Forum Thread

I just figured I'd ask are what the best ways to make PD as a new player? As I was typing I saw CCShinx's Forum post, but most of the tips don't seem the most beginner-friendly after looking at GTS, Market, etc...

If anyone has any tips feel free to put them below! CCShinx definitely had some good ones, so be sure to check out their post as well, but some of the most efficient ones seemed more inaccessible to newer people.

Thanks in advance!

The most basic one would be to interact a lot. If you interact with other peoples Pokemon and eggs, you gain PD for each one.
A "passive" income you can do is rumble areas. Pokemon will bring back Items that you can sell on the Item Market (like Weather Balloon or the Dynamax Crystals), and they will bring you Mystery Boxes and Keys. Those boxes and keys also sell well on the Item Market, but you can also open them for a chance for legendary summoning items/rumble maps which give you summoning items. Those sell for a high price. Or you can summon the legendary yourself and sell the Pokemon on the auction House (though the items are usually worth more).

On Trainer Level 15, you get access to the Berry Garden, where you can plant berries, craft drinks (and sell all those through a special berry garden shop) and fulfill Tasks to get PD

You could always try and get a good Pokémon from the lab and sell it on the auction house. If you can find a Hard or a rare, those are quite good, but if you find a legend, a ditto, an event, or an Unown rarity egg, then you might make quite a bit, with some legends selling for millions of PD
