I never knew about that 14% chance with the odd egg. You're the man!
Yeah, good luck!
@@therealPinta77 so far I have shiny magby and shiny igglybuff! Happy camper over here. Thank you again for helping
@@ty_-je8wf did you clone them and if so were you able to transfer them up?

I can't get the timing on the virtual console. I couldn't even clone the starters. Help
Yeah me either. I reset back to the original save but the Pokémon I’m trying to clone disappears. Starting to think it was patched or something
Wow Smoochum was pretty threatening back then. I never played Gold/silver. I had crystal though.
Just to make sure: the timing is soon as you see the period, right?
On 3DS, does hitting the home screen and closing the game work for hard resetting in the glitch? That allows for very precise timing.
I know you asked this months ago, but I saw a video the other day that using the bottom screen to reset. That is the best method for more precise timing when performing the glitch.

Can cloned odd egg pokemon be transfered through poke transporter? I tried transferring a shiny magby but it said there was something wrong with it.
You need to get rid of dizzy punch
Yeah, the clone isn't the problem. Dizzy punch is an "illegal move" due to a programming oversight
@@therealPinta77 pokemon forgot it existed is my guess
Yes, yall are correct! It was dizzy punch lol. My shiny magby sitting in pokemon home thanks you.
What happens if the egg is “?” On it? Can I still hatch it? I’m scared to hatch it, but I wanna get rid of it
Yeah, you can still hatch it. If the Pokemon has ??? in the name when it hatches, I think you can just go to the name rater and fix it
@@therealPinta77 is it safe to keep a shiny pokemon that came from a ? egg?
How do you soft reboot?
Press and hold L, R and start or select. For 3DS Virtual console
@@therealPinta77 of/ or??
@@cfroggy420 or sorry
@@therealPinta77 and*
A+B+Start+Select for soft reset on any gen 2 or 3 game.
I was messing around with the save glitch a while and accidentally corrupted my pc, I had a Zapdos and articuno that had weird moves lol
I can’t get the method to work
Can I save my game right before it’s about to hatch?.Because I only have one odd egg :(
No, unfortunately that won't work. Once you get the egg, it is already predetermined if it will be shiny or not
@@therealPinta77 oh alrightttt , thank you so much !
I’ve gotten all of listed Pokémon from the list except pichu, that’s the only one I have yet to hatch.
Is it only crystal version?
Yes
@@therealPinta77 oh
I've been trying to get Magby for the past week, and I still haven't gotten him out the odd egg
I got a shiny magby that I tried cloning and she got deleted. Her name was salsa :(

I'm going to replay crystal soon and I want to train a shiny igglybuff, wish me luck!

Wish u best luck
Magby and Tyrogue are the best shinies tho
Tyrougue is a cool one. I want to try for that one
@@therealPinta77
good luck!
i gave up and got a shiny jynx instead which is not great but better than nothing.
tyrogue, pichu and igglybuff are the ones i want to get
@@wladek_bl I was super lucky the first time. I got a shiny Pichu.
I must be really lucky. I replayed Gen 1 & 2 a ton as a kid and I never got a shiny

They didn't call the egg shiny itself a glitch. The methods of cloning the egg are the glitches
You can't put your Pokémon from the VC games into BW/B2W2 or XY/ORAS.
You can transfer them to xy Oras through Pokemon transporter, then move them to the game from bank
@@ghostlyowl2302 Nope. The Pokémon from the VC games can only be transferred up to Gen7 minus the Let'sGo games.

@@Kanethedragon No, you can't. You can transfer VC Pokémon to gen7 games.

Wait you can transfer them to gen 5? How?
right?
I got pichu shiny idk how on the egg i was playing normally i dint do glitch
For some reason, I cannot transfer my shiny magmar to pokemon bank.
I also didn’t do the clone glitch at all.
