The lizard’s glide gets an upgrade
The vast, open world of Paldea is open for exploring. And if fast travel is too slow for you, then this latestPokemon ScarletandVioletglitch may be more your speed.
Players have been utilizing a trick that essentially turns your legendary, either Koraidon or Miraidon, into a fighter jet. This speed glitch started gaining popularity recently thanks to Twitter user@yuudainano, though theynotethat others discovered it before their post gained traction.
Essentially, the idea is to dash and leap off a high point inPokemon Scarlet/Violet. (I recommend the highest peak in Paldea, up in the snowy mountains.) Deploy the glider, then cut it and turn, then redeploy and whip Miraidon or Koraidon back around in the process.
It’s a bit tricky to get a handle on, and it takes a few repetitions to get going. I’ve only managed to get it working a couple times. But eventually, as the camera starts to pull back due to your increasing speed, you’ll feel it. As players have shown, you can really get flying around Paldea using thisPokemonglitch.
What’s the use of this glitch? Well, for one, it makes for some cool movement and flyover options. You can really get a sense of connectedPokemon ScarletandVioletis as you blast through all the different areas, one after another. Players have also used it toget onto the barren east sideof the map, where they theorize some potential DLC may take place.

Really, though, it’s just fun to see Koraidon and Miraidon zip around like they’re inAce Combat. I’m hopeful this one stays in, because the practical usage is pretty low—fast-travel is way easier than trying to take Air Koraidon around over and over—but the possible fun to be had is pretty high.
Pokemon ScarletandVioletonly came out last month for the Nintendo Switch. But while Game Freak and Nintendo areworking on polishing upthe latest mainlinePokemongame, it seems there may still be little secrets left to find in this world.
