Pokemon Legends: Arceushas proven to be a smash hit for the Nintendo Switch so far, with millions of gamers rushing out to jump into the latestPokemonadventure. Part of the reason whyPokemon Legends: Arceusis so exciting forPokemonfans is because of the big changes it makes to the establishedPokemonformula, taking the series in bold new directions.
There aremany changes inPokemon Legends: Arceus, but the more things change, the more they stay the same.

To perform the glitch,Pokemon Legends: Arceusplayers first need to make sure auto-save is switched off. The next step is actually finding ashiny Pokemon, which may take some time. And more specifically, it must be a shiny Pokemon that players find in rocks, trees, or treasure chests. After finding and catching a shiny Pokemon that came from a rock, tree, or treasure chest, players need to save their game. Then head into a cave located in the same area, wait for about 30 minutes, return to where the shiny was found, and, if done correctly, there should be a clone of that shiny Pokemon ready to be caught.
Pokemon Legends: Arceusplayers may be most interested in this glitch because it allows them to duplicate shiny Pokemon, but as pointed out by IGN, it works with regular Pokemon as well. So ifPokemon Legends: Arceusplayerswant multiple versions of any particular Pokemon that they find in rocks, trees, or treasure chests, they can use this method to duplicate them. The time it takes for the glitch to work means that players will likely only want to do it for special Pokemon like shinies, if they feel like it’s worth doing at all, however.
This is far from the first time that aPokemongame has had a duplication glitch. Game Freak and Nintendo didn’t have a way to remove the duplication glitches from the olderPokemongames as they didn’t have online connectivity, but it’s quite possible that this glitch will be chopped out ofPokemon Legends: Arceusat some point in the near future. So anyone that wants to take advantage of this particularPokemon Legends: Arceusglitch should make sure to do so as soon as possible.
BesidesPokemon Legends: Arceusupdatesfixing glitches and addressing other issues with the game, it’s possible new content will be added down the line.Pokemon Legends: Arceusis a massive sales success so far, and so it wouldn’t be surprising for Game Freak and Nintendo to prep some DLC expansions for it. Nothing official on that front has been announced at this time, though, so fans should keep their expectations in check.
