PokémonFire RedforGame Boy Advance(GBA) is an enhanced remake of Pokémon Red, one of the first Pokémon titles for the original Game Boy. In addition to secrets and glitches, there are tons of Pokémon Fire Red cheat codes available through GameShark and Action Replay.
These cheats are for PokémonFire Red, but some information may also apply to its companion game, Pokémon Leaf Green.
How to Upgrade the Pokédex
After completing the main story and collecting at least 60 pokémon, visit the Professor in Pallet Town to receive the National Pokédex. You can now visit new locations and evolve your pokémon into more advanced forms.
Secret Item Locations
Once you get the Itemfinder, you can revisit locations where characters previously stood and use it to uncover rare items. You must be standing in the exact same spot they were when you use the Itemfinder.
Item | Location |
Leftovers | Near Cycling Road and Silence Bridgewhere Snorlax was. |
Macho Brace | In Viridian Gymwhere Giovanni was. |
Sacred Ash | At Navel Rockwhere Ho-Oh was. |
Soothe Bell | In the Pokemon Towerwhere Mr. Fuji was. |
Trainer Card Upgrades
Upgrade your trainer card up to four times by completing these task in any order:
- Complete the main story.
- Complete the Kanto Pokédex (pokémon 1-150).
- Complete the National Pokédex (Except for Celebi, Deoxys, Jirachi, and Mew).
- Obtain a score of 200 in the Pokémon Jump and Dodrio Berry Picking mini-games.
Safari Zone Glitch
To maximize your time in the Safari Zone, stand in a grassy spot and lightly tap left and right to make your character change directions without moving. If you keep doing this, you'll eventually encounter wild pokémon, but the timer will not go down.

How to Trade Pokémon Between Versions
It's possible to trade pokémon between the generation III Pokémon games (Fire Red, Leaf Green, Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire). Trading with Emerald and Leaf Green are enabled by default, but to enable trading with Ruby and Sapphire, you must visit Celio at the One Island Pokémon Center and help him fix the Network Machine. You must also complete the main story and upgrade your pokédex.
How to Trade Pokémon on an Emulator
To trade pokémon between game cartridges, you must connect two GBAs using a Game Boy Advance Link Cable. However, if playing on the My Boy Emulator, it's possible to trade pokémon by running two games on the same device:
Launch Pokémon Fire Red in the My Boy Emulator and tap the menu icon in the top-left corner of the screen.
Tap Link Local.
Tap Another game.
Select the game you want to trade with.
When the new game launches, tap the menu icon again, then tap Switch game.
Select Pokémon Fire Red to resume your game.
You can now go to a Pokémon Center to initiate trading, then switch back to the other game to complete the process.
