What Is an EXP Modifier Cheat?

The EXP Modifier cheat is a cheat code that gives your Pokemon an incredible amount of experience.

Basically, after you beat a Pokemon, the cheat will make the experience flow right in. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Trainer or Wild Pokemon battle, since the cheat will always work the same.

There are certain variations of the cheat depending on the game you’re playing.

For example, Pokemon FireRed has the standard unlimited EXP cheat as its EXP Modifier, unlike Pokemon White that features a x200 EXP cheat, as you will see below. 

This cheat also doesn’t require a Master Code to work.

Infinite EXP Cheat Type

This EXP Modifier cheat code will simply give the Pokemon an unlimited amount of EXP.

Even if the EXP is stated (i.e. OBTAINED 23 EXP), the amount you get is endless. You have to turn this one off so that the EXP will stop coming in.

Multiplication EXP Cheat Type

This EXP Modifier cheat isn’t infinite but more like calculated.

For example, a cheat could be a x20 multiplier, which means that the experience you get multiplied x20.

There are other multipliers going up to x200, but it all depends on the game.

How to Activate the EXP Modifier Cheat

Whether the EXP Modifier cheat you use is an infinite or multiplication type, the methods for activating them are the same.

The left one is for GBA emulators and the right is for DS emulators:

Step 1: Click on the Cheats Menu

Step 2: Select the Type of Cheat (Code Breaker, Action Replay, or Game Shark Code)

Step 3: Paste the Cheat

Step 4: Save and You’re Done!

Step 5: Check and See if the Cheat Works

EXP Modifier Cheat FAQs

In Closing

That concludes our look into the EXP Modifier cheat. With this cheat, you can get your Pokemon to reach level 100 in just one battle or two.

The Rare Candy cheat is the only substitute for this cheat or method. The good thing is that you don’t have items clogging up your bag or Item PC.

Save that item code for something else, maybe a Master Ball cheat, which is available on the numerous cheat lists we have.
