Catching Quick Tips

  • • Charge your Energy, then use damage abilities to weaken wild Brainrots before throwing a box.
  • • One-shotting weak wilds is often faster EXP/minute than long battles.
  • • Higher-rarity and higher-level Brainrots pay more when defeated or caught.
  • • Keep your party alive — fainted Brainrots earn zero EXP. Teleport to a Rot Lab to heal.
  • • Use the zone-correct Rot Box tier for better catch rates on rarer species.
