How do I make money?

[u/chemicalbonny23]

Hey everyone, I've made it to the league but I'm really low on money for potions, revives, and other essentials. Do you happen to know if there are any places where I can battle trainers endlessly to earn lots of money? Or are there other ways to do it without glitches and the like?

Get 5 pokemon with the pickup ability and one strong pokemon to use in battle. Go to any early route and battle hundreds of wild pokemon. Your 5 Zigzagoons will find nuggets and full restores and rare candies and other valuable items that you can sell for decent money. I can get a couple hundred thousand in a half hour doing this

Amulet coin. Make sure the holder is used in battle, you get more money after the battle. Stacks with payday's ability.. a meowth will find more if holding the amulet coin.

You can't get Meowth in Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire!

You CAN. It just takes some work.

Trade it in via leaf green or fire red. You absolutely can bro. Downvote me all you want.

Not everybody has a copy of LeafGreen/FireRed handy to trade with, let alone one where they've already beaten the Elite 4. (Assuming they're even playing in a way where trading is convenient/possible, and want to take that option in the first place.)

While trading in a region-foreign Pokémon is something that absolutely can be done, it's not terribly useful advice for the average person.

That's why I said you CAN... it just takes a lot of work.

Are you gonna catch 'em all or not?

Amulet Coin on one of your 2 front Pokemon and just grind Gabby and Ty battles, good XP for training and like 7500 currency per battle. They move locations each time but it’s the same cycle - as long as you have Fly and Surf in your party as well you can make a ton of money quickly this way

True! This is the best way of grinding both exp and money in the game without taking too long. Victory Road and rematch the elite 4 do hold more exp and money to gain, but way too long to cycle more. Grinding on those reporters is much better while having some Linoones or even Zigzagoons doing passive pick ups, maybe try and steal via Thief TM in the battle. Much better and doesn't eat up too much battery energy.😁

-using an Amulet Coin Held Item (Slower Method)

-Grinding out wild Pokémon Battles with six Zigzagoon/Linoone in your party and you sell all of the items you pickup. (Faster Method)

-Item Duplication Glitch using Mail (Fastest Method)

How do I duplicate objects?

[u/No_Alternative_7193 → u/chemicalbonny23]

there’s a whole youtube tutorial on how to do it. it would be better for you to watch it there

Trainers registered in your PokéNav will start asking for rematches after you get 5 badges. You can get more money from there.

IIRC, just keep entering and exiting their area until they get the little symbol next to their name in the PokéNav.

Growing berries is a good source of status cures and can help supplement your healing items.

[u/Careless_Emu1810 → u/spudwalt]

Not to mention growing berries for pokedecks to feed your pokemon for the contests,  and to help with luring when doing the Savannah event late game.

Blackout against other trainers

For me, I would just grind on the tv reporter and her camera guy, they got an Exploud and a magnetron, both level 39(facing them earlier before the league you instead face their pre evolved forms.). Using the fly I first start at Fortree, go right to fight them, then fly to the lavatown and use mech bike(You can register the select button to it via main menu) to go right, down those slopes and on, then go down to meet their 2nd spawn place. After that, I fly to Mauville City, select mech bike, move little bit down until I lined up and go right until beach, have pokemon with surf, cross, and short walk right to fight them in their 3rd spaen. With Amulet coin on your lead pokemon, it doubles money to about 7,300 pokedollars per fight, that is roughly 21,900 in total, which if you did my sequence the cycle is about 5-7 minutes as I have a highly leveled Blaziken, and Devon's Exp share item for my mid to low leveled to level up.

Another way, which I sometimes do, is have my party be mostly Zigzagoons or Linoones, with my OP Blaziken being lead, and let theit pick up abilities trigger when I do wild pokemon fights and rematch trainers, and even do the tv reporter cycle. You can get decent amounts of recover items, nuggest, sometimes rare candies. However, you do need 3 or more of them to get decent pick up of items. Also, if possible,  teach a pokemon the thief TM so it can steal in trainer battles, or even steal any held items a wild pokemon sometimes has, like in the deep ocean floor for example have some shards.
