How to Fix Not Working and Glitchy Cheats for Pokemon GBA Games

When playing with Pokemon GBA ROM hacks and activating cheats for Pokemon Game Boy Advance games can sometimes be tricky.

Featured Videos

Some readers complain that our listed cheat codes don’t work for them, while others say it works, however, they noticed some weird glitches.

What could be the main reasons for this? In my over ten and counting years of experience playing different Pokemon game titles and Pokemon ROM hacks using many emulators across several devices, there are several possible reasons why a particular cheat cannot work.

And what we are going to discuss in this article. I made a list of common problems players may have when using cheats and created guides to help them fix these problems.

Gameshark code not working fix

Reasons Why Cheats Don’t Work as Expected and How To Fix Them

Note: This article applies to Pokemon GBA games but can also be applied to other related games on Game Boy Advance.

You Missed Entering and Activating the Required Master code

Solution: Some cheats need to have a master code enabled before the main cheat, so when a cheat requires a master code, add it first before the main cheat. You can find more information by reading this guide.

The Cheat Isn’t Compatible with your Pokemon Game Version

Solution: Double-check your game title. See our collection of Pokemon game cheats.

You Have 1.1 ROM Version

Solution: Look for the V1.0 ROMs, as this version supports most of the cheats. You can easily find downloadable ROMS by a simple Google search, but most ROMs have version 1.1.

Unfortunately, most cheats will not work for this version. Please keep in mind that we don’t share rom files or give out information about roms. Sharing rom files is considered piracy.

Your Emulator Does Not Support GameShark Code, Action Replay, or CodeBreaker

Solution: Use recommended emulators such as My Boy for Android users, Visual Boy Advance for Windows (Use this version), Delta Emulator for iOS users, or mGBA for Mac users.

You entered the cheat code in the wrong format

Solution: Some emulators, such as open emu, require “+” to be entered to separate a line of code. Read FAQs, Instructions, and Help articles regarding your emulator.

You have the Free version of Emulator

Solution: The popular GBA emulator for Android – My Boy, offers a paid and free version of the app. The free version works perfectly, but you may need to pay for the premium version if you use cheats.

But if paying for the app is not an option now, the simple trick of adding multiple-liner codes as a separate cheat works well in many cases.

Too Many Enabled Cheats

Your ROM will get confused when too many cheat codes are activated at once, and this could result in various bugs, glitches, random crashing, and game freezing.
Solution: Disable unused cheats and activate only the cheat you need.

You Have Chosen the Wrong Cheat Type

This problem is prevalent in emulators that don’t have “auto cheat type” detection feature, and chances are, you have chosen the wrong cheat type.

Solution: The quick solution for this is knowing the appropriate type for your cheat; it could be GameShark/Action Replay, or Code Breaker.

Common Cheating Problems

Question Mark Sprite on Encountered or Caught Pokemon?

This is a common issue for two possible reasons; First, more likely that you entered the wrong Pokemon encounter code. Second, the Pokemon code and sprite don’t exist in the game.

This issue happens a lot when playing ROM hacks. Solution? Double-check if the code or the Pokemon exists in the game.

Glitchy Name for Captured Pokemon

This bug usually happens when using the shiny Pokemon cheat, and the possible reason it occurs is that cheating is not fully supported in Pokemon GBA games.

But there is an effective fix for this problem that has been tested for many players.

Solution: To fix the glitchy Pokemon name, you must disable the shiny cheat just before capturing a Pokemon or give your it an empty name.

Item Not Appearing in the PokeCenter?

You entered the item cheat, and after checking your PC, there’s nothing in there. Or perhaps your chosen item is not on the list. There are a few possible reasons for that.

  • You have v1.1 rom version. Solution: Find and use v1.0 rom version.
  • Emulator or the game not recognizing the item cheat. Solution: Go in and out of the PokeCenter at least five times, and recheck your PC.

Invalid Cheat Messages

There are three possible reasons why this error message pops up.

  • Wrong cheat type
  • Wrong cheat code
  • Empty spaces before or after the code

Solution: Select the correct type for that cheat; the majority of cheats are either CodeBreaker or Action Replay codes type, so if the first one didn’t work out, switch to the other one.

Be sure to check the cheat if it is compatible with your game version. For FireRed-based rom hacks, typical FireRed cheats could work, and for Emerald-based rom hacks, regular Emerald cheats could also work.

Empty spaces could also result in an invalid cheat issue. When copying a cheat, make sure not to include empty spaces. When entering the cheat, make sure to eliminate any empty spaces before and after the code.

Conclusion

It’s frustrating when you can’t activate a cheat, and there are plenty of reasons why this thing is happening.

Hopefully, the solution and information above give you the insights to solve your problem finally.

Just in case the solution above doesn’t work, feel free to drop your comments below, and I will do my best to help you as humanely as possible.

  1. So i’m playing Fire Red on Delta Emulator and using the

    “Item Modifier Cheats in PC (Action Replay) cheat for TMs specifically the ones that are one time uses like shockwave and others like shadowball etc.

    and I have added both Master Code and Anti-DMA as suggested

    “To ensure the cheats function correctly, make sure to enable the Master Code and Anti-DMA cheat codes.”

    so it worked for both ice beam as well as shock wave and i’m trying to use it for shoadwball

    my issue is when i activate the Master Code and Anti-DMA cheat then select which TM i want, because i inputted a few TMs that i left unchecked in this format (82003884 AAAA) hopefully i was supposed to do that becuase i didn’t want the 99x version

    so after checking the code (specifically Shadow Ball) i get 3x whichever TM and it appears in my bag right under my first item which in my case is a tiny mushroom

    so when i go to my pc and deposit the TM (shadowball) becuase it doesn’t appear in my TM case so i have to deposit it and the withdrawal the TM so i can use it from my case.

    When i do that and exit my bag and turn off *uncheck* both master codes Master Code and Anti-DMA as well as shadowball my bag is cleared of all its items aside from my first item, which is the tiny mushroom.

    why it’s doing this i’m not sure, anytime i check or activate the cheats including the TM i was using all my items are restored. so idk if i need to clear my bag first or if im using the wrong type of cheat code but it was doing it for shockwave at first and i found a way around it.

    Now with shadowball it’s glitching and doesn’t return my items unless those 3 cheats are activated. So i haven’t used any TM cheats since then, what could be the issue ?

  2. I only have 1 problem with my cheat input. I am using Visual Boy Advance. I click tools, cheats, and list cheats, then the +flag to add a cheat. It opens a new tab. This tab says “Edit Cheat” and lets me choose the type (code breaker) and description, but it gives me no option to actually enter a code. It says “Codes” but has no input box underneath. Why is this?

  3. I’m using LuckyEmulator on iOS and using the Wild Pokemon modifier cheat. Almost everything works, I’m trying to catch a wild Bulbasaur and the encounter happens fine with the right pokemon but each time I go into my bag when I exit, the screen goes black. The battle music is still playing in the background but nothing is happening. I’m using version 1.1

    Reply
    • Hey Zach, welcome here. It seems you’re experiencing a glitch caused by activating several cheats. I’m not too familiar with LuckyEmulator, but if possible, try using the same cheats on Delta for iOS — it’s known to handle cheat codes more reliably. This will help you determine which emulator works best for your setup. Let me know if this helps.

  4. Hey I’m trynna put in to get the Gallaudet and Lucarionite and when I put the code it’s fine i see it in the store but when I buy it it just sends me back the the start screen on the game on Pokemon inbound version 2.1.1.1

    Reply
    • Hi Angel, welcome here. It seems you’re experiencing glitches caused by having multiple cheats activated. Even after disabling them, some cheats can remain active in your emulator’s memory. I suggest disabling or deleting all cheats, then saving your game progress using the in-game save (not save state). After that, close and restart your emulator — this should help clear any previous cheat effects. Let me know if my suggestion helps.

  7. I’m playing Pokémon Crystal on delta emulator and all my key items disappeared. I tried to get a specific key item afterward but it is not popping up. When the game gives me a new item it doesn’t get added to the bag.

    Reply
    • Hello Christian, thanks for dropping by. I’ve experienced this issue before, and sadly there’s no way to undo it unless you have a previous save state in your emulator. This usually happens when cheats are overused, especially with the all items cheat. Next time, save your game progress before using any cheats, and avoid saving if you encounter issues.

  8. Hi there, I’m playing unbound. And I don’t want to grind the lucarioite. And I entered the master code and the code for lucarios stone. but when I save it it always goes in auto detect when I need code breaker. I save it as code breaker and nothing.

    Reply
    • Codes for item modifiers like lucarioite are code breaker cheat types, if your emulator can auto detect a cheat type then you don’t have to select Code Breaker as it’s always automatic. After that, you can either try going to PC and withdraw the item, or alternatively purchase the item from the Pokemart.

  9. I am playing Leaf Green on V1.1. I am trying to force a shiny encounter with Cubone. When using my game specific and version specific codes (and the master cheat) I can only have the wild modifier (cubone) cheat active but not the shiny modifier. When I disable the cubone modifier, all pokemon are shiny. When I disable the shiny modifier, all pokemon are cubones. When disabling the master cheat does not effect either outcome.

    Reply
    • Hello Zane, welcome to Pokemoncoders. It appears that you are trying to combine the wild pokemon modifier cheat with the shiny cheat. Unfortunately that won’t work, even on other Pokemon games. You can either activate only shiny or wild Pokemon modifier cheat alone. Hope my answer helps.

  10. I know I accidentally put in too many cheats at once. Basically I have an issue now where every time I go to the poke center to withdraw the items that I put cheats in It’s still showing the previous items of cheats that I put in the pc and since I saved the game, now every time I start the game up and put in new cheats, the items will not show up in PC only the items that I previously put in cheats for so I uploaded a Imgur video to show you

  11. Hey, I’m having a issue where I know I put in too many cheats at once and when I went to the poke center to withdraw these items I kept getting the hm surf popping up and not the other stuff that I enabled for the cheats. Now, the important part here is that I saved the game and now when I disabled the cheats and try to enable new ones, but not have so many every time I go to the poke center there’s no room in the item storage to load up the new cheats I enabled because it’s still showing the same hms from the previous cheats under my save file when trying to upload new cheats. Basically the items are stuck in my item storage from my previous cheat and since I saved the game now when I try using new cheats, those items in storage will not remove itself or show me the new items. I’m trying to withdraw when putting in the cheat. Here’s a Imgur video link below that I linked on the website tab below with my information. I don’t have a load or safe state prior to the cheat so is there a way to fix this without completely starting the game over?

    Reply
    • Hey Avery, welcome here. I checked the image you shared and I completely understand your situation—it’s definitely inconvenient. That’s one of the main drawbacks of using cheats, especially if multiple codes are enabled at the same time and then the game is saved. If restarting your emulator doesn’t fix the issue, you might want to try using the PKHeX tool to edit your save file. This way, you don’t have to reset your entire game.

  12. I have a blue gameshark for Gameboy advance it works, but I can’t get the mastercode for pokemon to read my gameshark attach in my game when I entered it my v1.2

    Reply
    • Hello Jesus, thanks for coming here! I’m not entirely sure what you mean by “Blue GameShark.” Are you referring to a specific Pokemon game, or do you mean using a physical GameShark device on a console? If it’s the latter, I’m afraid I can’t help much since we mainly focus on playing and testing cheats through emulators here.

  13. When i entered the tm case cheat i can no longer use the tm case and after exiting the tm case everything suddenly turns into a question mark and it crashes my game what do i do? I already re entered the right code and put in the right master code but it still wont work

    Reply
    • Hey John, welcome here! Unfortunately, using cheats can cause different kind of issues, and it looks like you’re running into one of them. Hopefully, you have a previous save file so you can roll back to your earlier progress. If not, you might need to start over or try disabling all cheats, restarting your emulator, and seeing if that clears things up. Let me know how it goes!

      Reply
    • Hey Nge2, thanks for stopping by. I always recommend enabling only one cheat at a time, this really helps avoid crashes. In your case, try turning off all the cheats first, save your game using in-game save (not save states), and then restart your emulator. This should clear any effects from previous cheats you used. Let me know how it goes!

  14. Using:
    FireRed (1636 Squirrels), verified v1.0 by checking Pidgey dex description

    Trying to use the “get all 3 starters” code (83000F9C 0000). I tried it by itself, then in conjunction with a master code (1003DAE6 0007). Each time I tried it, I fully reset first, with no save file. Made sure the codes were turned OFF on startup. Activated cheat(s) at “Give a nickname to [X]?” prompt, with no luck. Both codes are being used as Code Breaker, on a Delta emulator.

    No matter what I do, the game acts as if no cheat is active. Only movement I can make is to move the cursor between “yes” and “no.” Is there something I’m doing wrong?

    • Hey Show, make sure to activate only one cheat at a time. Enabling too many cheats at once can cause various issues—like the one you’re currently experiencing. Keeping it to a single active cheat helps the game run smoothly, and don’t overuse cheats. Hope this helps.

  19. Found solution to previous post , when using shiney+wild encounters and getting bad egg/ wrong sprite:

    be sure to disable ALL cheats, save the game after battle starts (I used the quick save slot as I only run one game at a time), close the app(MyBoy paid in my case), then reload save, capture pokemon

  20. Is it a known issue when combining shiny+wild encounters to keep receiving a “bad egg” or the wrong sprite for the pokemon? Used the get a shiny Charizard, caught no issue, then checked and it had the shiney weedle sprite with Charizard name

    Reply
    • Hi Towelie, thanks for stopping by! It’s actually not recommended to combine cheats. Doing so can lead to issues like Bad Eggs, random freezing, glitches, and even game restarts. To avoid these problems, enable only one cheat at a time and disable it immediately after using it.

      Also, if you’re playing a ROM hack, keep in mind that you might end up encountering different Pokemon than expected — this is common due to how hacks modify the game’s data. Hope this helps!

  21. Is there a fix for the message “box is full” when trying to catch a pokemon using the shiny cheat? Specifically trying to get Mewtwo, none of my pc boxes are full except for box 2. I have every other pokemon out of the first 149, I even tried completely emptying box 1 and it says the same thing.

  22. So I’m playing Pokemon unbound and when I activate the shiny cheat the ralts appearance cheat and the cheat to make the nature modest it always defaults to Rash is there a way to fix this

    Reply
    • Hey JC, unfortunately, combining certain cheats doesn’t work. If you enable the shiny cheat along with the nature cheat, the nature cheat won’t take effect. This happens because the shiny cheat locks both the Pokémon’s gender and nature. The only way to change them is by restarting your game to clear the cheat and then trying again—you might get a different shiny Pokemon with a new gender or nature. Give it a shot!

  23. Hello I would like so assistance. I’m playing Pokémon fire red on the R36s emulator and I am getting freezing I am going to walk through what I am doing and hopefully you can help me with what I am doing wrong.

    When I first start a game I enter the codes for Infinite Master Balls in the poke mart and the Infinite rare candy in the pc. Everything works fine. I turn both codes off after I use them. I then use the random pokemon in the wild hack I enter the master code and the wild code for a pokemon the pokeman appears in the wild as it should. I catch the pokemon with the master ball. I disable that the codes to catch that pokemon. I wait like 10 mins then I try to catch a second legedary pokemon in the wild. I use the same master code then i enter a whole different code to catch the send pokemon in the wild I make sure I activate the code after I enable it. when I go i the grass to try to catch the second pokemon the game freezes. Is their anything I can do to stop the game from freezing after I go after the second pokemon?

    Reply
    • Hey Will, thanks for stopping by! The freezing issue you experienced is likely caused by having multiple cheats enabled at the same time. This is a common reason for freezing, and unfortunately, simply disabling the cheats in your emulator doesn’t always resolve the issue, as the emulator may still detect them.

      To fully clear any active cheats, make sure to disable all cheats, then restart your game and reopen it. I always recommend enabling only one cheat at a time and avoiding overusing them to prevent such problems. I hope this helps!

  27. I have been using your website for over 10 years. The only code I use is the ‘Infinite Exp’ cheat. But all this time I have been using modded emulators. But recently I bought John GBA from play store as it is a lot cheaper than MyBoy, I couldn’t activate the master code. There was an option in MyBoy to bypass that error by pressing ‘ignore’ option. But in John’s case there is no option to ignore the error message. Any help?

    • Hi Anirban, wow! that’s so sweet! Thank you for always coming back here and to your support. To answer your question, sad to say John GBA’s cheating feature isn’t great. I have tried it myself and had the same situation as you. MyBoy is a tried and tested android app when it comes to cheating and emulation, you can’t go wrong with it. For my suggestion, I suggest switching to Myboy if possible.

  42. Hi. I’m new to both emulators and cheats. I have pizza boy pro playing unbound 2.1.0. Not generally a fan of heavy cheat usage, but I’m trying to just get a couple of things, like a fire stone and link stone. I’ve looked up codes specific to my game and version, using a master code and an item code. I’ve tried game shark, code breaker etc. When i go to the pokemart to buy the item, it slightly glitches the name of the first item, but doesn’t make the change to a stone.
    Any ideas?

    • Thanks for being here Stew. There are two possible causes why the cheat glitched and failed to work. One, perhaps you enabled multiple cheats at once (Use one cheat at a time). Second, Pizza boy might not support the cheat (We use MyBoy, myboy works well with cheats).

    • Hi Alejandro, perhaps you enabled two or more cheats at once. As a rule of thumb, enable one cheat at a time only, and after using be sure to disable them. Some emulators needed to restart to take effect any changes made in the cheating function.

    • Sorry to hear the situation, I know how it feels when your game freezes. My suggestion is that, enable one cheat at a time. Cheating varies per emulator, I highly recommend Myboy if you’re planning to use cheats with your game.

    So I’ve used the “all pokeballs” “rare candy” and “$1 pokeshop” cheats not sure which caused my issue but now anytime I open my TM case its all gibberish. Now I can scroll up and down the list and it gets worse as I go down and starts to overlap, the moment I try to exit it out of the TM Case, the game freezes and I either reset the game through the menu option or just close the app entirely.
    This is an issue because I’m at the point where I need to use CUT to get into Vermillions Gym, and I cant.
    So I figured I’d just use the walk through walls cheat but it didn’t work.

    • It is working but you have to capture the pokemon first with the cheat fully enabled the whole time which will lead to a name glitch and female gender pokemons which sucks

      Reply
      • To get rid of name glitch, all you have to do is turning off the cheat before catching the shiny Pokemon. But regarding the gender issue, there’s no fix for that yet unfortunately 😢.

    • Check the version of your ROM, if it’s V1.1 then most likely the wild Pokemon modifier will not work. If you have v1.0 rom but the cheat still fails to work double check if you entered the code correctly and if it doesn’t help try switching to other emulator, I recommend My Boy.

      Reply
          • You can easily determine if your ROM is v1.0 or not by simply applying the cheats in it. When almost all of the cheats do not work then chances you have the V1.1.

          • Too bad, Have you tried turning off all other codes except the code you need? If this doesn’t fix, then do not use the cheat as it maybe incompatible with your game version.

    • Be sure to select the appropriate cheat type, John GBA don’t have auto detect cheat type feature not like My Boy so you have to select it yourself. You may choose from “GameShark Code”, “GameShark V3” often called as Action Replay code or the “CodeBreaker”.

      • I’m having trouble and I’m considering whether it’s a version thing?

        So in my case, it’s Fire Red. The “Get all 3 starters” CodeBreaker (not GameShark) which should be 83000F9C 0000 (those are zeros, all of them).

        Now I’ve read guides, faqs, watched videos… and it just won’t work. My Boy (free version) on Android. Thing is, the very SAME ROM on my Visual Boy in PC can work the code like a charm.
        So I’m thinking that the problem is not the code nor the ROM, but the emulator. And yet, many people claim it works in their My Boy (and the YT videos seem to testify to that, unless they’re somehow fake).

        Ideas?

        Reply
        • My Boy Free version don’t accept two or more liner cheat codes. This means when the cheat has more than one line then it will be rejected unless you will spend for the paid My Boy which I did and didn’t regret it. Visual Boy Advance is a good alternative for My Boy free as the software is free to use and offers all capabilities you need.

          On the other hand, if have GBA rom version v1.1 then most likely not all the cheats will work for these emulators.

    • First off, cheats works best for Emerald V1.0 not the V1.1. You also need to have a good GBA emulator that fully supports cheating such as My Boy. Lastly, be sure to activate a cheat after use to avoid conflicts which could result to random game reset, crash or freeze.

    • For more reliable and fast GBA emulation I would suggest using MyBoy. Most free apps have limited capabilities and so GBA.EMU as well as MyBoy. I strongly suggest buying MyBoy, you will not regret when you pay for the full version. Although I do not suggest but you can go with MyBoy APK which you can download online, just do a Google search.

    • Most likely it’s your ROM causing the problem. Where did you get it? I would love to find a cheat that works for your ROM version.

    • Sorry to hear that man but I’m afraid I can’t help you. Uploading games online created by Nintendo is not legal and it’s an obvious violation of emuparadise and the files were taken down. But there’s a possibility that emuparadise will make it available again.

  112. Hello,
    I had downloaded gba4ios and pokemon emerald a few years ago, and the cheats worked fine. But then I deleted it and decided to come back to it and the cheats where you choose a wild pokemon to appear when you walk through grass doesn’t work. It just crashes when a pokemon finds me. I have been using ign’s cheatcodes on the “wild pokemon modifier second part” I recall the first part did nothing a couple years back and it still does nothing now, but now the second part is causing me to crash. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  113. When I save the line of code in the cheats it automatically puts a space in the middle of the code, is that my problem?

  114. Man I’m using Pokémon Emerald on VBA emulator 1.8 version on P.C…. Not even a single cheat is activating …. Tried a lot searched for solutions can’t understand why isn’t it working

    • Hi there Ather, I believe you have a mobile device, VBA is pretty old emulator. I would suggest installing MyBoy(Android) or GBA4iOS(iOS) to play Pokemon Emerald. Cheats can work too with these apps.

  115. I’ve checked all of this. I’m using OpenEmu from the link given here. I’m also using the same FireRed that’s linked here too. I’ve precisely used the exact mastercode for finding pokemon:

    000014D1 000A+1003dae6 0007+83007CEE YYYY

    It’s worked once from my first save but I couldn’t battery save that version. Now that I’m trying to start again. The code no longer works even when its been on the exact same version.

    If you provide any help that would be great because this has been really frustrating, given that it has worked with me before but no longer does now.

    • Man, I totally understand your concern as I’m a Mac user as well. But what I’ve done is I decided to shift to MyBoy. Some Pokemon GBA cheats aren’t working anymore for OpenEMu. I suggest downloading Bluestacks and install MyBoy for Android.
