WithPokemon Scarlet and Violethaving just released, some fans are discovering bizarre glitches like one that transforms the trainer into a giant monster.Pokemon Sword and ShieldandPokemon Legends: Arceusboth released with their fair share of bugs, but thisPokemon Scarlet and Violetissue makes its trainer unrecognizable from the one players start the games with.
Reddit user BahamasGreatCrossing is among a few earlyPokemon Scarlet and Violetencountering glitches, with their clip focusing on one associated withmounting the Legendary Pokemonin multiplayer. AlthoughPokemongames have been known for their multiplayer since Gen 1,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetis the first major attempt at allowing multiplePokemontrainers to explore the open region of Paldea together.Pokemon Sword and Shieldfeatured an open zone where players could group up with friends called the Wild Area which had its own perks separate from the main story, butPokemon Scarlet and Violetoffer more freedom which may be part of what causes the aforementioned bug.

BahamasGreatCrossing’s clip begins with the player standing next to another near a Crocalor which is the first evolution of theFire-type starter Pokemon, Fuecoco. The primaryPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayer mounts their Koraidon twice in rapid succession, after which their partner moves from one side of them to the other. Standing on the opposite side of the initial player from the beginning of the video, the second player faces the other and calls upon their Miraidon which causes the bizarre giant monster trainer glitch as it spawns larger than it should and causes the trainer to grow drastically as well.
Towering over the other player, the glitchedPokemon Scarlet and Violettrainer turns to face the camera which shows not only the towering frame that dwarfs the other player but also a disfigured face. The giant trainer then dismounts and summons their enlarged Miraidon again which shows that they can also temporarily move around thePokemon Scarlet and Violetregionas this monster. Because the clips of this glitch end beforePokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers can explore the region as the much taller trainer, it’s currently unclear how far they can traverse before returning to the original form or encountering game-breaking issues.
While manyPokemon Scarlet and Violetfans expressed their entertainment from BahamasGreatCrossing’s clip, another suggested that it isn’t a bug but rather the trainer learning how toDynamax like inPokemon Sword and Shield. Though some players are lamenting how disturbing this glitch is and would like it removed from the game alongside otherPokemon Scarlet and Violetissues, a few have implored Game Freak to keep the giant trainer in it.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violetare available now for Nintendo Switch.
