Notes:
* You can clone both ITEMS and POKEMON
* You need WI-FI to be able to preform this glitch
* Your file is 100% Safe from being deleted (Your game has double save
technology, where it stores the other saved file as a BACKUP)
* Make sure to ALWAYS offer your pokemon to a pokemon that no one will have.
That way noone takes your pokemon during the process.
* If you wanna DUPLICATE a Item, Give the desired item to the pokemon you are
willing to duplicate.


Instructions:
Step 1
Goto to the Global Trading Station(GTS). And Log in.

Step 2
Once your in the main menu of the Global Trading Station. Goto "Deposit".
Since this is your FIRST time doing so. use a Pokemon that you don't care
about.

Step 3
Depost the pokemon(that you don't like) into the GTS, make sure you offer it
for a Pokemon that NO ONE would trade for it. Cause if someone trades for the
pokemon in the GTS, Then the whole process goes bye bye.

Step 4
This is the hard part. It should even be considered as the main step
into duplicating your Pokemon.
If you are afraid your Pokemon would be traded during the Process, then please
refer to the Article about "Preventing Your Pokemon from
being Traded".

After depositing your Pokemon It will now say: "Checking GTS's Status...."
Then on the VERY RIGHT of that message. You will see a CLOCK.
The clock is considered as a LOADING CLOCK. Well this Little clock here is the
KEY to duplicating your pokemon succesfuly.

Alright you want your Clock to go around 8 Times. On the 8th spin. SHUT YOUR
DS OFF.
It DOESN'T have to be exactly 8 spins! If you cannot get it to go
around 8 times, then please read the Article about "If your DS doesn't make it
to the 8th spin".
Your goal is to shut your DS OFF 1 TICK before it the loading is complete.
*Make sure your not to close to your router for this. The Closer.. You
are, the faster the connection.



Heres a little .Gif Animation. I hope this helps alot of people.

Step 5
Turn your game on. You should get a error message:
"Your file has been corrupted. Previous file will be loaded"

Don't worry. This is normal. Your file is SAFE. Don't belive me? Then please
go somewhere else.

Step 6
Log back into GTS. If done correctly. you should have 1 POKEMON in your
BOX/PARTY and the other in GTS waiting for your to retrieve it.

Step 7
LOGOUT AND SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!!!

If your DS doesn't make it to the 8th spin:
1. Deposit a Pokemon that has no value. Example: Bidoof, Starly,
ect.
2. Once you deposit, you would find a message saying "Checking GTS's
Status" along with a clock.
3. Count exactly how many spins it takes until the trade started.
Repeat this step and log down how many diffrent results you've counted. Do it
about 3-5 times.
4. After completing your log. See where your clock stoped MOST of the
times. Lets say your clock always stopped at 7.30. Then next time you do it,
you would shut it off at 7.25, or possibly 7.15.

Preventing Your Pokemon from being Traded:
Follow these 4 easy steps. And your Pokemon will be less likely to be traded.
1. Never, I repeat. NEVER ask for a Legendary Pokemon, Hackers ALWAYS go for
them first.
2. Choose a Pokemon that no one would have in their box. EXAMPLE: Oddish,
Starly, Mankey, Gastly, Ect.
3. NEVER ask for a level 9 and under Pokemon. ALWAYS ask for level 100.
4. To reduce the chances of your Pokemon being traded even more, is by
specifying your Gender. This will reduce your Pokemon from being traded by a
long shot.

Some questions!

Is it for GBA or NDS, if its for GBA well and good if its not then there will be two more questions.....
Can this be run on PC or not, if it cant be well and good but if it can then there will be only one question

HOW?

Obviously it's for the Nintendo DS, this is the Diamond & Pearl forum, and D/P is a DS game not GBA.

And the trick above uses Wi-fi, which is not yet implemented in the emulators, so nope that trick can only be followed on a Nintendo DS console, with D/P cart and Wi-fi ability.

k BTW can you tell me how to clone in GBA if it can be done!

Check out the Emerald forum, I posted a sticky there.
Well, yes the GTS is really messed up now, atleast this is not a surefire way to clone now.

its got nothing to do with the clock honestly.....IF you know correctly.... Its got to do with the wifi router.....


There shud be 2 lights named - 'Internet' and 'WLAN' (as it appears in my router)

When that clock is ticking...you don't have to see the clock.....look at these 2 lights.....they will go mad(fluctuate) as you start to deposit....
and as you come to 8th round.....the lights will fluctutate again....thats the time when you gotta switch off your ds......This way is the best.....you might be having probs will the 8-rounds-way......

I have tried a bit like this, but not much into it, dunno why my games' crashed a lot of times doing this gimmish.
