In a post on Reddit, a user known as sausageandtea shared a video from their time playingPokemon Legends: Arceus. This clip was particularly interesting as it showcased a peculiar glitch involving the Basculegion. While attempting to ride the Pokemon in the water, the player double jumped.

After a few moments, it disappeared and teleported the Reddit user back down to the ground.
