Capturing Pals
Pal Spheres, capture bonuses and the capture rate of every Pal.
Spheres
Reduce a Pal's Health, afflict it with status effects, or lure it into a trap to increase your chances of capturing it. You can also increase your chances of capturing a Pal by sneaking up on it and throwing a Sphere at it from behind. Craft stronger Spheres to capture powerful Pals.

Capture rate bonuses
A status effect on the Pal adds to the capture rate, and so does a trap that holds it.

|---|---|
| Poison | 0.3 |
| Burn | 0.3 |
| Soak | 0.3 |
| Freeze | 0.3 |
| Electrify | 0.3 |
| Muddy | 0.3 |
| Ivy-Covered | 0.3 |
| Blind | 0.3 |
| Comatose | 0.35 |
| Held by a trap | 0.5 |
The difficulty of a world multiplies the capture rate.

Capture Bonus
You will earn Bonus EXP when you capture a new species. Bonus EXP is also given for the first 5 times you capture a Pal of the same species.
Capture rate multiplier
Every Pal has its own multiplier on the capture rate. A lower number makes the Pal harder to capture.
