  1. The Pikachu surf cheat works for al pokemon. I put a ditto in the first position and turned on the cheat and ditto learned surf.

  2. Hi, I just used one of the Cheat Codes that lets you encounter a legendary, just for the pleasure of catching one. Is there any way to disable the cheat and get back to the normal encounters, now that I don’t need it anymore?

    Reply
  3. these cheats are the best ways to get version exclusives. I hate having to trade pokemon. the only thing with using codes is that it may get a little laggy. on the other hand, it’s so much easier getting the harder pokemon from the game

  4. I was 7 years old when this game came out and played it on a gameboy pocket. Never did i know i could hack till a decade later. And still never knew how yo until another decade later that i downloaded Myoldboy and now ita tons of fun playing gen 1 gen 2 games i played legit when i was young. And i always come to this same website to use cheats. Thanks my guy for always updating codes for us.

  5. Wish I read these comments prior to using them. Didn’t realize that the first item in your bag will eventually be gone or turn into something different. Lost my bike and only way to get it back is to restart. Not the end of the world but still sucks.

    • Sorry for what just happened Ritch. Unfortunately undesirable situations can happen when using cheats, not only on this game but the other Pokemon GBC annd GBA games.

      Reply
    • You can glitch the game by imputing the legendary cheat code and the master ball cheat code when you’re starting the game. Professor oak will catch the legendary and when you battle your rival it will be a wild pokemon battle with the legendary. Also, the sprite will be glitched and the bag will be also

      • thats true that exactly what happened i had to battle a Level 70 MEWTO
        I wish there was a way to pass that part

    Steps-

    Step3- Reset your game but don’t enter your save file wait at the title screen and Delete the cheat code and go back to the title screen

    Step4- enter your game and check your bag and it will be not ruined (I am not guaranteed that your bag will be not ruined but it worked for me)

  9. Hey There PokemonCoders. I’ve been In Trouble making the trainer repel cheat. It doesn’t work though, how can I fix it? (Its on Perfectly Coded since I copy the cheat code.)

    Reply
    • Make sure there isnt a space at the start of the code. When i copy paste it sometimes puts a space at the start or end of the code that glitches it

      Reply
    • I’m not quite sure about that skapo. I’ve done so many testing of cheats on iPhone but unfortunately only a few of them work.

      Reply
    • it will work if you download it from playstore by the creator called jean and you click on the 3 dots up top and click on cheats click add and put in the cheat code up top and call the cheat whatever at the bpttom

      Reply
  10. I used the rare candy cheat and lost all of my items, including the SS Anne ticket. Is there a way to get another ticket without starting a new game?

    Reply
    • Sorry to hear about that Kris, unfortunately this usually happens when using cheats to it pays to be careful when enabling one. I’m not sure if this will work but give any of these codes a try 013F7BCF or this one 01001208. Let me know how it goes in your game.

      Reply
    • Whenever you want to get items like master balls or rare candies etc, the top item of your bag converts into it.
      For eg: If ur top item bicycle when u activate cheat for master ball ur bicycle will be lost and u will get master ball. So to avoid this before activating cheats deposit imp or all items and keep something useless like pokeball at top of item list

      Reply
    • Guys, when you use the rare candy cheat or masterball, before activating the cheat, make sure in top of your storage list, is something easy to buy, ex antidote, potion… The rare candy or masterball will always replace the very top list items, so be cautious. Cheers!

      Reply
    • You have to just on the cheat codes you want to combine and back to the game and they will but make sure to save the game before combining the cheat or it can crash or glitch your game

      Reply
  11. Do I put in the codes for the legendary pokemon but the game wont let me catch them any idea how to fix this thanks in advance

    Reply
    • Thanks for the heads up pal, very much appreciated your help. I already fixed the code. We deal with a lot of cheats that’s why sometimes we miss reviewing some.

  12. Lmao so I caught Lance the dragon master in the elite 4 idk how it was with a masterball and the steal pokemon glitch and if u do this DO NOT USE HIM OR PUT HON IN UR PARTY corrupted all my saves even in Dropbox and deleted them so I have to start a new game but I already beat the game and waited till I beat it to use cheats so I don’t really care it was kinda funny but don’t catch trainers

    Reply
    • Lol, that’s funny but that’s an amazing discovery and thanks for sharing it Lance, a huge help to the community.

      Reply
    • You can’t catch any trainers. I caught like, the whole entire universe of trainers AND YOU CAN NOT USE THEM IF YOU DO, YOU’LL PROBABLY PRESS “FIGHT” AND THEN, YOU GUESSED IT your game crashed. AND DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED WITH ITEMS WHEN YOU SEND OUT THAT MESS OF A POKÈMON!

      Reply
    • Hi, thanks for dropping here and I’m glad to know the listed cheats for Pokemon Yellow worked out for you.

      Reply
        • Activated the second rare candy cheat and master ball cheat if you activate the first rare candy cheat you don’t get infinite you get how many items you can hold meaning once you use a master ball or a rare candy it will take your items in place of one…. So if it comes up as master ball x 1 or rare candy x 1 you did it wrong if it comes up as master ball x 40 or rare candy x 40 you did it right and your items are safe

          Reply
    • There’s no cheat for changing starter Pokemon. What do you mean missing money cheat? We have the codes for Infinite Money/Cash check it.

      Reply
  13. Instead of using the unlimited money code, have you tried using the unlimited rare candies code and sold them. It’s useful especially when you want to get money quicker.

    Reply
    • Same problem, the codes says the letters are lowercase but after I put them in they change to upper case, no rare candies ????????

      Reply
  14. Ye how do you input the codes on the gameboy colour? Is there a step by step to doing this. The codes are no use if no one knows how to use them or input them

    Reply
    • If you are using an actual gameboy color these codes are useless. You need to install a GBC emulator (an application that simulates the console) on Windows, iOS, Android, and more. There you can enter the codes
