Technically speaking, the legendary pokemon battles are non-repeatable, and thus could be argued to be fair game for pay day.

[@notsm]

Was looking for that. I agree.

[@Rhino1004]

Some games actually respawn the legendaries if you KO instead of capture. However, the condition to respawn requires beating the Elite 4 again. So in this challenge, legendaries do technically become non-repeatable since the E4 aren't.

Team Rocket's main objective was obtaining powerful and rare Pokémon to help their criminal syndicate in the hopes of someday taking over the world. They obtain these Pokémon by regular capture, or more often, theft. ..." If you prefer Bulbepedia, It's introductory paragraph says: "Team Rocket ... is the villainous team in pursuit of evil and the exploitation of Pokémon. The organization is based in the Kanto and Johto regions, with a small outpost in the Sevii Islands. While its main focus is *stealing* or capturing rare and strong Pokémon, and subsequently *selling* them, it also funds and conducts cruel experimental research on Pokémon. At times, it has even killed Pokémon. Their oath, as posted on the wall of one of their many bases, is *"Steal Pokémon for profit. Exploit Pokémon for profit. All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket."* Their ultimate goal is to take over the world using Pokémon. Now, do you think those would be apart of the INTRODUCTORY paragraphs for Team Rocket, if it wasn't something that happened in the games at least once?

[@acekingbones]

If you are able to obtain 3 PP Ups or a PP Max, you can max out the PP for Meowth’s Pay Day (if it’s profitable) to use even more against Steven’s team

[@honchdreigon606]

Actually yeah, you're right. PP Ups and PP Maxes both sell for 4900, so it'd be optimal to use 1 PP Max. That gives an additional 12 uses to Pay Day, meaning you'd get 12000 back if you're able to use all of them, which leads to a profit of 7100. Even if you can't use all of them though, you'd still only need to use 5 extra at minimum to turn a profit.

[@cristobalpinochet]

⁠​⁠@@honchdreigon606you can also use a leppa berry to get 10.000 for the price of a mere 10, and if meowth is weak enough to need more pp you can manually use more leppa berries to give him 10 more pps

[@Darkytz]

@@cristobalpinochet should be worked on a bit tho, some moves don't get used from assist. So they could be used as well. And given the amount of possible assists, you'd most likely run out of HP against steel and rock types before winning, but I'm sure with the right amount of tail whips and such you could probably get a whole lot of cash from the battle. If I had more time, I'd find the theoretical limit for this battle, as it is so iconic and might be the biggest money stack in any version of the games

[@loukianosvarsamis7133]

skitty can learn charm, psych up, and assist, so you can charm opponents to -6 attack, psych up, and copy meowoth's pay day with assist. this will cut your damage output to 1/4x and drastically increase profit per battle for pp considerations you can breed more meowths and skitties. in some of the later battles you can basically go through 120 pay day uses per battle, juicing your returns a lot

[@lilyyy411]

You could maybe breed meowths and have meowths of various levels. this might make a profit even considering removing the other mons from the daycare

[@andrewworks2551]

Yep, and then reset battles as you get to 20/20 on paydays with the meowths, this would also be a lot easier on battles where you don’t need skitty as well

If you grind the pokemon you put in the day care to level 100 first before putting them in, it will only cost 100 to take them out, since they will not gain any levels.

As yen is/was about 100 yen to the dollar when Pokémon released, it's always been simple enough for me to see "a basic pokeball is $1" as opposed to "omg I can't believe this dude gave a kid $300 for beating him in a Pokémon fight", it just never made sense that way.

[@notsm]

In Emerald you can catch a Ditto so you can breed yourself some more Meowth to exploit the Steve battle. Don't know if that would be worth it in the end but depending on how Steves pokemon did after getting payday'd 20 times by ONE lvl 100 Meowth. One does have to consider that one can only collect 99.999P after a single battle so 5 Meowth is enough to max that out. Depending on how expensive taking out Skitty and Castform are to take out that may be worth. Also I very much appreciate the fact that you mention that there is probably an optimal level for Meowth(s) to be for each fight to maximize money in that particular fight. Especially with the option for multiple Meowth with payday from the egg that would probably require far too much time to actually do.

You could have caught a natu or a doduo in the safari zone to teach fly

[@AGryphonTamer]

One thing you could probably do. Lower Meowth's attack / raise the opponents defense. For double battles this looks fairly easy. Pick a good sidekick and you could even heal the opponent's pokemon after each hit. I'd have to play around with it, but I *think* it'd be possible to get the stats such you could use every PP payday has. You could also breed more Meowth and spend a few PP-Ups. That'd turn 1 pokemon from 1-2 paydays to 32+ paydays. Still finite, still only one battle per trainer, but many times more effective.

If you change the pokemons in the daycare for a Meowth to get Meowth eggs you can have more PP in Payday to use in the battles that requires more than 20, considering each payday gives you 1000$ it compensates the price of taking both of your pokemon out of the daycare (and a Pokeball for a Ditto because the Meowth is male)

[@cmbaz1140]

Does payday still work if you attack your own pokemon with it ? I mean in double battles

[@roberteemmons]

How about a Bezos run of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (And the DLCs if you have them)? There is no money cap, there is a free sidequest in Kitakami that nets 1,000,000 Pokédollars, and many, many, trainers to battle and free held items to pick up. Edit: Although you would have to avoid picking up the glittering item nodes as they respawn every day. Oh also, if you do the DLCs, you want a full team and a Thiefer to take the held items of like, every Blueberry Trainer.

[@chrisferguson935]

This just popped up, can't believe you actually spent all that time grinding wild Pokemon for exp

[@AGryphonTamer]

The safari zone entrance fee includes pokeballs, meaning you are allowed to catch them. It's repeatable, so you're not allowed to profit from it, but you could teach one fly for free. You did mention some of this at 28:30

[@morenopanni277]

Technically there is a way to make even more money after getting meowth. If you level up Sktty and Castform at level 100 you'll lose less money by getting them back from the daycare. Afterwards, if you head to the Desert Underpass near Fallarbor Town and catch a Ditto, then you can bring your Meowth there with a Ditto and get two Meowth that can learn Payday so that you earn more money from Steven's battle, which probably is the only battle that will make you use the entire PP of Pay day, but even if very tedious you should be able to make a little profit by getting those Pokémon in the day care and using a Pokeball to catch Ditto.

[@morenopanni277]

You have to catch a Ditto as that traded meowth can only be male unfortunately.

[@AlexsGoogleAccount]

I think you should not only allow, but require trainer rematches. The reason Wally gives you more money each time is because money is calculated based off the trainer class and base stats of the trainer's last Pokemon and because trainers use different teams when you rematch them, up to 4 rematches. You should be required to use the Match Call until you've fought every variation of a team and then you are not allowed to rebattle that trainer anymore. Another benefit of this is that there are items that later versions of their team hold that you can't get any other way. Match Call is one way to get Smoke Ball and the only way to get SilverPowder, Black Belt, and Dragon Fang.
