Action Replay Codes for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness

Cheat codes for Explorers of Darkness (and Time) require an Action Replay DS cartridge or a flashcart with a cheat database (.xml/.dat). Codes are region-specific (US: APDE, EU: APDP, JP: APDJ).

Common Code Types (US Version Example)

• Max Money: 0223C5D0 0098967F (9,999,999 Poké)
• Max Team Rank Points: 0223C5D4 000F423F (999,999)
• Infinite HP (Dungeon): 521Axxxx 00000000 / 021Axxxx 000003E7 (complex, often unstable)
• Instant Level 100: 0223xxxx 00000064 (per Pokémon in party — risky)
• All Items x99: 0223xxxx 00000063 (per slot)
• Recruit Any Pokémon (100%): 021xxxxx 00000064
• Walk Through Walls: 521xxxxx 00000000 / 021xxxxx 00000001

Exact addresses vary by version (v1.0/v1.1) and region. Use a curated database:

• GameHacking.org - PMD Explorers of Darkness
• Neoseeker
• ProjectPokémon Forums (most comprehensive, includes Sky).

How to Use (Flashcart + TWiLight Menu++)

1. Install TWiLight Menu++ on DSi/3DS (or Wood/R4 kernel on flashcart).
2. Download usrcheat.dat (or cheats.xml) from above sources.
3. Place in _nds/TWiLightMenu/cheats/ (TWiLight) or _rpg/cheats/ (Wood).
4. In TWiLight: Game Settings → Cheats: On → Select codes → Start Game.

Warnings

• Save Corruption: Level/stat/recruit codes often break evolution, IQ, or story flags. Backup save first (GodMode9 / Checkpoint).
• Online/Rescue Mail: Cheated teams may fail checksums → cannot send/receive SOS Mail.
• Explorers of Sky: Codes differ. Use Sky-specific database.

For "Quick Level Up," the legit fastest way is Mt. Bristle / Amp Plains with Mobile Orb + Rare Quality items, or Zero Isle South (post-game) with X-Ray Specs + Escaping. Cheats ruin the core loop: overcoming impossible odds through preparation.
