Never open with the top tier
Throw the cheapest sphere that clears a blue ring. Material saved is more catches per hour.
Catch ten of everything
Ten catches of a species grants permanent bonuses, including capture power, and it feeds condensing later.
Legendary Spheres are for Alphas
Save them for Alpha and Legendary Pals like Jetragon, Frostallion and Paladius, where a failed throw costs a respawn cycle.
Watch the kill threshold
Overkill destroys the catch. Swap to a low-damage weapon for the last hits.
Night and weather
Nocturnal spawns and storm-only spawns are frequently the cheapest way to complete a Paldeck entry.
