How to Make Unlimited Money While AFK in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

[@GameboyLuke]

After some testing, my friend @HoodlumCallum had some great success using this strategy with a Flutter Mane instead: Moonblast - 252 Defense EV / 252 SpAttack EV Using choice specs increases ur chances but you can run Amulet Coin if you’re feeling risky! Also I understand that you can just duplicate items in order to make money, this is a more automated way of doing things and also not every player feels comfortable with abusing glitches as Pokémon themselves have banned for far less. I like to keep my main save files clean and legit and i’m sure other people do, please respect that!

[@roastedrutabaga604]

what if u used booster energy

[@Bellwar]

Working like a charm… using amulet coin last couple hours no deaths and started at lvl 94

[@AlphaSeagull]

Wouldn't Metronome be more consistent in both Flutter Mane and Krookidile since it caps at 100% more damage on the move?

[@PatrickDJGaming]

I've ran it for about 12 hours with Amulet coin and it works like a charm! Thank you Callum for sharing this with people on twitter! and Thx Luke for posting it here :D I had about 7.4 million at the end of it

[@ipoint01]

Adamant Salamance, 252 attk, 252 speed, moxie, with Fly and amulet coin. The type advantage against Tauros makes needing the clear amulet not necessarily. Fly has no full immunities and the least amount of quad resistances. The biggest issue you run into is against Ms. Tyme's team, but that's why we are using Fly instead of aerial ace.

If anyone wants a truly consistent option, I found that a level 100 Iron Valiant running Choice Specs spamming Moonblast with 252 EV's in both HP and Spe Atk (hyper trained as well) can guarantee you don't lose. Poison isn't an issue because the Pokemon that can are usually one of the last three pokemon to come out, meaning it doesn't have enough time to kill, and Baby-Doll Eyes doesn't affect it. Unfortunately, Iron Valiant needs to run Choice Specs due to Penny's Sylveon, as it needs the item to be able to one shot. If running the Amulet or Booster Energy, her Sylveon will be able to take one hit if it is not a crit, and it can kill if she crits instead. There are other pokemon that can take a hit, but none of them can kill in one shot like Sylveon. The lack of Amulet Coin is unfortunate, but I have tested this for days now and Iron Valiant clears it with no problem consistently. So, if you're looking for a way to clear without a chance of losing, this is a good solution. I am pretty confident this works 100% of the time, but, if anyone tries it and does lose, please tell me. I will edit this to say so.

[@jesusdamken]

I've been testing this strat and you can OHKO almost everyone: - Gholdengo lv 100 - 31 IVs (except Atk) - EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Def - Choice Specs - STAB Flash Cannon You could try it with Amulet Coin as long as you don't fight Penny, any Goodra trainer because of Muddy Water or the dude with Pachirisu.

[@pterozachtyl]

If anyone is still wondering about this, now that home is compatible, I've found what I think is the ideal mon. I've been using magearna modest with max speed max sp. atk using dazzling gleam and holding the amulet coin. Because of magearna's ability, it still one shots both the gengar and toxapex that gave miraidon the issue. I had this running last night and made about 4.5 million and it was still going when I woke up.

[@themysticarcher3313]

I started it out with my florges using moonblast. She's now lvl 100 and I tried running her w/ amulet coin and it worked pretty well! I maxed out her sp atk and the baby doll eyes had no effect since I was only using moonblast. Ran some numbers and it averaged at about 115,000 per tournament, hitting just shy of 500,000 an hour. If you try this please leave your results in the replies! I used a very small sample size so probably not completely accurate!

[@gucci-shinigami592]

The only obstacle I’ve run into has been Deandra. She leads Falinks for me, and Crunch doesn’t OHKO. It’s complete chance if she his CC with Falinks or not. If she does, the Moxie boost doesn’t guarantee an OHKO on the first tauros she sends out. And with what HP you DO have left, the second Tauros will use Aqua Jet and finish you off. Great strat, but she can be a run killer

[@darkone6030]

Sylveon with hyper voice and the hidden ability pixelate, max IVS or hyper trained in speed and special attack as well as evs is the standard setup for farming the tournament. More reliable.

[@zuivbal6951]

I'm finding the exact same. Although, I think either Falinks or Fire Tauros would both need to hit CC and either would need to crit for the KO. I used the build suggested in the video without investing in Def or SpD and I'm bodying everything else. I was very confused when the video talks about Gengar and Toxipex as big issues and I've watched my Krok OHKO like 20 times. I'm so grateful for this video though. One note I would add is that if anyone has a SwitchUp device. You can map the R2 button on a Playstation controller and use the SWSH auto farm setting to spam through the tournament. Save yourself buying a controller!

[@TOPhoenix]

I’m doing the same thing except with Sylveon. Pixilate, timid, Coin amulet, 252 SpA, 252 Spe, hypervoice as first move. Seems to be most reliable. I only tried with 4 different mons but sylveon turned out to be the best and also my fav pokemon

And to top it off you don’t need an item so there’s you’re amulet coin!

Been trying a few different builds for this strat to keep on amulet coin, and I got so frustratingly close with moxie Honchkrow 252 atk, 252 def, 4hp using Drill Peck. Only thing that seemed to be a loss from quite a few runs was Pachirisu can survive with a sliver of health sometimes and then paralyzes with nuzzle and it's basically a guaranteed loss after that. I also tried super luck with night slash and it is very consistent but Dendra is capable of winning if she hits all her close combats and Hariyama hits his stone edge and at least one of them is a crit, if none of them crit I would survive with around 30 hp. Also you need max friendship to guarantee the crit, and it also helps with making the opponent miss sometimes. I had very little luck with moxie Salamence that people are suggesting, lost two runs in a row with that. 252 spatk, 252 def, 4 hp Flutter Mane just smashing moonblast with an amulet coin and zero strategy is funny enough almost guaranteed too, but I've lost a run to being toxic'd by Jacq's Swalot early, and I think Scizor can kill you if it gets a lucky two in a row bullet punch crit, also Penny has a chance if her Flareon both crits and burns with flare blitz.

Honestly I think the power items are a far more efficient way of doing it this gen. For 360,000 up front you can get 6 of each power item. All of the Pokemon for each stat are plentiful in Poco Path/Inlet Grotto, and it takes only 28 encounters to max out a stat for your entire team. Ex. I was doing this for HP EV training, and knocked out 28 lechonk in about 8 minutes. This trained all 6 of my mons in HP, which would've cost 1.5 mil in HP Up vitamins

Everything I can think has already been mentioned, but comments are good for the youtube algorithm, sooooooo... If you use a special attacker, you won't have to worry about intimidate, so you can use the amulet coin. The challenge then becomes finding a special attacker with either enough bulk to take hits or one fast enough to OHKO regardless of what move is used. Espeon or Gengar might have enough power and speed for the OHKOs and maybe something like Hydreigon (assuming there aren't any Fairy types in the tournament) or Magnazone might have enough bulk to make it work.

You could make 100k buy a miracle capsule, duplicate the miracle capsule however many times you want, then sell all except one. Rinse and repeat they sell for 25k each. I sold 40-50 for 2.5million lol. Just my method though! Took me an hour!

[@WoahItsCrazyMike]

It's a nice enough money making method, but if people want the money for EV increasing items, you're far better off buying all the bracelets from a store, equipping the appropriate stat bracelet to each team member, then go battle low level pokemon that also give the correct EV type (or the wrong EV type that you happen to have an abundance of berries for) and you can have an ENTIRE TEAM fully EV trained in about 30 minutes.

[@superman15922]

Ok I know I've commented a bunch, but I think I just found yet another actually really viable if not perfect mon for this strat. Flamigo.... Even if Hassels Noivern were to have a Speed boosting Nature (i think the tournament mons are neutral Natures though, as far as I can tell) you would still outspeed it with 0 speed investment, so you get to outspeed everything. It's ability Scrappy cancels out intimidates and enables you to hit ghost types, which grants you the ability to use Close Combat, just also slap a Choice band on and most monst falls over like a wet noodle. As far as I can tell the only mon that can "potentially" be dangerous is Jacq's Slowbro, which you can work around. It does quad resist CC, but that shouldn't be a big problem, since you still 2-Shot it, with a slight chance to even 1-hit ko it. Just put your 252 EVs you saved by not specing into speed into SP-Def and you can tank a Psychic even at -4 SP-Def. (his Farigiraff is a guaranteed 1-hit, so it doesn't matter that it's a psychic terra type). NPCs tend to send out mons with type advantages after a defeat, so no matter what Jacq does you should always be in a range to survive a hit, since he either sends out Swalot or Slowbro right after his Arcanine (Swalot is also a 1-hit ko). I'll make a Flamigo today and let it run the entire night right when I get home and report back / edit if this doesn't work. So my recommended Set would be: Flamigo @ Choice Band Ability: Scrappy EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 SpD Adamant Nature - Close Combat

Been having good results with flutter mane. Modest, maxed IVs (except physical attack), max special attack EVs and max defense EVs. It tanks crit hexes from amoongus, bullet punches from scizor, and crits from toxapex like a champ and one-shots pretty much everything else. Should be fine to have an amulet coin and run without issue. Thanks for the vid! Edit: Added defense EVs for scizor

[@pega7550]

I‘d advise people to boost EVs with defeating Pokemon in the first area (there are Pokemon for each EV and you can buy the Power items for 8 additional EVs per defeated Pokemon very early for 10k each) This way you‘ll save time and money, since you‘ll be able to EV train 6 pokemon at once and it takes maybe 10-15 minutes to max out one stat for all 6 pokemon. No money spent ^^ Because its an early area the wild pokemon are gonna be at level 10 max, so it should be quite easy to oneshot them.

[@johndymond8703]

Yo this is my first pokemon game really training evs and ivs because of the quality of life changes but do you know if overworld fighting works for everyone or does it have to be in battle and secondly how many evs can go into each stat with a brace/belt on

[@KingOfTh3OzOne]

@@johndymond8703 quick battling does not effect evs. Any pokemon in your party will gain evs upon killing or catching a pokemon any other way. You can use the ev berries; tomato,qualot,kelpsy etc to remove stats. Like vitamins it takes 26 to completely remove a maxed out stat. Feathers can be used to boost stats but they're slower than vitamins. The best way to ev train is still manual. For example: Go to mesagoza eat a sandwich for encounter type electric out of the sandwich shop there, go out the east door, kill shinx. If you're holding a power bracer on a pokemon you want to train it takes 28 shinx and the area is flooded with them.

[@johndymond8703]

@@KingOfTh3OzOne thx for the tip for this example I'd go find a Sandile with moxy go to megoza eat a sandwich for whichever type/pokemon/ev yield I want fight the required amount with the right brace and that's max evs?

@@johndymond8703 well I train attack and speed outside east gate. Shinx gives attack rookidee gives speed. I kill chanseys for hp.

[@pega7550]

​@@johndymond8703 as far as I know the overworld battle (without engaging) doesn't enhance your EVs, you have to go into the battle. With the power item you'd get at minimum 9 EVs (8 from the power item you give your pokemon to hold and wild pokemon can give 1-3 EVs I believe, the ones in the starter zone all give 1) So to max a stat you'd need to defeat 28 wild pokemon with a power item on each pokemon you want to get the stat. It's still the same amount of EVs that can go into each stat, but you'll just get more per defeated pokemon if you equip the item. It's also worth knowing that you can only max out 2 stats at most with perfect trained EVs

[@CottontailCavalier]

I just got a $20 controller on Amazon and the turbo works perfectly to farm the Ace tournament. I use the same flutter mane I built for soloing charizard raids. Modest, EVs in SpAtk and HP, fully bottlecapped, holding amulet coin, spamming moonblast. Most opponents go down with 1 hit, the others go down with 2, but they don't do enough damage to take it down. Haven't experienced any crits bad enough to catch a loss either, but i guess one really bad rng attack could do it. This is definitely the best money farming method tho

My flutter mane wins every time with the amulet coin. Fully hyper trained, max evs in sp atk and hp, using moonblast. She made me 7 million and was still fighting when I woke up ^_^

[@CristiannoMartins]

I tried this and lost twice to dendra as she could get off 2 close combats on my krokodile plus an aqua jet before moxie got going. But then I remembered I had a programable button on my turbo controller that is capable of turbo as well, and simply record pressing R then A. R will only activate terastal while on move selection (if still available), and reset the camera behind the player on the school hall. Having this combination on turbo, my krookodile could "defensively" turn into a ground type, and dendra changed her strategy, only bringing water tauros later in the fight, giving me enough moxie boosts to just OHKO it, while also not being weak to close combats from the start of the battle. The battles got a little longer as the terastal has to happen every starting battle, but it is worth it as this prevents the game from breaking the battle cycle while I'm AFK.

[@vpnt]

[@CristiannoMartins]

@@vpnt a mobapad m267, but it is not a very durable controller: the drift is real with this one, and I only use it today for tasks that do not require using the sticks.

But to be honest, you dont need that money for vitamins if you are ready to invest like 30 min. Just farm like 26 golducks for sp att as an example (with the correct item) and your sp att is maxed aswell. Ntl this method is lit 🔥

[@XenithShadow]

An important note is that this specifically only works if you select the water starter. As otherwise clavel will have a effect spore ammongus which is 3.33% chance when hit to tirgger effect spore with sleep which will either instantly kill you if you picked the fire starter as terra water attack from quaquaval is potentially fatal if you get 2 turn sleep, your probably fine if you have grass starter as fire croc is unlikely to be able to kill you unless you get 3 turn sleep and even then probably unlikely.

[@pallettown3358]

I have tried multiple mons with this, flutter mane is 100% the most accurate, just choice specs moonblast with 252hp/252 sp attk, I never lost, I have not tried flutter mane with amulet coin yet, seems a bit risky, choice specs is less money obviously but never fails

[@jacobrocket1734]

ima be honest, the only thing i can think of that may come close that yall havent yet would be corviknight adamant max atk max hp with mirror armor (ha) and iron head or corviknght impish max hp max def with mirror armor (ha), i honestly dont know which would scale better or which is more consistent, but it has the steel type to not be stalled by toxapex and mirror armor reflects baby doll eyes and intimidate back to the user thus allowing an amulet coin to be held, again just a theory craft. edit: give me a moment to look up some stats edit 2: these may not work as well but theres also iron jugulis max sp atk and something like 200 hp/def and the rest in speed with booster energy dark pulse and iron moth in a similar build just youll be spamming fiery dance not dark pulse, iron valiant may work in a mixed set due to the penny or you can again run it similarly to iron jugulis and iron moth and spam moonblast, the booster energy will be returned to the pokemon after the battle, i say that cause during battle itll look like the booster energy is gone forever but i tested it out and it stays, this was a change to every single use item i believe as well, i just know it was tested on booster energy and focus sash and they never got discarded after battle like before. edit 3: only just now found out that the abilities only boost by 30% on the paradox pokemon so just stick with the specs

[@alexnicolaou3579]

i do that with the ruin fish, dark pulse everything. only penny's terra sylveon moon blast will deal damage to you and even critical hits won't see you faint. also the harryiama could but it's 99.99% succesful to run the tournament over and over, just don't dock your switch and leave it all day, it will overheat. i use a charger and leave it chargin on the table, screen at minimum brightness, animations off. each tournament takes 10-12 minutes. that's 600.000 pokebucks per hour... so a complete pokemon build.. in 6 hours i got enougt cash to build a VGC team.

i have another sweeper for you: lurantis 252 sp atk, 252 speed ability: contrary - leaf storm max out the pp so you've got 8 now you get +2 every turn and can easily just sweep with a bp 120 move. the only danger would be cursed body. flame body isn't even a danger because you're a special attacker. i don't think any of the mons in the ace tournament have cursed body.

[@howdyfriends7950]

you get to +6 after three turns, not many things can withstand that, and you get 8 of them to use.

No Need for that much money in the first place. Take yourself ~20 Minutes of time, 50k PokeDollar and One Sandwich for 5 max EV trained Pokemon. Since every Raid Mon needs HP, just give them an Item like Power Lense (or the item for the other corresponding stats(they're 10k each)) and go to the Team Star Fairy Hideout with a Normal Encounter Sandwich Power to farm Chanseys. Chanseys have literally 0 phys. Defense.. Just use a physical fighting type pkmn and you're good. Like this you can EV train 5 Pokemon at the same time for almost no money at all.

If you can't grind the poke$ I use this option for HP and D EV's I just spend 30 min grinding EV with appropriate power held item for each EV. In 30 minutes you might make 120k Poke$.

Each also give 9 EV with the Defense EV boosting item. Spawn rate is good even without a sammich that makes bugs or water pokemon pop up.
