    Well, I'm unsure of how many encounters I did, I'm just basing it off how many you guys did. I could have done up to 150.

     

    You should try do a run just straight up killing and see if you make more profit possibly. Curious to see the outcome.

     

    Location: Lost Cave

    Encounters/hour: 161

    Silk Scarf: 7x

    Profit/hour: $280.000 + $29.540 (PayDay) = $309.540 = $310.000 rounded up

     

    I used Pay Day and Bite, so I killed 61 more Pokémon and consequently got more profit. 

     

    I guess it makes a huge difference, then.  :blink:

    Why didn't you just put Shadow ball or something like that on your Meowth to speed up kills and get faster Silk Scarfs? I doubt doing the extra steps so you're able to payday is worth it, I'm sure you'd make more money farming the Silk Scarfs fast.

     

    That second run is really good though. What did you do, I don't fully understand? Did you taunt with a Smeargle, then Odor Sleuth, then switch to Meowth to payday?

     

    I used Taunt first, then Odor Sleuth, and finally Pay Day against Gastly/Haunter. 

     

    My method got 100 encounters, while Liquid Frost got 112. I got 4x Silk Scarf with 100 encounters, Liquid Frost got 2x with 112 encounters, you got 4x with 100+ encounters. Encountering 10% more Pokémon doesn't make a huge difference in the end. The chance to drop 1x Silk Scarf in the 10% is small and doesn't guarantee that the player will get it and compensate the profit the player would get with PayDay. If the player has a bad luck and get just one Silk Scarf, at least the Pay Day profits $40000.

     

    My intention is not to show that my method is better or not, because everyone has your own method. Not everyone uses Meowth to Pick Up and even less people would have the patience to breed one with Odor Sleuth. But I think is good to know that there are alternatives and they can be profitable aswell.

    Edit: Btw, the price of Silk Scarf is dropping in GTL. :(

    I was planning to do Silk Scarf farming, but you were faster, lol.

     

    First farming

     

    Location: Lost Cave

    Encounters/hour: 100

    Silk Scarf: 1x

    Profit/hour: $40000

     

    In this first run I was using Meowth with Pay Day and Odor Sleuth with support of a Smeargle with Own Tempo and Spore. When Gastly/Haunter used Confuse Ray I had to do switches, so the whole process was really time-consuming. I forgot to register the profit with Pay Day in this first run.

     

    In the last 10 min I had the idea to use Taunt, so I could avoid switching to Smeargle and switching back to Meowth.

     

    Second farming

     

    Location: Lost Cave

    Encounters/hour: 100

    Silk Scarf; 4x

    Profit/hour: $160000 (Silk Scarf) + $39870 (Pay Day) = $199870 = $200000 rounded up

     

    I thought using Taunt instead switching could save me time, but I encountered the same amount of Pokémon, lol. This time I remembered to register the Pay Day profit. 

    In both runs I used Exp Share in a Starmie to EV train it.

    Oh wait, when you say don't run from everything else at Berry Forest... Because I'm using a Quagsire to thief the leftovers instead of Pickup/Payday you run from everyone else.

     

    You don't need to use Thief farming Leftovers. A Smeargle can use False Swipe, for example, and then if Snorlax carry Leftovers you will know because the system message. :P

    Nice guide. :) Like the Pick Up guide, is very informative and useful.

     

     

    I have some contributions to make:

     

    Island Runs

     

    • You can use a Persian Lv100 in the NPC battles too, because you can use Pay Day one time in the battle and get extra $400-500. The Starmie could use another item, while Persian uses Amulet Coin.
    • In the Desperate Times Run, you could add the trainers of Green Path and Outcast Island, in Island 6. Same thing for Tanoby Ruins in Island 7. These trainers are far away, but for someone desperate they are profitable.
    • You could include some trainers of Bond Bridge and Kindle Road, some of them give considerable money.
    • There are trainers in routes of Kanto that give some good money too. Not sure about the amount, need to be checked. The ones that give less money could be included in Desperate Times Run.

     

    Leftovers Farming

     

    • Farming Leftovers without Pick Up is not smart. I used Pick Up there in 100 encounters and got 2 Leftovers and captured a Snorlax with 1. If I had used your method, I would have ended with only 1 Leftovers instead 3. Also, you should not run from everything else, because these Pokémon are level 30-40, so using Pay Day while farming will give you some good money.

     

    Silk Scarf Farming

     

    • Lost Cave is more profitable that most people know of. Using a Lv100 Meowth with PayDay and Odor Sleuth makes you hit the ghosts with PayDay, while using Pick Up. They only know Shadow Ball/Shadow Punch as offensive moves, so they won't touch Meowth, giving the chance to use Odor Sleuth and then PayDay. The only problem is Confuse Ray, and is not really a problem, because my Meowth knows Rest to recover and I switch to a Smeargle with Own Tempo and Spore specialized in catching (which is very common and most people would not have to make one). Destiny Bond is not a problem, just use Odor Sleuth until the ghost uses another move. Lost Cave is great to train Special Attack and Speed at the same time. So you can do EV Training, farm Silk Scarf and get profit with PayDay. 
    • If you wanna stay in Lost Cave without having to surf everytime you run out of pp, you can use Rest in Meowth to recover its hp and then encounter a weak Pokémon, like Tentacool, to wake up. You can also carry some Awakenings, they are cheaper than berries. You could also mention Leppa Berry.

     

    PayDay

     

    • Well, someone already mentioned Artisan Cave, but... this place is great, because Smeargles are weak and are OHKO'ed easily by Persian and are in a high level. Shiny Smeargle isn't bad too.

    [Guide] EV Training

    If you want to farm Sp.Atk while earning money with Pay Day, go to Mt.Ember "Last Floor" before sand and defeat Slugmas (100% spawn).

     

    Mt. Ember is far away from a pokécenter and using PayDay makes you use ExpShare, so you would gain 1 Special Attack EV point instead 2 with Macho Brace in Route 113. The guide focus in EV training only and the most effective places. If someone wants to make profit with EV training, there is a lot of methods that this guide can't and won't include.

     

    What about Route 120? pretty good to train Att with Mightyena and poochyena. And if there appears Linoone too you can Train Attack and Speed Evs x2 it can appear some other pokes... but maybe is worth...

    Have anyone check it out? :o ?

    Linoone = 15%
    Zigzagoon = 10%

    Mightyena = 15%

    Poochyena = 10%

    Absol = 8%

    That makes 58% chance of getting the desired EVs. Route 120 is not good for EV training.
