Players can earn money fast in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl for those more lucrative items. Most players won't have an issue making cash as long as they progress through the game at a normal pace, and battle some trainers along the way. For the most part, this money is spent purchasing PokeBalls or buying healing items within the shops. Players looking to stock up on items before a challenging battle, or if they plan to hunt for a Shiny Pokémon, having a lot of extra money makes it much easier.
For starters, there are a handful of items players will need to get first to farm money. The first of which is the VS Seeker. This item allows players to re-battle trainers they have already defeated. Outside of making players a ton of cash with each rematch, this is also a great way to level up fast in Pokémon BDSP. Players will unlock this item after reaching Route 207, and come across Professor Rowan's assistant. They will give the player the VS Seeker and the Dowsing Machine, an item used to search for hidden items.
After collecting the VS Seeker, players will now need to collect an Amulet Coin. This is a held item that will double the money payout to the Pokémon holding it. Players can grab this item in Amity Square within Hearthome City. Amity Square lets the player's Pokémon follow them as they explore. Not only that, but players can use the Luck Incense item, which has the same effect as the Amulet Coin and can be found in the Ravaged Path on Route 204. After collecting all these items, players are ready to make money fast.
Battling Trainers For Money Fast in Pokémon BDSP
Head over to Route 210 in Pokémond Diamond or Pearl and there will be a Double Team running around. Make sure to equip the Amulet Coin and the Luck Incense to the first two Pokémon in the player's party. Upon defeating them, players will be rewarded $26,000. After winning, players can recharge the VS Seeker by running around the route for a bit and returning to battle them again.
These trainers will have a level 27 Gyarados and Raichu. Taking them out in the postgame should be no problem for the player's normal team. Although, using moves like Discharge and Rock Slide, which can hit multiple targets, will clear out this battle even faster. Players can also go into their in-game settings and turn off Battle Effects, making battles conclude faster and saving even more time. Repeat this process and money will no longer be an issue.
