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 {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, 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]]. The "Wild Pokémon Modifier" code is perhaps the most useful cheat, used to make any Pokémon of choice appear in any location (an updated version of the modifier allows the player to set [[level]] and [[nature]]), readily available for capture to build a collection of an unlimited amount of desired Pokémon easily with no negative effects to the save file. The Modifier also makes [[Effort values|EV]]-training much easier. | 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.

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 [[individual values|IVs]] and [[natures]] incredibly easy.
