Pokemon Did You Knows?

[TheRealJDawgz]

There is a glitch in Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heartgold, and Soulsilver. It involves the use of Rage, and Transform in a Double Battle.

There are two ways around this glitch. The first is to get into a Double Battle (via Vs. Seeker or Pokegear) and send out Ditto (or Mew if you want) and the Pokemon using Rage. Have Ditto Trasnsform into the Pokemon using Rage. Make Ditto waste all of the PP of Rage having it's last Rage "building" by attacking it with your own Pokemon (not sure if that's necessary) then finish off the last Pokemon with Ditto. After the battle your Ditto should know all the same attacks that the Pokemon using Rage did. This makes Ditto able to use moves other than Transform on its own and allows it to be able to win Super Contests.





The second way around this trick practically is similar, but it involves a third Pokemon that knows Mimic or another copying attack. Send out the Ditto and the Mimic user. Have Ditto Transform into any Pokemon on the field and have your other Pokemon Mimic it, learning Transform. Switch out Ditto for a Pokemon that knows Rage and have your other Pokemon use Transform on the Rage user. Waste all the transformed Pokemon's Rage PP and finish the last Pokemon off with its rage building. The Pokemon that used to know Mimic now knows the Rage Pokemon's moves.





It's probably easier to watch the video.

Basically, this glitch involves Rage, Mimic, and Transform to allow Ditto or any Mimic user to learn practically any move. So why is this glitch so special?

1) Ditto can win Super Contests, which would be impossible with just Transform

2) Any Pokemon from Gen I, II, or III can learn Mimic via Move Tutor in Firered/Leafgreen (note that the Pokemon can learn moves and doesn't fall under the "can't learn any moves category" like Magikarp)

3) Smeargle can learn Rage and 3 other moves of your choice

2 and 3 together can lead to your Mimic Pokemon learning practically any 3 moves it desires using this glitch. This can lead to some deadly movesets. For example...

Alakazam: Psychic, Aura Sphere, Tail Glow, Spore
Moltres: Eruption, Aeroblast, Solarbeam, Water Spout
Ninjask: Spore, Belly Drum, Protect, Baton Pass

And possibly the worst of them all...

SHEER COLD NO GUARD MACHAMP.

EDIT: You san use this glitch with Ditto to easily pass down egg moves. While it's a bit more tedious you can get move combinations you couldn't before (i.e. Squirtle w? Aqua Jet + Water Spout) A bit intersestong but if you wanna break the game, go all the way
