Effect Summary

Deals damage and scatters money on the ground worth five times the user's level.

Detailed Effect

Pay Day deals damage and scatters coins on the ground.
The amount of coins increases directly with the user's level.
If the player wins the battle or ends a wild encounter with a move that forces the target to flee (such as Roar or Dragon Tail), they will pick up all the scattered coins and receive the money amount.
The amount of money from Pay Day is doubled if any of the player's Pokémon takes part in battle while holding an Amulet Coin item img or Luck Incense item img. (This effect can only be applied once, regardless of how many additional Pokémon hold these items.)
No money is obtained if:
  • Either side flees or Teleports, unless the player forces the wild Pokémon to flee
  • The player loses or blacks out
  • The wild Pokémon ends the battle with a move that forces the player to flee
  • The wild Pokémon is caught
  • The battle is one of these types of battles: Link battle, Battle facility, Max Raid Battle, Tera Raid Battle
