How to get the Amulet Coin in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet League representative in Mezagoza

You can obtain the Amulet Coin in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet from the Pokemon League Representative at the Northeast Medali Pokemon Center. The character will be wearing a suit and sporting a mustache and will reward you when you beat five trainers in West Province, Area Three.

If you attach the Amulet Coin to the first Pokemon in your party, you will receive double the money from trainers you defeat in battle.

Pay Day, Make it Rain, and Happy Hour

You can stack the money earned by using Pay Day, which can notably be learned by Persian. When used in combination with Make it Rain Gholdengo you can earn $500 per attack for each move.

Happy Hour is a move exclusive to Hisuain Zoroark that doubles the amount of money you earn from a battle. Although the code to receive it via Mystery Gift has expired it can still be received via Pokemon Legends Arceus.

If you use Amulet Coin in conjunction with Happy Hour the amount of money you can receive is quadrupled.

Glitterati Couple – O’Nare and Billy the Glitterati Couple and where to find them

O'Nare Glitterati Couple

The Glitterati couple first appear in the Teal Mask DLC at the Apple Fields, near Mossui Town. They will typically greet you and give you expensive items that can be sold for a total of around one million Poke dollars.

They will sometimes battle you, and give you a decent amount of prize money too, so remember to keep your Amulet Coin and Happy Hour Zoroark around.

The Ace Academy Tournament

Once you have the Amulet Coin and have armed yourself with the above money-making tips you can make your way to the Elite Four. After you defeat them for a second time, make your way back to the Academy.

You’ll be informed that the tournament has been unlocked. You’ll then be paired against Arven, Jacq, Dendra, and Geeta.

Once you defeat the tournament for the first time, you will be able to enter again an unlimited number of times. If you do this with Hisuain Zoroark, stacked with a Pay Day Persian and Make it Rain Gholdengo, you can easily farm over $100,000 in 10 minutes or less.

You can also take another route, and set your party to only have one Pokemon. Then set the Horipad controller to automatically press the A Button. You will be able to continuously enter the league then, whilst you relax and watch the Pokebucks flood in.

Farming rare items in Tera Raids

You can farm expensive items in high-level Tera Raids. To unlock five-star raids, you’ll have to beat the game once. To get six-star raids, you’ll need to have beaten the Ace Academy Tournament, rematched all eight gym leaders, and hosted a lot of five-star raids battles yourself.

These are the most expensive items obtainable in Tera Raids:

  • Ability Patches – $125,000
  • Ability capsules – $25,000
  • Comet Shards – $12,500
  • Big Nuggets – $20,000

  • Big Nuggets – $20,000
  • Pearl String – $10,000
  • Balm Mushroom – $7500
  • Mints – $5,000

You can pick up a lot of these sparkling items from the ground whilst darting around on Koraidon’s back. The best areas to look for highly valuable treasures include the Terrarium biome and the Asado Desert.
