Now you know a way to consistently get currency, but there must be other ways to get currency besides constantly waiting for scours to return boxes, right?
Of course! There are many other ways that you can obtain currency besides just selling boxboxes. In this post I'll cover how to obtain credits, gold poke, and zophan canisters, in that order.
Ways to obtain credits
Credits are Pokefarm's most common currency. If you're thinking, wow, it's the most common currency yet I still can't seem to have enough, worry not! There are many ways to obtain credits, which are all relatively easy :D
Daily Task Rewards
The simplest way to obtain credits doesn't require you to do anything at all except log in! (Which you've probably already done, since you're looking at this guide xD) You get a different amount of credits per day depending on your online chain, but requiring literally nothing it's basically free money. However, because it's so low-effort, the yield for it isn't that high. You get 100 credits on the first day, 200 on the second, 400 on the third, and 800 on the fourth. You get gp on the fifth day, when you complete the chain, but I'll get into that later. Obviously 1500 credits (the total of the four days) doesn't really get you that far, you can probably get a couple cheap berries but they're almost worthless, so that brings me to the next way to obtain credits.
Task List
Another way to get credits is to complete tasks on your task list (can be found if you scroll all the way down on your
party page). Each task has a different amount of credits that you will be rewarded for completing the task, depending on the difficulty of the task. The rewards range from 196 credits for reaching a level 4 berry garden (
feel free to give me info here, this just happens to be the lowest yielding task that I still have but I definitely know there are lower yielding tasks.), to 654,321 credits for summoning arceus! As you progress through the game, you'll be able to complete many of the tasks unintentionally (like summoning legendaries, hatching eggs, etc.), so the credits will gradually pile up. This is a slow method for obtaining credits, but at least it's another method that you're now aware of.
Important note, you have to click on the task and click claim to get the credits, otherwise the task will just stay there even if you've completed it.
Scours
Another way to obtain credits is through scours. Sometimes a pokemon will bring back credits, but the amount is usually low, so I won't go into more depth about it.
Interacting
Yep, you might've not known this before, but surprisingly you can just click and interact to get credits! This comes in handy to people who massclick (aka click a lot of fields), as well as just people who interact in general to maybe hit the 1k daily interaction task or just to max out their egg timer. I'm not 100% sure on how much credits you get per click, or per ___ clicks (the number on which you get credits), but (
need more info to complete this sentence). Even so, at least it's another way to get credits.
Selling
This one may come off as obvious, but you can also sell items, pokemon, or even decorations for credits. Once you unlock it, the
market is a great place to sell things if you need some quick credits. However, keep in mind that the owner of the market, Doug the Merchant, charges a small fee to sell an item on the market, which may seem trivial at first, but if you end up selling lots of items there the fee can quickly pile up.
A better place to sell things might be the
trades thread. Here, you can post threads selling and buying things, just like the market, but unlike the market there isn't a fee to sell your items. However, the downside of this is that some of the items you sell may not be in demand, so you may wind up waiting a long time selling the items, which might be bad if you quickly need the currency. For example, let's say you're selling a form-change item like a rotom sparkplug. If you sell it on the market, you may not end up making the biggest profit off of it, but it may sell really quickly, which helps you get the currency quickly. In contrast, if you post a thread on the trades thread wanting to sell a singular rotom sparkplug, it may take weeks before someone randomly winds up randomly needing that specific sparkplug. In summary, use the market to sell an item fast (usually more common items) but for a lower profit, and use the trades thread if you're willing to wait a little longer (although it all depends on the demand) but make a bigger profit on the item.
If you want to sell something
even faster than that (yes, it's actually possible O.O), you can sell the item directly from your inventory. If you click on the farm tab, and then the
inventory tab, you can see all the items that you currently have. If you click on any item that you want to sell, it gives you the option to sell it directly from your inventory. The only downside to this is that you get
even less than you would if you sold it on the market, which is understandable since you can sell the item almost instantly. I wouldn't recommend selling from your inventory unless you really have to, since selling from your inventory definitely lowballs everything (for example, a shiny charm box costs 10mil credits to purchase (although you have to buy it in zc, but this is the conversion rate), whereas it sells from your inventory for a measly 10k credits, around 1000 times less). I'd only recommend selling from your inventory for
really common or relatively useless items, like training bags or common berries, since those items are super common and have a hard time selling even on the market.

Tips by FelineOverlord:
- Incremental credits earning by selling items. Mainly training bags and the daily 20 free fishing Poke Balls. It's not much but it's free money. Also extra interaction points can be turned in for extra Albino Radars which can be sold from the inventory.
- I try and buy as many 60-packs of DCP as I can on Persephone days. They can go a little under 500gp each with the hypermode discount. They can then sell for up to 110 ZC/equiv on a good day, which is a great conversion rate
- Site-wide events are great sources of income too— gp from Fabulous Friday and contests, Z-crystals from Type Race, and the mega vouchers and new items/Pokemon from MCW
- Shelter hunting. The tedious, grindy manual labor that nobody wants to do can usually get you some currency XD
- Checking the trade forums frequently in general
Tips by Acantha:
First way is surfing the market! Sometimes if you click through some of the tabs in the marketplace you can catch some really good deals then turn them into profit! Ive done this a good amount of times and it really helps.
Second way, and one I do all the time, is looking in the trade forums often! Whether it's people looking for dexes, legends, or random pokes for breeding pairs there's always a demand for something that you might just have laying around in your fields that you have deemed unnecessary!
Third way is flipping through the shelter! Believe it or not the shelter contains more than just eggs and random pokemon! Ive found legends, deltas, and even an albino in the shelter!
The last option im going to add is making breeding pairs! Any random breeding pairs that you can throw together can be turned into profit! I personally don't really use this one but i do know that a 90+% breeding pair can go for around 10 gp just for regular pokemon! Not to mention exclusives/variants could be sold at around 20-30 gp!
Tips by KaiserMeowser
Here's my tip for credits:
You gain Interaction Points every time you interact with Pokémon or eggs.
Giving a Pokémon a berry that it likes gives you the most Interaction Points, which is 7 Interaction Points. Best to mass-click people with nicely berry-sorted fields and feed each Pokémon their preferred berry!
You'll then be able to trade in your Points on the
albino hunting page under the 'Albino Radar' tab. Grab yourself an Albino Radar there. You can buy as many of them as you want! Then, shuffle over to your Inventory and sell the Albino Radar for 125k credits each!
Selling on the Market or in the Trade Threads is also possible but the selling prices there tend to actually be less profitable than when selling through your inventory. It's also much faster ;)
(I'm not done, I'm going to add more, but I'm a bit busy right now and this was all I could get to, as always, any and all advice/tips are appreciated ^^)
