'''Pay Day''' is a {{Type|Normal}}-[[Types|type]] [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM16]] in Generation I. After Generation I, it became the [[signature move]] of [[Meowth]], and up until [[Generation IV]], the signature move of [[Persian]] as well. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is available as [[TM57]].

  +
===In battle===
−
Numerous coins are hurled at the foe to inflict damage. Money is earned after 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. 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.

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. 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.
