Pokémon ScarletandVioletare among 2022’sglitchier video game releasesdue to issues with constant pop-in, camera clipping, multiplayer, Koraidon getting stuck in a handstand, and more. Now, players have found a glitch that allows the player character to walk around much faster than intended.If you’re not riding or dashing on the back of Koraidon, walking around inPokémon ScarletandVioletis pretty slow.Reddit user hamsterhead64discovered a strange glitch that will speed up the player’s exploration, though.

Apparently in the new pokemon, if you plug in two controllers at once you may run twice as fast. Like you hold both joysticks and it just… adds the speedthese devs had NO TIME lmaopic.twitter.com/q8ydxd9iub
Independently verified byGameXplainand the team at Digital Trends, this glitch is an easy way to get a notable speed boost in the open-world Pokémon games, at least until Game Freak patches it out. This method does not work while riding Koraidon or Miraidon.
Pokemon’s transition to a more open-world format hasn’t been the smoothest one.Pokémon Legends: Arceusalso had its own traversal glitch. In that game, players could climb up steep slopes by quickly aiming and canceling a Pokéball throw. The limits of the Nintendo Switch and Game Freak’s game engine are clearly starting to show in the latest Pokémon games, but this is likely something that will be fixed eventually in a post-launch patch.
