Pokemon Black Cheats: A Complete Guide (Plus Our Best Picks) (2024)

This post was last updated on July 1, 2024

With potential Gen V remakes right around the corner, there’s never been a better time to revisit Pokemon Black for the Nintendo DS. Of course, if you’ve already played through these games, you might want to introduce some sort of challenge or new playstyle, which is exactly why you need Pokemon Black cheats and cheat codes to guide you on your way.

Pokemon Black Cheats

We’ve compiled our complete list of Pokemon Black cheats below. We know that looking through a bunch of codes can be overwhelming, so don’t worry, we’ve made sure to group them all into easily accessible categories.

Item Cheat Codes

The Pokemon Black cheats we’ve included in this section all put some sort of items into your bag, eliminating the need to run around and pick up every Pokeball lying around on the ground.

Get 900 Rare Candies

Probably one of the most convenient cheat codes we have on this whole list. Simply press L and R at the same time with this code enabled and you’ll be able to evolve pokemon without grinding in any playthrough or nuzlocke you might be attempting.

Cheat Code:

94000130 FCFF0000
02234784 03840032
D2000000 00000000

Get 900 Master Balls

Later on, in this article, we have a code that increases the catch rate to 100% for all pokemon. While we’d suggest that one for ease of access, this is probably the best option for players who want to decide whether or not they should have guaranteed success.

Again, simply press L and R at the same time to activate this code.

Cheat Code:

94000130 FCFF0000

Items 900x

While the previous two codes give you specific items, the next few cheats are focused on filling an entire section of your inventory. This particular code fills the ‘item’ pouch of your bag which, in Pokémon Black Version, includes pokeballs, mail, and all sorts of held items.

Press select to activate this code and fill your inventory with 900 of every item.

Unlock All TMs/HMs

This is the best code we’ve found for TMs and HMs out there, however, it’s not without its flaws. When you press select this code will put almost every TM and every HM in your inventory. However, they do end up in your key items pocket.

We haven’t run into any issues with this, but please remember that you’re using these codes at your own risk and you may lose a key item or two if you have too many codes running at the same time.

Wild Pokemon Encounter Cheat Codes

This cheat list is a compilation of codes that affect your encounters with wild pokemon in one way or another.

No Random Encounters

With this code enabled, just press select and you won’t have to worry about running into any wild pokemon as you wander the Unova region.

When you turn this code off, it won’t immediately stop working. You’ll have to save your game, restart it, and then walk a few steps until the ‘repel’ wears off.

Master balls are nice, but if you’re using action replay codes you might as well set your catch rate to 100% so you’re guaranteed to get any pokemon into any ball you like.

Wild Pokemon Encounter Modifier

This code allows you to set your encounters to whatever pokemon you want. Wish you could find a Tepig in the wild? Struggling to find the roaming legendaries? Maybe you’re just looking to catch a very specific team for a playthrough. Whatever the case, this code will get you what you’re looking for.

Now, there is a bit to understand. Not only do you need to press select to turn this code on, but you also need to make sure the XXX in the code below is changed out for a pokemon code.

We’ve listed pokemon codes below for all the Unova pokemon, but you can find any pokemon’s code by simply converting a pokemon’s pokedex number from binary to hexadecimal.

Battle Cheat Codes

The codes in this section allow you to modify certain aspects of your battles throughout your playthrough of Pokemon Black.

Catch Other Trainers’ Pokémon

Did you like Pokemon Colosseum? Well, we’ve got good news. Now you can catch other trainers’ pokémon with ease. You don’t even need to press any special buttons like other cheats. Just input the code, enable it, and start throwing pokeballs at your adversaries’ pokemon.

Miscellaneous Cheat Codes

Walk Through Walls

A classic cheat in pokemon games is the ability to walk through walls. Of course, this extends far beyond walls and, most often, people use this as a way to circumvent entire towns or get to harder-to-access pieces of the game.

Just enable the code and press L and A at the same time and you’ll have access to virtually unlimited movement. Fortunately, this code even allows you to press L and B at the same time to turn it off, which is helpful if you want to avoid running into glitches.

Change Pokemon Nature

This is one of the most useful cheats in our entire list. It doesn’t mess around with too much of the game, but it can certainly save you a lot of time in finding pokemon with the perfect nature. With this code enabled, just look at a pokemon’s summary and then press L or R to cycle through natures until you get the one you want.

Cheat Code:

1223CDB0 0000FFFF

Final Thoughts

Generation V brought us some great games and while remakes may be in the future, the best way to experience them right now is with a bit of modification so you can play exactly how you want to. Use our Pokemon Black Cheats to play the game as a member of team rocket, grab your perfect team from the start, or do whatever you want so this game can really feel like your own.
