A glitch in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet lets you duplicate any Legendary Pokemon

A number of duplication glitches have been discovered in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, including ones that apparently allow players to duplicate Legendary Pokemon.

Polygon informs that some TikTok users have apparently found ways to duplicate not just items, but Legendary Pokemon as well, the latter of which is significant since only two of the boxed Legendary Pokemon for each game are typically available.

The item glitch takes advantage of the picnic system. If a player places a picnic table on top of a shiny area on the ground, the item found in that shiny area can seemingly be duplicated endlessly, when normally the item would disappear after picking it up once.

The legendary duplication glitch requires players to have completed the game past the Area Zero quest line and be able to transform their travel Pokémon, Miraidon or Koraidon, into battle form.

Once players have done that, the goal is to trick the game into allowing them to deposit the Pokémon in the storage box, something they shouldn’t be able to do. However, as Polygon reports, some players have been able to make the required entries fast enough to trick the game into depositing the Pokemon in the storage box and have the Pokemon stay in their party.
