# Double Pokeball success rate
Say "Gotcha" into the microphone at the moment the Pokeball makes contact with the Pokemon to double the success rate.
# Duplicate items
This trick requires a Pokemon that knows "Thief" and a Ditto. Enter a double battle with a Ditto without an item and a Pokemon holding the item you want to duplicate. Make Ditto transform into the Pokemon holding the item. Switch the Pokemon holding the item with the Pokemon that knows Thief. Use Thief on Ditto, then win the Pokemon battle. The Thief Pokemon will now have a duplicate of the item.
# Traps and Spheres duplication
Note: This trick requires two Nintendo DS systems. While underground, get some Traps or Spheres, then go to the surface and save the game. Go back down, and set your Trap or Sphere anywhere, then set the other person to COM and take the Trap or Sphere. Turn your game off, but leave the other person's game on and save it. Both people should now have the same Trap or Sphere.
# Tricking the clock
Because the in-game clock is in sync with your Nintendo DS and since certain events only happen every once in a while, you can simply adjust your DS clock. For example, the guard in the Pokemon Mansion is guarding the Bronze Statue around the clock, but he takes a break between 2 and 5 a.m. Just adjust your clock to that time and he will be gone. You can also do this to speed up berry production by jumping a few days back and forth.
# Polishing your Badges
Open your Trainer card menu, then open your badge case. Rub the stylus over the badges that you have won from the gym leaders; they will become shiny after a good polishing. Also, each badge makes a different noise, allowing you to play them like an instrument.
