Manaphy Egg Glitch

[Hikari14]

There have been posts around here about a Manaphy Egg Glitch. Some say it has been published in a Nintendo Power Mag. Some claim that they have it in their games, but don't know exactly how they got it.

Please share what you know, then maybe we can figure out how to activate such a glitch in our games. Surely many of us want to have it too, right?

There has been claims that this also works on the US version.

Here is how I did it:

01) Go to Route 213 (while it's raining). Battle a wild Pokemon.
02) Capture the wild Pokemon.
03) Walk around for an undetermined amount of time, preferably a long amount?
04) Fly to a Town/City (does not seem to matter which one).
05) Go to the Pokemon Center.
06) Check your Pokemon, you should have two of the same Pokemon as you just captured.
07) Don't ever battle with the cloned Pokemon and do not check its status.
08) Walk around a lot (somewhere between 100,000 and 143,032 steps)
09) Every once-in-a-while check your Pokemon.
10) Eventually the cloned Pokemon will become a Manaphy egg (however the egg appears the same as a normal egg).
11) Hatch the egg and get a Manaphy.

Two empty slots does not seem to work, I don't know why. I have the very first version of the game (in Japanese) and I have never gone to Wi-Fi.
I hope this has helped you people and just so you all know even though I have got this to work three times now, sometimes, the glitch does not work.

Happy Hunting!

HIGHLIGHTS

I am one of the people who have it in their game. I dont know how I did it but I know it has something to do with the rain.

*has read all the posts* Looks like you're all wondering who discovered the glitch and your reading me. I discovered the glitch in Nov. This happend twice. One on Rt 212 and 213. 212 everyone knows is it's where it's raining heavily, 213 is near the ocean. Here's what happend on both occasions:
212. Had two pokemon in party while looking for a female Wooper. Caught one and put it in the PC and went back and looked around more and getting items. Next day after I woke up to play more the egg appeared in the party. No AR on at the time.
213. Used AR to get the legends from Honen to fill up my dex. Got the Regis until I got the Rock one. When getting Latios it went to the PC. My mind 'What the? He should be in my party.' Looked in party and found another Manaphy egg. AR was on at the time to catch legends.
The glitch is in the game not AR. No other code was on and it was the Wild Pokemon event code only. I can't have too many codes on at the same time.To me this has to do with the water or like Pokerus. All you need is luck to find one and it has been confirmed by Nintendo Power. Unclear if the glitch of the egg will be removed from the game. Let's hope not! This glitch does nothing to your game. All it is a lucky or good glitch. You need an empty box in your party to get one or you won't get one. So there are confirminations on the forums that the glitch does exist.

Umm, okay, but the confirmation by NP themselves question from me hasn't been answered.

I'll try it when I have more time, and that I'm more Manaphy-less. ^_~

Okay, let's try to make our search more, organized. Everyone is saying it's intentional, if it is, we need to take some steps to that we've agreed on/makes sense to get our one/more blue eggs of joy.

1. Get a Fione
2. Get ONLY Fione and NOT Manaphy in your Dex/possession/whatever. (Please note that even if you don't have the Nat. Dex, Fione is still techincally accounted for in the Dex)
3. Get 5 Pokes in your team, with one of them being Fione.
4. Go to Route 212/213 and walk around until bundle of joy hits your face.

NOTE: Number two was personally added by me as a step via common sense. If you already have a Manaphy, why do you need more? If GF really added this on purpose those with Manaphy (like me) won't be able to get this glitch unlike those with ONLY Fione. And by having, I mean in your Dex. Because GF is smart enough to know the trade-away and trade back business is how people would possibly "exploit" this feature oyherwise.

Follow these steps, and let the hunt begin!

Here's my theory why the glitch in the game exists.

1. It depends on what JP version of the games you have. I have the version with the glitches in it. I'm not sure if it exists in the versions that don't have the glitches since the report of these were out and JP fixed them. I got my game in Nov.
2. Fione. Some people think Fione has to do with the Manaphy glitch. I got my Fione as an egg 2 wks before the Manaphy egg glitch showed up in my party.
3. Like the Celebi glitch? It's possible. Some are saying this glitch is like the Celebi. I never have encountered the Celebi glitch in the games before. This is my first glitch from an Import game. Rest of my games are US versions. It seems like it's an Isolated glitch that rarely appers.

Listening to these people's theories on this thread I have to agree with them all.

1. Must go to one of the rainy routes (212-213)
2. Must have an open space for the egg
3. You must enter a battle to get it, unsure if it is a trainer or not, thought i heard it was a wild battle, so I'll go with that
4. You MAY or MAY NOT need flione in your party, some people claim that, but others claim that they didn't have flione when they got manphy
5. You must WIN the battle, lossing doesn't count, I'm guessing
6. It's based on luck, as far as we know, but it may depend on the levels of the pokemon, shared moves, natures, amount of pokemon, or any other factor such as a shared DV or IV which'll be almost impossible to discover
7. Er, 7 is lucky, right? so there has to be 7 steps, to give us all the luck we need... ok... i'm done dusting, it's my turn to go out into the world of pokemon

Er, since someone else quoted me before, i guess I'll repost this... Tell me if there's anything new...

I have a theroy. You know the guy at the pokemart that gives you the egg once you send it over to D/P? Maybe his coding is a little similar to ont of those trainers at route 213 or something. thats why, after the battle, it gets mixed up, and the fione being the offspring of a manaphy, which gives it also similar coding, makes the game produve a manaphy egg cause the game believes the trainer you just battles was the guy who gave you the manaphy egg.
_____________________________________________

Lemme explain this celebii glich. The reson that when it appears in the wild, is becasue there was going to ba an event wher you have to go to route 123. then you meet somone there. they talk about celebii. they give you an item. as long as you have that item in your key items pocket, then you can randomly flind celebii, like latios or latias. They later decided to never do that event. The data code for that item, is simlar to the code for pokemon comming out of their balls when in a battle. Scince it is, sometimes the gam gets mixed up, and you may find a wild celebii. it was supposed to be that if you talk to that person again after fiding celebii, then she sais i though i saw another celebii, but it was red! And it droped this item! she gives you anter key item that lets you find another celebii that is always shiney. Thats why if you do find celebii which is rare, then it has a higher chance of being a shiney that any other pokemon. Or atleast thats what my friend told me. Not sure how legit it is.

Yeah, m190049 i agree partially with that theory. It would take alot of qualified game scripting practice to figure it out though. Also why would the game transfer a Pokemart scripted event and allow it to transpass into Raining routes anyhow. The part i agree with is the fact that one of the trainers out there has a similar script to the PokeMart man and that is what activates the event. Just a personal theory... Seeing as the Manaphy Egg script consists of alot of talk about the Egg then maybe hatching a Fione Egg in the rainy routes with only 3 other Pokemon in your party activates the scripting event...
Why you ask?

A: One of the routes battle scripts is similar to the PokeMart man's script.
B: Hatching a Fione, which is connected to Manaphy may confuse the game into thinking it is Manaphy since one of the scripts concerns him. Thus giving you the egg.
C: Seeing as Manaphy is the only Pokemon that can breed a Pokemon that does not evolve into itself, its script is unique. If that script becomes garbled, such as by activating an event concerning Fione, (A.K.A Egg Hatching in the same route as the script) the game may well become garbled itself and give you a Manaphy egg seeing as it counted hatching a fione as talking to the PokeMart man seeing as his script is in the route.

Sorry its so garbled up there, but if this works i take full credit -_-, though i doubt it will.

BREAKTHROUGH?!
I had two extra spaces in my slot.. Than i went to catch a female wooper at the rainy zone at rt 112.. Than i fought another wooper and won, they turned off my game.. After that, i turned on my game.. The last slot was empty.. was sad to not see an egg there.. than i flew to the town with gts, and went to gts.. Before i traded any pokemon or anything, i realised that my last slot has another wooper(different level and stats).. So my guess is tat after u on your game, a pokemon would be generated in your last slot, based on where you go..
EDIT: i left my wifi on the whole time i was playing...

I've got it! Perhaps it's if you have Wi-Fi on when you are not using it and then you go to GTS the last Pokemon in your party is duplicated. Since MorgSter just caught a Wooper, it was the last Pokemon in his party and was duplicated. Rather or not it has the same stats and everything or is just a copy of the Pokemon's signature (what Pokemon it is) is unknown. Phione probably cloned into the Manaphy egg because of some weird reason relating to Phione being breeded by Manaphy but not evolving into said Pokemon, and said Pokemon being an egg when it is received or because Phione/Manaphy's relationship being completely through breeding and eggs. More investigating is definitely needed first but hopefully by the time D/P come out it will be known what it is.

Wow i was just getting ready to write a thread on this lol, this glitch just happend to me and i've got it to work multiple times now ^.^
i've read threw this thread and i think most of these people are either A Liar's or B found a diffrent way of doing it, here is how i havee found
out how to do it. you must first have the following things with you

A) Pokeball
B) Fione
C) 3 Empty pokemon Slot's

here is how i've done it

1) got to route 213 (while raining) Battle a Wild Pokemon
2) Capture the wild pokemon
3) Fly to a Town/City (does not seem to matter which one)
4) go to the Pokemon center
5) Check your pokemon, you should have 2 of the same pokemon as you just captured
6) Don't not ever battle with the cloned pokemon and do not check its status
7) Walk around alot
8) Every once in a while check your pokemon
9) Eventrualy the Cloned Pokemon will become a Manaphy Egg (however the egg apear's the same as a normal egg)
10) Hatch the egg and Get a Manaphy

two empty Slots does not seem to work i don't know why. i have the very first version of the game and i have never been Wi-Fi
i hope i helped you people and just so you all know even thow i have got this to work 3 time's now soem times the glitch does not
work. Usaly from exeprencie Wooper's seem to work the best

happy hunting

Sorry about the Wooper thing, i was trying to Respond to some thing some one said earlyer in the thread i tryied to quote them earlyer in the thread and the Quote didnt appear lol

1) No you don't not have to have just 1 pokeball you can have as many as you like
2) no the clone does not appear for some time usaly walking around makes it happen
3) not really, you have to walk bewteen 100,000 and 143,032 step before the Cloned pokemon becomes a egg.

I am one of the people who have it in their game. I dont know how I did it but I know it has something to do with the rain.

 

[Kamen Rider Kabuto]

Great googly Moogly, Its raining eggs J/K

On a more actualy serious note this is a interesting find, Hopefuly they miss it for the US one. In fact I wish that alot of glitches were left on (Like the Darkrai/Sheimi/Just walk around E4 one) but Nintendo unfortunatly caught that one, But hopefuly they miss that one and everyone knows how to manipulate it by then

 

[Hikari14]

To Pachirisu:

Have you been just walking around in the rain? Did you have a manaphy in your party? or a manaphy egg to be hatched before a new manaphy egg appeared?

 

[Shining Shadow]

If we can find a way to preform this glitch it will teach Pokemon.Com to keep us waiting!!

Pachirisu: Where you in the black land behind the E4 room? or were you just walking around normally?

 

[Pachirisu]

To everyone who asked about it: I was not doing the elite four glitch, when I discovered the glitch I was in the rain battling someone and then after the battle the egg was in my party, this has happened twice, and I did not do anything involved with Manaphy that day.

 

[Shining Shadow]

Could you possibly tell us what Pokemon you were using and if you had any others in your party what they were aswell?

 

[Meowth! That's right!]

This is an awesome discovery and I hope it goes over Nintendo's heads so they don't take it out of the games. I remember another girl who posted on this forum saying she got a Manaphy egg said she was walking around in the rain and the next day she turned on the game and a Manaphy egg was in her party... I also think she had a Fione (which she got from someone else) in her party while she walking around in the rain.

People should start trying to perfect this glitch and write a guide for it! This could be the Mew Glitch of the 4th generation!

 

[squirtleboy12]

i know is awsome but i think we have to calm down beccause nintendo might figured out and any other d/p games going to be realese in any other part of the world wont have that wonderfull glitch

 

[Hikari14]

There was also a post in another thread that says he/she got it while in a wi-fi battle. Is it possible that it's thru wi-fi, that you get a certain signal which activates a program to produce a manaphy egg in a game. Can anyone please comment on this?

 

[kiera2]

Does anyone else think that it might be intentional?

It just seems too serendipitous to be a glitch. All other glitches have been by exploiting programming faults, none of them just happen with no action on the behalf of the player.

Add to that the fact that it's to do with the rain, and Manaphy being especially related to water...

(Edited for speeeling.)

 

[_Calm|Mind_]

Did you use a cheating device for any purpose or trade with someone on Wi-Fi?

Hmm perhaps... but whatever it is we gotta figure out how to duplicate it!

 

[Hikari14]

I hope we can get infos about what was published by Nintendo Power Mag. about this glitch. Maybe we can get some pointers from there. Anyone read about it yet?

 

[Shining Shadow]

I have been exploring the rainy route below the fourth gym city for some time, S-Ring occasinally to check the same battles quite a few times, Still no Manaphy.

*EDIT* Ooh new rank

 

[ArmchairRomeo]

Wow, this is... great! I highly doubt it's a glitch though. Seems very intentional...

Same here. I even have my manaphy in my party, and leaving 2 free spaces for the possible eggs to appear....nothing special is happening...no eggs at all.

 

[Shining Shadow]

I have only 1 Manafi in my party and the rest as free spaces. Might switch over to the route above the breeding town.

 

[Rainbow Ho-Oh]

well maybe (since I don't think ranger can trade with D/P) there is a signal emitted even though the egg isn't hatched yet (so you get the egg).

 

[Waffles]

Pachirisu, you said it happened twice to you. Which route were you on?
