Prize money: Difference between revisions

{{incomplete|needs=Miss Team Flare class; confirmation on rates, rates in B2W2, confirmation on whether Player payouts are consistent with Gen V games}}

'''Prize money''' is the money that a Trainer pays out at the end of a battle. Trainers in battle facilities, the [[Battle House]], [[Pokéstar Studios]], as well as other players in link battles, do not give prize money. In addition, [[AZ]] does not give prize money.

==[[Non-player character|NPC]] Trainers==

In the games, a Trainer pays out money based on a formula:

[[File:BasePayoutFormula.png]]

<!-- As far as my research snooping around in the ROM goes, it is the last Pokémon in the Trainer's party stored in memory that accounts for the payout. If you have an exceptional case, please put it on the talk page with the following documentation:

 

2. The order in which Pokémon appeared, including their levels. If a Pokémon was switched out by means of Whirlwind or the Trainer manually switching out another Pokémon, include this in the order.

4. The Poké Balls in the Trainer's party lineup that turned dark after a Pokémon fainted, and the order in which they did so.

Where ''Base'' is the base payout of the Trainer class, and ''Level'' is the level of the last Pokémon in the Trainer's party. Note that the last Pokémon is not always the highest level Pokémon - for example, in [[Generation II]], {{ga|Red}} pays out {{pdollar}}7700 even though there is a level 81 Pikachu in his party, because the last Pokémon he has is his level 77 Blastoise, and in [[Generation IV]], he pays out {{pdollar}}16,800 despite the level 88 Pikachu because, again, the last Pokémon in his party is his Level 84 Blastoise.

In [[Multi Battle]]s, the total payout is simply the sum of the payouts of the two Trainers if they had separate parties. For example, in Generation IV, battling a Camper with a level 26 Spearow at the end of the party at the same time as a Champion with a level 78 Garchomp at the end of the party<!-- I just love using Cynthia as an example, don't ask --> would earn the player {{pdollar}}416 + {{pdollar}}15,600 = {{pdollar}}16,016. Taking on two Roughnecks with a Level 53 and Level 67 Koffing respectively would earn the player {{pdollar}}1272 + {{pdollar}}1608 = {{pdollar}}2880.

===Base payout table===

Below is a table of the base payouts of each Trainer class, by generation.
