Pets & catching / FIELD GUIDE
Catch a pet
First aim. Then tap like your new friend has other plans.
Bring a catching item
Open a wild creature encounter. Choose an available net. You can inspect or switch nets before throwing.
Aim the throw
Use the throwing control to aim at the creature. A missed throw still spends that net. A better throw makes the later struggle easier.
Watch the net
The creature can break free before the tapping phase. If it does, you may get another try while you still have nets and the creature has patience.
TAP when the meter appears
Once the net holds, a red and green meter appears on the right. Tap anywhere on the screen to push green to the top.
Keep green moving
Green at the top means you caught it. Stop tapping and red pushes down. Higher-level creatures fight harder. Better nets and useful lures reduce the struggle.
