Working Pokémon Yellow MissingNo! NO DITTO MANIPULATION 

For anyone who's wondering, the pokémon you can find with a wild level 80 Starmie are: Rattata , Raticate, Nidorina, Geodude, Aerodactyl, Magnemite, Bad Missingno, Charmander, Squirtle, Wartortle, Good Missingno, Oddish, Vileplume and Weepinbell.

Many thanks for the tutorial dude. It helped me a lot while trying to complete the pokedex, the funny thing is that I did the duplication glitch 2 times, and in both I got super lucky and encountered 2 good missignos on the first try (the first time was I got a Ghost missigno, the second time was a Kabutops Skeleton Missigno)

I very rarely comment, but this worked! For those who have run out of trainers to battle, you can use Strength to move a boulder and that should count as a battle.

I know this might be a very late reply, but I really appreciate you making this video. It helped out a bunch! Thanks so much!

Did this for the 1st time ever today on my real Yellow cartridge. The 1st attempt produced a Level 7 Squirtle. On the second attempt, i captured the Level 80 Starmie and Ghost Missingno showed afterwards. This Starmie that has a 184 Special stat also corresponds with always encountering Ghost Missingno through the Ditto Glitch. Rare Candies have been cloned. Now its time to clone me some Master Balls. Thanks a bunch for this awesome video!!!.

This was absolutely worth doing! Thank you for your help. It worked for me I think faster than when you tried. I just wanted a shiny ditto for Gen II and now I have the master balls to catch one. Appreciate this again. Big help!

I love unedited tutorials, makes it so much easier thanks bro

I'm amazed how people just keep finding ways to crack the game. Well done!

I should probably add that two different stable ones can appear. These are the ghost in the video, and the Kabutops skeleton. Whilst a third stable form exists (the Aerodactyl fossil), it cannot appear through this method. This is because the three stable variants appear by using special stats of 182 (Kabutops), 183 (Aerodactyl) and 184 (ghost). Due to the way Starmie's stats work at level 80, it cannot have a special stat of 183 when you encounter it, thus only two of the three stable forms can appear. Also, whilst nothing should go wrong, some claim the black screen has corrupted their saves. I, for one, have not had a save corruption after getting the black screen countless times, and everything should be fine if you follow the instructions exactly, but regardless, be aware of the potential risk. I'm not responsible if things go wrong.

Hell yeah my friend i followed your steps and i think my 6th or 7th attempt worked! After trying other methods i believe this is the fastest with the quick reset thanks. Also i was able to catch both the starmie and the missingno kabutups version

This still totally works. Working on filling my yellow pokedex and lvling everything is slow going so I gave this a try, absolutely works and is greatly appreciated!

Great tutorial. To make future Missingno attempts easier, you can catch the Lv 80 Starmie. What the Starmie's Special stat is determines what appears. You can get the stable Missingno if it has a Special of 182, 183 or 184. If you catch it and want to do the trick again, you can do the Trainer Fly Escape like before, change PC boxes to save and reset to get your Start menu back and then battle a trainer, or push a bolder with Strength. (The guy who takes you to the Pewter City Museum also works.) All the game cares about is having a walk animation completed. Finally, go to Cinnabar Island Pokemon Mansion and find a Ditto. Have it transform into your Starmie, which makes it copy the Special. As the Pokemon found is determined by the Special stat of the last Pokemon you battled against, run away and use Dig or Escape Rope. Fly to the city closest to your long range trainer you escaped from if you hadn't healed at the closest Pokemon Center. (If you did, Dig/Escape Rope will take you there, no need to Fly. Another note is Teleport also works like Fly for escaping from trainers.) For a more detailed explanation, lookup Ditto Glitch.

Here's a method to know if this will work on a certain attempt (only attempt if you have a pokémon level 80 or over): 1) do everything the video says except for using the poké doll 2) instead of using the doll, attempt to capture the starmie 3) check its special stat. If the number is 182, 183, or 184, you are going to encounter one of the stable missingno variants. If not, reset and try again.

You're a life saver dude. It actually worked on my second attempt (got a lvl 7 Vileplume on the first one). Thanks!

Thank you so much for this! I saw a dozen other videos that seemed much more complicated than yours. I was about to give up but I found yours that was much more simpler. God bless you brother and thanks once again!🙏

Thanks man, I try this in pokemon yellow with differents ways to find Missigno, but your video is the real solution, again thanks man.

I kno this video is old but I JUS DID THIS GLITCH years later after this video was made and it still works .. ALOT less complicated and takes half the time .. good job bro til this day u save lives 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👏🏽💯

I think I accidentally discovered a new glitch that pretty much makes duplication glitches impossible. The first time doing this a few months ago, I was able to redo the glitch several times, but on my recent go around I could only do it once. I got my 121 or whatever it is rare candies, but when I tried it again, I tried to do it on my own and got the order wrong. I talked to the girl before battling anyone. After that, I couldn’t trainer fly twice. Even after saving via pc. The second trainer, and in fact, no trainer will see me unless I walk up to them and talk to them. It’s like I’m completely invisible. Once you battle them though, it’s a never ending loop of battles that get glitchier and glitchier until it eventually crashes the game. It kinda scared me the first time tbh. Things got really weird in that battle. The Pokémon names were just gibberish, and the music was replaced with glitchy noises, like constant missingno cries and a really loud buzzing sound. After several loops, the game froze, the sound was that loud static buzz, and the textures slowly turned into that weird missingno texture. I did find that a gym trainer will see you and fix the game. Afterwards, once leaving the town, you encounter a glitch Pokémon and then it goes back to normal. However, I still can’t trainer fly twice. I 100% stand by this walkthrough, but DO NOT get the order wrong.

So a modification on this to avoid using up trainers. Use both the old man west of lavender and the trainer north of cereleum city, but what you do is 1. Old man > Fly to Cereleum, use box change, reset 2. Young man > Fly to Pewter City, use box change, reset 3. Speak to the man next to the Mart and say 'No' you haven't seen the mueseum, he'll then walk you there 4. Fly to either city, walk to the route where the person was, encounter glitch 1, it'll be Starmie lvl 80 5. Fly to the remaining city, encounter glitch 2, either crashing, a random pokemon or possibly, missingno. Hope this helps someone save hunting trainers.

I have been looking for this video for a long time ever since I forgot to add to watch later lol

I'm currently doing my best on a Professor Oak challenge in Yellow (obviously can't complete due to needing Red Blue AND Yellow to complete Yellow) but I'm definitely doing this on my next playthrough in trying to get Gen 1 shinies

ill add that if you forgot pokedoll or you need to buy something you can fly to celadon to stock up after beating the trainer.

Still Works in 2022, I got it in 2 trys. I got the kabutops skeleton. I'll probably do it one more time and that's it

I'm currently doing a New Glitch Nuzlocke and this helped me level up my lv7 glitched-in mons with rare candies! Thank you!!!

Here in 2022 and this still works!!! You gained a sub off of this my friend! My only question is: once you have done this glitch can you replicate it numerous times?

By the way if You for some reason ran out of non long range trainers to battle, or only have ones you left for later, you can use the box save trick for a 2nd time after the rt 24 trainer, Restart and go to somewhere that has a strength boulder, most preferably fuschia in the wardens house as you don't want to waste time in seafoam or vicroad... in which case you could even do the 2nd box save in fuschia with the 2nd fly. The boulder is treated as an npc moving and so completes that part of the mew glitch. Save next to the machoke girl as in the video, and the starmie completes the waiting for battle and pokemon special stat register in ram part of the glitch, and you just rng for the missingno with these reloads for that sweet 129 items, If using usable in battle items, you could even use up 2 and create the item underflow (whether by guard drink (which I skip saffron asmuchaspossible for) or dry method)to get 8F! And be able to do some quirky things (Or yknow... have a hooked metopod leader if... that's your kink)

Im god knows how late. You can talk to the museum guy after the box change, you dont need to battle a trainer

I guess it won't work for me now because you can't leave town to fight a trainer after flying to it.

Very helpful! I even managed to do it with out Fly, only Teleport. Really easy! Though it took a number of resets. But who cares I got Rare Candies galore now! Thanks so much!

thank you so much for the video , it really helped a lot xD

I was doing this along and took about the same amount of tries as you 😂 thanks it worked

Dude... thank you lmfao. Tried ditto manip like 4 times and crashed every time, gave up on it. This works like a charm and is easily redoable for more infinite stuff. Also idk if this is common knowledge or not, but if you switch another item into your 6th item slot after the battle starts, it will also dupe that item. I got this to work first try and switched my rare candies up after I duped the master ball and the candies did the same thing. Don’t know if it’s possible to keep switching items in and duplicating them beyond 2 tho.

Thanks man! You’re a legend!

It worked on the first attempt for me. Thank you!

only one that worked, t6hank you so much

Taser9001 I like how your voice isn't too loud but yet not too soft 😁.

So.. ever since I did this the first time and tried it again, the trainers I haven't battled yet didn't want to walk up to me. I then proceeded to go into Blaine's gym, get the question wrong, fight the trainer and everything went back to normal. I try to do the glitch again and it just doesn't work. The first part where you go to do the first mew glitch, fly to where you have a trainer you can do the mew glitch again on works but then I go to do the second mew glitch and it doesn't work.. Don't know why..

OMG I CAUGHT THE STARMIE! I had all low level Pokémon as I’m doing the glitch just after gen 2 but now with the starmie im not worried about next time I face it.

First try i had it 🥳🥳 first video that works for me !! Thanks grt from belguim

Came here from LJs rock solid vid

Erm what if I’ve defeated all the trainers???😢

I got the ghost, killed it, but no doubled items. Item Slot 6 was not changed at all

I always get a clefable instead of Starmie and I have no idea why and its not working with Clafable anyone know how to fix it? I did the setup multiple times by batteling different trainers with the same resault. Also checked the special stat on clefable and it would never work because the stats arent high enough

What does stable MissingNo's back sprite look like when it uses the ghost/Kabutops/Aerodactyl front sprites?

hey guys I need help I checked his channel and I didn’t see the vid on how he got his pikachu to evolve into a raichu can someone tell me how to do it

thank you this one is perfect it worked for me

Thanks so much keep making pokemon vids

I managed to pull this off with the Kabutops skeleton. Can it be repeated using the same locations or do I need to redo it with new trainers?

Hey! Thank you SO MUCH for this video because I've given up hope because I don't have a Pokemon at a 182-184 special stat. Question: Will this work even though I've already fought that certain trainer in the grass in cerulean city?? Am I able to use a different trainer that I haven't fought?

Are there any other new trainers? I’ve already beaten the one above cerulean city

Am I able to do This with The Nintendo 64 Transfer-Pak with Pokémon Yellow?

can you do this multiple times if you dont kill the missingno

my screen keeps turning red and green

I'm confused how u can uesd fly with only 3 Badges

Thank you for the video.. I have on question.. I already beated all the trainers in the game.. What can I do now to clone more items?? Does it work with the elite four? Thank you

Thanks good

What happens if you catch that lv80 Starmie?

Mine didnt invoke the second menu pop-up :'(

can you repeat this glitch? ive tried speaking to the girl again about trading and following the steps but no pokemon spwans ? do i need to save and come back in again

Hey I'm doing this glitch to the letter and It works all the way up to starmie, but nothing happens when I cross the bridge. Thoughts?

I realize this is a long time after but I have made it to the part where I encounter the Lv 80 Starmie, after pokedolling and going north I never encounter anything on the bridge each time I try.. im not sure what I'm missing can anyone help? Ive been using bikers from the Celadon biker route. Everything has seemed to follow along until the final thing with the encounter of "anything" MissingNo

Hi, thank you so much for the guide! I have a couple questions, if you don't mind. 1) does the kabutops skeleton also duplicate the 6th slot, or only the ghost? and 2) you mentioned key items. In red and blue I clone the fossils so I can get living dex dupes + shiny hunt them, and if I ever need to get rid of them to free up the bag slot, I can do so by reviving and releasing them all. To your knowledge, will I still be able to do that in yellow, or does this version of missingno affect key items differently from red and blue? Thanks again for this great guide!

Got it 3rd try thanks a bunch

Ok I do not recommend catching the missingno. I did this.. had almost 100% the game and had a level 40 missingno.. lost on the final battle of elite four. Restarted the console and my save was currupted. This being for a second time I think i'm done with Pokémon old school for a bit lolol

Great tutorial but one quick question regarding trainer names. This setup is different to the one in RBG obviously but I know in those games the missingno encounter is tied to certain characters in your name being in the correct place 3, 5 or 7 and thats why the Old Man glitch works. Does the Yellow setup still require a specific name or does this method circumvent that requirement entirely?

Darn I think I battled all the trainers in the game already 😕

I wish i found this video and Taser9001 sooner than 2019

In my yellow version. The girl says kadabra for kadabra... and pop up a golduck lvl 153... what im doing grong

Ok I love this method and it’s working? Ok let me break this down. So basically, I already traded with the girl to get a Machamp (Because I wanted them and I didn’t have any friends to trade with) So my real question is do I really need to say NO to her in order for this to work? Can I just simply talk to her and continue or am I just stuck? Because it does work normally. I get the Lvl. 80 Starmie and the second encounters I got so far are Weepinbells and a Missingno that freezes the game. I’m just wondering because I have a weird feeling every encounter with Missingno is a 100% freeze chance.

Unfortunately it doesn't work on cinnabar island 😅 iv no trainers left anywhere

I am trying to do this without fly and only teleport and the 2nd trainer isn't giving me the ! before I teleport away and my menu works right away without the trainer battle so idk what is going on hahah (the trainer battle will prompt the starmie to pop but not the 2nd pokemon to dupe the items)

Hi! This might be a weird question but here we go- So I’m new to glitches and I wanted to mess around and get missingno on my Pokémon yellow save file. I haven’t gotten to lavender town yet because as I said I’ve been messing around with glitches and I was wondering if I could get missingno before lavender town. Perhaps to just prove something to my own self pfft- I’m trying to figure out if there’s a certain Pokémon that has the correct EV’s before lavender, do you know anything that might be helpful?

at the beginning, when ur at that house before u fly to cerulean, can u save anywhere or does it have to be that exact location

Thank you

So far I've seen that all missingno glitches on yellow version involve that trainer hiding in the tall grass, so it means that if I have already beaten him I won't get the glitch?

I always get a lvl 80 Clefable. And on the bridge I get the ghost but the name of the pokemon is ghost aswell, not MissingNo. therefore it's not cloning the item. How can I get to work?

Dose the growlith evolution glitch work on your partner pikachu?

Can we catch the stable missingo, and use it?

Hey, I just learned about this glitch and I am trying to clone master balls and rare candies for a mew shiny hunt. I messed up the first time now the trainers that I used won't react to me walking towards them, how do I fix this? Or do I need to make a new save and go through the game again?

Are there trainers after Fushia City I can perform this glitch with? Because outside of the one near Cerulean City, I might have battled all of them.

Did they patch this? I can’t even get my menu to pop up on the first trainer encounter. Now granted I did beat the trainer in the grass so I have to use another trainer.

I wish I knew this a year ago

I have Yellow on my 3DS and I'm wanting to duplicate TMs... but I may have sorta beat EVERY trainer in the game. Help? Haha

Does anyone know if this can be done on an actual gameboy?

Hey, both of my trainers were on the same route, would this impact anything at all? Once I get the level 80 Starmie to pop up, I return to the route and nothing happens…

I have a question Taser9001 does the item need to be in a certain spot in your bag?

Does this work for Gameboy Advance?

Does it still work if you have already done the cuebone trade?

How exactly did you do the Pikachu glitch? o.o I looked online but couldn’t find it anywhere. Do you have a video you have on it, or can tell me how?

What if i catch the pokemon other than the glitch

I already did the trade can I still do the glitch??

So you fought a hiker in Lavender Town. Since I already fought him, can I fight another trainer instead?

Question where do you get a poke doll

Got it on the 10th attempt.

Idk if anyone will see this but can you do this more than once? Ex: once for rare candies and another time for master balls? @Taser9001

6:02 hi what do you mean by first location ?

M V P! Worked flawlessly

Can you duplicate more than two items at once in one go?

when the screen turned black for a little longer he actually got it, he just didn't know
