The Japanese name of Pay Day is a {{wp|Japanese proverb}} akin to {{wp|Pearls Before Swine}}. ==Effect== ===Generations I-II=== Pay Day does damage, and scatters [[Pokémon Dollar|coins]] on the ground with a value equal to twice the user's level for each time it's used. These coins are picked up afterwards if the player wins the battle. ===Generation III=== Same as above, except the move scatters coins equal to five times the user's level each time. The [[Amulet Coin]] now doubles the number of coins picked up. Due to {{DL|List of glitches in Generation III|Pay Day glitch|a glitch}} in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the wrong amount of money will be displayed if the Amulet Coin is held, leaving the impression that it does not affect Pay Day. Yet, upon checking the {{ga|Trainer card}}, the player will discover that the money earned from Pay Day has been doubled and added to their total savings. This error was fixed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and all subsequent games. ===Generations IV-V=== Same as above, except now the Luck Incense also doubles the amount of money picked up. ==Description== {{incomplete|section|Colo and XD description}} {{movedesc|Normal}} {{movedescentry|Stad|A move that also nets money at the end of battle.
