Using cheat codes in games such as Pokémon Black 2 is hardly new. Let’s face it, Pokémon games can be tough at times, and so getting a little help is not something you should feel guilty about.

Originally released on the Nintendo DS in 2012, alongside its counterpart Pokémon White 2, the sequels represented the last major entry on the handheld system.

The fifth-generation games featured Pokémon including the mighty Samurott, the martial arts-inspired Throh and the legendary Kyurem.

If you still own a copy of Black 2 then treasure it, as buying it second-hand today will set you back upwards of around £100.

Read on for a full guide on how to use cheat codes in Pokémon Black 2, plus a list on everything available. Don’t worry, we’ll keep your cheating secret safe.

How to use cheats in Pokémon Black 2

To use cheats in Pokémon Black 2, you need to connect an Action Replay device to your Nintendo DS. From there, you will be able to enter the code for the corresponding cheat on your console.

We would recommend saving your game prior to activating a cheat, as they can sometimes cause the game to crash or break, which would be a disaster – particularly if you have made significant progress in the story.

We’ve all learned how essential saving your game is the hard way after the console’s battery dies, so this tip should come as no surprise.

Of course, if you’re playing the game on some form of emulator, you’ll need to find the cheats menu within the emulator and input the codes there.
