Weaken, then throw
A Pal at full health resists the sphere. Chip its health down first; a near-fainted Pal is far easier to catch.
Match the sphere
Basic spheres waste on bosses. Carry a few stronger spheres for rare Pals so you do not fumble a once-in-a-run catch.
Aim the opening
Throw on the Pal’s stun or after its attack wind-up. A moving target misses more often than a recovering one.
Catch with a plan
Do not catch everything. Target Pals that fill a missing element or work role, then breed for the rest.
Know the roster
The Pal database lists skills and sizes for all 302 Pals. Mark the ones worth a good sphere.
Gear up first
The weapon database has the guns you need to weaken big targets. Bring the right tool to the catch.
Status helps
Burn, freeze or stun a target before the throw. A status effect keeps it still and boosts the odds.
Save the spheres
One good sphere beats five wasted ones. Wait for the opening instead of spamming the ball.
