It didn’t take long for Pokemon fans to find multiple faults and exploits in Scarlet and Violet. Players who can master these glitches can do everything from getting infinite money to flying at super speed! Fortunately, most glitches are easy to do and shouldn’t take a long time.
Item duplication issue
This exploit can be used by any player who has unlocked Battle Mode for Koraidon or Miraidon. In order to multiply any specific item, trainers need to attach that item (probably the Master Ball) to their legendary. Then add the legendary to the party via Battle Mode.
From there, with six Pokemon in the party, just catch another Pokemon. Once caught, the game will ask if the trainer wants to send another Pokémon to the box. Hover over Koraidon or Miraidon and press A and B one after the other very quickly. If done correctly, the player can place the item in the box and press + to summon a new legendary with the duplicate item attached.

Trainers can slide at high speeds with this glitch. For best results, Trainers will want to travel to the highest peak of Glazed Mountain (it will generate a travel point there if previously visited). From there, glide, press B to free fall while pulling the stick left or right, then press B to glide again. Each time this is done, the glide will gain speed. Trainers can reach super high speeds just by spamming.
Backup Save Error
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet actually has a backup feature that can be helpful for players who are getting the game to crash for whatever reason. At the title screen, players can press Up, X, and B at the same time to view their backup save details. These are the same buttons used to cancel a save file in DS games.

infinite money bug
For this glitch, players will need the ingredients for a peanut butter sandwich (peanut butter, butter, and banana). The plantain can be found at Sure Cans, while the other ingredients, as well as the snacks, can be purchased at Artisan Bakery.
To perform the actual glitch, players will need to disable autosave. Then, travel to the Asado desert, save your game, and collect the shiny items that appear on the ground. Players will want to search for a saved star piece beforehand.
Once players find the star piece, exit the game and reload it. Players should respawn right in front of the star piece they previously collected. Now, stand a couple places from the object and spawn a picnic. Position the picnic table so that the basket at the back is on top of the star piece.
From there, make the sandwich. If the Pokémon on the team are of alternate genders, they should spawn eggs after a while. Players can then go away AFK for a bit, and when they return, the eggs that normally spawn will actually be Star Pieces that they can sell for a lot of money.
