Become the ultimate trainer in the Kalos region by using our list of working Pokemon X and Y Cheats!
Pokemon X and Y is the first Pokemon game introduced for the Nintendo 3DS handheld console. The games feature the sixth generation of Pokemon species that inhabit the star-shaped region of Kalos.
The games’ main theme circles around their two legendary Pokemon, Xerneas and Yveltal, which represent life and death, respectively.
Other notable features that made Pokemon X and Y popular are the addition of the Fairy-type, and the Mega Evolution phenomena.
Whether it’s your first time playing these games or you’re just looking for a different playthrough experience, you can significantly raise your chances of winning battles by using cheat codes.
Since there are only a few sources where you can get these cheats for the 3DS, we decided to help the Pokemon community by sharing our own list of Pokemon X and Y cheats.

Pokemon X and Y hints and guides
Earn Money from Battle Chateau
Money is one of those Pokemon X and Y cheats that people will use right away. Head to the Battle Chateau when you have a high rank.
The trainers there will give out money for as low as 1,000 up to 20,000 but again provided that your rank gets higher.
When you do this, make sure you have the Amulet Coin and Prize Money O Power because they will stack, and you can gain more money after each battle.
Earn Money from Lumiose City
The next way is to head to the restaurants in Lumiose City. You can use low-level Pokemon to challenge the trainers because they will use higher-level Pokemon.
If you succeed in the battles, they will reward you with a ton of money. Don’t forget about the Amulet coin and Prize Money O Power as well.
Earn Money by getting Comet Shard
This one is a one-time trick, and this involves you getting the Comet Shard. Find the Old Man in Anistar City and talk to him.
He will then ask you to borrow one of your Pokemon that is Level 5 or lower. Give him any Pokemon, and he’ll start to talk. Leave and come back after a couple of days.
You’ll find out that the Old Man has ed away, and you will see the Poke Ball where your Level 5 or lower Pokemon is, along with a letter giving you the Comet Shard.
Sell the Comet Shard for a great amount of money.
WiFi Healing
You can heal your Pokemon and restore your PP by WiFi battling. What you do is that you try and find a battle on the internet.
When you find a battle, your Pokemon will be healed. What you need to do next is cancel the battle, and you’ll be sent back to the part where you search an enemy.
It won’t be fun for the opponent that you just abandoned the fight but your Pokemon are healed either way.
Steal Unlimited Heart Scales
You can use Heart Scales in the game to teach your Pokemon some moves from the Move Relearner.
Heart Scales can be obtained in a lot of ways but here’s a nice trick to farm them. It would help if you had a Pokemon with the Thief ability.
Head to Route 8 on the Muraille Coast and use the Old Rod. You can encounter Luvdiscs and use the Thief ability on them to steal Heart Scales.
They have a 50% chance to hold a Heart Scale, but if you want a good source, this is a good trick.
Good Source of Unlimited Rare Candy
Rare Candies can be one of those Pokemon X and Y cheats that people will use. You can get Rare Candy by trading it with Poke Miles.
You can get Poke Miles by using the Street or by using the Wonder Trade system. Here’s the trick, if the person you are trading with is far basically from one country to another, you can get more Poke Miles.
What you can do is keep trading with that person until you get a lot of Poke Miles. Rare Candies can be traded by 500 Poke Miles.
If you have the patience and another person to trade with from far away, then you can get a good amount of Rare Candies.
A Nice Place to Hatch Pokemon Eggs
Head to Lumiose City and you’ll notice that the city has a nice shape for your character to run around. Basically, the map allows you to walk around it without being stopped or halted by some obstacles.
You can have something on top of the button to let the character walk without holding it on your own.
A Little Help For Your Pokedex
Completing your Pokedex is hard, but here’s one tip you can do. Go to the place where there are three cafes.
You can pay 100, 1,000, and 5,000 to enter them. Each of these options will allow you to see some Pokemon.
However, the 5,000 option will guarantee to show you one Pokemon that is not in your Pokedex.
Be sure to do this when you’re at the point where you’re completing your Pokedex. That’s because you can only use these services once.
Getting Items During Battle
There are things called Natural Objects in X and Y. Basically; they are the background in a battle screen. Think about a tree or a lump of soil.
Using specific moves can destroy those Natural Objects revealing an item that you can get.
If you want to farm these items, then simply perform a battle and destroy the Natural Objects over and over again.
Below is a list of items, locations, moves, and Natural Objects that you can destroy:
NATURAL OBJECT | LOCATIONS | MOVES | ITEMS |
---|---|---|---|
Blue Tree | Route 17 | Air Cutter Blizzard Twister |
Coba Berry, Oran Berry, ho Berry, Yache Berry |

Put poke ball as the first item in your items and make the amount of pokeballs you have the national id of the pokemon you want for example make the number of your pokeballs 280 for ralts
Next go to route 2 THIS WILL NOT WORK ANYWHERE BUT ROUTE 2
press r and select while walking in the grass and the pokemon you want should appear!
Hope this helps :)))
Reminders When Using Pokemon X and Y Cheats
Some Pokemon X and Y cheats require additional instructions before they can work, so double check every code you used to confirm if you need to press any more buttons on your controller.
Unfortunately, many of the cheat codes for this game don’t work, but we’ll keep updating in case we receive any usable codes in the future.
Are there any cheats or important information that we missed? Feel free to share them in the comments section below.
is there a code to change abilities esp since hidden abilities are hard to get
How to activate the All Medicines cheat
I HAVE A WILD POKÉMON MODIFIER CHEAT!!….
(Cheat codes added above – PokeCoder)
Hi Sophia, thank you for sharing this cheat with the community. I’ve added the cheat code above. Keep those cheats coming.
Is there an EXP multiplier?
The 100% catch rate doesn’t work. Does it need button or something??
any idea how to make it work?
I think I may have figured it out, though I’ve gotten it successfully twice. I’ve been leaving the cheat off, then when I encounter a pokemon I want to catch I turn it on, and then turn it off once I’ve captured the pokemon.
Nice job, Bri! Thanks for sharing your method—it’s great to hear you found a way to get the cheat working consistently. I’m sure this will help others having the same issue. Happy gaming and keep those valuable information coming! 😊
It’s not perfect, but with no cheats active when searching for the pokemon, enabling it and disabling it as soon as it’s caught seems the most consistent. Also it seems to work more when I go into the ball pocket as opposed to using the last used item.
Thanks for sharing this information, Bri. I appreciate it.
hello everyone,
in the summer of 2024 i played pokemon x and i used a cheat code for wild pokemon modifier it was without master ball ultra ball, it was with national number xxx1 for bulbasaur and so on
can anyone helped me with this.
is there a code for Rare Candy?
lol 100 levels works but it doesn’t evolve any further lmao
How to use the 100% catch action replay code?
I’ve tried it and its not working..
Do these codes work on the 3ds?
The majority of us here use emulators to play these games, and cheats work well with emulators.
Speak for yourself. I still play my 3DS.
Yes, these cheats can work on regular 3DS consoles. However, modifying the console’s firmware is required to enable cheat functionality, and to the best of my knowledge, this process carries some risk. It involves technical steps, and we have not covered this topic yet.
Can you find any code that avoid forced player battle
I just want to play without being forced to battle for so many time
Hey, where do I hold down START for the friendship cheat?
Is there a cheat to turn trade evolutions into level or stone evolutions?
Hi there, we’ve never encountered these cheats before. Sorry about that.
Is there a cheat that allows you to use any mega evolutions before post-game? I just want a mega mawile
Sorry, but we haven’t discovered a cheat for Mega Evolution yet. Rest assured, though, we’re actively searching and will update you as soon as we find one!
Is there any way to delete the tms?, because a problem happened, I can’t get the tms from the npc, because my backpack is full of tms, and when an npc offers me a tm I can’t get it.
is there a working shiny code?
We haven’t found a working shiny cheat code for this game yet, but we will do our best to find one, or hopefully, someone will share the cheat with us. I look forward to improvements to this cheat list with the help of the community.
