The third-generation entries are possibly some of the most loved out of all the Pokémon games, and they’ve definitely received the most tinkering from the community. Since these games have yet to fall out of fashion, we’ve got plenty of amazing Pokémon Ruby cheats you can immediately start using to enhance your gaming experience.
How Do You Use Pokemon Ruby Cheats?
Pokemon Ruby, along with Sapphire and Emerald, are some of the best-made Pokémon games out there, at least when it comes to hacking. Since cheat codes are essentially a beginner’s version of programming, it’s beyond simple to start using cheat codes in Pokemon Ruby right now.
In fact, the hardest part of all of this is finding the codes, and we’ve done that work for you. All you need to do is take these codes and load them into whichever emulator you’re using, or if you’re a bit more old-fashioned, your Gameboy Advanced.
Realistically though, most of us are going to be using some sort of emulator. Fortunately, that means you’ll likely already have access to a cheat cartridge since most emulators come preinstalled with Action Replay Gameshark and other code appliers.
If you don’t have an emulator or a ROM of Pokemon Ruby, go grab those basic supplies and then catch us in the next section for a quick walkthrough.
Enabling Cheat Codes in Pokemon Ruby
Pokémon Ruby cheats work the same as they would in any other game. You input codes in the ‘cheat code’ area of your emulator, make sure they’re applied and then enjoy as you take full control over your game. In this section, we’ll walk you through that process step-by-step.
We start by going into your settings and finding ‘cheats’, ‘cheat codes’, or some similarly named option. When you click that, you should get a pop-up box that looks something like the image below.
With that opened up, we can start actually adding cheat codes so we can get to the good stuff. To do so, use the following steps:
Click ‘Add Gameshark’. Since the codes we’re using are all Gameshark codes, we’ll want to make sure our emulator knows it.
Name your new code. Trust us, when you start using even more than five codes you’ll want to make sure they’re named for easy access.
Type or paste your code into the box on the right. Most emulators make it very clear where your codes should go, such as the example’s “Enter codes here…” prompt.
Click ‘Add’. This will attach the code you’ve written to the name you’ve created. If you accidentally just created a new code, don’t worry. Just go back and make sure the name on the left is highlighted when you click ‘Add’.
Check the box next to your new code. Checked codes will be applied to the game, while unchecked codes will sit dormant.
Possible Step: Enable codes. Some emulators have a different setting that turns all codes on and off. If you want your codes to run and you have this setting, you’ll need to make sure codes are enabled.
It’s important to remember that when we use cheat codes, we’re tampering with how the game is supposed to work. If Game Freak wanted us to have unlimited rare candies, they would’ve given them to us.
So, when we use codes, we need to be careful. Too much tampering can lead to glitches, game crashes, and even corrupted save files. Remember: save your game often, do not apply too many codes at the same time, and turn off codes when you’re done using them.
Troubleshooting Pokemon Ruby Cheats
The Pokémon Ruby Gameshark codes we use here are incredibly precise strings of letters and numbers, so a lot can go wrong with even relatively small errors. If you’ve run into a problem, don’t worry, there are some simple steps we can take to resolve the problem.
Make sure your codes are applied. It might seem simple, but it’s incredibly easy to forget to check a box.
Ensure your code is input correctly. Just one wrong character can lead to a code not working or working in an entirely unexpected manner.
Make sure you’re using the write cheat cartridge. Generally, this means to make sure your code was applied as a Gameshark code, but you also might want to try using it through a different code applier. As we said, every emulator is different.
Lighten the load on your game. If you have too many codes running, it’s very possible that they might be conflicting with each other. Reducing the number of applied codes is often a quick fix to any problems you might be running into.
Alright! Now that we’ve got the basics covered, let’s get to the codes themselves!
Pokémon Ruby Cheats
We’ve put together a list of Pokémon Ruby cheats that you’re sure to love. Naturally, we’ve also tested them all, so we can ensure you that what you read is what you’re going to get.
Remember, all of these codes, unless otherwise noted, are Gameshark codes. While they should technically work through other cheat cartridges, you’ll want to stick with Gameshark for guaranteed performance.
Item Cheat Codes
These cheat codes will allow you to get whatever items you need to enjoy the game.
Unlimited Rare Candies cheat
What better way to start our list off than with a classic rare candies cheat? This code will place 99 Rare Candies in your PC. If you pull them all out and exit the PC, there will always be 99 more Rare Candies there to take their place.

Unlimited Master Balls Cheat
This cheat works exactly the same as the Rare Candies cheat, just replacing the ‘Rare Candy’ item with the ‘Master Ball’ item. You’ll definitely want to be using this cheat with others on our list since easily catching shiny pokémon and legendary pokémon is best done with a Master Ball.

Party Pokémon Ruby Cheat Codes
These Pokémon Ruby cheats will allow you to modify certain aspects of pokémon that are already in your party.
Throughout this section, you’ll see that most of the ‘max stats’ codes end in ’03E7′. In hexadecimal, this translates to 999, which is why all of the supposed max stats will go to 999.
This is obviously great, but if you want your pokemon’s stats to be a bit more realistic, you can use a decimal-to-hexadecimal converter to replace those last three digits.
For our own coding purposes, we tend to use ‘0226’. This gives us a whopping 550, which sits among the upper limits of actual stats you’d see on a level 100 pokémon.
Level 100 Pokemon
There’s no need to use any rare candy if you simply set the levels of your pokémon. Again, you can modify this code by changing the ’64’ at the end to a lower number. Here are a few options just to make your life easier:
Level 50 – ’32’
Level 36 – ’24’
Level 70 – ’46’
No matter which level you choose, one thing is for sure: this is definitely a quicker method than employing a Rare Candy code.

Battle Cheat Codes
These helpful cheats are what you need to take complete control over any battle you end up in.
Catch Enemy Trainer’s pokémon
This Ruby cheat lets you throw pokeballs at another trainer’s pokemon. However, it doesn’t automatically let you catch them, so you’ll probably also want to use the unlimited master ball cheat we have listed above.

Miscellaneous Cheats
This section is reserved for Ruby cheats that don’t quite fit into a neat category.
Infinite Money
Infinite money cheats make Pokémon games a breeze. Whether you just want to stock up on healing items or you’re looking to fill up your Coin Case, this is the code for you.
E51E97C3 7858E4EB
Complete Pokedex
If you’re looking to fill out your Pokedex without a complete collection of pokémon from the Hoenn region, this code will get the job done for you.
This Ruby cheat will automatically give you all 8 badges, along with any privileges that might come along with them.
A12FCE77 0C1EC556
Walk through walls cheat
The walk through walls cheat is well-known by pokémon fans worldwide. Quite simply, it allows you to walk through walls.
More accurately, this code lets you walk where you’re not supposed to. Sure, that means you can walk through walls, but it also means you can walk through trees, over water, through ledges, and so much more.
Be warned, this code can easily create some glitches for you, so be careful and save often.
