Cheat Codes for Pokemon Soul Silver (2026): Action Replay Codes That Work

The cheat code for Pokemon Soul Silver that people search for most is Rare Candy, and it is generous: it hands you 900 Rare Candies in one go. Enable it, press L + R, and you can max out a full team in a single sitting.

Right behind it are infinite cash, walk through walls, and the modifier that pulls any species out of the grass at any level you choose. These are Action Replay DS codes for the English (USA) release, and the emulator you pick decides whether half of them fire at all.

The shiny encounter code is long enough to need its own box:

Shiny wild Pokemon
621D1584 00000000 0206DEFC 47004800 0206DF00 02000001 E2000000 0000003C 6800480D 490B6840 88011808 9C0D8842 40510C24 20074061 04244041 940D430C 21001C28 F06EAA0D 4801FEA3 46C04700 0206DF05 000000DC 021D1584 00000000 D2000000 00000000

Warning on the shiny code: do not breed the shiny Pokemon it produces. Cheated shiny data behaves oddly in the breeding routines, and the offspring are the most likely to be rejected by later games.

Catch any Pokemon, at any level

Two codes do the heavy lifting, and both share the same first line.

Wild Pokemon modifier

52246C94 28038800 12247D8A 00004801 02247D8C E0021C39 02247D90 00000YYY D2000000 00000000

Replace YYY with the National Dex number in hexadecimal, padded to three digits.

Pokemon	Dex no.	YYY value
Chikorita	152	098
Cyndaquil	155	09B
Totodile	158	09E
Dratini	147	093
Mewtwo	150	096
Lugia	249	0F9
Ho-Oh	250	0FA
Celebi	251	0FB
Garchomp	445	1BD

Level modifier

52246C94 28038800 12247BEC 000020XX D2000000 00000000

Replace XX with the level in hex: 05 for level 5, 32 for level 50, 64 for level 100.

Run both and you get exactly the Pokemon you want, at exactly the level you want. Convert any Dex number using Bulbapedia and your phone calculator's programmer mode.

How to add these codes on Android and PC

DraStic (Android)

1. Load SoulSilver and reach the overworld
2. Menu → Cheats → Cheat Code Manager
3. Tap + → choose Action Replay
4. Name it, paste every line of the code in order, tap OK
5. Tick the cheat, return to the game, press the button combo

DeSmuME (PC, Mac, Linux)

DeSmuME is the most dependable option for SoulSilver cheats. Use Tools → Cheats → List → Add, pick the Action Replay type, and paste.

The emulator note that saves hours

Players regularly report these exact codes misfiring in No$GBA and in melonDS. If a code you typed perfectly refuses to work, switch emulator before you go hunting for a different code. DeSmuME on desktop and DraStic on Android are the reliable pair. Almost no other cheat list mentions this, and it is the single most common reason people give up.

Which SoulSilver cheats are safe?

Cheat	Risk	Why
Rare Candies, infinite cash	Low	Writes a value on a button press. Easy to toggle off.
No random battles	Low	Contained, and easy to reverse.
Level modifier	Medium	Set it before you enter grass, never mid-battle.
Wild Pokemon modifier	Medium	Do not stack it with the no-encounter code — they cancel out and can freeze the encounter routine.
Shiny encounters	Medium	Fine to use, risky to breed from.
Walk through walls	High	Leaving the map can trap your character or corrupt the save.

What actually breaks SoulSilver saves

• Saving with a cheat enabled. The modified value gets baked into the save permanently. Turn codes off, take a step, then save.
• Walk through walls near map edges. Use it to slip past one obstacle, then release L.
• Breeding cheated shinies. The fastest way to produce a Pokemon that later games reject.
• Stacking modifiers. Wild modifier plus no-encounter is the classic freeze.
• Wrong region ROM. These addresses are for the USA release.

Back up your .dsv save file before you enable anything. One copy-paste, and every mistake becomes undoable.

One thing cheats cannot give you back

SoulSilver shipped with the Pokewalker, a small pedometer you clipped to your belt to level up a Pokemon by walking. It talked to the cartridge over infrared.

Emulators cannot replicate that hardware link, so Pokewalker-exclusive moves and encounters are effectively out of reach on a ROM. No Action Replay code recreates the device. The closest workaround is the wild Pokemon modifier for the species you were chasing — or a save editor like PKHeX, which edits the save file directly and can give a Pokemon a specific move set without any code running in memory.

How we checked these codes

Every code here was compared across multiple independent Action Replay databases, and only exact matches made the list. Where sources disagreed on a string, we left it out rather than publish a coin flip.

We label the button press on every code, because the top cause of a "broken" cheat is a player waiting for something to happen without holding L + R. And we tell you which emulators the codes misbehave in, which most ranking lists never mention at all.

Straightforwardly: Action Replay codes are an emulator and cheat-cartridge feature, not something Nintendo supports. Dump ROMs from cartridges you own.

Bottom line

Start with the 900 Rare Candies code and infinite cash. Add the wild Pokemon and level modifiers when you want a specific team. Keep walk-through-walls for emergencies, never save with a code running, and use DeSmuME or DraStic rather than fighting with melonDS.

Next step: copy your save file somewhere safe, add one code, and test it before adding another. When you are done here, grab the rest — Pokemon Black 2 cheat codes, Pokemon Crystal cheat codes and Leaf Green cheat codes. Or try something new from our list of the best Pokemon fan games.
