How to Get Money Fast

Battle Double Team Zac & Jen on Route 210

Using the Vs. Seeker, you can repeatedly battle Double Team Jen and Zac in Route 210. You can find them by traveling to Celestic Town then going east. You'll need the Hidden Move Defog in order to navigate the area. You can earn more than 26,000 Pokedollars per battle.

You can then recharge the Vs. Seeker by using your Bicycle to go up the stairs and to the far left over the wooden beam and back. After your Vs. Seeker is fully charged, you can rebattle them.

You will need to use a Pokemon that's holding an Amulet Coin or Luck Incense in order to double your earnings. You can rebattle both of trainers even if only one of them are ready to battle.
