Wondering what cloners do, or hoping to become an approved cloner?

PS! Wi-Fi permits the use of cloning for legitimate Pokémon. Cloning is essentially of copy/pasting existing Pokémon data in order to have multiple copies. If done correctly, the Pokémon data will not be altered, thus remaining legitimate by PS Wi-Fi standards.

Cloning methods that alter Pokémon data in any way is strictly banned and will render the Pokémon as illegitimate/hacked.

Supported Games:

• Scarlet & Violet
• Sword & Shield
• Legends: Arceus
• Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee

Important Note: We do not support cloning in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, this is due to the game having clone detection, which is capable of detecting clones and will block them from being traded or ever leaving BDSP.

How to apply:

Contact a member of Wi-Fi Room Staff when you see them available in the room to request the approved cloners form, only do so if you have a suitable cloning method (allowed methods are listed towards the bottom of this page).

Approved Cloners Must:

1. Have a solid grasp of room and proof rules.
2. Use a cloning method that allows for quick and efficient hack checks.
3. Be able to identify a hacked or illegal Pokémon reliably.
4. Be an active and positive presence in the room for an extended period of time. (Activity should be continued after joining the approved cloner team)

Room and proof rule knowledge and hack checking competency will be tested before you are approved for cloning! This is an open-book test so you will be able to refer to any information you need while the test is ongoing.

Important Information:

• Poor behaviour or extended hiatus from cloning will result in removal from our approved cloning team.
• Cloners must not give away Pokémon for free when negotiating trades or cloning, keep trade offers fair to support the trade economy.
• Cloners may be given privileged access to information and resources (including Pokémon), abuse of privileged positioning will result in removal.
• Scamming or trading hacked Pokémon in a position of trust will result in immediate removal and room punishment.
• If you need a second opinion on a hack check, approach a member of /roomstaff. (% or higher)
• If you get a suspicious cloning request, clone the Pokémon, return it, then approach a /roomstaff member with the Pokémon and logs of the conversation.

• PKHeX - We allow and recommend cloning using PKHeX as the tool is widely known and accepted for making accurate clones of Pokémon when used responsibly.
• Livehex - This is a plugin that communicates with PKHeX and your console which allows the capability to clone while the game is running.

It is extremely important to not misuse any of the above mentioned tools, as this will most definitely result in removal from the cloning team and/or room punishment!

• Action Replay.
• Powersaves.
• God Eggs.
• Other alternative cheating engines, tools, or glitches.
• Someone else's tool; for example, a bot.
• Anything not mentioned in the approved methods sections.

Note - Cloning for yourself using any of the above method is permitted, these clones must be exact copies of the original Pokémon however. Some of the cloning methods in this list may result in improper clones, and trading improperly cloned Pokémon will result in punishment up to a room Blacklist.
