Charsky Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 A New & Easy Money Method So I've thought of a new way on how to make money, and it's actually turning out pretty well. (Apologies if you've already thought of this) So, here's how the method goes :Requirements : -Access to the Safari ZoneStep 1 : Head to the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City.Step 2 : Head to Area 2.Step 3 : Search for the Pokemon 'Paras'. (The Method works best when already doing something, for example, hunting for Chanseys)Step 4 : Throw a rock, then throw a Safari Ball. (This has worked best as I find the Paras's don't seem to flee much)Step 5 : Check if the Paras is holding either a Little or Big Mushroom. (Tiny Mushroom is 50% and Big Mushroom is 5%)Step 6 : Sell the Mushrooms. Big Mushrooms sell for $1,000 per, and Tiny Mushrooms sell for $500 Rinse and Repeat those steps ^My Thoughts on this Method I've found it best to keep catching Paras's until you either run out of Safari Balls or the time runs out at least then, you end up with 10-15 Paras's per run. Yes, this method can be quite tedious, but it's best doing this method when already putting the Safari Zone to good use. (Chansey Hunting) And weirdly enough, I've had some extraordinary luck with the Mushrooms. I've found 2 Little Mushrooms, and found around 7-8 Big Mushrooms (Only been doing this for about 30-40 Minutes) So, Let me know what you think about this method, I'd appreciate constructive criticism, but fire away!-Charsky Bishav, Voydz and SoaR 3 Link to comment

Dannnno Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Not a terrible idea, I'm curious if its actually faster than paydaying wild pokemon in Cerulean Cave. I doubt it b/c every encounter nets you ~500 there, and with your method only a small number of encounters will give you money (and you have to pay to use the SZ) Link to comment
TheGloriousWalrus Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Step 6 : Sell the Mushrooms. Big Mushrooms sell for $1,000 per, and Tiny Mushrooms sell for $500 really? I could swear they payed off less, maybe the updates changed that. anyway, intresting guide [spoiler]*cough* guide section *cough*[/spoiler] Link to comment

bl0nde Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It doesn't sound like a bad idea but I make 410-500 ish per pay day swipe on island 6. You can get more per swipe in the cerulean cave, but island 6 is a bit more convenient. I'm not trying to shoot you down, i'm just making a statement here. Link to comment

However, If your able to net 10-15 Paras's each run, the probability of getting at least 1 Small Mushroom would be high, and for some reason it seems sooo much easier getting Big Mushrooms, when it says the rate is only 5% Link to comment

In Cerulean cave, or on the later islands, for each of those encounters I can get 400-500 without paying a red cent. Link to comment

lerais Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I rather just take a false swipe pokemon to mt.moon, preferably a smeargle. Use trick to see if paras is holding something and catch it. one small mushroom lets me buy about 2 pokeballs. one big mushroom gets me 5. I also find the big mushrooms more frequent. It may seem like a small profit but I been doing this for a while and now I have a set of 99 pokeballs. Plus I would hate to have to enter and leave the safari zone over and over again.. plus parasect is not the only pokemon found in the safari.. so i rather stick to my method which has a 100% chance of finding a paras.

Robofiend Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 selling the mushrooms to other players is probably more profitable ValeRoth 1 Link to comment
Charsky Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 selling the mushrooms to other players is probably more profitable Your right to some extent, if you think about it, not many people have a lot of use for Mushrooms. (Unless wanting to re-learn a forgotten move) Because this method is pretty much unnoticed, this gives people another reason not to buy Mushrooms. Link to comment

I Guess, but 1, You'd have to keep buying Poke balls, 2, You'd have to enter and re-enter Mt moon, every time your Pokemon that knows 'Trick' runs out of PP. Link to comment

Well I do have a set of 99 pokeballs and I can easily teach trick, false swipe, spore and milkdrink to my many smeargles. So far I use 3 smeargles for the paras hunt. It just gets boring after a while.. but in the end its just whichever method people would prefer or find easier to do. I like my method.. except its annoying with the status effects. Link to comment
Oxygen Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 not a horrible idea but paydaying is still faster. Link to comment

ValeRoth Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I guess this method would be more worthy to someone who's not yet reached further islands and Cerulean cave :) The thing is, it doesn't take more than 5 hours (maybe more since trainers now...yeah) to clear the main and postgame..., it's a good option though, just not as efficient as trade chat or paydaying in isle6/cerulean cave Link to comment
