How to Catch Pets in Imo: Introduction to Pet Capture Methods

Firstly, the most basic method of capture is "approaching and throwing a capture device." This is one of the most intuitive and commonly used methods in the game. When players encounter pets in the wild, they can choose to slowly approach and then use specific items, such as "capture balls" or "energy devices," to try to tame the target. However, directly approaching can easily startle certain sensitive types of pets, causing them to flee or enter a combat state. Therefore, it is recommended that players approach from behind the pet as much as possible, which can effectively increase the success rate of capture and reduce unnecessary resource waste.

Secondly, some highly mobile and easily startled pets are better suited for the "indirect luring" capture method. For example, using the natural environment on the map to lure pets into unfavorable positions. Some pets, when startled, will run around aimlessly, and if they collide with obstacles like rocks, fallen trees, or traps, they will enter a brief dazed state. At this point, if the player immediately approaches and uses a capture device, the success rate will significantly increase. This method not only improves efficiency but also saves on items, though it requires a certain level of understanding and utilization of the terrain.

Additionally, the game provides a "item-assisted capture" mechanism, which is particularly important for capturing rare or high-level pets. Some special items, such as giant fluff balls, sticky bombs, or sleep powder, can play a role in immobilizing, slowing down, or directly putting pets into a capturable state at critical moments. Especially when facing powerful or extremely fast-moving targets, these items are often the key to success or failure. Before undertaking high-difficulty capture missions, players should prepare the necessary items and understand which auxiliary tools different pets are more sensitive to.

Besides the above methods, some pets have more complex trigger mechanisms, such as appearing after completing specific side quests or refreshing at special locations during certain time periods. Such "conditional pets" are often very powerful or possess unique skills, and it is recommended that players read the pet guide or gather intelligence thoroughly before attempting to capture them. Meanwhile, some pets have taming mechanisms in combat, where they can only be captured with specific items after their health has been weakened. This method of capture is more challenging and tests the player's operational rhythm and resource management skills.
