'''Cheating''' is a frequently used method of playing the [[Pokémon games]]. It can be used to duplicate rare and valuable [[item]]s and to obtain certain [[legendary Pokémon]] which would not be available until a [[Nintendo]] {{pkmn2|event}} otherwise.

Some players will use devices such as [[Action Replay]] to affect the execution of the game and easily obtain things they would otherwise need to work for. With cheating devices, players can simply alter the game's code to give them many other valuable Pokémon, making the hunt for [[shiny Pokémon]] and those with optimal {{IV}}s and [[Nature]]s incredibly easy.

Cheating devices are commonly used to get Pokémon or items which are otherwise only obtainable through a [[Nintendo]] [[List of Nintendo Pokémon promotional events|promotional events]], if at all. Commonly, in [[Generation II]] and {{gen|III}}, this means using the device to gain a special item to catch a Pokémon, such as the [[GS Ball]] or [[Old Sea Map]].

A cheat that may be considered one of the most useful, the "Wild Pokémon Modifier" code is used to make any Pokémon of choice appear in any location, readily available for capture to build a collection of an unlimited amount of desired Pokémon easily with little to no negative effects to the save file. The wild Pokémon modifier code can also be used to make [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] appear in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]], although as the game will attempt to bring up a nonexistent [[Pokédex]] entry upon capture, the game will freeze.

An updated version of the modifier allows the player to set [[level]] and [[Nature]]. The cheat also makes {{EV}}-training much easier, by allowing Pokémon that give those EVs to be readily available.
