In-depth Money Making Guide - Multiple Methods


Recommended Posts

From the quick island run I just did, sturdy doesn't add a huge amount of time onto the actual run (Probably a few K loss). But, if you are using the starmie that you suggested in the original post, the sturdy mons will hit you hard with EQ and explosion etc so it requires a few potions or other mons to complete the run. 

 

Also forretress has sturdy on island 7 too.

It may mean just skipping isle 6. It was on my optional list in my "recommended methods" as it is. So we'll see.

So with the update, additional NPC's in Hoenn are now able to be rematched, as well as not having to call them up which was a right pain in the ass before.

 

I decided to go through all NPCs and try rematch them all. I'v got to route 120, east of Fortree on the bridge near the berry patch. I'v done everywhere west of there. If someone can carry on the rest that would be nice, if not I'l continue tomorrow.

Pretty disappointing with the rewards prizes in Hoenn. All scattered about and very few that are actually above 6k. Really not worth doing right now.

As I failed to have a proper discussion about this on Channel chat, Imma try here:

 

Is it still worth (if choosing only one method) doing Islands runs? With Gym rematches, seems way faster (since you only need to beat 8 trainers) to earn pretty much the same amount of money IRs give.

Guys, the Electric gym leader is not in his gym, which makes my gym runs a bit less worth. I guess this has to do with the Hoenn storyline or something like this, but

 

1. I haven't touched the storyline for literal years so I have no idea where I'm at

2. I have about zero knowledge of Hoenn

 

Anyone knowledgeable about Hoenn knows how to make that guy come back?

He's outside Mauville, talk to him and then visit new Mauville dungeon. He'll return to his gym afterwards.

 

@KaynineXL Route 11 has 2 more Gamblers which give 5k+ (will edit when I beat them)

South-West Corner:

Gamer Hugo: 5886

can i give to the day carerer a mewoth holding everstone and wait till it go lvl 100 without evolving to persian so i can keep the pickup abillity?

Your Meowth will not evolve while in the daycare, with or without an Everstone. Just stick it in there and go do VS Seeker runs, because your Pokemon in the daycare will take a % of exp from all the exp you get else where. I think it's like 50% of the exp.

Added those extra couple of trainer on route 11.

 

Can someone add a new reserve, or delete a couple posts so I can use an extra post? I need to add a new section.

 

Also, I wanted to ask, would you guys say island 6 is worthy of the 'recommended' VS Seeker run? It doesn't quite have the pay rates the other areas has, but there are a lot of good pays close together, only now, there's a lot of sturdy Pokemon. Thoughts on that?

Sturdy pokés do not affect the overall scene in a huge margin of time to make the money earned not be worth.

If I'm not mistaken we have one Steelix/Onix per Hiker, nothing else. That's a waste of... 30 seconds more?

 

If you like to Payday these trainers, it's quite nice to Payday then obliterate the hell out of those uguus.

Problem is, conserving your PP as well, since study requires 2 hits.

 

Maybe not worth the hassle.

I've cleared two posts, so you should have one more section available.

That's all I can do for now though

hey guys! first of all really nice guide! 

well i'm farming some everstones, but i have some questions about the THIEF move, as in the changelog 22/07/2016 it changes like this

THIEF:

  • Removed hard level cap for Thief
  • (PvE) If Thief faints a wild opponent, its steal effect will not function

what does this mean? i can use a lvl100 pokemon to get the items unless i kill'em with my thief move? is that how it works? (any grammar mistake please feel free to correct me) :D

Yes, before the patch if the level of the Thief pokemon was 10 lvl apart from the wild pokemon there was a possibility that the item you try to steal breaks. Now you could use a lvl 1 diglett to thief from a lvl 30 pikachu for example. But you can't use like a lvl 80 diglett or something like that  because it will  One Hit K O the target and so thief won't work , the same with Covet i guess.

is it worth to give your lvl 1 poke to the day care and lvl em up till 100 and list em up in gtl and does anyone how much money he needs on average to lvl a poke from lvl 1 or 30 to 100?

 

Nah, daycare charges like 1200$ a poke, so when your poke is done, you'll lose more than you make.

Hey guys, I forgot to mention, I give this guide some big updates last week. It's all rearranged with the newly added pages Berry farming and Recommended methods.

I can assure you that my guide is up to date as I try to make it since I'm dead. Got my boy @LiquidFrost helping me get the guide updated as possible.
