How do you clone on Pokemon Silver?

in the Pokemon center, save at the computer. the deposit the Pokemon you want to clone in a box. change the box but when it says "saving don't turn off the power" and shut it off anyway after the sentence ends. (sometimes it doesnt work if you don't shut it off at the right time or your pokemons name will be all messed up)

when you turn it back on you should have the Pokemon in your PC and in your bag. you can also give it an item like rare candy and you can clone it along with the Pokemon

But the way given above doesn't work.......... i think. Cause i've tried it several times
