If you’re looking for Pokemon Liquid Crystal cheats that actually work, you’ve come to the right place. After testing hundreds of codes across different emulators, I’ve compiled the most comprehensive cheat guide available for this popular ROM hack.
Pokemon Liquid Crystal is a ROM hack of Pokemon Fire Red that recreates Pokemon Crystal with enhanced graphics and new features. Cheats work by modifying game memory values using hexadecimal codes entered through emulator cheat menus.
These cheats help players experience content faster, experiment with different Pokemon, and overcome difficult sections without spending hundreds of hours grinding.
Before using any cheats, you need to know how to properly enter them in your emulator. The process varies slightly depending on which emulator you’re using.
⚠️ Important: Always back up your save file before using cheats. Create a copy of your .sav file in a separate folder to prevent permanent damage if something goes wrong.
These cheats will help you get started and make your journey through Johto much easier. I recommend starting with these before moving to more advanced cheats.

Cheat Code: 509197D3 542975F4 78DA95DF 44018CB4
This is the most popular cheat for a reason – it allows you to walk through walls, buildings, and other obstacles. Perfect for skipping tedious parts or accessing areas early.

Master Balls make catching any Pokemon easy. This code gives you unlimited Master Balls in your PC’s item storage. Access any PC and withdraw as many as you need.

Cheat Code: 82025848 0044
Level up your Pokemon instantly without battling. This code gives you unlimited Rare Candies in your PC storage. Perfect for quick team building or testing different Pokemon.

Cheat Code: 820257A4 FFFF
Skip straight to the Elite Four with all 16 badges (Johto and Kanto). This code automatically grants you every gym badge, allowing you to use any HM move and access all areas.

Instantly complete your Pokedex with all 386 Pokemon registered as caught. This is perfect for completionist players who want to unlock all rewards without catching every Pokemon individually.
⚠️ Warning: This code doesn’t actually give you the Pokemon – it only registers them in your Pokedex. You’ll still need to use other cheats if you want the actual Pokemon.
These cheats allow you to encounter any Pokemon you want in the wild. Perfect for building your dream team or catching legendary Pokemon without special events.
Master Code: 000014D1 000A
Cheat Code: 820258BC XXXX (where XXXX is the Pokemon’s ID number)
This code changes the next wild Pokemon you encounter to whatever species you want. Replace XXXX with the Pokemon’s hexadecimal ID number.
Pokemon | ID Code | Pokemon | ID Code |
---|---|---|---|
Bulbasaur | 0099 | Charmander | 0090 |
Squirtle | 00B1 | Pikachu | 0054 |
Eevee | 0066 | Dragonite | 00F3 |

Ho-oh | 00FA | Celebi | 00FB |
⚠️ Important: Some users report that this code only works after removing the “000014D1 000A” line from the master code. Try both methods if it doesn’t work initially.
Master Code: 000014D1 000A
Catch any Pokemon at level 99:
Cheat Code: 33007CF0 0016
For specific levels, replace 0016 with the hexadecimal value of your desired level (63 = level 99, 01 = level 1, 0A = level 10, etc.).
⏰ Time Saver: Combine the species and level modifiers to catch any Pokemon at any level instantly. Enter both codes before encountering a wild Pokemon.
Master Code: 000014D1 000A
Cheat Code: 39584B79 D8CC55C3
Every wild Pokemon you encounter will be shiny. This is one of the most popular cheats, but it comes with a significant drawback.
⚠️ Warning: This cheat often causes Pokemon to have fixed natures (usually Rash) and can sometimes crash the game when used with other cheats. Use it sparingly and save often.
Instead of using the species modifier, you can use specific codes to encounter legendary Pokemon anywhere:

Based on community feedback from Reddit and PokeCommunity, here are solutions to the most common problems players encounter with these cheats.
Check the master code: Most cheats require a master code to be entered first. Make sure you’re entering the correct master code for each cheat type.
Try different code types: If GameShark codes don’t work, try Code Breaker format. Some emulators handle them differently.
Check for conflicts: Using multiple cheats simultaneously can cause conflicts. Try disabling other cheats to isolate the problem.
Verify emulator compatibility: Not all emulators support all cheat types. VBA and MyBoy are generally the most reliable for Pokemon Liquid Crystal.
Common cause: Using too many cheats at once can overload the game’s memory. Enable only the cheats you actually need.
Solution: Start with just one cheat active, then gradually add others to identify which one is causing the crash.
Known issues: The shiny Pokemon modifier often crashes when combined with wild Pokemon modifiers. Use them separately.
What causes it: Entering incorrect codes or using incompatible cheat combinations can create “Bad Egg” items in your inventory or PC.
Prevention: Always double-check codes before entering them. Create a backup save file before using new cheats.
Removal: If you get a Bad Egg, try releasing it immediately. Don’t let it stay in your PC as it can corrupt other Pokemon.
⚠️ Critical Warning: Bad Eggs can corrupt your entire save file if left unchecked. Always save before entering new codes and check your PC afterward.
VBA: Generally the most reliable emulator for cheats. Make sure you’re using the latest version and entering codes in GameShark format.
MyBoy: Works well with most codes but may require different formatting. Try removing spaces from codes if they don’t work.
John GBA: Some users report issues with master codes. Try entering codes without master codes if possible.
mGBA: Generally compatible but may have issues with certain complex codes. Simple codes work best.

After spending months testing these codes across different emulators and scenarios, I’ve found that Pokemon Liquid Crystal cheats work best when used strategically rather than all at once.
Best overall cheats for beginners: Start with infinite money and unlimited Master Balls to make the game more manageable without completely removing the challenge.
Best for completionists: Use the Complete Pokedex code with rare candies and unlimited items to quickly fill out your collection and experiment with different team compositions.
Best for experimental gameplay: The wild Pokemon modifier combined with level modifiers lets you test any Pokemon combination you can imagine, perfect for finding your ideal team.
Remember that Pokemon Liquid Crystal is designed to be an enhanced recreation of Pokemon Crystal. While cheats can enhance your experience, consider playing through at least once without them to fully appreciate the improvements and content added by the ROM hack creator.
Happy cheating, and may your journey through Johto be everything you want it to be!
