The Johto region Pokemon games are considered the best in the entire franchise, and rightfully so. They came right after the massive success of Pokemon Red and Blue, these games had to be great, or the massive amounts of fans that GameFreak had acquired through the first two games would’ve started to dwindle instantly!
Luckily Gamefreak stepped up and gave us the best games in the franchise. The Gold and Silver games turned out to be so popular that GameFreak had to create a remake of the game in the form of Heart Gold and Soul Silver. These remakes are what people play when they want to visit the Johto region once again.
Even though these are remakes and take care of the various issues that plagued the original, they still, to the core, are the same Pokemon games, so you’ll have to grind a lot to progress; not only that, you’ll have to fight a lot of random battles on the road.
This can get repetitive after a while, so we decided to create a listicle for the 10 Best Pokemon Heart Gold Cheats Of 2023.
Use these cheats to skip the repetitive parts and also have fun with some cheats like ‘walk through walls.’
Important – Never use too many cheats at once; your game might crash. Make sure you create a save file before activating any cheat on the list.

10. Walk through walls
The Johto region is filled to the brim with places you can’t trespass, places you can’t go for various reasons. With the help of this cheat, you’d be able to surpass the constraints put on you and visit any location like a literal ghost; you can walk through walls like nothing.
But walking through walls comes with downsides. You’re walking off the map to places you shouldn’t be going. Walking through a PokeMart is not the end of the world.
But, when you walk to the literal end of the world, i.e., the edge of the map, things start to get weird, and your save file will get corrupted very easily. So make sure you don’t go too far, and permanently save the game before you go on your adventures.

9. Restore Health
One of the worst parts of being a Pokemon trainer in the Johto region is that you have to travel back to the cities or towns to get your Pokemon healed. As a trainer, you will be making many trips to the Pokemon Centre, and let me tell you this: it isn’t an enjoyable way to play the game.
Using this cheat, you’d be able to restore your Pokemon’s health instantly, so you never have to visit Nurse Joy again.

8. Steal the enemy’s Pokemon
This cheating is outright illegal and raises a lot of ethical issues. With this simple line of code, you get to steal your enemy’s Pokemon; no matter what Pokemon is, it might even be legendary. Simply input this cheat, and when you face off against a trainer whose Pokemon you seem to like, then just throw a Pokeball.
This cheat breaks the rules of the game that have been coded in, so make sure you save the game file before you steal someone’s beloved Pokemon.

7. Unlimited Berries
Berries aren’t the best way to restore your Pokemon’s health or remove some status effect, but if you get an unlimited amount of them for free, why not use them? With this simple cheat, you’d get 900x of each type of Berry in the game in your Pocket, and yes, it says an unlimited amount of berries in the heading, but you can simply reuse the cheat once you run out.
And as there is no cheat to get healing items in the game for Heart Gold so this is the next best thing.

6. Any Shiny Pokemon
Shiny Pokemon is a special Pokemon similar to their non-shiny counterparts, but they have a different color scheme. This subtle change makes a big difference in the appearance of the Pokemon, making them coveted creatures.
But getting a hold of these Pokemon is almost impossible, as you’ll have to spend hours or even days trying to get shiny Pokemon. So if you don’t want to go through that laborious process of shiny hunting, just use this cheat and get that Black Charizard you always wanted with little ot no effort.
Cheat codes:
Make sure you go to where the Pokemon can be found, and when you encounter it, the Pokemon will be in its shiny form. Also, don’t breed the Pokemon caught using this cheat.

5. All Battle Items
Having a perfect Pokemon team isn’t enough to win the Championship; you also need to have the best moveset for every Pokemon in your team and the best items they can hold to maximize your team’s potential. But getting a hold of all the battle items for every Pokemon might be tedious, so use this cheat instead.

4. No Random Battles
We created this listicle because of this issue. Random battles plague the Johto region, and they are needed to keep your Pokemon at a level consistent with the gyms.
But do we have to battle every stranger on the road, and if that wasn’t boring enough, every trainer has the same sprite, and the bug catchers are the worst.
So use this cheat, and say goodbye to every Random battle in the game. This cheat will eliminate the random battles outside, so the random battles happening in side structures will still happen.

3. Catch any Pokemon easily
If finishing the Pokedex in Johto is a goal you’ve set your eyes on, this cheat will be of big help. Do you know how to catch every Pokemon you have to throw a lot of Pokeball first with a chance of them just running away? Yeah, that is almost wiped out by this simple cheat.
Be it a legendary or a simple baby Pokemon, with this cheat, catching Pokemon will be as easy as running a hot knife through butter.

2. Unlimited Money
People say money can’t buy happiness; obviously, they haven’t had an unlimited supply of money before to know what it feels like. With this cheat, you’d be the wealthiest 10-year-old in Johto, buying any item and quantity of that item. Having unlimited money just makes the game easy but not easy enough to make it boring. I hope someone finds a cheat like this for this game called life.

1. Unlimited Rare Candies
If you’re using a lot of cheats given above, especially the one where you skip every random battle in the game, you will need a way to level up your Pokemon. And you can do this easily with the help of rare candies.
With this cheat, you’ll get an infinite amount of rare candies. Well, you won’t be needing an infinite amount; you only 6 Pokemon on your team.
