Today, we're covering 37 glitches in Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. These are some of my favorites in the series, and also contain one of the best assortment of glitches. Everything from teaching ditto any moves you want, creating a double substitute in any battle, moving a Pokemon's sprite off the screen, the famous void glitch, activating all 4 weather conditions with the move pursuit, MissingNo, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!
