Watts Farming - Methods

Watts Farming With Pokemon Dens

Den Farming is definitely more lucrative than the Rotom Rally. Towards the endgame, you can easily get 1000-2000W within 5 minutes.

Farm Until All Dens Have Been Depleted

Riding around the Wild Area & collecting all the Den Watts until you've exhausted them, & then finally swapping to the Rotom Rally as a last resort seems to be the best way to earn Watts!

More Raid Stars Mean More Watts

Only 50W

The amount of Watts you get from Pokemon Dens differs with the number of raid stars. See the table below for more details.

Yeah! Different traders have different items!

Blaze 5

u can do 160 (around that maybe 150??) second races too and get a bit more watts

thelastshadow 4

The info about the raid watt gain is very very wrong.
Before being champion:
50 - no raid
300 - raid

Post game:
200 - no raid
2000 - raid

Star means nothing. Please update with right info.

This is wrong, they refresh every day.

I found that the none of these were correct. Quick balls were at the watt trader on giants cap and didn't have any of the other items listed
