Hello! I’m using the VisualBoyAdvance emulator to play Pokémon Yellow – It has a ‘Cheat’ option but I can’t find out how to actually add them? Any help would be massively appreciated! I’m very new to this and don’t know how to add the cheats, Thanks!
Hi DoAFlipBruh, there are some VBA versions that do not work well with cheats, but this version Visual Boy Advance Download – Free GBA Emulator for PC is what we used and it works well.

Thanks for the feedback Robert, I appreciate your help.
Its work but it require a lot of money. 4800 poke dollar to be exact. This will be kind of impossible because I only have 1215 poke dollar. But works! But poke coder. Can i use the infinite money same time as using my rare candy cheat?
Hi PokefansMikey, thanks for the feedback. Regarding your question, I don’t usually recommend combining cheats with other cheats, but it can work depending on which cheats being used. Just to be safe, be sure to save progress before using these cheats.
Yes, I’ve just bought 99 candies 😁

Hey, I’ve used the “Meet Legendary Pokémon” cheat (Articuno) matched together with the Level Modifier (Level 5) and it did work, but the regular pokéball kept missing, is it just RNG or do I need to add something else to make it catch, please help :>
its just bad luck i also used the cheat and it worked I recommend using the infinite money cheat so you can buy infinite pokeballs to keep trying
01631ED3
This is a code that increases the amount of the item in first place to 99, and as long as that item stays in first place the amount doesn’t decrease. Convenient for items that are rare in-game.
Thanks for sharing this pal. Hopefully this will work with other players.
-Anyone here could confirm the code shared working? I appreciate your feedback.
It worked.. Already tried it
Wow! thanks for the confirmation Wazzup, I appreciate your help.
How to get rare candy and mega stone
Mega Stones don’t exist in Pokémon Yellow. As for the Rare Candies: you need there are codes for that above. You need to have both the code for the candy and the master code activated.

Can anyone help? I just want to catch the Pokemon that arent in game so I used the wild Pokemon encounter codes but the Pokemon always show up glitchy. I read a page from pokemon coders but the only thing I can think of is that i may have too new of a version but I dont know how to check. Can anyone help me figure out how to not make glitchy Pokemon? Thanks
Everyone’s Pokemon like that you need master balls to catch them
They show up glitchy but when you catch them (mSterball) they go back normal
When I used the rare candy cheat and master ball cheat some of my items disappear like the town map plss fix this cuz it’s really anoying
Perhaps you have other cheats enabled besides the rare candy? If yes, be sure to disable them all while leaving the rare candy cheat enabled.
