How to Use Pokemon HeartGold Cheats
If using the original game and Action Replay device you'll need to enter the cheats that you find on our website using the Code Manager. We have a video showing how this is done here: Entering Action Replay Codes.
You can also use there Heart Gold cheats if you are using an emulator, again it's a really simple process, just find the code you want on our site and copy and paste it into the cheat menu of your emulator when you are playing Heart Gold.
Things to be aware of when using cheats
Cheats can disrupt your game, if you don't enter them correctly, or if you use a code which is not compatible with your version of the game, then it may glitch out and become unusable. We advise to always save your game before your activate a cheat code in Heart Gold, or any game.
Don't save your game with a cheat activated, and only save your game once you are sure that the cheat you have entered has worked the way you intended it to.
It's best to only activate one or two cheats at a time. The more you have activated at once, the greater the chance of the game glitching.
Best Pokemon Heart Gold Cheats
We have over 300 different Action Replay cheats for Heart Gold, you can find them all by scrolling down, there are loads of different ones that you won't find anywhere else as we are lucky enough to have our site visitors create codes for us and send them in to share with other players since the game was launched in 2009.
Because we have so many, we thought it would be a great idea to hand pick some of the best and most useful Heart Gold Cheats, and here they are:
Wild Pokemon Modifier
This code will allow you to decide which Pokemon you will encounter next in the wild. So if you are having trouble finding a particular Pokemon then summon it with this code and catch it.
Wild Legendary Pokemon Modifier
While the code above also includes legendaries, this is a really interesting alternate code added in 2020 from a site member, it will allow you to summon the legendaries in the game by entering just a couple of codes based on region. You can read all about it, and give this new cheat code a try by following the above link.
Capture Trainer Pokemon
You can use this code to capture the Pokemon of a trainer that you encounter.
Rare Candy Cheat
Level up your Pokemon with these rare candies.
Get Master Balls
Not just master balls, but all Pokeballs and 900 of each one with this cheat.

Get Pokerus
Infect your team with Pokerus using this code. For those of you who dont know, the Pokerus virus is a virus that raises all of your infected pokemon's stats. Despite the word "virus", the Pokerus virus can be and is only beneficial. It doesn't alter a pokemon's appearance at all. Once a pokemon catches the Pokerus virus, it is always infected, and it carries out through evolutions.
Soul Silver Groudon Cheat
This code should help activcate the Rayquaza Event. Also, check through the comments on that page to read about other options such as getting a Red Orb as alternative way to get this Groudon.
