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!
