Pokemon Scarlet & Violet is a fun experience for fans that bring on new and familiar features. Trainers start their Pokemon journey in Paldea at the Academy. They have many opportunities for growth with the Gym League Challenge, disbanding the rebellious Team Star, or hunting down precious herbs. Players can purchase essential medicines, Pokeballs, food, or even clothes as they travel around the region.

While there are items spread throughout Paldea, earning cash is the best way to ensure having all the supplies needed. Furthermore, Pokemon Centers will not be located everywhere, so stocking up on things makes preparing to travel easier. Getting money in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet is similar to past games, so here are all the best ways to farm money fast.

Trainer & Gym Battles

There are a couple of ways to farm money that require a little time and effort, but if players focus on cash, it will start to pile up surprisingly fast. At the beginning of the game, the main character's mom gifts them some cash. One way to earn money is by winning trainer battles and beating Pokemon Gyms. As players move through the game, the amount they earn from battles will increase.

Unlike in past titles, random Trainer encounters are optional. If someone wants to battle, there will be a yellow text box over their head. Whenever approached and spoken to, an exclamation point appears above them. Many of them will only have one or two Pokemon, so beating them usually doesn't take much effort. Winning rewards can range from $250 to $2500, depending on the person, so taking the time to battle everyone will result in quite a bit of a payout.

Gym Tests and battles are also a reliable way to farm money fast. Every Gym has a test that usually includes Trainer or Pokemon battles as well as a Gym Leader. Beating the Gym Leaders will earn the most money, but each one will get more challenging as players level up. The Gyms are a more long-winded way to farm money, but there are 8 Gyms players can take on.

If players get hold of the Amulet Coin item, it doubles any prize money received from trainer battles. Players can get the item by speaking to the Pokemon League rep at the Medali (East) Pokemon Center. However, he needs trainers to battle at least five trainers in West Province (Area Three) before giving out the item.

Sell Items & Pokemon Materials

Another way to farm money is by selling any items or Pokemon materials found. While exploring Paldea, players will see red and yellow glowing Pokeballs that contain medicines, Pokeballs, TMs, or Held Items. They can also get these items by completing side quests or interacting with NPCs. Often, characters from the main storyline will randomly gift items. To sell items, visit any Pokemart, which will have the prices visible. Valuable items like Stardust, Nuggets, Shards, and Pearls will be worth more than common things.

Pokemon Materials can also be sold. Whenever winning battles against wild Pokemon, they will drop materials like fur, sweat, claws, etc., when they faint or are caught. Sometimes while picking up things, players can find these materials too. However, they can be exchanged for League Points (LP) instead of cash. LP is another currency in the game, and many shops will accept money or LP with a few exceptions. In addition to selling materials, players can earn LP by hitting Tera Raids and completing main story tasks.
