Pokémon Emerald has plenty of rare Pokémon to catch, but only one guaranteed Master Ball to help you catch them. Since the Master Ball never fails against a wild Pokémon, many players reserve it for Rayquaza, Kyogre, or roaming Legendaries.

With the Pokémon Emerald Master Ball cheat, you can obtain additional Master Balls without relying on the game's rare lottery prize. Compatible GameShark and My Boy codes let you get them through Poké Marts or PC storage. However, choosing the wrong cheat format can prevent the code from working. This guide covers the correct codes, activation steps, and fixes.

Part 1. What Is the Master Ball in Pokémon Emerald, and Why Is It So Valuable?

It can be frustrating to capture rare Pokémon with Poké Balls after repeated failures. One of the Poké Balls we'll use in Pokémon Emerald, or other Pokémon games, is the Master Ball. The master ball guarantees a catch on the first throw.

Unlike regular Poké Balls, Master Balls are extremely rare and aren't available everywhere. Their limited availability makes it difficult to save enough for multiple rare Pokémon encounters.

This is where the Pokémon Emerald Master Ball cheat comes in handy. With compatible cheat codes, players can get more Master Balls to catch Pokémon without running out.

Part 2. Does the Pokémon Emerald Master Ball Cheat Still Work?

Yes, the Pokémon Emerald Master Ball cheat still works on compatible emulators, particularly those running Pokémon Emerald version 1.0. However, codes may not function correctly on version 1.1.

The following GameShark Master Ball code allows players to obtain free Master Balls from Poké Marts:

GameShark Cheat Code:

958D8046 A7151D70
8BB602F7 8CEB681A

Use the code, go to a Poké Mart and get your Master Balls. Once you have collected enough, you should disable the cheat to prevent conflicts.

For My Boy Emulator:

The My Boy emulator Master Ball cheat uses a different code:

82005274 0001

Select CodeBreaker as the cheat type, or use Auto Detect if your emulator supports it. Activate the code and visit a Poké Mart to collect Master Balls.

Part 3. How to Get Unlimited Master Balls in Pokémon Emerald Using Cheat Codes

Pokémon Emerald cheat codes can be used through an emulator such as Visual Boy Advance (VBA) and My Boy or physical cheat devices such as GameShark. These codes let you access additional Master Balls without spending real money.

However, not every code available online works with every emulator. Some also require a master code before activation. Follow the instructions below to enable the Pokémon Emerald Master Ball cheat on your preferred emulator.

Method 1. How to Get Unlimited Master Balls Using Visual Boy Advance (VBA)

Visual Boy Advance lets you activate Pokémon Emerald Master Ball cheat codes directly through its cheat menu. Follow these steps to obtain Master Balls from Poké Marts.

1. Step 1 Save Your Game

   Open Pokémon Emerald in VBA and save your progress. You can also create a save state to return to your current position if the cheat causes problems.

   

2. Step 2 Open the Cheat Menu

   Click Cheats > Cheat List in the emulator. A new window will appear where you can add and manage cheat codes.

   

3. Step 3 Select GameShark

   Click GameShark to open the code entry window. Enter a name in the Description field to identify your cheat.

   

4. Step 4 Enter the Master Ball Code

   Paste the GameShark Master Ball code provided in Part 2 into the code field. Save the entry and ensure the cheat is enabled. Some cheat configurations may also require a compatible master code.

5. Step 5 Collect Master Balls at a Poké Mart

   Return to the game and enter a Poké Mart. Speak to the shopkeeper and open the Buy menu. The cheat should let you obtain Master Balls for free.

   

   If your emulator allows only one Master Ball per transaction, repeat the purchase until you have enough. If the shop inventory hasn't changed, leave the Poké Mart and enter again.

   

6. Step 6 Disable the Cheat

   Once you've collected your Master Balls, return to Cheats > Cheat List and uncheck the active cheat entries. Exit and re-enter the Poké Mart to restore its regular inventory.

   

You don't need to enter the code again for future use. Simply reactivate the saved cheat from the Cheat List whenever you need more Master Balls.

Method 2. How to Activate the Master Ball Cheat on My Boy Emulator

1. Step 1 Install and Open My Boy

   Install the My Boy emulator on your Android device and open Pokémon Emerald.

2. Step 2 Access the Menu

   Tap the menu icon to access the emulator's settings.

3. Step 3 Select Cheats

   Select Cheats from the available options.

4. Step 4 Add a New Cheat

   Tap New Cheat to enter a name and paste the My Boy emulator Master Ball code.

5. Step 5 Select Cheat Type and Enable

   Select the cheat type, save the entry, and ensure it's enabled.

   

Once activated, the compatible cheat lets you get more Master Balls in Pokémon Emerald.

Part 4. Where to Find a Master Ball in Pokémon Emerald Without Cheats

You can obtain a Master Ball in Pokémon Emerald without using cheat codes, but your options are limited. Here are two locations worth checking:

1. Team Aqua's Hideout

To reach Team Aqua's Hideout, fly to Lilycove City and Surf along the coast until you reach the entrance. Check the hideout, defeat the trainers, and go through the rooms until you get four item balls. One contains a Master Ball, while the other three are Electrodes.

2. Lilycove Department Store Lottery Corner

Visit the Lottery Corner in Lilycove Department Store and enter the Pokémon Lottery. If the drawn number matches all five digits of a Pokémon's Trainer ID, you'll receive a Master Ball. However, winning depends on luck, so this method doesn't guarantee a reward.

Part 5. How to Level Up Faster in Pokémon GO with XP Tips and Dr.Fone Virtual Location

You earn XP in Pokémon GO for catching Pokémon, taking part in raids and building friendships in the game Pokémon Emerald. There are several effective ways to gain XP quicker.

1. Boost Your Friendship Levels

Making friends is a great way of earning XP. To achieve better friendship levels, one should exchange gifts, fight in raids and interact together regularly.

• Great Friends: Requires 7 friendship points.
• Ultra Friends: Requires 30 friendship points.
• Best Friends: Requires 90 friendship points.

Use a Lucky Egg before reaching an XP-awarding friendship milestone to double the XP earned.

2. Participate in More Raids

Raid Battles provide XP and opportunities to catch powerful Pokémon. To make the most of them:

• Collect Premium Battle Passes when needed.
• Join local raid communities through Discord, WhatsApp, or Facebook.
• Coordinate consecutive raids with other trainers.
• Use a Lucky Egg or take advantage of special XP events to increase your rewards.

3. Catch and Evolve Pokémon in Batches

Regularly catch Pokémon and save Candy to evolve them in bulk. First, select Pokémon that won't take up a lot of Candies. Then use a Lucky Egg to evolve several Pokémon at once. This helps maximize the XP earned during its active period.

4. Explore GPS Locations with Dr.Fone Virtual Location

Traveling between cities to explore different Pokémon GO locations can take time and money. Dr.Fone - Virtual Location lets you change your phone's reported GPS position and simulate movement without traveling.
