How to Activate Thief Cheat in Pokemon Diamond With Action Replay

"Pokemon Diamond" for the Nintendo DS gaming system features an Action Replay cheat that lets you steal Pokemon from trainers you battle. Normally, if you throw a Pokeball at a competing trainer's Pokemon, the ball bounces off; you're not allowed to steal Pokemon from others. After putting the proper Action Replay code into your DS, you'll have to activate it from within the Action Replay's menu to use the cheat while playing "Pokemon Diamond."

Things You'll Need

The "Steal Trainer's Pokemon" code for "Pokemon Diamond" in your Action Replay

Instructions

- 1
  Place your Action Replay into the Nintendo DS cartridge slot for DS games, not Game Boy Advance games. Insert "Pokemon Diamond" into your Action Replay. Turn on the Nintendo DS.
- 2
  Press the "Code Select" button, which looks like an asterisk. Tap a code on the DS' lower screen to activate the code. Press "Start" to launch "Pokemon Diamond" with your thief code enabled.
- 3
  Play the game until you encounter a trainer battle. Wear their Pokemon down to only a few HP, as you would when catching a wild Pokemon. Throw a Pokeball at the trainer's Pokemon and, if the HP is low enough, you'll catch it.
