Effect[]

In battle[]

Pay Day does damage to the target, scattering coins in the process. In a Double Battle, Pay Day can target any Pokémon around the user, while in a Triple Battle, Pay Day can only target a Pokémon that's adjacent to the user. If the player wins, they will pick up the coins — with the amount equal to twice the user's level.
