Pay Day (Japanese: ネコにこばん Coin for a Cat) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I and is Meowth's Signature move.
The Japanese name of Pay Day is a Japanese proverb akin to Pearls Before Swine.
Effect
Generations I-II
Pay Day does damage, and scatters coins on the ground with a value equal to twice the user's level for each time it's used. These coins are picked up afterwards if the player wins the battle.
Generation III
Same as above, except the move scatters coins equal to five times the user's level each time. The Amulet Coin now doubles the number of coins picked up.
Due to a glitch in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the wrong amount of money will be displayed if the Amulet Coin is held, leaving the impression that it does not affect Pay Day. Yet, upon checking the Trainer card, the player will discover that the money earned from Pay Day has been doubled and added to their total savings. This error was fixed in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and all subsequent games.

Same as above, except now the Luck Incense also doubles the amount of money picked up.

In other generations
Trivia
- In Generation I, Pay Day was one of only three methods (the other two being Elite Four rematches and selling items obtained through a glitch) for players to earn money once all Trainers were defeated. Further generations introduced areas in which rematches could be held, decreasing the usefulness of this move.
