Money

## Guide To making Money! - By Goombs and Jhvnghir

**1. Battling in Johto/Kanto/Events/Survival -** If you just finished making a home and need some cash to buy UrAveragePateet’s dragonite off the GTS this method will be perfect for you. Go around Johto, Kanto, and the events and battle any NPC you see. These NPCs usually give a decent amount of money (especially in kanto) and are good for a short-term money supply. You can also battle wild pokemon (especially bosses) and NPCs in Survival and make some money there. It is usually less, but it is repeatable.

**2. Voting/Kits -** This one’s pretty simple. Just vote. Voting everyday can gradually give you lots of vote keys and money. You can open vote keys by right clicking on the vote crate in spawn. If you get lucky with the vote keys, you can get masterballs, Zygarde cells, max mushrooms, or even a half key. This same concept applies to Kits. If you gradually use your kits everyday you can collect a ton of rare candies and pokeballs over time, which can be sold for money.

**3. Farming -** Farming is the easiest, most reliable, and one of the most efficient ways to make money. You can sell crops to the NPCs in /warp survival. At the time of making this guide potatoes are the best plant to farm, but there are many crops, including:

Cocoa - Not a great crop to farm but doesn’t take too much effort to harvest since you can just break them with water or pistons. They also grow really fast. One cocoa bean usually sells for about 10.

Potato/Carrot - Make sure to harvest them with fortune 3 to get the most out of the crop. Also make sure to have the correct lighting and water levels for the crops to grow. These also sell for about 10 each.

If you don’t want to make a farm then you can also farm for other people. Usually you can farm a layer of a farm and be paid part of the profits. This isn’t the preferred method but it's good if you don’t have your own farm yet.

**4. Breeding**

Breeding is also one of the best ways to make money. Almost everyone buys high IV pokemon so having multiple ranch blocks breeding is important for this method. Most of the time these are sold on the GTS. It's best to breed unique pokemon from other people so you’re not competing for sales (things like different abilities or sizes can be valuable).

Check out the useful breeding guide - If you’ve never used a ranch block before or bred a pokemon don’t worry. It's a lot more simple than you think it is. Check out this guide for breeding pokemon: Ooo Ooo Click me!!!

**5. Training**

Train your own pokemon and sell them - This is usually combined with breeding since most people will only buy BP pokemon. If you want to be fast you’ll need either multiple exp shares or an exp all with 5 lucky eggs.

Train other people’s pokemon - For this its best to have an exp all with 5 lucky eggs. Best with rich people since they are lazy.

**6. Trading -** Buy things that people sell and sell them for more. For this one you have to be really good at knowing the prices on legendaries and other valuable items. You also should be good at negotiating with people. Common things to do this with are Legendaries, mega stones, exp shares/exp all, and other items/pokemon that are valuable.

**7. Mining -** Simple, mine ores and sell them to the NPCs in /warp survival or to other players. Smelting metal ores (gold, iron, bauxite) also has a chance to spawn meltan for a bonus. Selling the ores themselves to the GTS are also viable since other people like to smelt them for a chance to spawn meltan.

**8. Enchanting -** You can also make money by selling enchanted books to people, usually on the GTS. You can enchant items yourself or fish for enchanted books. Remember that auto-fish farms are not allowed. You can fish using an old, good, or super rod. You can also get XP by battling and training your pokemon.

**9. Work for people -** Rich people usually are also lazy (too busy running around their base and what not). Go work for them! You can work on people’s farms, as a builder, breaking blocks to clear out an area, or using /pokebreed for people. Sometimes you can even get paid to do people’s homework!

**10. Tournaments -** Every now and then people will host tournaments with great prizes. These prizes can be millions of dollars or legendary pokemon, but it is difficult to win against powerful opponents. Each tournament will usually be based on a Smogon Format, so familiarize yourself with those rules. Make sure to check the player events channel and claim the events role in the discord server to be notified about tournaments.

**Bonus: Sell anything people want -** These ten strategies are some of the most common ways to make money, but in the server’s economy, you can always make money by selling anything that people are willing to pay for. This can include rare candies, bottle caps, legendaries, shinies, or anything else you have that other people want. Also, It’s best to always keep at least one of the item you are planning to sell, you never know when an extra lucky egg or power bracelet can come in handy.

Note: These are not the only methods there are to make money. If you find something else that you can do to make a good amount of money feel free to go ahead and share it in the comments (or keep it a secret… mwahahahahaha!)
