Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to the Duplicate Pokemon inside the PC?
The methods for the item duplication glitch are the same as the Pokemon duplication glitch. Releasing the Pokemon inside the PC can be a good thing to do.
There is also no harm in just keeping them there. In fact, it is better to use Pokemon that you don’t plan on using as the holders of the items to be duplicated.
How many items can you duplicate?
You can only duplicate five items at a time, since you can only withdraw five Pokemon from your PC at once.
Are there problems after using the glitch?
The glitch has been around since the first release of Emerald. There are no known problems with the glitch as long as you just follow the steps above.
What items can you duplicate?
Any item that can be given to a Pokemon to hold. If the item cannot be given, then it cannot be held and duplicated like Key Items.
In Closing
That concludes our guide on how to do the Pokemon Emerald item duplication glitch.
