You might think, as a fully paid-up member of the Snowpoint Gym Is Great fanclub, I would be outraged by this idea. With the bug, you simply have to spam the diagonal direction button and watch your chibi avatar stumble into the stairs over and over again before eventually jumping up them, bypassing the whole thing.

This, without bugs, is part of the gym’s genius - you start practically at the end, which is why it’s so frustrating to have to make the long and complex mathematical journey around the rest of the gym. This, as always, leaves you missing Candice’s steps by just one tile, forced to slip and slide the long way around to get back to where you started.

This bug allows you to skip the complex puzzle entirely - usually, you need to slide around Snowpoint Gym on the icy tiles, using snowballs to block your path, taking strategic routes to eventually reach Candice all while battling her underlings as you make a circuitous trip around the gym. I know Pokemon fans will be astounded to hear that one bug escaped the butterfly net of an otherwise pristine launch, but I promise it’s true. You might have seen that there’s a bug in the gym. If you have indeed made your way to Snowpoint, you’ll know that this is not the case at all. Not only is its design brilliant, it’s perfectly suited for the 3D chibi glow-up that would surely arrive with BDSP. She’s the best Gen 4 gym leader, although Crasher Wake is the only serious competition there, and she has a fantastic gym.

Months ago, I wrote about how Candice was the trainer I was most looking forward to battling in BDSP. This is the Ice-type gym led by Candice, who randomly decides to become Candfighting-psychic with a rogue Medicham in her team.

If you’ve been playing Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl since launch, you’ve likely made your way to or even passed Snowpoint Gym by now.
