Legendary Pokémon and item duplication glitches discovered in Scarlet and Violet

More glitches have been discovered in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (who would have thunk it) which allow players to duplicate items, and even their legendary Pokémon.

Plenty of bugs and exploits have already been found, whether it’s creating body horror or duplicating shiny Pokémon, but this is on a different level. In the game, you’re supposed to only have one of the legendaries, whether that’s Koraidon or Miraidon, but now you can fill up your boxes with them.

These new-found glitches have been widely discussed in the Pokémon community, and they’re not that difficult to pull off. One has been tested by yours truly, and I can confirm it works. The other requires you to have beaten the end-game, which I’ve not reached yet so I can’t confirm at the moment whether it works or not. Beware some spoilers ahead!

Item duplication can be done in two ways. The first is extremely easy, but you don’t know what you’ll get until you actually set everything up. All you need to do is find a sparkling spot on the ground and set up a picnic on top of it. After a bit, check your basket and you should find the item in there. The longer you stay, the more you’ll get. I did this last night and got a lot of Cheri berries, which aren’t that valuable, but if you’re lucky you could end up with some ingredients for making TMs or treasures that sell for high amounts like nuggets and pearl strings.
