"Pokemon Scarlet & Violet" is a glitchy game in its present version, and some gamers found a way to use it to their advantage, with several hacks to where they can make more of what there is.
Some call it cheats, while others call it a glitch in the game, but it centers on two advantages for gamers including duplicating items and respawning caught Shiny Pokemon again.
'Pokemon Scarlet & Violet' Cheats Surfaces Because of Glitch
LifeHacker reported that there are different cheats and glitches on the "Pokemon Scarlet & Violet" which were confirmed by Polygon to work for all gamers in the current version of the game.
These glitches center on duplicate items and Pokemon appearing again and again in the game, meaning that users may have access to unlimited respawn of their needs.
It is a massive problem for some, but other gamers have capitalized on this by getting more items or recatching Shiny Pokemon for their lineup.
How to Duplicate Items, Respawn Shiny Pokemon Again
One is the duplicate items hack by a TikTok user named Jo (@wskystudio), where she received a lot of items in a setup picnic table while breeding her Fire-type starting Pokemon.
Jo said the hack is to set up a picnic table on a shiny or sparkly area in the wild, and when left for several hours, would have random items spawning on one's basket over time, with the video showing how she got more than 40 Super Potions.

On the other hand, content creator Austin John revealed on his YouTube channel, Austin John Plays, that there is a way to "duplicate" a Shiny Pokemon in the game.
The trick is to look for a Shiny Pokemon and catch it. After successfully doing so, head to the nearest town, and before crossing the threshold of this place, save the game. After saving the game, going back to the spawn area of the Pokemon would have the Shiny appear again.
'Pokemon Scarlet & Violet'
Nintendo and Game Freak did not expect the massive backlash and complaints from gamers on their latest "Pokemon Scarlet & Violet" game, especially as it is an AAA-rated game to continue its franchise.
The game is famous for integrating the Generation IX creatures into the game, centering on an all-new region called "Paldea," with new characters for the adventure.
Initially, leaks regarding the game's gym battles also saw significant backlash, especially with its open-world nature where there are no level requirements to access the matches.
People can visit gyms without level specificity but would need to access specific gyms and obtain badges one after the other to unlock their offers and rewards.
"Pokemon Scarlet & Violet" is not Nintendo and Game Freak's best release at the present, especially with what the company experienced from the public in this recent availability of the game.
Not to mention the many glitches and cheats that flood the game now, defeating the purpose of gamers working hard to get the items and Pokemon they want to catch.
