Haha nice to know! I'm actually currently setting up a Smeargle to Sketch Ancient Power, Body Slam, and Water Gun specifically so I can trade it to Crystal and breed a decent Phanpy for my campaign lol
Yeah, let me get right on that with the VC's lack of online trading lol And yeah, I get you probably meant a gen 7 trade, but I'm just looking for a fun set to use in my Crystal campaign. But thanks anyway!
THANK YOU! It worked, and I found something else out, too: If the Pokémon which you turn into Celebi is already shiny, then the Celebi will automatically be shiny, too! I used the shiny Gyarados found in the Lake of Rage (I cloned it beforehand), and the Celebi came out shiny without even needing to do the second part of the video! Thanks for the guide!
Lily Kaur i used the same too to that red gyarados but it seems that my shiny celebi cant transfer to UMUS. Even at level 30 and move set Leer, Sweet Ascent, Swagger & Shadow Ball
"This Pokemon is going to be transformed into our shiny celebi" Imagine what the Pokemon must be thinking, just minding your own business, get caught and then, before you know it, you turn into a shiny mythical Pokemon with time traveling powers
Who else watched the full video even though you don’t have gold, silver, or crystal😢😢😢 Edit: bruh why am I still getting notifications for this 2 years later. Edit 2: bruh why am I still getting notifications for this 3 years later.
I'd complain about these not being "legit" but I never cared if it was done using glitches that are already in the game cause then it's technically legit
I totally agree with you, but having several boxes full of lvl 99 shiny Charizards all named Kevin is kinda suspicious. Regardless I really love glitches.
Glitches and exploits are all the same. If you use the date skip exploit in S/S I feel like this shouldn't bother you much. Although this is a step further it's still just glitches. As for cheating/hacking if you used an AR as a kid and don't care for them being used but care about hacked mons there's also something wrong there hah.
This is why I got so excited when I saw this video and why I wanted a shiny Celebi of my own, even/especially if I never use it for competitive matches or to trade. It’s special to me personally and reminds me of that game, which I love so much.
ElectroBlastLuigi There are laws and rules in video games. Hacking is explicitly against the rules. Glitching is accomplished by manipulating the natural mechanics in game. And therefore, is technically legal.
+Big Z Tell that to the Void Glitch in Diamond and Pearl Pokémon obtained through that glitch cannot pass through the Poke Bank therefore illegal. Glitches are still a form of Cheating.... may not be as bad as using a cheating device and heck, some are fun to play around with.... but to claim that it's completely okay is not right. that's like playing a game where someone can use a glitch to be invincible and mow down everyone else or cause a total stalemate if a player on the other team does it too... x.x
Big Z Pokémon obtained by manipulating the game is not considered legit. You can't obtain those Pokémon during "normal" gameplay and these Pokémon were never intended to be able to obtain. I have nothing against glitching tho. I do it too it's fun.
a Bear Yeah it kind of reminds me of the good old Action Replay days where you can use a Pokemon Modifier to find any Mon in the wild. It's fun but I personally won't use glitched Pokémon in an online battle.
it would be very important to state that this only works for the english version of the game. for other versions, you cant rename your boxes these ways becuse youre missing the special letters.
For Everyone who the glitch doesnt work... This is what i used for mine and what is the problem and you should fix it. 1 = Make sure all boxes are renamed correctly (happend to me aswell ;-;) 2 = Check the quagsire to be all right with Return as 1 move 3 = If the low level pokemon does not work then here is a trick I tried out with all level 2-3-4 pokemon but none worked because it had to have id number 16 So catch yourself a pidgey and your ready to go!
I tried this and.... Oh crap it works Also by extension, if you leave the box names as they were for the shiny( not celebi), then do the coin case glitch , the first Pokémon will become shiny, and that’s how I got my shiny eevee, Lugia, and ho oh, as well as celebi, and I’m gonna try to get a shiny mew with this shiny box method. Thanks for spreading the word on how to get a celebi and shiny Pokémon, poketips!
Did you have the game beat first before you did it? I've not beat it yet and I tried it out and idk if I'm just having bad luck with the low iv pokemon or if it is because I've not yet beat it.
I’m thinking y’all fucked up. I did it right the first time and yeah it was slow and glitchy until I saved and reset but then it was fine, but when I tried to make it shiny, Quagsire wasnt holding the Headbutt TM and all hell broke loose. I fixed that, tried again and it worked like a charm.
Dear poketips, Thank you so much for this video, the secondary code can be used to make a shiny engine out of gen 2, and I so love the fact that I can get shiny mega: ampharos, steelix, pidgeot and gengar. These are some realy great trade options for my ultra moon game.
Justin Anschuetz second return needs to be thought to quaksire and headbutt needs to be given to him like an item. Then you also need to make sure that return is in the first moveslot, this is very important!
Can anyone confirm if this still works ? Update: it worked! Was having problems at first, turns out my boxes were named incorrectly! Can’t believe this worked. I came into this expecting clickbait and I was never so glad to be wrong, good luck!
This still works 5 years later. I was looking around for what games would be useful to buy before the eShop closed on March 27th and saw this video. I bought silver and was able to move my shiny celebi all the way up to swsh. The screen after the coin glitch was different for me but as long as you save and restart the game it works. I'm going to play the game all the way to Ho-Oh and make all of those legendaries shiny. Thanks!
@@hedgeyplays just the slide Pokémon in slot 3. It took me a couple of tries to get one that worked. If your game restarts and you see a rainbow screen, it means your slide Pokémon doesn’t have the right stats.
@@MikkiLazuli lucky, I'm trying to make lugia shiny, and I keep getting glitch dimension, the quagsire is correct, the boxes are correct, but I keep getting glitch dimension.
Bananamaninthecan 017e Quagsire is holding the Headbutt TM and in the 4th slot and your 3rd mon is low level from route 29? You must be doing SOMETHING wrong somewhere.
With the eShop closing, it's only a matter of time before Bank's servers shut down too... I gotta stop procrastinating and progress further up until I can get this Shiny Celebi! *EDIT: I DID IT! YES! THANK YOU!* After a year of procrastinating, I finally did it... I'm so happy. And I didn't even need to do the Shiny glitch part as I did it on a cloned Shiny Gyarados, so its shininess carried over to the Celebi!
I got lucky and got Celebi on my first encounter in Crystal. So I felt overjoyed. Now I can have as many Celebi and trade those to my friends! Thank you!
Also for any who are having trouble, I’d say the biggest thing to keep doing over is catching a new low level mon on Route 29. The values of the Pokémon really do make a difference of whether the game will crash and reset or if it will get you a Celebi. Just be patient and everything will fall into place. Good luck!
When I was little, I had Pokemon soul silver. My one friend had gotten a used copy of heart gold that had a ton of hacked Pokemon on it. One of them was a shiny celebi that she gave to me. I have lost that soul silver game since then and have anticipated a way to get shiny celebi. I am so happy that I was able to get one that isn't hacked!
the only other problem besides the box names is to catch a different route 29 pokemon. I had the same problem and went to solve it on my own and that was it 😂😅
The Celebi glitch worked perfectly for me without a single problem! I didn't realize I had to get the normal Celebi first before turning it shiny so I also got a shiny Doduo out of it :P Only weird thing that happened to me was that I caught a lv. 28 Doduo for the Celebi sacrifice and oddly enough, when I did the step of dropping it in the Day Care and pick it up again, I didn't walk anywhere and Celebi, for some reason, grew 2 levels to lv. 30 with this step Still worked though so I'll take it ;)
Today I learned that you can't have Bellsprout in your party while doing this unless Bellsprout is specifically the Pokémon that is being altered. It seems to confuse the game and screw up the glitch. I'm guessing it has to do with the use of Belsprout's cry within the glitch. At least I know this is the case for the shiny glitch but it wouldn't be a stretch to assume it is also the case for the Celebi glitch since they use the same cry in the routine.
After looking way too deep into this method I think it is safe to say there is only one way a shiny Celebi obtained this way could differ from a shiny Celebi obtained via the VC Crystal GS Ball encounter. VC Crystal Celebi receives the "fateful encounter" flag after being sent to the pokebank. It is unclear in this video if coin case Celebi also receives the fateful encounter flag. This video doesnt show the encounter information for shiny Celebi after it has been transferred to a gen 7 game. However it is very likely that any Celebi transferred from GSC receives the fateful encounter flag anyways. Original Comment - %100 wrong This is a really cool glitch. -BUT wouldnt this result in a shiny celebi with an invalid IV build? The GS ball celebi in the 2018 VC release is set to have 5 perfect IVs and its not shiny locked. You can just soft reset the GS ball celebi until its shiny for a "legit" version...- *edit* -Poke Transporter changes the IVs of any Celebi from GSC to have 5 perfect IV's. However Transported pokemon retain metadata identifying the game it was transferred from. Meaning if you Transport directly from Gold or Silver it will technically be an illegal encounter- *edit* Origin Game meta data can be VC Silver or Gold legally AFTER depositing into bank. @quartz12321 points out a legal Celebi from VC Crystal can be traded to Gold or Silver and transfere to PokeBank from there
I've gone through about 3 dozen different low level Pokemon, I've checked and double checked my box names, slowly and carefully followed every step to checking the coin case, but it still won't work, my game crashes every time. Other people seem to have this problem, but fixed it with a new low level Pokemon, which I've tried...a lot....to no avail. Any idea on why it still won't work for me?
Now I have the problem of I got to the point where your character is invisible and the menu is flickering and slow like in the video but when I check my first pokemon it's not a celebi. When I check my boxes a couple letters are gone and some have been replaced.
@@myth3171 That's okay. Try saving your game and resetting - it will bring your character back. At this point, your Pokemon will still not be visible as Celebi - it's typing, name, nickname, moves, everything will make it seem like nothing changed, but if you take it to a battle (like wild battle), you'll be able to see the Celebi.
you neglected to mention that the low level pokemon may not always work for a number of reasons, and thats a pretty big thing to skip considering other sites reporting on how to do the coin case gitch specifically mention that this "slide pokemon" has to have high DVs as well as low friendship... and that it can take upwards of 20 slides to get one that works. otherwise, though, this video seems pretty solid and im excited to try this come sunday!
I did some digging to see if you could do more with this glitch and apparently, the guy who discovered this glitch also has a video on using it to get a mew, same exact method as to how you get the Celebi. What makes it even more interesting is you can use the shiny box codes in the video to give yourself a shiny mew. He also has a video on changing the OT and trainer ID so that Pokémon transporter allows it into bank.
I have always wanted to have a Celebi (specially a shiny one) for almost 20 years so I tried of doing glitch and I FINALLY GOT ONE. Thank you very much for the tutorial PokeTips.
This just illustrates how the company needs to get off their butts and release all the various mythical pokemons in later games. makes new events, do something like the wormholes. Just make the damn mythicals available for people who started late. Catch em all indeed.
They aren't going to do that because money. You want that precious mythical pokemon? You better buy the newest and greatest pokemon game on release day to take part in the event or else miss out forever. These events are nothing more than a marketing scheme to sell their games upon release.
Aw yeah this glitch is amazing. I love that the second half basically turns any pokemon shiny. As someone who has a full-time job and no free time for hours of soft resetting, this is such a great way to bulk up my shiny collection. I still wouldn't find it fair to trade them, though; private collection only!
Fun Fact: If you do the Celebi glitch on a Shiny Gyarados, its shininess carries over, so you don't need to do the glitch to turn it shiny as it already has killed two birds with one stone! However, you can still use the shiny glitch if you wanna get shiny versions of the other Johto Legendaries. Man, Ho-Oh and Lugia look so good...
That happened to me and I verified that I missed one in the boxes, I put a "d" instead of a " 'd " and made my game weird colors. Another thing is the coin case, you need to be careful, if you click more times you should it glitches out and doesn't work (at least didn't for me). Once it appears "Holds 9.999...." you should not click and exit out. Idk if I'm 100% correct but try.
HuzzBon Have you tried using a female level six hoppip as the low level pokemon ? And the pokemon you want to transform into celebi should also be low level. At least this worked for me
Does it matter how many Pokemon are in the boxes? I'm gonna try to match yours but I did everything right but it put me in the "glitch dimension" Edit: NOTHING I'M DOING IS FUCKING WORKING. IT'S ALWAYS RESETTING WITH THE MESSED UP COLORS. HELP
IzZy-1337 Unfortunately, no. This glitch only works in the English copies of the game. The reason this glitch exists is because of a translation coding oversight.
6 years later and this just worked for me. I was discouraged at first when I got the rainbow screen or the white screen after opening the coin case. Swapping out the third Pokemon helped. Thank you so much!
@vintifada7115 yes I was able to transfer it! I have a modded 3ds so once I got the Celebi I actually made a clone of it so I can have it in the original game and also transfer it up
Have you tried using a female level six hoppip as the low level pokemon ? And the pokemon you want to transform into celebi should also be low level. At least this worked for me
That is because there are multiple variations of the Coin Case glitch. The more popular one required PC items, which has a few people confused. I can assure you this method does not require PC items.
Yes i am wondering that myself is it maybe because the box names would be different for different pokemon? Im actually testing first by trying to make my lugia shiny
To make sure it worked, don't actually check the pokemon by looking at it in your party, enter a battle. I was dumb and kept thinking it didn't work when it did
I was watching this video while playing Pokemon Gold, got distracted with what you were saying and I look back at my 3DS to see a shiny zubat. I'm not even mad it's a zubat! I just started a new game an hour ago. Thanks for the shiny luck!
For everyone saying this is hacking, it’s not because he transferred it up and the Pokebank doesn’t allow hacked Pokémon. Yah you don’t get the same feeling as you do by soft resetting but it’s still a shiny.
Luckily I figured out it was cuz the low level pokemon was unknown and for some reason it crashes the game luckily I changed unknown to sandshrew and the glitch worked fine
People should ask this question. If abusing glitches is just as bad as modifying a game, why does AGDQ not allow modifications, but allows any sort of glitches no matter how broken they get? People should also ask, if Pokemon doesn't want us abusing glitches, why did they leave them in the game?
blaze6626 Exactly! It’s not like GF didn’t know that all these glitches exist either. They could’ve easily patched the coin case, similar to how they added code for an event to get the GS ball in Crystal, but they didn’t. They left this crazy stuff intact. As long as the Pokémon isn’t broken and doesn’t have a clearly hacked move set, what difference does it make? You have to work to get these glitches to work just as much as you have to work to get a shiny in a chain. At the end of the day, they’re both the same thing, one was just obtained in a much cooler way.
Interesting how people claim how it's legit even though it's blocked from being transferred unless it meets certain requirements. People are just kidding themselves. If you call out hacking pokemon but call glitching legit, you'd be a hypocrite.
Mike: I know what you're all excited for. Me: accidentally skips 5 seconds Mike: phanpy can *FUH-* me: *on the ground wheezing because I'm laughing so hard for no reason*
worked on my first try! my 3rd slot pokemon was a female level 2 sentret. yeah at first it wont show up in party, only its backside in battle, until you take it to the day care. awesome vid, subbed
Pokémon obtained by abusing glitches is not a "legit" Pokémon, so I don't really see the point in doing this. Would rather get it the right way. It's way more rewarding as well. But great video. Everything was explained really well! Edit: Just to clarify things I am not against glitching. I do it in some games just for fun. This glitch I just wouldn't personally do. To me the point in shinies is the rareness and value of them so I don't *personally* see the point in doing this. Ya'll can do whatever you want!
Smasher39 It's the value in the shiny. And it's a really nice feeling when after hours of "work" you finally get the shiny. Your question leads me to the next one. What's the point of obtaining a non legit shiny Pokémon using glitches when all you get is a different colour Pokémon. Well actually just a piece of data. Understand that in most cases shiny hunters don't hunt for the colour of the Pokémon but rather for the rareness and value of it. Well everyone do them.
Smasher39 Oh that sucks! But I do understand. Using glitches and such is fun sometimes. And if you really love the colour of the Celebi why not. It's just that I wouldn't personally do it.
Smasher39 Oh and yeah I also wish it was more skill based than only luck. Well in X&Y the Pokéradar needs some skills but it still comes down to luck in the end when you learn how to use it
"Phanpy can finally get Water Gun!"
Legit, am I the only person who was genuinely happy about this? I love interesting move combinations XD

*EDIT: I DID IT! YES! THANK YOU!* After a year of procrastinating, I finally did it... I'm so happy. And I didn't even need to do the Shiny glitch part as I did it on a cloned Shiny Gyarados, so its shininess carried over to the Celebi!
I got lucky and got Celebi on my first encounter in Crystal. So I felt overjoyed. Now I can have as many Celebi and trade those to my friends! Thank you!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH, I NOW HAVE THE THREE SHINIES IVE WANTED FOR LIKE A YEAR
Thank you so much poke tips! This was very helpful and it let me use a shiny celebi in my playthrough!
Soon, you'll have a shiny celebi all for your Celfabi
Also for any who are having trouble, I’d say the biggest thing to keep doing over is catching a new low level mon on Route 29. The values of the Pokémon really do make a difference of whether the game will crash and reset or if it will get you a Celebi. Just be patient and everything will fall into place. Good luck!
When I was little, I had Pokemon soul silver. My one friend had gotten a used copy of heart gold that had a ton of hacked Pokemon on it. One of them was a shiny celebi that she gave to me. I have lost that soul silver game since then and have anticipated a way to get shiny celebi. I am so happy that I was able to get one that isn't hacked!
I was watching this while soft resetting in crystal and got a shiny celebi, talk about perfect timing
Wait so I can also get my Typhlosion in Shiny if I only do the second step? If yes this would be really nice >0
Yes! The second step will make any Pokemon shiny, not just Celebi :)
My game just resets and when i start it agian it looks like im on LSD
Bob Bobsen Same
Double check your PC boxes names, when I accidentally named the boxes wrong, I had the same problem.
PokeTipsOfficial I have this problem too
I got all the names right but the colours change
the only other problem besides the box names is to catch a different route 29 pokemon. I had the same problem and went to solve it on my own and that was it 😂😅
The Celebi glitch worked perfectly for me without a single problem! I didn't realize I had to get the normal Celebi first before turning it shiny so I also got a shiny Doduo out of it :P
Only weird thing that happened to me was that I caught a lv. 28 Doduo for the Celebi sacrifice and oddly enough, when I did the step of dropping it in the Day Care and pick it up again, I didn't walk anywhere and Celebi, for some reason, grew 2 levels to lv. 30 with this step
Still worked though so I'll take it ;)
Today I learned that you can't have Bellsprout in your party while doing this unless Bellsprout is specifically the Pokémon that is being altered. It seems to confuse the game and screw up the glitch. I'm guessing it has to do with the use of Belsprout's cry within the glitch.
At least I know this is the case for the shiny glitch but it wouldn't be a stretch to assume it is also the case for the Celebi glitch since they use the same cry in the routine.
*laughs in my free shiny Celebi in Sword and Shield from a surprise trade*
8:27 this is what I call "the hat stats"
5 Perfect IVs just mean no HP Fire. Thx Gamefreak, I thought we have Hypertraining.
personally I only use Celibi in Inverse events anyway where it only needs STABS & utility moves
After looking way too deep into this method I think it is safe to say there is only one way a shiny Celebi obtained this way could differ from a shiny Celebi obtained via the VC Crystal GS Ball encounter. VC Crystal Celebi receives the "fateful encounter" flag after being sent to the pokebank. It is unclear in this video if coin case Celebi also receives the fateful encounter flag. This video doesnt show the encounter information for shiny Celebi after it has been transferred to a gen 7 game. However it is very likely that any Celebi transferred from GSC receives the fateful encounter flag anyways.
Original Comment - %100 wrong
This is a really cool glitch. -BUT wouldnt this result in a shiny celebi with an invalid IV build? The GS ball celebi in the 2018 VC release is set to have 5 perfect IVs and its not shiny locked. You can just soft reset the GS ball celebi until its shiny for a "legit" version...-
*edit* -Poke Transporter changes the IVs of any Celebi from GSC to have 5 perfect IV's. However Transported pokemon retain metadata identifying the game it was transferred from. Meaning if you Transport directly from Gold or Silver it will technically be an illegal encounter-
*edit* Origin Game meta data can be VC Silver or Gold legally AFTER depositing into bank. @quartz12321 points out a legal Celebi from VC Crystal can be traded to Gold or Silver and transfere to PokeBank from there
Can't I just pretend I traded legit Celebi from Crystal to Gold/Silver and then transport it?
Actually yeah this should work even if you obtained it legitimately from Crystal
So does this give you a fateful encounter flag?
I'm glad this video saved me from buying Crystal. I buyed Silver, probably gonna get a normal celebi or something :) Thanks!
just did this in pokemon gold vc. used shiny gyarados so i didn't have to bother with the second half. thanks king
I've gone through about 3 dozen different low level Pokemon, I've checked and double checked my box names, slowly and carefully followed every step to checking the coin case, but it still won't work, my game crashes every time. Other people seem to have this problem, but fixed it with a new low level Pokemon, which I've tried...a lot....to no avail. Any idea on why it still won't work for me?
What game are you doing it on?
Same
Same
Same man fuck this glitch I’ll just get one on ebay
I’ve used so many low level pokemon and none of them worked it just takes me to the title screen with the colors all messed up
Same. Amy solution?
Whoever "liked" my comment, I realised I had made an error in one of the box names. I had written d instead of 'd. Correcting it let me turn it shiny.
@@vyommaitreya Thanks, I'll be sure to double check my boxes
Now I have the problem of I got to the point where your character is invisible and the menu is flickering and slow like in the video but when I check my first pokemon it's not a celebi. When I check my boxes a couple letters are gone and some have been replaced.
@@myth3171 That's okay. Try saving your game and resetting - it will bring your character back. At this point, your Pokemon will still not be visible as Celebi - it's typing, name, nickname, moves, everything will make it seem like nothing changed, but if you take it to a battle (like wild battle), you'll be able to see the Celebi.
How to cheese a shiny mythical hunt:
This video gave me nostalgia, all of the stuff you could do with very basic hardware is...genius. Missigno came to mind as well.
THATS where my wonder trade shiny celebi came from...
I got it! Thanks man!
BruNo Sueji Que milagre encontrá-lo por aqui hahaha
you neglected to mention that the low level pokemon may not always work for a number of reasons, and thats a pretty big thing to skip considering other sites reporting on how to do the coin case gitch specifically mention that this "slide pokemon" has to have high DVs as well as low friendship... and that it can take upwards of 20 slides to get one that works. otherwise, though, this video seems pretty solid and im excited to try this come sunday!
Wow, a rEd OnIoN
Pink*
turquoise*
You are an *idiot*
no im a person
These are the best replies I've seen on youtube. Bravo
I did some digging to see if you could do more with this glitch and apparently, the guy who discovered this glitch also has a video on using it to get a mew, same exact method as to how you get the Celebi. What makes it even more interesting is you can use the shiny box codes in the video to give yourself a shiny mew. He also has a video on changing the OT and trainer ID so that Pokémon transporter allows it into bank.
Link please
I have always wanted to have a Celebi (specially a shiny one) for almost 20 years so I tried of doing glitch and I FINALLY GOT ONE. Thank you very much for the tutorial PokeTips.
How do you manipulate the nature it will have? Is there a spreadsheet of the EXP needed for each nature?
So will they be transferable to Pokémon Home?
Edit: yes
Perfect lol that’s what I really wanted to know
Does this work with regular gold and silver for D's.
Micah Wilson no, sorry...
Yes. Unless u mean heart gold and soul silver
It worked! Thank you so much PokeTips
my head hurts...
I think I'll just soft reset lol
but it's nice that you put all this together for the other people ^^
This just illustrates how the company needs to get off their butts and release all the various mythical pokemons in later games. makes new events, do something like the wormholes. Just make the damn mythicals available for people who started late. Catch em all indeed.
they wont be mythical anymore
why not? they were all just given out a year ago for oras and xy and they are still mythical.
They aren't going to do that because money. You want that precious mythical pokemon? You better buy the newest and greatest pokemon game on release day to take part in the event or else miss out forever. These events are nothing more than a marketing scheme to sell their games upon release.
so.. can the shiny glitch be used on any pokemon?
Tim 0901 that’s the same question I have!
Well yes you can
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky Anyone?
Yeah! That was my motive for hunting my Celebi!
Yes!! Grovyle x Celebi all the way
Aw yeah this glitch is amazing. I love that the second half basically turns any pokemon shiny. As someone who has a full-time job and no free time for hours of soft resetting, this is such a great way to bulk up my shiny collection. I still wouldn't find it fair to trade them, though; private collection only!
Fun Fact: If you do the Celebi glitch on a Shiny Gyarados, its shininess carries over, so you don't need to do the glitch to turn it shiny as it already has killed two birds with one stone!
However, you can still use the shiny glitch if you wanna get shiny versions of the other Johto Legendaries. Man, Ho-Oh and Lugia look so good...
Ok but why does it go back to the main menu when i open the coin case
@@Beanzops You're doing something wrong in the video, I'm guessing.
@@SegaMario it must be the low level Pokémon i caught
@@Beanzops Yes. PokeTips makes it clear that that part may take a few tries, but I caught a Pidgey capable of pulling off the glitch.
@@SegaMario does it have to be a different Pokémon species
My shiny gyarados became a trainer... what should i do?
I also cant deposit Pokémon so i guess i broke my game ;-;
Nevermind i just fixed it and got the celebi! Thanks a lot dude!
So do you own that trainer or what
Go Trainer! Use *Bulk Up*
my game restarted and when it started it was colored weird
That happened to me and I verified that I missed one in the boxes, I put a "d" instead of a " 'd " and made my game weird colors. Another thing is the coin case, you need to be careful, if you click more times you should it glitches out and doesn't work (at least didn't for me). Once it appears "Holds 9.999...." you should not click and exit out. Idk if I'm 100% correct but try.
Marii does the low level Pokemons matter
HuzzBon Have you tried using a female level six hoppip as the low level pokemon ? And the pokemon you want to transform into celebi should also be low level. At least this worked for me
The game thinks it's being played on the gameboy, not the gameboy color, so the colors look weirder in result of this.
Lol shiny game appeared
Does it matter how many Pokemon are in the boxes? I'm gonna try to match yours but I did everything right but it put me in the "glitch dimension"
Edit: NOTHING I'M DOING IS FUCKING WORKING. IT'S ALWAYS RESETTING WITH THE MESSED UP COLORS. HELP
I am Randy Butternubs your low level pokemon has too high ivs
Thanks man I'll give it a try
I have the same problem I don't know how to do
just keep catching pokemon, and trying it instead. it doesn't matter the level, it's just a mostly invisible value.
Awesome can't wait to get one!
Thanks so much for this video!
I had every box the same everything that you did but it turned into a blue mesa
same thing happened to me :(
@@SplashWee Were you able to fix it? It doesn't work for me :/
The A on box 3 disappears when I try to perform the glitch
Ik this it two years old but I have the same problem any luck because I can’t do the glitch because of it ;(
does it work with a german version of pokemon gold?
i don't have an apostrophe (') on my keyboard to rename the boxes
IzZy-1337 Unfortunately, no. This glitch only works in the English copies of the game. The reason this glitch exists is because of a translation coding oversight.
okay thank you
that are u telling me NOW D;
the glitch isn't working also for the french version we dont have the : [ '] and the : [é]
6 years later and this just worked for me. I was discouraged at first when I got the rainbow screen or the white screen after opening the coin case. Swapping out the third Pokemon helped. Thank you so much!
Nice! Were you able to transfer Celebi to HOME and a switch game?
@vintifada7115 yes I was able to transfer it! I have a modded 3ds so once I got the Celebi I actually made a clone of it so I can have it in the original game and also transfer it up
You are the best! Celebi is my favorite Pokémon so you are a lifesaver!!
I'm glad this helped :)
Rip this method thanks to Nintendo 3DS eShop now being closed
Unless you’re willing to hack your 3DS. I have one and I’ll be doing this soon
I have everything correct, the box names, the pokemon, but when i use the coin case the game crashes and nothing happens
Robbe van der Hoek catch another low lvl pokemon, that will work! The dvs needs to be really low, the one you have is to high
Have you tried using a female level six hoppip as the low level pokemon ? And the pokemon you want to transform into celebi should also be low level. At least this worked for me
I did it with a lvl 3 hoothoot and a lvl 32 onix, it worked
Other people are mentioning this glitch needing particular items in the pc and they all say different things. My pc is empty lol
That is because there are multiple variations of the Coin Case glitch. The more popular one required PC items, which has a few people confused. I can assure you this method does not require PC items.
poketips can we turn any pokemon shiny and my game keeps on reseting and the color changes
Yes i am wondering that myself is it maybe because the box names would be different for different pokemon? Im actually testing first by trying to make my lugia shiny
im trying it with ho oh but the game resets and the color pallet changes
The reason the color pallet changes is because of your low level pokemon, you need a different one that has different stats to work
thanks mate, this worked out like a charm^^
HOLY CRAP, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GUIDE! I JUST GOT SHINY CELEBI IN 11 ENCOUNTERS! I'M LITERALLY SHAKING
lmao I got a shiny celebi from the ORIGINAL event years ago after days of soft resetting and now ppl getting it for nothing
Is there a glitch where I can have a complete dex in Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal?
realDonaldTrump Hire a Mexican to complete it for you.
I can't.
Mine just resets every time, I've tried so many different low leveled pokemon
Double check the names of your boxes so that they match mine 100%. That usually causes the resetting problem.
PokeTipsOfficial yea that was my problem, but i changed the box name and it worked
To make sure it worked, don't actually check the pokemon by looking at it in your party, enter a battle. I was dumb and kept thinking it didn't work when it did
I was watching this video while playing Pokemon Gold, got distracted with what you were saying and I look back at my 3DS to see a shiny zubat. I'm not even mad it's a zubat! I just started a new game an hour ago. Thanks for the shiny luck!
For everyone saying this is hacking, it’s not because he transferred it up and the Pokebank doesn’t allow hacked Pokémon. Yah you don’t get the same feeling as you do by soft resetting but it’s still a shiny.
That's no argument; a guy managed to transfer up a shiny level 1 Marshadow via Poké Bank.
Can you do this many times?
AbstractTUC yes but you might have to restart your game I don't remember
Yes you can
Hell yeah u can
For some reason when I tried to do this my game crashed can someone plz help me?
Luckily I figured out it was cuz the low level pokemon was unknown and for some reason it crashes the game luckily I changed unknown to sandshrew and the glitch worked fine
I live for crazy shit like this! Great video!
Relic song in the background 👌
People should ask this question. If abusing glitches is just as bad as modifying a game, why does AGDQ not allow modifications, but allows any sort of glitches no matter how broken they get?
People should also ask, if Pokemon doesn't want us abusing glitches, why did they leave them in the game?
blaze6626 Exactly! It’s not like GF didn’t know that all these glitches exist either. They could’ve easily patched the coin case, similar to how they added code for an event to get the GS ball in Crystal, but they didn’t. They left this crazy stuff intact. As long as the Pokémon isn’t broken and doesn’t have a clearly hacked move set, what difference does it make? You have to work to get these glitches to work just as much as you have to work to get a shiny in a chain. At the end of the day, they’re both the same thing, one was just obtained in a much cooler way.
+Cory McNevin Well then, I guess you should be able to answer it then. Right?
Interesting how people claim how it's legit even though it's blocked from being transferred unless it meets certain requirements. People are just kidding themselves. If you call out hacking pokemon but call glitching legit, you'd be a hypocrite.
glitching takes effort, hacking just takes the right equipment/software and no effort required
By virtual console does he mean the 3ds?
Yes
Kosta Athanasopoulos is there any other way to get the game without buying it on the eshop
You can also buy it in any store selling games. But it will only be a code rather than a cartridge
Astra Nox oh ok, how much is it?
Eddie Licea About 10 dollars
That is too complicated and nerve wracking for me. I'll just stick with soft resetting when I encounter Celebi for a shiny
Mike: I know what you're all excited for.
Me: accidentally skips 5 seconds
Mike: phanpy can *FUH-*
me: *on the ground wheezing because I'm laughing so hard for no reason*
worked on my first try!
my 3rd slot pokemon was a female level 2 sentret. yeah at first it wont show up in party, only its backside in battle, until you take it to the day care. awesome vid, subbed
Pokémon obtained by abusing glitches is not a "legit" Pokémon, so I don't really see the point in doing this. Would rather get it the right way. It's way more rewarding as well. But great video. Everything was explained really well!
Edit: Just to clarify things I am not against glitching. I do it in some games just for fun. This glitch I just wouldn't personally do. To me the point in shinies is the rareness and value of them so I don't *personally* see the point in doing this. Ya'll can do whatever you want!
Smasher39
It's the value in the shiny. And it's a really nice feeling when after hours of "work" you finally get the shiny.
Your question leads me to the next one. What's the point of obtaining a non legit shiny Pokémon using glitches when all you get is a different colour Pokémon. Well actually just a piece of data.
Understand that in most cases shiny hunters don't hunt for the colour of the Pokémon but rather for the rareness and value of it. Well everyone do them.
Smasher39
Oh that sucks! But I do understand. Using glitches and such is fun sometimes. And if you really love the colour of the Celebi why not. It's just that I wouldn't personally do it.
Smasher39
Oh and yeah I also wish it was more skill based than only luck. Well in X&Y the Pokéradar needs some skills but it still comes down to luck in the end when you learn how to use it
I agree my first shiny was a exeggcute i was so happy but it was a great video
a Bear On the bright side you can get your dex finished including Mew.
INFINITE SHINY CELEBIS?!?!?!? GTS BAIT MUCH?!?!?!
Celebi don't go on GTS in SM/USUM.
realDonaldTrump oh, that’s unfortunate
I played through crystal and shiny hunted a celebi cuz I’m a gud boi
Same, and got it the other day. :)
@@Chloethepikachu100 How many attempts?
@@LaggingDuck- Not sure, I took a huge break in the middle. If I had to guess, maybe somewhere around the 2000 or 3000 range, more or less?

Thank you so much for this :D
