What is the highest capture rate Pal?
Lamball and Chikipi sit at the top of the base-rate table, which is why both are the standard first catches.
Does the capture bonus stack?
Yes — HP, back attack, status and streak bonuses all multiply together.
Can you catch Alphas?
Every Alpha is catchable. They keep their oversized model and stats once caught.
Do capture attempts have a cooldown?
No cooldown, but a failed throw briefly aggros the Pal and resets its status effects.
Is catching ten of the same Pal worth it?
Yes. Ten captures of one species grants a permanent Lifmunk Effigy-style capture bonus for that Pal plus condenser fodder.
