Most of you know that sticking an amulet coin on a pokemon and makings use of O-powers can reward you with a nice sum of money. I'd like to share an effective way to make use of your O-powers to earn the big bucks in the Elite 4 in a short amount of time.
First off, O-powers last for 3 minutes (unless you like taking your DS for walks in the morning) and at lvl 3 the prize-money one cost 6 to use. With prize money power active + the amulet coin you're looking at 385,920 pokedollars per E4 run. However, with only 10 O-power charges and ~6min individual reacharge rate it seems hard to have a prize-money power active for all 5 fights.
Here's the main idea...
O-power effects last until the end of a battle regardless if their time may run out during the batte, so what if you could activate it just before a fight then wipe an E4 member out, run and start the next battle all within 3 minutes? Doing so you can rake up 156,000 pokedollars in ~6mins work. You're going to be sitting on 5 O-power charges left, so what you can do is either use a lvl 2 one and take on the next two members to earn 104,000 or wait another 6 mins (use gts, wonder trade or take a short break) and go again.
Here's the method...
Spend your cash wisely!
Feel free to ask me if you have any questions :)
Happy farming!

Spoiler:
You'll need high lvl pokemon, amulet coin, lvl 3 prize-money power and battle animations OFF
- I use my lvl ~85 Greninja with amulet coin to start with. Just before Malvas fight I activate the O-power then proceed to ohko all her mons.
- I then run like hell to Wikstrom* and activate his fight before the O-power ends. Once he is defeated (no need to rush his fight) you'll have a nice 156K cash, 72k from each. (*note I fight him last because I find he takes longer to defeat)
- Now I take a break, maybe go on gts, do some wonder trading (cause you know, who's isn't addicted to some WT ;)) Then start on Seibold when I have 6 charges up. (should take ~6mins)
- Here I lead with my Sylveon (lvl ~90) who now has the amulet coin. I activate my O-power and proceed once again to take everything out as fast as possible then run over to Drasna* before the power ends (*Drasna has that little dialogue thing after her fight, which is why I fight her second).
- After this it's about another 30mins until you can use lvl 3 prize-money power again. I may usually go do something else, or alternitavely you can just take her on without the power and still earn a decent sum of cash.
