Money is essential for buying Poké Balls, Potions, and TMs. Here are some effective ways to earn cash in Pokémon Yellow:
- Battle Every Trainer: This is the most consistent way to earn money. Trainers don't respawn, but their payouts are significant.
- Sell Nuggets & Stardust: These items are found throughout the game and have no use other than being sold for a high price at Pokémon Marts.
- Pay Day: The move 'Pay Day' (learned by Meowth) earns you money after battle. The amount is equal to 2x the user's level. While not a huge earner, it adds up over time.
- Amulet Coin: While not available in Pokémon Yellow, in later games, this item doubles money earned. In Yellow, there's no direct equivalent, so rely on battling and selling.
- Game Corner: While primarily for prizes, you can sell the prizes you win (like TMs or rare Pokémon) for money if you don't need them.
Prioritize battling trainers and selling valuable items to keep your wallet full.
