Pokemon FireRed Rocket Edition Cheats

Playing as a Team Rocket grunt instead of the usual hero is most of the appeal of Pokemon FireRed Rocket Edition (ColonelSalt’s completed v1.0.2 release), but grinding through Kanto from the villain’s side is still grinding. These Pokemon FireRed Rocket Edition Cheats cover Rare Candy, Master Ball, unlimited money, wild Pokémon swaps, and the other codes players ask about most — along with an honest note on how well-confirmed each one actually is, since not everything below has been verified specifically for this hack.

A quick note before you copy anything: there are a few different “Rocket Edition”-style hacks floating around (Pokemon Apollo and Team Rocket Edition: Dragonsden are separate projects with their own code sets), so if a code below doesn’t do anything, double-check you’re actually playing this specific hack and not a lookalike. It’s also worth knowing this hack doesn’t include an in-game Pokédex, so there’s no “unlock the Pokédex” cheat to look for — you’ll just have to keep track of what you’ve caught yourself.

Quick Cheats List

These are the codes people come here for first. Full instructions and a couple of alternate codes are further down if one of these doesn’t behave.

How to Enter Cheats in Rocket Edition

Rocket Edition runs on the same GBA cheat systems as regular FireRed: Action Replay/GameShark and Code Breaker. The type matters — enter a GameShark code as Code Breaker and it will usually sit there doing nothing.

On MyBoy! (Android)

1. Load the Rocket Edition ROM, then tap the menu icon and go to Cheats.
2. Tap the + button, name the cheat whatever you like, and paste the code.
3. Pick the correct type (or leave it on Auto-Detect, which usually sorts it out) and save.
4. On the free version of MyBoy!, multi-line codes sometimes need each line entered as its own separate cheat rather than pasted together.

On VBA-M (Windows)

1. Open the Cheats menu, then Cheat List.
2. Choose GameShark or CodeBreaker depending on the code, give it a description, and paste it in.
3. Confirm the checkbox next to the new cheat is ticked — adding a code doesn’t turn it on by itself.

On mGBA (PC / Mac)

1. Go to Tools → Cheats and click Add GameShark (or the matching type).
2. Paste the code, label it, and tick the box to enable it.

Rare Candy Cheat

Rocket Edition still has the usual FireRed grind curve, and this is the code that skips most of it. Turn it on, head to any Pokémon Center PC, and pull Rare Candies straight out of item storage. This is the same item-PC address used across most FireRed v1.0-based hacks rather than something built specifically for Rocket Edition, so treat it as a base-game code rather than one that’s been individually confirmed for this hack.

Code Type: Code Breaker

82025840 0044

If nothing shows up the first time, try toggling the cheat off and back on, then re-entering the PC — some players who reported it doing nothing at first have had that work.

Master Ball Cheat

Uses the exact same address as Rare Candy above, just with a different item ID — handy for legendaries or anything you don’t want to risk losing to a bad catch roll.

Code Type: Code Breaker

82025840 0001

Withdraw from the item PC, same as above, and don’t leave it running — it can start overwriting other items sitting in storage if it’s left active too long.

Unlimited Money Cheat

This one needs its master code entered as a separate cheat first, then the money code on top of it. Since your Trainer Card doesn’t show cash directly, the easiest way to confirm it worked is to walk into a Poké Mart and check what you can afford. The master code below is the standard one used across FireRed v1.0 hacks generally, but the money value code itself appears to be specific to Rocket Edition — it’s currently only confirmed on one cheat-code source, so treat it as reported-working rather than guaranteed.

Code Type: Action Replay/GameShark — master code required

Master Code:
3AF85ACA C4D18CEC
8E883EFF 92E9660D

Money Code:
29C78059 96542194

Walk Through Walls Cheat

Same classic GBA staple as always — lets you cut through trees, walls, and other obstacles you’d normally need an HM or a key item for. It’s the identical code we list on our Radical Red Cheats page too, which is a good sign it’s a shared FireRed-engine address rather than something Rocket Edition-specific.

Code Type: Action Replay/GameShark

509197D3 542975F4
78DA95DF 44018CB4

100% Catch Rate Cheat

Whatever Poké Ball you throw connects. Useful if you’re farming a specific wild Pokémon and don’t want to burn through your bag doing it. This one, along with No Wild Encounters and One-Hit KO below, comes from a single Rocket Edition-focused source rather than something independently cross-checked — reported working, not guaranteed.

Code Type: Action Replay/GameShark

87ACF659 707466DC
8BB602F7 8CEB681A

No Wild Encounters Cheat

Turns off random grass battles entirely, which is mostly useful for getting through an area fast without fighting your way across it.

Code Type: Action Replay/GameShark

D41DD0CA 33A629E5
8E883EFF 92E9660D

One-Hit KO Cheat

Any damaging move ends the fight instantly. Convenient for clearing trash battles, though a few players have reported it not landing on certain bulkier or boss-tier Pokémon.

Code Type: Action Replay/GameShark

95EDFBBA A5A72A78
C833D1A0 02FA7205

Shiny Wild Pokémon Cheat

Forces the next wild encounter to be shiny. Status: Uncertain / Mixed Reports. Some players get a clean shiny with no issues; others have ended up with a species mismatch, a max level, or in rarer cases a bad egg. There’s no reliable pattern for which outcome you’ll get, so treat this one as a gamble rather than a guaranteed shiny.

Code Type: Action Replay/GameShark

39584B19 D80CC66A
CE71B3D3 1F6A85FB
198DF179 5413C867
73ECB8A0 BDD8B251
D5AFFB37 6855972C
73ECB8A0 BDD8B251

Wild Pokémon Modifier Cheat

Changes which species shows up in your next encounter. This needs a master code active first, then the modifier code with a species ID swapped in. This one’s reported-working from a single Rocket Edition-focused source rather than independently cross-confirmed, so double-check your master code is entered correctly before assuming a bad result means the code is wrong.

Code Type: Code Breaker — master code required

Master Code:
000014D1 000A
1003DAE6 0007

Modifier Code:
83007CEE + Pokémon ID

A handful of starter IDs to get you going — the numbering follows the standard Kanto Pokédex order:

That’s only a starting handful — the full list runs through every Gen 1–3 Pokémon available in the hack. If you need one that isn’t listed here, the Wild Pokémon Modifier guide on our Radical Red Cheats page uses the same numbering system and covers more of the list.

Legendary Pokémon Cheat

Same master code as the wild modifier above, just paired with a legendary’s ID instead — same reported-working status applies here too.

Code Type: Code Breaker — uses the same master code as the Wild Pokémon Modifier above

Unlimited PP Cheat

Your moves never run dry. Mostly worth turning on for a boss fight or a long grinding session rather than leaving on permanently. Reported working from the same single source as the codes above it, without independent confirmation elsewhere.

Code Type: Code Breaker

42023C08 6363
00000002 0002

Max Stats Cheat

Maxes out the stats of whichever party slot the code targets. Like the other Code Breaker items on this page, it’s reported working rather than independently verified. Heads up: since your Pokémon can still gain EXP normally, leveling up while this is active tends to overflow the stats and cause glitches — treat it as a one-time boost, not something to leave running.

Code Type: Code Breaker

Item & Healing Cheats

One address pattern covers most items in the game — swap in the ID for whatever you’re after, then withdraw it from the item PC. It’s the same 82025840 address as the Rare Candy and Master Ball codes above, so it’s another one that looks like a shared base FireRed address rather than something built for this hack specifically.

Code Type: Code Breaker

82025840 + Item ID

For a Lucky Egg specifically, there’s also a dedicated code that skips the PC step entirely: enter 82003884 00C5, then buy the first item in any Poké Mart’s list — it’ll have swapped into a Lucky Egg.

Cheats Not Working? Here’s How to Fix It

A lot of reported problems with these codes trace back to a handful of repeat issues rather than a bad code. Here’s what tends to actually be going on.

Nothing happens when I turn the cheat on

Double-check the checkbox next to the cheat is actually ticked in your emulator’s list — adding a code and enabling it are two separate steps. If it’s enabled and still nothing happens, try leaving the area and re-entering, then check again. Some players report that this helps, but it isn’t a guaranteed fix.

The master code says “invalid”

This shows up more often on mGBA and some John GBA builds than on MyBoy! or VBA. If it keeps rejecting the code, try switching the cheat type from GameShark to Action Replay (they’re functionally the same on most emulators) or vice versa.

My items or PC storage look glitched

This can happen when an item or berry code is left running too long, or when more than one item cheat is stacked at once. Turn everything off, save from the in-game menu (not a quick-save), close and reopen the emulator, then re-enable one cheat at a time.

The shiny or wild modifier cheat gave me a weird result

One common cause of a Pokémon showing up with the wrong level, a garbled name, or a “?” icon is combining the Nature, Level, and Wild Pokémon modifiers in the same encounter. Keep one open slot in your party when stacking these, and if a Pokémon does come out wrong, don’t save — reload instead.

Everything worked before, now nothing does

A few different scenarios can cause this. If you were on an older beta rather than the v1.0.2 final release, some codes may point at addresses that don’t match. If you’ve switched to a different build or fork of the hack, the same applies. And if this only started happening after downloading the game again from a new source, double-check it’s still Pokemon FireRed Rocket Edition by ColonelSalt and not a similarly-named Rocket-themed hack that got mixed up along the way.

None of these codes do anything at all

Before anything else, confirm you’re actually on Pokemon FireRed Rocket Edition by ColonelSalt and not a similarly-named hack. Cheat requests for this game have gone to the wrong page before simply because of how close the names are — check your title screen or options menu if you’re not sure.

Final Thoughts

Keep a backup save and run one cheat at a time. If a code doesn’t behave as expected — especially the shiny or wild modifier codes — check the cheat type, emulator, and game version before assuming the code itself is broken.

If you’re just getting started with the hack itself, the main Rocket Edition guide is the place to go before any of this.
