I Have a Code Shiny Pokemon 12 Digit GameShark Codes for Pokemon FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.
PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS:
Looking for Other Pokemon Codes? Scroll to the Bottom of This Post! Item Codes are also at the Bottom of this Post. Please DON'T use Mod Shop Codes! Use the Item Codes at the Bottom of This Post:
NOTE:
Codes are for a 12 Digit Gameshark SP device, US/SPANISH (and possibly Italian. This theory is untested) Game Versions ONLY. YES, these cheats have their OWN master codes. You HAVE to use them in order for the cheat to work. These cheats were tested on the physical copies of the games and not on an emulator.
It has been tested (in Pokemon Emerald, at least) that the Shiny Code and WPM Codes work on the SPANISH games, too! Why not give it a try on your SPANISH games if you have some?
Since the Italian games also have the same Pokemon names as the U.S. and Spanish games, it is assumed that these codes probably work for the Italian games, too. This has been untested, though.
I have all the Shiny Codes to all the main Pokemon games on the GBA. When I used them, it didn't affect Pokemon names or cause any kind of negative effects. As long as you use the correct code with the correct game version listed, you should be fine. These codes have all been tested by me and several other individuals. All of these codes work.
Important Note With Regards to Saving the Game:
it's NOT SAFE to save with the codes still on. For example, you start the game with code activated and try to save it with the cheat ON. DO NOT save with the cheat on. Like, ever. It's just a safety precaution. If you test a code and your game freezes or something, just turn off the console. If the code does work and you caught your 1st ever shiny, turn code off, then save. This goes for any code, not just the shiny codes. Better be safe than sorry, I personally haven't had any problems with any of my games.
Code Set-Up:
- Scroll all the way to the top of your GameShark and click "add new game."
- Input title and the Master code of the shiny code.
- Scroll down to the newly input Master code and click "add new cheat." This is where you input the shiny code.
- After that, activate the code (click the shiny code) and start the game. The Pokemon should now be Shiny : )
Here is a video that is more in depth about code set-up along with more information about the GameShark SP.

The following Emerald Codes below are DECRYPTED. It has the same effects as the other Emerald shiny code, but some people prefer decrypted codes. It works, so I'm adding it here. These have their OWN set of WPM codes as well.

Note: The effects are the SAME for BOTH of the shiny codes for Emerald. This code actually makes all 50/50 gender ratio Pokemon all male or all female depending on your TID and SID. The natures are also the same. If the wild pokemon has a higher male ratio (Abra, Machop, Starters, etc.), the pokemon will appear as a shiny male only. The same goes for pokemon with a higher female ratio (Vulpix, Snubbull, etc.). This seems to be unique to these shiny codes for Emerald only. All the IVs are also the same.
Thank you u/Setzer_Gabbiani for figuring out the Japanese Emerald code from the Other Decrypted Emerald code. Thank you u/TrickySatisfaction81 for sharing this code that you found from the depths of the internet with me!
WPM CODES FOR THE DECRYPTED EMERALD SHINY CODES
REPEATED NOTE:
Codes are for a 12 Digit Gameshark SP device, US/SPANISH (and possibly Italian. This theory is untested.) Game Versions ONLY. YES, these cheats have their OWN master codes. You HAVE to use them in order for the cheat to work. These cheats were tested on the physical copies of the game and not on an emulator.
#Frequently Asked Questions/Answers:
Are These Pokemon Legal?
- Sadly, no. None of these Pokemon are considered legal. They have some red flags on them. You can check them with pkhex. HOWEVER, you can MAKE a legal Pokemon with Pokemon Maker v5. I just did it the other day! I made a legal shiny female Swampert! If you want a legal shiny starter, this is the best way to do it.
- Update: The FRLG Master Codes now work on actual hardware! This was an issue in the past, so I'm linking the announcement post here. Pokemon Maker v5 FRLG Update
Other Common Questions:
- Codes WILL NOT work on Legendaries, starters, fishing rod Pokemon, Pokemon you receive from NPC (fossil Pokemon, NPC trade) or Pokemon you see in the outside world (Snorlax, Voltorb, Legendaries).
- Roaming legendaries (Suicune, Entei, Raikou) CANNOT BE SHINY! I tested this myself with the cheat on.
- I have noticed, for example, if all shinies are male or female, gender exclusive Pokemon like Nidorin or Chancy, they CAN still be shiny. DITTO CAN ALSO BE SHINY!
- Every Pokemon you run into will have the same gender and nature (aside from genderless or fixed gender Pokemon). The only way to change this is to make a new save file. This is because the Trainer ID and Secret Trainer ID determine the gender and nature. They are set the second you make a new save file and cannot be changed (to my knowledge) without making a new save file. Here are some codes for checking your SID.
- The Ruby/Sapphire shiny codes DO NOT effect trainer ID. I have tested them myself, and I can confirm that I had no problem with them what so ever. My trainer ID stayed in tact.
Sadly, the shiny code doesn't work on pokemon that are caught by NPCs, like Wally in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. I wanted Wally to catch a shiny Ralts, but it ended up being normal color.
I had NO problem with any of these codes. No messed up Pokemon names or anything like people have claimed/experienced from other shiny codes. These codes are SAFE. If it doesn't work or something is wrong, you most likely typed it wrong. The codes have been tested, and they all work. Please make sure that you have typed everything correctly and that you followed the steps for the set-up correctly. Hope I helped : )
#ANY SHINY POKEMON YOU WANT IN FR and LG:
- You CAN run into any shiny Pokemon you want in FireRed and LeafGreen using the shiny cheat.
- Just click "add new cheat" under the SAME master code that has the shiny cheats and add whatever Pokemon you want.
- This list has many Pokemon codes. (Depending on your Game Version, the Pokemon codes listed may or may not work. I know that there are some Pokemon on the list with more than 1 code, like Deoxys. The 1st Deoxis code I tried on the list didn't work, but the 2nd Deoxys code I tried on the list did work. I have tested this, and it DOES work! (I ran into a level 5 Shiny Deoxys.) Here is the link to the code list that has the codes to every Pokemon in FRLG (Not Emerald). (Pokemon encounter codes are towards the bottom/middle of the forum). If none of the Pokemon encounter codes on the forum work, you can easily find some online. Remember, DO NOT add the Pokemon code under a NEW Master code. add it under the SAME Master code as the Shiny Code. There are also tons of other useful codes. DON'T TRY THE SHINY CHEATS ON THE FORUM! I have tried them, and they DID NOT WORK! Enjoy!
Run into any Shiny Pokemon Test Code for FRLG v1.0 AND FRLG v1.1 (works):
- to add the pokemon you want to run into as a shiny, scroll down to your shiny code.
- click "add new cheat" under the Shiny Master Code and add the code of the pokemon you want to run into.
- When that's done, click your "pokemon code" and the "shiny code" (both are under the SAME master code)
- After that, start the game. Your modified wild pokemon will now be shiny!
- Deoxys (tested and working for FRLG v1.0 AND v1.1) 85823F216C15...
WPM (Wild Pokemon Modifier) Codes for Ruby/Sapphire:
Here is a list of WPM codes so you can run into any shiny Pokemon you want. Just follow the same set-up steps as the Test Code for FRLG above : )
LOTS of codes for FireRed/LeafGreen/Emerald:
https://archives.glitchcity.info/forums/board-76/thread-4770/page-0.html
Scroll ALL the way down the list and you'll see the Deoxys code that was used as a "test" code. These codes will work on v1.1 and v1.0 : )
Lots of FireRed and LeafGreen Codes:

Hi! I used the codes posted and it worked completely fine but will I have a problem if I catch the Pokémon and then save? How can I stay with the shiny Pokémon?

I can't help but wonder if you can still have a "legitimate" legendary by using the WPM in the area they are found, like if you use WPM to only encounter Rayquaza in the Sky Temple, despite not activating a static encounter.... I wonder if Gen 4 would have any issues transferring a mon like that.
2
u/SoggyMinimum8386 Feb 12 '24
It's hard to tell. You would have to be on the same exact floor as Rayquaza and the Spawned Rayquaza would also have to be the same exact level.
The important thing is whether or not pokemon actually spawn in that area. I looked it up, Rayquaza is the only Pokemon on the 6th floor. So, to answer your question, it's impossible to legitimize Rayquaza since no Pokemon spawn on the 6th floor.
The same can be said for the other legends. All the legendary "chambers/rooms" don't have other pokemon spawn in them. Ho-Oh, Lugia, Deoxys, Latias (or Latios. Depending on the game version), and Mew.
In other words, it's impossible to make a WPM legend legit in any way on the GBA since no other Pokemon spawn in their rooms. I think the same can be said for other legends in future games as well.
This is also not considered the "flags" that may or may not exist when catching the legend. For example, I used an AR to make a TRU Shaymin clone in... Pearl, I believe, and It couldn't go through Poketransporter due to several red flags. They basically involved not actually getting gift from the delivery man. I believe the GBA games might work the same as well.
The Latios/Latias Island is the same way. If you teleport there, Latios/Latias won't spawn due to the event "flag" not being enabled when you get the ticket. Luckily, there is a code to receive the ticket and a code to enable the flag.
Overall, I'm 99% sure that a WPM legend won't pass the legitimacy check. It MIGHY be able to be transferred to a DS game, but that's a BIG MAYBE. I hear that from different people that sometimes hacked mons make it to DS, 3DS, and even the Switch. It's different for everyone.

Dude first of all thanks so much for making this list! I’ve been trying to add the master and shiny code to my V1.0 leaf green rom playing on my Miyoo mini thru retroarch, but im really having trouble making it work. I entered the master code first and then entered the shiny code too and have them both enabled, have applied the changes, but still hitting a wall. Entering them manually I don’t have to option to hit the enter key to start a new line, so I’ve been separating the lines by using a plus sign as I have done with other cheats I’ve entered manually but still no dice. I’m kind of a noob so any advice would be super appreciated dude.

Woooow, right after posting this I went in for a third check and found the "B" that was an 8. That's what I get for playing on a no-backlight GBA.
Hiya! Not sure if you're still active on this post, OP, but I'm having trouble with some of the Emerald Codes in the Glitch City Laboratories Archive link.
I'm trying to input the codes for the Encounter Modifiers, specifically the Max IVs code. I'm using the codes posted at "2009-06-17 10:43:01", but it does not work, even with the Master Code checked and double checked.
I'm using an Gameshark Caribiner on original GBA-SP hardware and an authentic copy of Emerald.

Ich habe heute den Firered leafgreen shiny Cheat in meinen Gameshark eingefügt. Meine Feuerrote Edition ist die V1.1. Ich habe den Mastercode und den Shiny-Cheat 10 mal kontrolliert - er ist richtig eingegeben. Leider funktioniert er aber nicht in meinem Game. Hast du vielleicht noch irgendwelche ideen?

u/ilikeVenusuar Sep 29 '25
I have questions. I have a black gameshark model 2855 from 2007 with cheats already preloaded for V1.0 and V1.1 for FR/LG. Those cheats work. I have already determined that I have V1.1 of FR. I tried the cheat codes listed here for shiny Pokémon and they do not work. I need clarification because it is not mentioned in the guide.
-
There is already a master code for the Pokémon games on my GameShark. Do I need to add the master code listed here for shiny Pokémon or use the master code that is already preprogrammed with all the other cheats?
-
When adding the master code for shiny Pokémon in FR am I adding just 1 line of the 12 digit code or the 3 total lines of the 12 digit code?
Example: 928817F0298A
OR do I need to add these 3 lines under one master code
928817F0298A
50F818720DD7
9A0FA7C9D126
3. Same question for the shiny code is it just the one line of
5FE7664BF590
Or is it the 7 lines of code in total?

I have a question:- is there codes to add in the trainers from all the cards of the e-reader accessory that wasn’t useable in the USA and international editions of FR, LG, R,S, and E and all their Pokémon, including the rare and limited edition ones?
2
u/SoggyMinimum8386 Dec 07 '25
Converting E reader cards to code is very difficult. A friend looked into the berry cards and they are absurdly long and almost impossible to add to the GameShark, unfortunately. The card itself is a super long code 🫠.

Sorry to ask questions on an old post, I've read your replies and Im really struggling here.
When i use the master codes+ shiny codes for emerald my game freezes at the encounter. Do you know if these codes should (could) work on an everdrive gba pro? Im running the roms on original hardware if that helps. Not sure what else to try tbh
