Pokemon Black and White 2 are expansive titles within the franchise, offering players a wide array of areas to explore and Pokemon to catch. Due to the sheer scope of these games, players often look for shortcuts to enhance their experience, bypass tedious grinding, or acquire resources that would otherwise require significant time investment. Cheats, typically in the form of button codes, allow players to modify game mechanics, such as obtaining free items, disabling random encounters, or altering battle outcomes. These modifications can range from quality-of-life improvements, like maximizing currency, to gameplay-altering effects like a 100% catch rate.
It is important for players to note that while these cheats offer significant advantages, activating too many simultaneously can potentially cause game lag or crashes. Users are generally advised to limit the number of active cheats at any given time to maintain game stability. The following sections detail specific cheats available for Pokemon White 2, focusing on resource acquisition and gameplay modifications.
Free Items and Max Money
One of the most sought-after modifications involves acquiring items and currency without cost. The standard game requires players to earn Pokemon Dollars through trainer battles and selling items, which can become repetitive when needing to purchase essential supplies like healing items or Poke Balls.
Free Items: A specific code allows players to purchase any item from a shop for zero cost. Although the price display remains visible, the transaction does not deduct any currency from the player’s wallet. To activate this effect, players must enter the following code sequence:
- 5200C9EC 1A51E000
- 1200C9F0 000046C0
- D2000000 00000000
Max Money: To bypass the need for currency grinding entirely, players can use a cheat to instantly maximize their funds. This code is activated by pressing the Select button, which sets the player's Pokemon Dollars to the game's maximum limit. The code for this function is:
- 94000130 FFFB0000
- 02226724 0098967F
- D2000000 00000000
Item Generation and Inventory Management
Beyond purchasing items, cheats exist to generate specific high-value items directly into the player's inventory. This is particularly useful for acquiring items that are rare or limited to one per playthrough.
999 Master Balls: Historically, players were limited to a single Master Ball per game run. This cheat allows players to generate 999 Master Balls, ensuring they can catch any Pokemon instantly without fail. To use this, players enter the code and then press the L or R shoulder buttons while selecting the first item in their inventory. If successful, the existing item is replaced by 999 Master Balls. The code is:
- 94000130 FCFF0000
- 1221DA24 00000001
- D2000000 00000000
999 Berries: Berries are useful for healing and removing status conditions during battle, but collecting them, especially rare varieties, can be time-consuming. A cheat exists to instantly fill the player's inventory with 999 of every Berry available in the game. This is activated by pressing the Select button after entering the code:
- 94000130 FFFB0000
- B2000024 00000000
- D5000000 03E70095
- C0000000 0000003E
- D6000000 000195B8
- D4000000 00000001
- D2000000 00000000
Encounter and Catching Mechanics
Manipulating wild encounters and catch rates are common strategies for players looking to complete their Pokedex or speed through the game.
No Wild Encounters: For players focusing on speed runs or traveling between towns without interruption, a cheat disables random wild Pokemon spawns entirely. This prevents Pokemon from appearing in tall grass or caves. However, players should be aware that this also removes a primary method for training Pokemon. The code is activated by pressing the Select button:
- 94000130 FFFB0000
- B2000024 00000000
- 2002224D 000000FF
- D2000000 00000000
100% Catch Rate: This cheat ensures that any wild Pokemon can be caught on the first throw, regardless of its health or type, effectively rendering Master Balls optional. The code is:
- 521AF890 7820D203
- 121AF890 000046C0
- D2000000 00000000
Catch Trainer Pokemon: Typically, players cannot capture Pokemon belonging to opposing trainers. This cheat modifies the game rules to allow players to throw Poke Balls at a trainer's active Pokemon during battle. If the player catches all of the opponent's Pokemon, the battle ends immediately. The code for this mechanic is:
- 02002300 68006868
- 02002304 60012100
- 02002308 00004770
- 521AF660 F7EC6868
- 121AF666 0000F652
- 121AF668 0000FE4B
- D2000000 00000000
Wild Pokemon Modifier: For players seeking specific rare Pokemon without the lengthy search process, a modifier cheat exists. This allows players to spawn specific Pokemon in the wild, though the specific codes for individual species were not detailed in the available data.
Battle and Progression Enhancements
Cheats are also available to alter battle outcomes and bypass progression gates, such as Gym Leader battles.
Invincibility: This cheat makes a player's Pokemon immune to all damage, effectively removing the challenge of battle survival. The code modifies game memory to prevent HP loss:
- E2003000 00000018
- D0002800 4903BD70
- 428E6809 2400D200
- 00004770 02257544
- 521A9BB0 FF42F7F2
EXP Share and Multipliers: Leveling up a full party of Pokemon can be a grind. Two types of cheats address this:
- EXP Share: This code functions like an in-game EXP Share item, granting all non-participating Pokemon in the party the same amount of experience as the battling Pokemon.
- 521AEF84 42819903
- 121AEF88 000046C0
- D2000000 00000000
- EXP Multiplier: For even faster leveling, players can use codes that multiply the experience gained from battles. Options range from 2X up to 200X experience. The codes vary by multiplier:
- 2X: 521BD738 0C040400 / 021BD738 43442402 / D2000000 00000000
- 4X: 521BD738 0C040400 / 021BD738 43442404 / D2000000 00000000
- 8X: 521BD738 0C040400 / 021BD738 43442408 / D2000000 00000000

- 200X: 521BD738 0C040400 / 021BD738 434424C8 / D2000000 00000000
- EXP Share: This code functions like an in-game EXP Share item, granting all non-participating Pokemon in the party the same amount of experience as the battling Pokemon.
All Badges: Gym battles can be difficult and time-consuming. A cheat exists to instantly grant the player all Gym Badges, bypassing the need to defeat each Gym Leader. The specific code for this was listed in the source material but omitted from the text flow; however, the source confirms its existence as a method to instantly advance game progression.
Walk Through Walls: For exploration or bypassing physical barriers like trees or rocks, a "Walk Through Walls" cheat allows players to move through solid objects. This is activated by holding the L button while moving. The code is:
- 5219C910 FDD8F7C1
- 1219C914 00001C04
- 94000130 FDFF0000
- 1219C914 00002400
