The first expansion for Pokemon Sword & Shield, the Isle of Armor, adds many conveniences. Most of these additions help in maxing out Pokemon and getting them ready for competition. However, Isle of Armor also adds a whole new way to farm Pokedollars that is more simple than any other farm. This guide will show you the easiest money farm in the game.
Unlocking the Cram-o-matic
The Cram-o-Matic is a new vendor in the Isle of Armor. It is located inside the Master Dojo. You unlock it by giving 500 Watts to Hyde, who is usually hiding at his desk. This machine takes four of your items and gives you a new item in return. There are recipes that guarentee specific items or get you an item from a list of items. For instance, giving it four of the same Apricorn will give you back a Pokeball from the drop table of that color. If you want to learn the recipes yourself without looking them up, Hyde will teach you one for every 100 Watts you give him.
Farming Money Using the Cram-o-matic
To farm money by doing nothing but spamming A, you’ll need to craft TR88 Heat Crash. The recipe is four Cheri Berries. Cheri Berries can be purchased for 80 Pokedollars each from the berry vendor just outside the Master Dojo. The TR sells for 3,000 Pokedollars, giving you a profit of 2,680 Pokedollars. After the initial craft, your cursor will remain on Cheri Berry. This allows you to just press A to repeat the process.
New Reasons to Farm Money
Competitive Pokemon (PvP)
The Master Dojo has an upgrade system that will allow you purchase vitamins for half the price they used to be. This means you can now raise the EVs of competitive Pokemon for half the price it used to cost, once you farm the Watts required to unlock this discount.
Restricted Sparring (PvE)
The new Restricted Sparring system is a great new way to farm BP. You will need to have competitive ready Pokemon though to really make it efficient. Luckily, with all the BP you’ll be earning, that won’t be too difficult. You will still need to buy vitamins to max their EVs though.
