How to Use Pokémon Emerald Cheats

If you are playing on an emulator:

1. Open Pokémon Emerald.
2. Open the emulator’s Cheats menu.
3. Choose the appropriate cheat type, such as GameShark.
4. Enter the code.
5. Save and activate the cheat.
6. Use the cheat in the game.
7. Turn the cheat off when you are finished.

The supplied source says it tested its codes with Visual Boy Advance (VBA) and also describes entering cheats through the VBA and My Boy cheat menus.

Important Cheat Safety Tips

Cheats do not always work correctly with every Pokémon Emerald ROM or emulator. The supplied source recommends saving before activating a cheat and checking that the game is behaving normally before saving again.

Keep these points in mind:

• Save your game before using a cheat.
• Use only the cheats you currently need.
• Deactivate cheats after use.
• Do not save if a cheat causes strange items, Pokémon, or other glitches.
• Some cheats require a specific Master Code.
• Codes can differ depending on the game version, ROM, emulator, or cheat system.

Why Isn’t My Cheat Working?

The most common reason is that the code does not match your version of Pokémon Emerald or your emulator. Different code types and game versions can require different codes. Current cheat databases also warn that incompatible ROM versions or using too many cheats at once can cause problems.

If a code does not work, first check:

1. Your Pokémon Emerald version.
2. Whether the code is GameShark, Action Replay, or CodeBreaker.
3. Whether the cheat requires a Master Code.
4. Whether another cheat is interfering with it.

Quick Tip

Don’t leave cheats activated permanently. Get the item, Pokémon, EXP, or effect you need, then disable the cheat before continuing normally.
