User blog:MrYokaiAndWatch902/Pico Pets: Straightforward Tips

So yeah, Pico Pets. If you really want to master it, you've gotta learn the patterns of your enemies else you go NOWHERE at all. I'm not talking about the Match 3 Pico Pets, it's a strategy game. Unfortunately, you're going to have to face a ton of bizarre-as-heck things, including really strong paper birds which are glass cannons, snowflake flowers which have insane amounts of damage, Eiscue not-ripoffs, lots of bizarre as heck stuff.

The Starters
Initially you get to start off with one of the three starters, being Fire, Plant, and Ice. Incredibly basic stuff. You get to start off with Fyro, Budilly , and Frosbit. Who the heck do I start with? I recommend Frosbit but the other options are fine. You start off with 100 Coins and 25 Gems but you can use microtransactions to buy me, but that's pretty unnecessary. Also if you stumble upon a shiny (rare monster) try and collect it!

The Pets
You start out at 1% with your buddy with 58 Pets to literally catch. Here's the full dictionary. For one thing if you've got one duplicate you can sell for coins that increase your chance of adding pets to your collection or gems which I'm not sure what they even do.

Before I start I wanna go over what the heck stuff go like. Here's the full pet list. Appearances. Ironically, there's another pet which has a defense of three. Here's the relationship table. Fun fact, Orchiduck is my first rare monster. EVER. I almost died two! INSANE LUCK!
 * (HP ) (ATK, SPC , DEF , SPD )
 * The HP of a creature is, well, how much hits they can withstand. ("Your monster's Life.")
 * The ATK of a creature determines how much damage the Attack does. ("Strength of the 'attack' action.")
 * The SPC of a creature determines how much damage the Special Attack does. ("Strength of the 'special attack' action.")
 * The DEF of a creature basically removes some damage. (Damage reduced when receiving all attacks.)
 * The SPD determines who goes first. ("Speed determines who attacks first!")
 * Frosbit  (13 ) (<font color = F62F10>4, <font color = F7E619>4 , <font color = 4083F8>0 , <font color = B6FC29>4 ): The power of ice embodied in big ears, pronounced teeth and fluffiness.
 * <font color = F0E1CC>Roundino  (<font color = F92DF2>13 ) (<font color = F62F10>3, <font color = F7E619>4 , <font color = 4083F8>0 , <font color = B6FC29>3 ): Your regular dino, straight out of a land where all dinos eat pasta.
 * <font color = F0E1CC>Scarycrow  (<font color = F92DF2>14 ) (<font color = F62F10>4, <font color = F7E619>2 , <font color = 4083F8>0 , <font color = B6FC29>2 ): Protecting the crops just wasn't enough. How about haunting humans?
 * <font color = 30F523>Crickleaf  (<font color = F92DF2>12 ) (<font color = F62F10>3, <font color = F7E619>5 , <font color = 4083F8>0 , <font color = B6FC29>5 ): What seems to be a bush might actually be a swarm of Crickleaves resting.
 * <font color = CC9C5A>Terruga  (<font color = F92DF2>14 ) (<font color = F62F10>3, <font color = F7E619>3 , <font color = 4083F8>2 , <font color = B6FC29>1 ): This pet can get easily disguised as a rock. Well, actually, it IS a rock.
 * <font color = 42B3F9>Porquish  (<font color = F92DF2>10 ) (<font color = F62F10>3, <font color = F7E619>7 , <font color = 4083F8>0 , <font color = B6FC29>5 ): A powerful water-type Pico Pet. Don't let its see-throughness and cuteness fool you!
 * <font color = CC9C5A>Marblon (<font color = F92DF2>17 ) (<font color = F62F10>5, <font color = F7E619>3 , <font color = 4083F8>3 , <font color = B6FC29>3 ): Spiky? No coincidence. This legendary pet has the strongest defense of 'em all.
 * <font color = 29FCC9>Frosbit : Snowy Mountain-4
 * <font color = FC7315>Fire  beats <font color = 30F523>Plant and <font color = 29FCC9>Ice.
 * <font color = 30F523>Plant  beats <font color = CC9C5A>Rock and <font color = 42B3F9>Water.
 * <font color = CC9C5A>Rock  beats <font color = 29FCC9>Ice and <font color = FC7315>Fire.
 * <font color = 29FCC9>Ice  beats <font color = 42B3F9>Water and <font color = 30F523>Plant.
 * <font color = 42B3F9>Water beats <font color = FC7315>Fire and <font color = CC9C5A>Rock.
 * <font color = F0E1CC>Neutral is the stand-out.

Battling
You have five actions you can perform but you can't perform all of them at once. These include: <font color = F62F10>Charge Attack, <font color = F62F10>Attack , <font color = F7E619>Special Attack , <font color = 4083F8>Defend , and <font color = B6FC29>Change Monster. A good strategy, is to, well, memorize their pattern. They'll constantly shift patterns so you have to be wary. Then we have an elemental relationship chart.
 * <font color = F62F10>Charge Attack : Makes your Attack do 2x damage.
 * <font color = F62F10>Attack : Simple, do a melee attack.
 * <font color = F7E619>Special Attack : Perform your special. Does 2x damage if the element beats the element. Well, Neutral...
 * <font color = 4083F8>Defend : Blocks an attack.
 * <font color = B6FC29>Change Monster : Just what it says, swap out for another Pico Pet.

Pico Forest
Any Pico Pets in italics means you fight them later in the game. If you win a battle without any of your monsters dying you get a star. The bosses... well, they have different HP, so if they're bolded that means they're the boss of here. They have different stats! Oh yeah, only listing new creatures. Once you beat Level 6 you get to move on.

Oh yeah don't waste your time trying to capture old creatures. Definitely get Porquish and Terruga, they're really nice additions. Literally worth it.
