3rd Gen Action Replay for GBA?

[Fate Falls]

I am interested in purchasing Action Replay Max, which is a way to use cheat codes. I'd like to do it in order to get rare Pokemon (such as Shinys or Legendaries, more specifically a Shiny Mew).

I just am unfamiliar with how this works. Is Action Replay like a game cartridge? Is this the thing that I would need to buy? After I buy it, where exactly do I get the codes for the Pokemon I desire?

Sorry I sound like such a newb, but I'm old now and completely out of the loop on all this stuff. xD

I don't know much about the Action Replay, but yes, it should fit into the game like a cartridge and there will be another port for you to plug the game into it so that it can add in the cheats. Where to get the codes for them, I'm not sure. Google it. Unfortunately, this section isn't really the right place to ask. Google and Wikipedia are your friends.
