Pokémon Dollars are acquired primarily as [[prize money]] from defeating [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in battle, or by selling items at a [[Poké Mart]]. Pokémon Dollars can also be acquired by using the move {{m|Pay Day}} in battle, at the rate of either 2 or 5 times the level of the Pokémon using it, depending on the generation. Additionally, some other moves like {{m|Happy Hour}}, as well as held items like the [[Amulet Coin]] or [[Luck Incense]], can also have an effect on the amount of money earned in a battle.
