So I can confirm that the
Arbitrary Code Glitch still works in Red and Blue! Now what does this mean? I used this to get Pokemon with
Perfect DVs, which might be useful for Pokemon Sun and Moon!
Just note, apparently this glitch doesn't work with the French versions, sorry!
Jibaku and
TheMantyke wanted me to go into how to pull this off, so I'll talk about it. I mostly looked at stuff from Glitch City Labs: those dudes are the expert on Pokemon glitches, so you should thank them!
Step 1: Get 8F
8F is the source of all this madness
. Its this item that enables you to basically do almost anything in RBY! Getting it is pretty complicated though, so I'm going to link to this youtube video that a glitch city labs user made.
Before you can start, you'll need: an item you don't mind tossing, 255 X Specials, and a removable item (I recommend a fossil to use at Cinnabar Island)/ An important thing the video doesn't mention is how to get 255 X Special. You buy one X Special, and do the usual Missingno. Glitch. THEN, you discard two X Specials (remember, Missingno. gives you 128 clones for the item in the 6th slot), then you encounter Missingno. again to get the extra 128 X Specials you need for 255 X Specials.
Step 2: Get the right party.
You will need a very specific party of Pokemon in the
EXACT order listed to actually be able to use 8F. Using 8F without one of these parties
WILL CRASH YOUR GAME! Glitch City Labs seems to have two different parties. I'm not sure if they do different things, but I'll list the party I used to activate 8F. If for any reason you need the other party though, I'll link to it, maybe only certain glitches work with that one?
First Party (the one I used): (Gotten from http://glitchcity.info/wiki/index.php/Arbitrary_code_execution)
Pidgey with 233 HP (I personally Rare candied Pidgey to level 100, then gave it HP Ups till it was close enough to be STAT exp trained to 233 HP)
Parasect
Onix
Tentacool
Kangaskhan
Second Party (The one from this post: http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6638.0.html)
Step 3: Get the right item "recipe"
Just blindly using 8F will also crash your game. In addition to having the right party, you also need to have the right items in your bag in a
VERY SPECIFIC ORDER!
Thanks to Glitch City Labs users
Torchickens and
Searinox , here's a code that can be used to get perfect DVs on the first Pokemon in your active box! (source:
http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6638.msg198973.html#msg198973 )
Recipe
Any item
8F
178 X Accuracys
218 Carbos
255 Lemonades
50 Pokeballs
201 Water Stones
Once you have the correct order of items and quantity of items, and
ONLY THESE ITEMS IN THE BAG, simply use 8F, and TADA: The first Pokemon in your active box will now have perfect DVs!
Other things you can do with 8F
There are plenty of other crazy things you can do with 8F and the right recipe too. I actually changed my name in the game to change what I could get at Cinnabar Island via a certain recipe, and according to the thread, you can use 8F to capture trainer Pokemon, Walk Through Walls, pretty much anything you could imagine as long as you have the right recipe in your bag!
Just be careful though, like I said: I only used the first party of Pokemon, and I've only used it to change my name and get perfect DVs. I'm not sure if things react differently or not depending on the party. It's very easy to crash the game if you just mess up even one step!
For more details on what you can do with 8F, and more recipes I haven't tried out, check out this Glitch City Labs thread! It's how I was able to do all this crazy stuff lol http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6638.0.html
