It’s always wise to have a few spare Poké-dollars in the pocket–especially when you can trade that currency for rare items from the Gingko Guild. Whether you’re after evolution stones, Rotom items, or just some useful berries, having money to barter with is a must. Here, we’ll be listing the best, fastest, and easiest ways to accrue Poké-wealth over the course of Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

1. Battling the Miss Fortune Sisters

After your initial introduction to the Miss Fortune Sisters, they’ll be scattered individually throughout the five main points of interest you have access to. Not only do they give great experience, but they cough up tons of money too, if you manage to beat them. You can do this over and over again, as long as you don’t mind reloading the map every now and again, after each encounter.

How it works:

-locate a Miss Fortune Sister

-defeat them in battle

-gain experience + profit

-reload area to repeat the process

2. Acquire the “Star Piece” recipe

Shortly after the introduction of the game, you’ll be given access to a stall in Jubilife Village run by the NPC known as Anvin. Anvin sells crafting recipe guides, pieces of information that unlock the ability to make items out of raw materials. Right away, you’ll want to purchase the recipe for the “Star Piece.” Star Pieces are staples of the main series Pokémon games, in the form of glittering crystals. You can craft them from shards and stardust, which are commonly dropped by wild Pokémon, then sell them to merchants for a good amount of money. This is especially easy to do after a bout in the wilds, when you’re likely up to your ears in loot.

How it works:

-acquire the “Star Piece” recipe from Anvin in Jubilife Village

-collect shards and stardust from wild Pokémon

-craft Star Pieces from these raw materials

-sell them to merchants in exchange for money

3. Farm rare items from the Coronet Highlands ruins

Just below the Summit Camp of Coronet Highlands are a collection of areas overrun by ruins. These ruins are infamous for statuesque Pokémon, ancient architecture, and–mostly importantly, for our purposes–wooden boxes. These boxes can be broken by your own Pokémon, and they harbor tons of rare loot. Simply traverse this area and break all the boxes you can see, for great items and excellent profit.

How it works:

-travel to Coronet Highland’s Summit Camp

-locate the ruins

-break boxes for rare items

4. Utilize space-time distortions

Occasionally, when exploring the lands of Legends: Arceus, a “space-time distortion” will appear. These are areas where the current ancient timeline of the game and the modern day clash, spawning powerful Pokémon and rare items. If you jump on these opportunities quickly, you can defeat strong Pokémon and grab uncommon items to get a great combination of experience and cash, all in one go.

How it works:

-find a space-time distortion

-defeat all the Pokémon you can/grab all the items you can find in the time allotted

5. Let Ursaluna do the work for you

Ursaluna is a ride Pokémon that acts as an item finder. The player can get access to Ursaluna after fighting and reigning victorious over the second Noble Pokémon, which means you can utilize it pretty early on in the game. It takes a minute to get used to, but after you get the hang of it, Ursaluna can lead you to big finds–and therefore, big profit. Let the Pokémon bring you to these items, then dig them up and sell them for quick and easy money.

How it works:

-get access to Ursaluna

-ride the Pokémon to locate rare items

-sell them for profit
