A hilarious newPokemon Scarlet and Violetglitch shows one player’s Ditto apparently deciding it’s had enough of all the battles and running cheerfully off a nearby cliff. Despite some odd and occasionally frustrating glitches, Game Freak’s latest Pokemon title has become a hit with many fans and already has players speculating about what could be included in potentialPokemon Scarlet and VioletDLC.
Taking the Pokemon games’ trademark blend of exploration and battling and transporting it to a truly open world for the first time in franchise history,Pokemon Scarlet and Violethave proven to be somewhat controversial releases for the storied series. While the dueling releases have been clear commercial successes, selling over 10 million copies in three days and becoming thebiggest launch in Nintendo history, the poor performance and technical glitches present throughoutPokemon Scarlet and Violethave frustrated many players. Despite these technical glitches, however, the pair of titles have been widely praised for breathing new life into the franchise with the move to an open world.

In a new post on the r/PokemonScarletViolet subreddit, user iiunvon shared a hilariously disturbing video of a glitch they discovered inPokemon Scarlet and Violet. In a post titled “My Ditto done with making more eggs,” a video shows a Ditto happily hopping along as musical notes drift across the screen, before suddenly and gleefully jumping straight off the side of a cliff. The unfortunate Ditto isn’t the only character to fall prey to the game’s seemingly slippery cliffs either, with another player recently sharing a clip of Pokemon Trainer Pennyfalling off a cliff inPokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Redditors responding to the strange glitch seemed to find the clip hilarious, with several users chiming in with their own explanation for the Ditto’s unusual behavior. Echoing the sentiment shared by iiunvon in the title of the post, several comments joked that the Ditto must have been tired of being constantly used for breeding inPokemon Scarlet and Violetand was just seeking a way out of servitude. Offering a more practical explanation for the unusual behavior, one comment suggested that the Ditto may have been chasing after a ball that fell off the precariously placed cliff.
Luckily for iiunvon, unlike some of the other glitches discovered inPokemon Scarlet and Violet,this unusual Ditto behavior is amusing rather than annoying or game-breaking. Or maybe the cuddly, amorphous pocket monster was just upset that it didn’t make it on thelist of the 10 most popular Pokemonfor this year.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violetare available on Nintendo Switch.
