The Shiny Ditto Glitch is a glitch between the first and second generation games which allows the user to turn a normal Ditto into a shiny one. Once completed, the user will have a shiny ditto which can then be used to breed other shiny Pokemon.
Preparing for the Glitch
Before you begin, you will need a few things:
- A copy of any of the first generation games(R/B/Y)
- A copy of any of the second generation games(G/S/C)
- A game trading cable
- The red Gyarados from the second generation games
- A pokedoll
Performing the glitch
Here are the steps:
- 1. Trade your red Gyarados to R/B/Y
- 2. Give your Pokedoll to Copycat(She lives in the north-western part of Saffron City) and she will give you TM 31, Mimic.
- 3. Teach Mimic to Gyarados, and then trade it back to G/S/C
- 4. Go to Blackthorn city and have the Move Deleter(who lives in the southern part of the city to the left of the Pokemart) delete every one of Gyarados' moves besides Mimic
- 5. Trade Gyarados back to R/B/Y and fight a wild Ditto(they can be found at Routes 13, 14, 15, 23, and Cerulean Cave) with your Gyarados
- 6. Let Ditto use Transform
- 7. Make Gyarados use Mimic
- 8. Let the Ditto use Transform once more
- 9. Catch the Ditto
- 10. Once traded back to G/S/C, the Ditto will be shiny
The Point?
Normally, you have a 1/8192 chance of encountering a shiny Pokemon in the wild. However, when breeding with a shiny Pokemon, the chances are raised to 1/64. Since Ditto can breed with most Pokemon, a shiny Ditto can be used to drastically increase the chances of breeding a shiny Pokemon.
