How To Get the Amulet Coin in Pokémon Black & White

Near the 3 dancers that give you the Amulet Coin (Pokémon Black)

You’ll get the Amulet Coin from a trio of dancers in Castelia City. You’ll need to defeat all three dancers in battle one-by-one. Then after each dancer has been beaten, they’ll join together at the Castelia City water fountain and give you the Amulet Coin as a reward.

It’s worth noting that this is the only Amulet Coin you can get in Pokémon B&W.

As for what it does: the Amulet Coin doubles the amount of money you win after defeating a trainer, as long as the Pokémon holding the item participates in the battle.

Amulet Coin Location (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Starting at the Castelia City Pokémon Center, head west along the main road.

How the Amulet Coin Works

In-game details for the Amulet Coin.

The Amulet Coin is a valuable held item that doubles the amount of money you’ll get after defeating a trainer in battle.

But to receive this bonus, the Pokémon holding the Amulet Coin must participate in the battle.

It’s recommended to equip the Amulet Coin as soon as you receive it, since it can boost your bankroll early on in your journey.

Tip: The Amulet Coin can also be stacked with the attacking move Pay Day, which scatters coins equal to twice the Pokémon’s level that used Pay Day.

In Black & White, the only in-game Pokémon that can learn this move is Purrloin and its evolution Liepard. Both Pokémon can only learn Pay Day via breeding.
