Welcome to the official Austin John Plays CZcams channel! On this channel you will find a variety of content like News, Tips & Tricks for Pokemon Violet & Scarlet, Legends Arceus, Tears of the Kingdom, The Legend of Zelda, and more! - Hry
This was 18 hours of my life to achieve something I've wanted to do for a LONG TIME. I was intimidated by the information online about the entire process. I hope this video will help and encourage you to get this pokemon that can no longer be obtained.
Hi Austin
Hi can someone give me one they get because I'm a broke oshawott
What are you gonna do for your 1000th video dude? CZcams says you have 999 videos right now...
Hi Austin I wouldn't mind buying like 3 shiny mews from you if you ever decide to sell
Ik it's funny to buy them but as a person from old Gen pokemon who use to do the breeding and egg method for Shinies especially a shiny charmander I kinda don't have the time like I use to anymore even do this process
does it work with pokemon yellow
Can't believe I watched this entire video without a single shred of willingness to actually do it but grade A content as usual!!!
Same lol seems a little too complicated for one hunt
SAME! xD
Same! I think I will just transfer my shiny mew from pokemon go.
I was just thinking the same thing lol.
Same lmao
I DO NOT recommend trying to dupe the Mew with the reset method. I and many others lost save data immediately doing this. Just do the Ditto + fly glitch to get additional Mews safely. It doesn't take long.
My second time through after this loss took about 7 hours. I transferred 4 Mews, 3 of which were shiny, and gave 2 to my kids. That was worth it.
That said, this is easily one of the coolest, most thorough, and most fun video I've ever used on YT. Austin John is a legend!
Wish I saw this sooner 😢
@Mxson Noooo. Idk what it is exactly, but apparently the virtual console makes doing this even more volatile than it was on the GB.
For what it's worth, the box dupe glitch works fine on Gold/Silver/Crystal though. I used it many times without fail to help build my living dex for Johto.
Hey unfortunately i have fallen in this as well, but now my save corrupts each time i use 8F, i am certain that i used the same items and mons since i restored my save using Chekpoint, but yeah weird stuff
I know because the reset timing is hard so it isn’t recommended it is similar to getting the 3 starters glitch which i have failed multiple of times
Short info to obtaining 8F, you dont need to tap A the hole time, you can just scroll down until you find the nugget or 8F (while item underflow is active) and also just scroll up again until you are back in your bag while a item is selected.
Something I noticed by doing this.
Yes, for me too. Kinda got scared that I reached it without clicking any A buttons but it worked out
Same thing happened to me I reset thinking I messed up the first time
Problem: What if the Nugget is apart of a stack of nuggets? Is it still ok to use that one? I'm not seeing 8f or the just one Nugget. Also getting a different glitch screen then his.
I panicked when that happened to me the first few times, but it all worked out in the end! I did get curious about what was at the bottom of the glitched bag though, so I checked and it just had the text "too bad!". I then was unable to leave the bag or move up or anything, so I reset the game before touching anything else. Just thought it was neat.
What about tapping b when you scroll up? Is that necessary?
I did this way back in 2017 when I was living in my car. It was the only thing that brought me joy. Glad to see people are still committed to this ancient art.
If you don’t mind me asking, why were you living in your car back then?
@@excaliburn3d Because around Seattle, $12 an hour plus bad credit means you can't get an apartment.
I hope it's old history for you and you are living a better life, my man! It sounds that's the way it is!
@@BenjaminHodges bruh I make 27 an hr and can't afford an apartment in Seattle with a roommate I completely feel your pain pokemon brings joy in all situations.
@@JamesSmith-tk2pb where you work? I’m from Puyallup, glad to see some fellow Washingtonians in this comment section!
I remember doing this in 2017, then there wasn’t very many clear guides. This tutorial is very clear and a lot easier to understand.
I remember doing this in 2004
I remember doing this in 1984 on a pac man cabinet
I'm a dumb bean. I did this in Yellow in 2022. Tldr: Yellow has a very different process for doing this than RBG.
I remember not doing this up until now
There were videos in 2017 though,
For anyone wondering, this guide is specific for the ENG version of the game. For example, 8F in the GER version is named 7S and you need different items to execute. So anyone who wants to use this (really great) guide, get the english Version
I have a Spanish version of Pokemon Red. Do you know what items do you need to execute it in different versions of the game?
And french version ?
@@dariosanchez2557
In other European versions
In other European versions, the 8F item is named 7EME ETAGE (French) / S7 (German) / 7°P (Italian) / P7 (Spanish). It still executes code the same way, but the setup will be different due to differences in the memory layout, with the third item at $D327 rather than $D322.
For the above three setups, the common fix is to replace the Onix with a Graveler (or to replace the Tangela with a Fearow to run code starting from item 1).
Ah, thanks for that tip! I just tried to do this trick on a German copy, but in German games the item "dire hit" does not exist. There is only X-accuracy. So I was wondering, if I could find any hints here in the comments and you gave it to me. :-)
I will look for a guide for the German copies and paste it here, if I find it.
@@wnyx would be nice thanks i am struggeling lol
After around 16 hours I finally have the shiny Mew in my pokemon home. Thanks for making this tutorial Austin, it's really clear to follow and just amazing
I just now messed up and had to start over. Lol
Not lol that’s just sad… i had to restarted cause i battle the gym trainer in celuruen city but i did it
Some additional info that became relevant during my attempt at this: the version of missingno that evolves into kangashkhan is specifically 'M, which CANNOT APPEAR IF YOU CHOOSE A DEFAULT NAME. if you don't name your own character, you need to catch one at the safari zone. Also, if you did input a custom name, not every missingno sprite that appears is 'M. There's at least two other encounters that don't evolve when caught.
This is exactly what I was looking for thank you.
can u specify specifically how to get it in safari zone. I chose the name red unfortunately
@@megatronron5494I also chose Red because I thought it would look nice on the other shiny pokemon I import with this XD but yeah kanga has the highest chance of appearing in the zone directly to the right of the starting zone. just take the first exit on the right and that's the screen. I believe it's a 4% chance but it doesn't have too bad of a catchrate.
@@megatronron5494 If you enter the section of Safari Zone where it spawns and fly out of it to Cinnibar, then you’re free to surf the coast and encounter every mon in that area, including Kangaskhan, without worrying about SZ mechanics.
@@Neptunequeen42 ok thanks i thought i had to use the glitched kanghaskhan but i tried it with a normal one and it worked
Bonus info for the trainer fly glitch: if you growl at the slowpoke 6 times, the Mew will be lvl 1. If it then gains less then (I think it was) 64/63or less, it'll lvl up to 100.
All Pokemon in the medium fast EXP group (Nidoking, Mew, Poliwhirl, Gengar, and the starters, maybe some more I'm missing) all have that glitch
Also the old man glitch encounters are based on your name or if you used a default name. There are online calcs that show you what you're old man encounters are. You probably don't want a trainer, so that's why I'd recommend looking into it
Edit 8 months later:
I am actually now going to be doing this for shiny Mew and the legendary birds. Wish me luck!
Edit: if you are playing Blue and doing the trainer fly glitch for Arbok and dont have Parasect yet, if you dont get a Pokemon to have 45 Special, but instead it goes over and ends up with 46, Parasect has a Special stat index nunber of 46, so its another route
Edit: forgot to update this with the fact that not only i finished this successfully, but also got a shiny Mewtwo and 1 of each of the legendary birds. And only had 2 badges because of other RB glitches. Thanks again Austin, this was super useful and helpful, and doing item underflow was a childhood dream come true because i Watched a lot of MissingnoXpert as a kid
expanding on that if you growl twice, it becomes level 5 which is the minimum for transfer.
@@vaporeondark1821 neat
Also if you can get the Pokemon you battle to +6 ATK, (Ditto transformed into a Swords dance Mon with 21 special easiest method), the Mew when caught will transform into a Ditto, because the only wild Pokemon with transform should be Ditto, and the game makes it a Ditto you caught
I’m pretty sure their some glitches to be found in the safari zone.
Doesn’t the system change for that area? Got to be something to exploit…
@@johnking7054 glitch city, and the walk through walls glitches.
if this matters to some of you at all, you can also manipulate the Nature of your mew (when its transfered over) if you let it gain some experience. If the last 2 numbers of your current experience are 13, 38, 63, or 88 youll get a jolly nature. if your current experience is or ends with 10, 35, 60, or 85 then its timid. there are other combinations to get the other natures but i cant write all of that down, figured these would be most useful.
A couple of notes (I am also on the 3DS version and not sure if it works in other versions):
* You don't need to spam/mash X with the trainer at 5:39. The game buffers inputs (for example you don't need to wait for your character to finish walking before inputting a new direction), just tap downwards, and hold X down. No timing required really.
* At 6:50, if you beat this trainer's first pokemon, and then intentionally lose to the last pokemon with the Special stat that summons Mew, you can still get Mew, without having marked that trainer as "defeated," allowing you to do the glitch again and get MORE Mews, skipping the box corruption glitch at 38:47 that might trash your save file. Although now you have to get another X-Accuracy and have multiple uses of 8F if you want all of them to be legit shinies. Whichever seems less risky to you I guess
You are a star for that X button tip. Thank you so much!
Do you need to do the duplication glitch? Or it that if you just want more than one shiny? I got all the way to the end and used 8F twice (once and then tossed x accuracy, used again) and then when I went to check on the mew in the box, There was nothing there anymore. Reset my game but then my data got destroyed.
The trainer at 6:50 spawns me a Nidoqueen not a Mew I don't know what I'm doing wrong someone please help
Im so pissed lol, i read your comment and was like eh the box glitch probably wont corrupt my save... it did. Now i have to restart... I'll be taking your advice from now on.
Tysm, I would've lost another 15+ hours of my time if not for your comment. That last tip is a lifesaver and it worked like a charm in the end. God bless you, this comment deserves to be pinned 🙏
Thanks so much for this tutorial. I just spent about 10~ish hours doing everything exactly as outlined and finally have my shiny GB origin mark Mew. I'm gonna transfer it up to SV and use it in the Mewtwo raid so it can get the Mightiest Mark. 🎉
thats why im here lmao
Same, hoping to gather the motivation to go through this before the end of the event!
@@Sonjya5 DO IT BRO! you got 10 days
I've been wanting a shiny mew for a few years now. I recently got a 3ds and all the Pokémon games but didn't really understand the guides online. Your tutorial was super easy to follow along and I was able to do it with no save file corruptions, just a lot of anxiety. Thank you!!
I don't even want shiny mew. Just regular. If I play red or any old ds game that I can get a regular mew, can I just trade it? Will it be legit?
@@02blunt85 you still have to do everything up until the 36min mark for it to be trnasferrable
@@ArtisChronicles Floaroma town, after you get the Rock Badge and are heading towards the Grass gym
@AustinJohnPlays do u have to play all on one go or can u save and turn it off and then come back to hit ltr ( for example in the begining after u catch mew but before encountering missingno) and thanks so much this video was absolutely awesome!!!
By
45 minute video, and 18 hours for you. Props to you AJ.
Wait I just watched a 45 minute video?! I know I had it at double speed, but it really didn't feel like 20 minutes...
just you wait until you have to start all over because you borked your 8F glitch :/ those 18h turn into a lot more
Austin: Thank you. This is incredible. I wasn't sure I was going to try again at first after my file was destroyed when trying to duplicate a Mew. I restarted and was able to get the Mew as a shiny up into Pokemon HOME and Sword. It's a beautiful thing! I do want to give a quick PSA: the duplication glitch is extremely finicky and could corrupt the save (in my opinion it's the most dangerous part of this tutorial). That being said, if people want to get more Mew in their game, just do the "trainer-fly-glitch Ditto variant" to spawn a Mew like the first 2 you cover in this tutorial. After putting so much time into getting this to work, the pain of losing the file is devastating. Thanks again Austin for bringing the Pokemon community greatness!
Same thing just happened to me. 12 hours gone. Its midnight where im at, trying again tomorrow XD
ughhh, I wish I had read this before trying to dupe Mew.... just lost 16 hours of work... welp, time to start again(T_T)
in case someone reads this and is still interested: since you are already abusing ACE when doing this for the first time I would recommend using the "Catch'em all-Glitch". It's another ACE that is easy to do and lets you battle (and therefore catch) EVERY pokemon in the first gen. The itemlist is: 8F (in my case S7 since I'm german), Map (Item doesn't matter, I just used the Map), Lemonade (the number of Lemonades determines the Pokemon you encounter based on the Index-Number (1 Lemonade = Rhydon)), TM34 x94, TM08 x201. As I said I'm german so I can't tell for sure if this is the correct Itemlist for the english versions. You better look it up on the Internet to make sure :) As I said this lets you infinitely encounter EVERY Pokemon in the game. Just use 8F with the correct party and the correct Itemlist and exit the Menu and the encounter will start
Edit: Oh yeah in the german version we have to use Graveler instead of Onix to make it work. Again, I'd highly recommend looking up an english guide for this, I just wanted to tell you that it's possible :)
Gonna third this and also say the exact same thing happened to me. Be careful everyone.
bruh I wish I saw this comment too, I just lost 9 hrs... attempt number 2 here we gooooooooooooo lmaooooooooooo
I know this video is nearly a year old, but you have no idea how much it means to me. I corrupted my Pokémon Blue save back when you posted this after the nearly 14 hours of prep from making one small mistake regarding the amount of a specific item being held and lost all interest in trying again. That is, up until recently. I said "what the heck" and decided to give it another go. After about a collected 18 long hours and dubious double-/triple-/quadruple-checking, I finally got the blue cat. :) Thank you for this tutorial, it was immensely helpful!
Help me get one lol
Saving people some arithmetic. This stuff is plenty confusing as is with the glitched characters in your inventory,
If you've been following allong with Austin up until 23:35, here is how many of each item you need to toss to get the requisite amount.
1. 8F (NA)
2. ANY ITEM 129-40=89
3. Dire Hit 129-71=58
4. Iron 129-37=92
5. X Accuracy 129-10=119
6. Water Stone 129-67=62
7. Burn Heal 129-79=50
8. Poke Ball 129-86=43
9. Antidote 129-86=43
10. Protein 129-67=62
11. PP Up 129- 69 = 60
12. Ice Heal 129-79=50
13. Lemonade (NA, But make sure you buy 5 from the vending machine for 5+128=133 Total.)
14. Great Ball 129-79=50
15 Fresh Water 129-95=34
16. TM01 (NA, any number is fine)
Ooh interesting, I've done the Nugget Bridge Mew in both Red and Yellow on 3ds vc, didn't know it was possible to get a legal one, let alone a shiny!
Strictly speaking, if it is shiny is not legal because there is no legit way to obtain a Shiny Mew in gen 1 because the Mew that was distributed through evens has a fixed set of DVs that make it impossible to be shiny. But it can be moved to Pokemon Home because GF only checks the OT, not the DVs.
This is such a fantastic guide! I am attempting this in an already completed copy, so I had mistakenly already fought the Youngster at 6:53 . If anyone else has this problem, here is what I did (found this in a random forum post):
I started the glitch with the guy next to where I caught the Abra, similar to what AustinJohn did (which causes the menu glitch). Then I went and found a random trainer (any trainer works, from my understanding). After you have fought the second trainer (any trainer you can) and now have access to your start menu, fly to Vermillion City, walk to the southeast to Diglett's Cave and walk around the start of the cave until you find a LEVEL 16 DIGLETT. Beat that diglett and fly back to the first trainer (the trainer whose attention you got, but flew / teleported away from). Once you near that trainer's location, your start menu will pop up. Press B to exit the start menu and you will be fighting a LEVEL 7 MEW.
Good luck!
Austin John you are a legend! I never thought I’d actually have one, but after 16 hrs of nervously grinding, I have my shiny MEW! Thank you so much brother, keep up the awesome content!
@Austin John Plays the pokemon you encounter at 13:00 is actually based on the name you choose for your save. There is a page out there on a wiki that has all the pokemon you can get based on the names you choose.
With Red as the name... I encounter lvl 180 Mewtwo
This was absolutely wild and I can’t imagine how anyone figured this out!!
Right?! Who was the first person to glitch into this weird mode and explore all of it? It’s so specific
It's not like someone just messed around randomly till they found the right combination of actions. I mean, they probably did for bits of it, but the core of it is basically like writing code (programming). It's called arbitrary code execution, look it up.
They figured out the numbers that were needed and then just did the math of what items they needed.
Maybe dataminers
they probably found each different glitch and then just put them together in a sequence to make this possible
Thank you Austin John! I am one of the two people who did this thanks to your guide. Excellent work as always but especially for such a complicated string of events and scary moments!
Thank you for the thorough guide! I managed to follow everything all fine.
At the end with the item scrolling for 8f I do wanna mention you can just scroll, no a or b pressing, just scrolling down or up a bunch
1998: Mew is underneath the truck in vermillion city!
2023: you are not ready to face the incomprehensible horrors that await you.
all jokes aside, great tutorial!!
This was so beautifully done. Incredibly clear and so well explained. Absolutely perfect.
As a former 151 glitch speedrunner, it's a treat getting to see people learn how to do the item and PC underflow for Red/Blue. It's a lot of fun seeing people break open a game like this!
Can you show me how to do it in 2024? Lol
I did this in Yellow back in the late 90s, didn't know half of this. The carts battery died so I have a fresh save, may as well try again but this time try to send it up.
Def gonna need to figure out how to get it to Violet though as I never had Poke Bank or Home.
dude you're literally the most passionate pokemon youtuber I've ever seen, thanks to you I finally got to finish my yellow living dex and got to transfer it to home (plus a shiny mew). seriously thank you so much keep it up!!
Shoutout to the 8F squad
Hi reversal
Yessirrrr

What’s good dad
Go back to hunting feebas
This is absolutely incredible. Both that this exists and that you took the time to explain how to do it. 10/10
You are the best Austin! Followed this whole walk-through step by step and didn't run into a single issue. Thanks so much for putting this all together at your own peril lolol
how the f did someone discover this
I might never do this, but it sure as HELL entertained me watching the process. Very happy for you!
I watched this from start to finish with no intention of ever trying it myself but I was nervous for you and pleased you nailed it.
Thank you Austin!! After about 20 hours of work I got the blue cat! Thank you so much for always making the best Pokémon content!
Congrats on your exploited Pokémon!
I just got mine too guy! Austin it the best
and sense your exploiting already you might as well sys bot
@@Liqhtninq it's more of a glitch.
Congrats, way more fun and impressive to get than some plain old mystery gift event. The lazy haters in the comments can suck it. 😂
Thanks for making this video. Over a year ago I had already done the prep to get 8F, but the guild i was following changed the OT number 1 value at a time. I followed yours, everything went great and smooth... until I tried the duplicate >< save file gone. Nothing transfered. Re did everything today got 1 mew safely transferred to home :) i did have a mini worry moment going back through the second time when you called PP up - HP up and said a hp of 133 instead of 233. Can't believe the lvl of details you did and having to do it over again in just a day.
23:30 “with the exception for lemonade. Which is dancing flower 3” 😂
This process is actually ridiculous. Props to you for not only learning it, but explains it too.
Honestly hats off to you, (especially with the corrupted save making you go through it twice) I know I wouldn’t have the patience for this thanks so much for showing it all though. Really shows how dedicated this community is because no way would many modern players even think to manipulate 18hrs with of steps 😂. I hope you’re Mew gets to shine in S/V
Such a clear and concise guide, thank you so much! I utilized the method to also make my Mewtwo and legendary birbs shiny as well (all with my trainer id and origin mark). Great addition to the shiny dex, ready for the dlc! 😀
I DID IT! Thank you dude. Corrupted my first attempt trying to duplicate, got in done the second time around and now have my shiny blue boy sitting in Scarlet ready to get his mark. Thank you for the quality and effort you put into your videos, I got this done because of you. 🧡
Don't send him money bro wtf save your money don't give it away to CZcamsrs who definitely don't need it
Anyone can literally sit there and tell you tips in the comfort of their chair it's not like he did anything at all but speak
Did you duplicate Mew the second time?
@@jasonhulett Nah, I was too scared at the time. After I moved it across, I tried duplicating the second one and corrupted my save again lol I’m doing exactly what Austin did but it just doesn’t work for me :(
@@TheXenoRex My game corrupted on my 1st attempt while I was searching for 8F while item underflow was active, I'm about to activate it again on my second attempt. I wanted to have a shiny Mew on my Ultra Moon file and send the other one to Home, but I think I'll just play it safe for now.
Another cool thing about the missigno area. The tiles do not have location data and take location from the last grass patch you entered. if you go to the safari zone and encounter a pokemon the strip missigno is on will have safari zone pokemon. Great for hard to catch pokemon like khangaskhan, chansey and tauros and they cant run away.
Now do this same breakdown for the Emerald Mew! Hunt it and transfer it up! Great guide Austin. Really appreciate the deep drive and the great breakdown.
Hi Austin John, you probably won't see this because this video is a month old, but your video inspired me to buy Red right before the eShop closed down, and now I'm looking at two shiny Mew in my Pokémon Sword.
I know that "I couldn't have done it without you" is an overused phrase that has lost all meaning in this day and age, but in this case it couldn't be more true. Watching your clear instructions and most importantly, watching you do the steps yourself made this a breeze. Shout out to the fine folks at Reddit but I'm more of a visual learner and this helped tremendously. Thank you for dedicating 18 hours of your life to this and you can rest easy knowing at least one person followed through on this.
Very cool glitch, fun experience and nostalgic as hell. Nice switch up from the boring old regular shiny hunts for me. Wouldn’t have even know of this without the vid. Cheers, appreciate the content 🤙🏼💜
This is beautiful. Looking forward to giving this a shot sometime.
Especially that 41:00 on screen blurb.
I now have a Shiny Alolan Exeggutor from the game boy 😂
@@AustinJohnPlays I'm using the Spanish version of the game and I cant get the Old man glitch to work. Any advice?
@@xPertShooting every version has unique glitches, that one may not work in the spanish version. Many glitches were never available or achieved the same way in europe except for the english versions.
@@D3sdinova i had to download the us version and do it in that one. Dont know why do ir like this, having a modded 3ds allow me to use pkhex and other tools, but feel great to do it myself and feel I earned it
@@xPertShooting i know people will complain and tell you otherwise, but yeah even the pokemon company and nintendo verify you have a legit mew.
Watching this live was fun but rough. Glad it worked out!
I followed every step in your video and successfully got my Mew over to Home. Great guide!
Hi! I'm on my post rest surgery and I was one of the two people who did your full tutorial. Thank you so much for making this content so specific and so easy, it helped me with duplicating objects with PKSM (on my New 2ds). I now have about 30 Mews that I am giving away to all my friends. Thank you so much!!!
I followed every step and its very easy to follow! Thank you Austin for the Shiny Mew!
I had a bit of issue with the item underflow (for me it didn't work quite the same) but I managed to get it to work and have the 2 Mews. Thanks for this comprehensive guide, it was easy to follow through.
Started on this with a fresh save file on the day this video came out, and 9 days later I've got a blue mew in Home. Thanks for this easy-to-follow guide!
I started a playthrough of Pokémon Red the day before you posted this video. The original goal was to collect an “all origin mark” living Dex out of my childhood games. Seeing your video made that playthrough even more enjoyable and today, I got my shiny Mew into PokeBank. Thanks so much for the Grade A content you put out!
PS I think the most dangerous
part of this entire vid is the Pokémon duplication glitch at the end. My heart dropped when you rebooted to duplicate Mew. That window of success is so small in Gen 1!
The video that brought us the gift of Austin's 2nd twitch emoji. Thanks for all the hard work my dude!
Thank you so much for making this, you're guide is simple to understand and straight forward!! Amazing job, this is why you're my favorite poke/nintendo tuber
Just finished this, thank you so much for your guide!
I messed around with coin case ACE in Gen 2 a lot, but didn't even know it was possible in Gen 1
PRO TIP: To avoid losing all progress after possible save file corruption while duplicating, mod your 3ds and back up your save file, so that way if it corrupts, you can just easily restore it. I would have lost hours if it wasn't for that. Great tutorial btw, I officially have a shiny mew now :)
Does it make it less legitimate if you mod your 3DS and use back ups? Serious question
@@pokeslam6675 imo no

This tutorial is unreal, the fact that it actually works and the painstaking process to do it is like back in the day back in the day at school with your homies talking about Easter eggs, glitches, and "my dad works at Nintendo and he told me how to get a shiny mew" lol
So cool watching the entire process in one video! I caught the glitch Mew in VC Yellow a few years ago, but I from the beginning accepted that mine would be trapped in the game since I was not going through the effort to transfer it out of Gen 1 myself.
That mew can’t be transferred so yeah its trapped forever either way
Actually yes there is a VC Yellow specific way you can transfer it. You have to glitch it and make Bank think it’s a legit Mew. It’s hard to find good instructions but keep digging online.
So does this Video work For the yellow VC as well or is it different For That Game?
@@dederixx3165 it’s a different method entirely and there are various ways but yeah they are not interchangeable with Red/Blue and vice versa
@@kiefdreams Which is frankly BS since because of how packed the GameBoy cartridge was, GameFreak originally just snuck in Mew. Yeah, you heard me right, the Nugget Bridge/Fly glitch Mew was not actually a real glitch, at least not in intent.
And somehow it's one now.
I did it. TWICE. The first time I lost the savefile because of trying to duplicate it.
The second time I did not try that anymore. "Not for any biscuits in the world."
The definition of a perfect video, thanks Austin.
Literally just happened to me after 17 straight hours of play and no sleep 😴 idk if I have it in my to start all over again
I’m struggling so hard on the Abra teleport part. I’m so glad you posted because I too, have been meaning to do this for a long time. I guess I’ve just been waiting on you to post the walkthrough
This is already amazing by the title alone, thank you for all your hard work 🙏
It took a couple of days, and I had to search hours in the safari zone for a kangaskhan because I used a pre-set name, but I finally got 2 shiny mews by using this video! Thank you so much Austin!
Wait pre set name??, like ash..?
@@nurfed4883 If you chose one of the three preset names, like ash, it causes a missingno called 'M to not appear because of how the glitch works, 'M evolves in kangaskhan which is needed so I had to get one the normal way in the safari zone which takes forever.
i also used a pre-set name and spent 6 hours looking for a 'm lv. 0 missingno
@@gamerfails5938 yeah I looked it up eventually then spent 6 hours getting kangaskhan lol
You could just summon a kangaskhan using the nugget bridge glitch and a reference sheet of who you need to battle for kangaskahn to boot up at the bridge
15:48 from the moment you double catch Missingno, to the glitching team character, the Bird type, and the Kangaskhan evolving into a Kangaskhan, the Missing no saga always feels like a fever dream
I just migrated a Lvl 7 Shiny Mew to my Home! Idc what anyone says, this shiny Mew is legit. My brother watched your video and did this hunt before me. I'm 33, been playing pokemon since it first came to the states, to be able to do this 20+ years later is a really cool experience. Thanks Austin John, wouldn't have attempted this without you
I have just finished doing this and have successfully transferred them over to Pokémon Home. There was some things that were different for me specifically when doing the item underflow section. It just kept scrolling for me and eventually hit things. Using this video I just made sure to grab the appropriate one Nugget under HM04 and Bicycle, and again with the 8F.
Amazingly what corrupted my save was trying the dupe glitch (I did transfer off my Mews before attempting this) I am not sure what I did wrong but thank you @AustinJohnPlays for the video you have my like and subscribe as a new viewer.
The same happened to me, but I didn't make it shiny first. I got greedy and now I feel bad for losing my save and 22 hours of dicking around with these exploits...
@@Leftythewarlock Mine corrupted from duping too. Will probably try and do this again at some point but will take my time and make it a more casual play through.
mine as well 😭i was trying to dupe to get a 2nd mew as i only got 1 in the beginning. I didnt trasnfer them and now have to start over. Well should be a bit faster this time
@@edgequib oh no 😭 Best of luck on the next run through. A friend of mine pointed out that the instant text exploit works in Pokemon red and blue still so that might help speed it up 🙂
Talk to the bicycle shop owner and spamming b this will let you skip text boxes instantly.
Not sure on how long it stays but it would speed things up.
you have to time it perfectly or it will corrupt ur save same thing happens when u try the glitch to get all 3 starters
I was honestly super curious about this when you mentioned it, cause I've never heard about doing it on the virtual Gameboy :O YOU ARE A LEGEND
Just done this - having never played Pokémon Red before it took a long time but well worth it! Great guide!
Just banged my way through this for the last few hours...
It worked!
One issue with user error near the beginning but no crashes or anything like that. Worked an absolute treat. Thanks for the guide 🤘🏻
dang I was just downloading all the old games on my 3ds when this video popped up! as always thank you Austin for making awesome videos!
The feeling of humor and incredulity he takes over the missingno glitch and the things that surround it are so fun to experience for someone who used to do these glitches for fun when I was a kid lmao
Thank you for the video, very good walkthrough
Thanks Austin John! This video put the concept on my radar and helped with some of the more detailed steps, and then I followed along with Osirus's 6 hour vid in real-time to get Shiny Mew! It's truly crazy how people find these ways to affect encounters, stats, and more to achieve this end goal.
How the hell did someone figure this out for the first time. It almost seems like a troll "guide" that people would make to supposedly get rare Pokémon/things; so the fact this is legit and works is utterly amazing to me. Great guide and thanks for sharing, this was awesome and I'm definitely gunna try it in the near future, wish me luck.
I would never do this, but it was really fun watching you do it!
After an 11 hour run I was successful and my Mew is sitting in Pokémon Violet. Thank you so much for this guide! If it wasn’t for this very video I would not have even attempted this. It was an intimidating task at first but with your help I got it first try!
Thanks for an amazing vid! I found some og vids by someone showing how to use item underflow and stuff but this is a very awesome walkthrough! Was not expecting to find this sort of of vid here for some reason haha saw mostly the scarlet and violet tutorials
I just finished doing this. Took me around 9 hours to get them. Guide was extremely straightforward and simple to follow. I'm glad people were able to figure out how to do this( I've always wanted a shiny Mew). Thank you for this tutorial!
So we can still do it in feb 2024?
@@phasmairl It should still work
You're an absolute legend.. This is a super tedious deal, but you made it as easy as it could be! Thanks for helping me get my shiny mew!
Love these type of longer videos, THANK YOU AUSTIN!!
IT WORKED!! Thank you so much, Austin, I couldn't have done it without you and this guide! Got my blue belles in Violet right now. Only one thing left to do.
Thanks so much for this, Austin! This was a doozy but got it to work thanks to your help 🎉
This is all so incredibly specific, thank you so much for making a video about it
Your pokemon tutorials make life a lot easier sometimes thank you :)
thank you so so much! such an amazing pokémon and you did an amazing job explaining the process. such an amazing content creator and person!❤
I just finished this unique shiny hunt as a challenge. It was actually a lot fun to play the game again and get one of my favorite Pokemon. Going to make one as my catching pokemon for sure.
Kudos austin. I really admire you for doing videos that really matter and not just for the views and the money.
Although i dont see myself having the patience to go through this, I will still buy pokemon red from the 3ds eshop because who knows i might want to do this next holiday.
I'm glad to see that you're using 8F for this. Just a heads up and I'm not sure if you know, but because of emulation differences between both the 3ds and the original hardware interactions, glitches that wouldn't normally corrupt your save file now have a possibility to. I think the reason is it has to do with echo ram or something else that's not very well utilized on the hardware.
Thank you so much for this incredible guide. It took me a little more than 17 hours as I also quited enjoyed just playing Red again after such a long time, and now I finally have my shiny mew!
I happened upon the reddit post you mentioned at the end of the video a few months ago and decided to give this a try. Once I was able to do it, I sent 20 shiny mews at level 100 (using exp underflow to instantly level them) into home and used them to trade for other legendary/mythical pokemon I didn't have. My next challenge is getting a full gen 1 shiny living dex doing this method!
Not gonna do any of this, but im supporting with watch time. Thank you for putting in the work for those that are interested
its incredibly bloated by the world's most documented oldest glitches
@@_Banjo_ Then don't reply if you know how to do it then
Austin I appreciate the effort and time you put into this video. Thank you
Gonna be doing this soon so thank you so much for making this video, video guides are so helpful for me this is going to be great!
You are amazing! Thank you so much for your work to put out this amizingly well guided video!
This walkthrough is very tedious process but totally worth it!👍What a trip!
While I'm not planning on doing it at the moment due to how busy I am, I will do this in the future for myself and a cousin. I was wondering what pokemon I would need to encounter to get an Ekans/Arbok in Blue with the mew glitch. Aside from this one thing, this has been a video of the highest quality which is why this channel have been my go to for years.
I did this whole thing twice - it finally worked! First, my save data was corrupted via resetting at the wrong point while trying to duplicate mons in the box (8+hrs in, 8F obtained, duplicating Mew and somehow hit reset 2x before the game actually reset/corrupted.) Went back through from a fresh New Game, worked like a charm (6hrs to complete). Wonderful guide, thanks AJP!!
I’m doing something wrong. When duplicating the X. Specials, my encounter with Missingno automatically reduces my 9 by 2 and I have 7. Do I have to encounter Missingno twice or am I doing something wrong?
@@RayYoWTF did you ever resolve this? I have the same issue
Dude thanks so much for this video! I so can’t wait to try this!
As a 32 year old guy who grew up on Pokemon, I have been working hard over the past 3 years to get caught back up. I took a long break after White. Mew is my FAVORITE Pokemon. I did this within 3 days from when I saw this video. THANK YOU.
What a coincidence. I have been catching all 151 to fill out my Home Dex and JUST finished about an hour ago. Now I can officially have all 151. Thanks, bud.
You really helped me with this one, Thank you so much man!!
This works. I’ve been playing since Gen 1 and have never gotten a regular Mew at all. This video works, and now I have two! Thank you so much for the help Austin!
