Battling has always been one of the fastest ways to earn cash in Pokémon, particularly if you’re a fan of the Battle Chateau exploits popularized by recent generations. But it looks like there will be at least one new (and shockingly easy) way to earn some quick cash when Pokémon Sun and Moon head to stores this holiday season.
Over the weekend, four new Pokémon from Pokémon Sun and Moon were unveiled during the Pokémon World Championships, including a crab-walking new brawler known (rather appropriately) as Crabrawler. But that wasn’t the only big Pokémon news to emerge this weekend. New Pokémon Sun and Moon gameplay footage also hit the web courtesy of V-Jump, offering our first look at one of the handful of money-making opportunities that will present itself in the seventh generation of Pokémon games.
According to Siliconera, the footage shows the player participating in a side job that involves throwing starving Pyukumuku back into the ocean. Apparently, one of the latest additions to the Pokédex has a major evolutionary deficiency and routinely starves to death because it won’t leave whatever spot it decides to call home. Even if/when the local food supply runs out. It’s not a great situation but one that will ultimately benefit Pokémon Sun and Moon players willing to spend a little time chucking hunry Pyukumukus back into the ocean. More than 20,000 Pokédollars are paid out in the video from V-Jump, which only features a couple minutes of Pyukumuku tossing.
Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are in development for Nintendo 3DS. Both are scheduled to debut on Nov. 18, 2016.
