The journey across Johto is still one many like to replay over and over. Sure, the aim of catching all the Pokémon in the land very much acts as the end goal - however, there is also the threat of Team Rocket, and even a wicked rival that goes to great lengths to stop you.

Not to mention the opportunity to revisit Kanto years after its appearance in Pokémon Blue, Red and Yellow.

If you're now looking to rip the rulebook up, there are plenty of cheats available to do so - if you know the right codes and have access to the right technology.

Whether it's getting your hands on every Poké Ball, unlocking hundreds of Rare Candies or even looking to walk through walls, there's a cheat to suit all needs.

With that, we've rounded up the full list of codes to take advantage of your adventure across Johto. Head below for the full list and how to use them.

How to cheat in Pokémon SoulSilver explained

Cheats are enabled in Pokémon SoulSilver by using a third-party device like GameShark or Action Replay.

These can be purchased separately online. By doing so, you can then enter codes that will grant whatever cheat you'd like to access.

Some users have noted that they have experienced game freezes or save corruption as a result of these devices, so you've been warned.
