Pokemon Black Cheats

Pokemon Black is part of the fifth generation of the Pokemon video game series. Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, it was first released in 2010. The game introduced over 150 new Pokemon and brought several enhancements to the series. Set in the Unova region, players are tasked with filling their Pokedex by capturing, evolving, and trading Pokemon. The game's primary goal is to become the strongest Pokemon trainer in Unova by defeating the Elite Four and the reigning Champion. Check out the cheats and tips below to get off to a great start in the game. Or Follow this link to head to our Pokemon Black Action Replay codes page.

Unlocking the Legendary Victini

In Pokemon Black, you can get a special Legendary Pokemon called Victini. To unlock Victini, you need to obtain the Mystery Gift (the Liberty Pass) from the 'Main' menu using the Nintendo WiFi connection. The Liberty Pass can be used to catch Victini in the dungeon of the tower at Liberty Garden.

Quickly Level Up Your Pokemon

Want to level up your Pokemon faster? Here's a tip: put two Pokemon in daycare on route 3. Then, go to the battle subway in Nimbasa city and find something to hold down the down button and the B button. Every step you take equals one experience point for your Pokemon. Make sure your DS is plugged in so it won't run out of battery, and leave it on all night. When you return, collect your Pokemon from daycare and see the significant level increase.

If you say 'Everyone Happy' then 'Simple Connection' and save the game, you can use the 'Relocator' option at the 'Main' menu to transfer the Legendary Trio (Raikou, Suicune, and Entei) and Celebi.
  • No Fog on Birthday: Set the system date to your birthday and go to Routes 14 or 15. These routes, which normally have fog, will now be clear, allowing you to view the beautiful scenery.
  • Getting Celebi and the Three Legendary Dogs: To get Celebi and the three dogs on your game, go to Castelia City and talk to a guy in one of the buildings. Answer him with "Everyone Happy" "Simple Connection". This unlocks a feature on the main menu of the game, which will send out a DS download play.
  • Finding Certain Pokemon: You can find a shiny level 75 Raquaza on top ofthe celestial tower, a level 5 Charmander at route 1, and a level 99 shiny Arceus at Nuvema Town.
  • Unlock National Dex: Defeat the Elite Four and then leave your house when the credits have completed. Professor Juniper's father will then upgrade your Pokedex to the National Dex.

Pokemon Storage System

In Pokemon Black, the PC Storage System created by Dr. Fennel's assistant Amanita starts out with 8 Storage Boxes, each of which can hold 30 Pokemon. This gives you a starting total of 240 Pokemon.

Quck way to level up

In the games Pokemon Black and White theres a new way to level Pokemon up quickly. There is a wild Pokemon called an Audino. This Pokemon gives you ton of experience, and can be encountered just about anywhere. Often when you see some patches of grass shaking that means an Audino is there, though other Pokemon do show up in the shaking grass. Now just imagined if you traded over a Pokemon and had it hold a Lucky Egg. You could easily do some speed training and level up your Pokemon quickly. At the start of the game you'll have to settle for just battling Audino. Though thats not so bad considering it can cause your Pokemon to go up a couple of levels.

Pokemon Black and White cannot trade with any of the past DS Pokemon games. In order to get Celebi and the three dogs on your game go to Castelia City. You have to go talk to a guy in one of the buildings there. He'll ask for a phrase, answer him with. "Everyone Happy" "Simple Connection". This unlocks a feature on the main menu of the game.

Pokemon Storage System

The basic PC Storage System that was created by Dr. Fennel's assistant Amanita starts out as a total of 8 Storage Boxes, each of which can hold 30 Pokemon, which gives a starting total of 240 Pokemon. As there are 17 types of Pokemon, and as most Trainers prefer to create a box for each type, properly labeled and with a suitable wallpaper, this makes things a bit awkward.

The trick to expanding the PC Storage System is to place a Pokemon into each of the current 8 boxes, and then exit the PC, and reload it. Once you do that, you now have 16 Storage Boxes that hold a total of 480 Pokemon!

Obviously 16 boxes is not sufficient to create a box for each type, so you will need to place a Pokemon into each of the open 16 boxes, and again quit the PC, and re-open it, and no..

Seeing the affect a nature has on stats

Heres something that might be useful if you want a Pokemon that strong in one stat. In Pokemon Black and White, like in Heart Gold and Soul Silver when you look at your Pokemon's stats, you'll notice that a couple of the stats seem to have a different color. Its a very slight difference and you may be able to see it only under certain light. One stat will be a red color while the other will be a bluish color. If your Pokemon has a neutral nature you won't see this at all. This color difference tells you how your Pokemon nature affects it's stats as it levels up. The red means that stat will grow stronger, while the blue means your Pokemon will not grow as quickly in that stat as it normally would.

The Hidden Power Checker can be found within the Mistralton City Pokemon Center. This is very important to know if you are going to teach your Pokemon Hidden Power.

If you go into the Key Items section of your Bag, you can register multiple key items. All you must do is click on any key item that has a box next to it, and then click on register.

During Gameplay, click the Y Button to see your registered key items. You can click the A Button or the Y Button to use any of those items.

Your also able to register the front or back of your Trainer Card.


Effort Value Girl
