A species is a kind of monster a Tamer can bind. Ordinary field monsters with a species entry can be bound in the wild; extra Lv 5 species appear only in the Tamer Arena.

What a species has

  • An element (Tamer Elements and Statuses). Each element shapes stats: Fire and Lightning are fast special attackers, Ice is a slow physical wall, Poison and Holy are sturdy against magic, Dark hits hard physically, Water has the most HP and is slowest, Neutral is even.
  • A rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare or Boss-kin. Rarer monsters are harder to bind and give more EVs (1 for Common, 2 for Uncommon or Rare, 3 for Boss-kin).
  • A level at which it is met in the wild.
  • A list of moves it learns as it levels.
