Pay Day deals damage. When this move hits the target, it scatters [[Pokémon Dollar|coins]] on the ground.
Pay Day deals damage and scatters coins on the ground. The amount of coins increases directly with the user's [[level]]. If the player wins the battle or ends a wild encounter with {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}}, they will pick up all the scattered coins and receive the [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] amount.


No coins are scattered if the target is immune to this move's type. The amount of coins is not otherwise affected by [[type]] effectiveness.
The amount of money from Pay Day is doubled if any of the player's Pokémon takes part in battle while [[held item|holding]] an [[Amulet Coin]] or [[Luck Incense]]. (The effect cannot be increased by using multiple Pokémon holding these items.)


If the player wins the battle or ends it with {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}}, they will pick up all the scattered coins and receive the money amount.

In this generation, the maximum amount of Pay Day coins allowed per battle is 999999 {{Pdollar}}. After this, the game still states that coins are scattered with every use of Pay Day, but the value of coins stored by the game will not go any higher.

If Pay Day is used by a Pokémon that has the Ability {{a|Parental Bond}} (for example by using {{m|Skill Swap}}) the "Coins were scattered everywhere!" message will only be displayed when the move hits for the first time. The second hit will not cause the message to be displayed, and will not cause an additional instance of coins to be added to those picked up after the battle.
If Pay Day is used by a Pokémon with {{a|Parental Bond}} (for example by using {{m|Skill Swap}}), coins are only scattered on the first hit.


[[O-Power|Prize Money Power]] and {{m|Happy Hour}} increase the amount of money picked up, and can both be stacked with each other and either the [[Amulet Coin]] or [[Luck Incense]].
{{m|Happy Hour}} increases the amount of money picked up.


If Pay Day is used during a [[Max Raid Battle]] or a [[Tera Raid Battle]], the "Coins were scattered everywhere!" message will not be displayed and money will not be earned after the battle, regardless of whether the opposing Pokémon is captured or not.
===Generation VII===
{{MoveResearch|Is money received when Nihilego escapes in Aether Paradise?}}
[[O-Power|Prize Money Power]] increases the amount of money picked up.
