Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon gives you an immersive experience beyond Pokemon battles. Farming money helps you get rich fast so you can purchase items, outfits, or whatever you want without thinking twice.
This Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon guide has compiled reliable methods of farming money quickly. But before we dive into the subject, get your hands on the Amulet Coin from Konikoni City or Paniola for $11,000, or activate Happy Hour to earn double the rewards in battle. Now, let’s consider all the effective ways of farming money in the game.
1. Pyukumuku Bite
If you examine the six Pyukumuku wandering the beach in Akala Island Hano Grand Resort and return them to the sea, you will get 20,000 PokeDollars. This sidequest is activated by talking to a man on the beach, and it can be done once a day.
2. Hunt the Wimpod
You can use Taurus’ dash to chase the Wimpod which tries to flee you. This Wimpod is found on the Coast towards the south of Akala Island near Route 8. If you defeat Wimpod, it will drop a Big Pearl worth 4,000 PokeDollars, a nugget worth 5,000 PokeDollars, and a big nugget worth 20,000 PokeDollars.
3. Finding Pokemon
Some Pokemon can be sold to people for large cash rewards. On Melemele Island, you can sell Abra to a woman near the Hau’oli City Pokemon Center for 10,000 PokeDollars. There are also many other Pokemon that can be given to people for rewards, such as:
| Crabrawler | It can be found on Route 2 and sold to a woman near the Pokemon center on the same route for 3,000 PokeDollars. |
| Sableye | It can be found in the grass on Ten Carat Hill and sold to a man on route 1 and 3 for 3,000 PokeDollars. |
| Salazzle | It can be found in Wela Volano Park and sold to a man near the Heahea City Apparel Store for 10,000 PokeDollars. |
| Goomy | It can be found in Lush Jungle and sold to the Aether Foundation Base on Route 8 for 5,000 PokeDollars. |
| Xatee | It can be sold to the KoniKoni City Pokemon Center for 5,000 PokeDollars. |
| Minimor | It can be found on Hokulani and sold to a man in the boutique of Malie City for 10,000 PokeDollars. |
| Garchomp | It can be found in Haina Desert and sold to the Aether Foundation representative near the Pokemon Center Café on Route 16 for 20,000 PokeDollars. |
4. Crushing Rocks with Taurus
Once you acquire Taurus, you can earn loot by crushing rocks at the Poni Breaker Coast and selling it for money. Stardust will be sold for 1,500 PokeDollars, Star Piece for 6,000 PokeDollars, and Comet Shard for 30,000 PokeDollars.
To earn loot this way, destroy four boulders at Poni Coast and then go north. Once you get to the Ancient Poni Path, destroy four boulders again. Now go south, destroy four boulders, and go back to the coast to destroy some more boulders. Repeat this process as often as you want for farming money as needed in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon.
5. Battling the Elite Four
Another way to earn money fast is to repeatedly battle the Elite Four with an Amulet Coin and Roto Prize Money. Before you start battling, make sure to turn off the Battle Animations; this might give you a chance to battle with extra power.
If you win the battle with the Amulet Coin, you will earn a $79,200 reward, but if you’re playing without the coin, you will get a regular reward of $13,200. With the Happy Hour effect, the reward will increase to $158,400 per member you defeat.
6. Treasure Hunting
If you’re ditching battle, you can send the teams to Isle Aphun (level 3) using Poke Pelago to dig treasure. You can sell your findings to earn extra cash.
7. Completing Po Town
A quick way to earn daily cash is to complete Po Town and defeat Team Skull. After completing the quest, you must find Office Worker Royce and defeat him in a battle to gain his trust. Royce will soon return with a side quest, allowing you to purchase Big Nuggets for $5,000.
These Big Nuggets can be sold for $20,000, and the vendor will send one Big Nugget daily after that.
