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 event]], 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]]. In {{pkmn|Diamond and Pearl}}, a code which has been come to be known as the "walk anywhere code" allows cheaters access to any remote location by simply walking from one map location to another, sometimes passing through the [[Mystery Zone]].

With cheating devices, cheaters can also simply alter the games code to give them many other valuable Pokémon, making the hunt for {{shiny2}} Pokémon and those with optimal [[DVs]] and [[natures]] incredibly easy. This method of gameplay can irritate other players, particularly when they receive blatantly hacked Pokémon at the [[Global Trade Station|GTS]].
