# Mechanics The player feeds the Pokemons they see using [biscuits], an item similar to Pokeball. If the [FP] gauge maxes out, the user will then be able to keep that Pokemon, and the [friendship level] will grow by 1. There are some gimmicks, such as [Hungry], [Full], and [Critical Hit] that will affect the outcome of catching a Pokemon. ## Examples Assuming [Natu](https://pks.raenonx.cc/en/pokedex/177) max FP is 5. The player might have one of the following outcomes: ### Outcome 1 (Caught) - Feed Poke Biscuit (FP +1) - Feed Poke Biscuit (FP +1) - Feed Great Biscuit (FP +3) [FL] will increase by 1 starting from the next encounter. [FP] will be 0 in the next encounter. ### Outcome 2 (Caught) - Feed Great Biscuit (FP +3) - Feed Great Biscuit (FP +3) [FL] will increase by 1 starting from the next encounter. [FP] will be 0 in the next encounter instead of 1 even if the total [FP] is 6. ### Outcome 3 (Not Caught) - Feed Poke Biscuit (FP +1) - Feed Poke Biscuit (FP +1) - Pokemon becomes [Full] [FL] will still be the same in the next encounter. [FP] will start from 2 in the next encounter. ### Outcome 4 (Caught) - Pokemon spawned is "[Hungry]". - Feed Poke Biscuit (FP +3 - `1 x 3`) - Feed Poke Biscuit (FP +1) - Feed Poke Biscuit (FP +1) [FL] will increase by 1 starting from the next encounter. [FP] will be 0 in the next encounter. # Tips - **Use Poke Biscuit to catch shiny Pokemon. It is a guaranteed catch using ANY biscuit.** - It is generally **NOT** recommended to catch any evolved form of a Pokemon (Pikachu is probably one of the exceptions) because it does nothing good than catching one baby form and grow from there. # Strategies ## 5 [FP] Pokemon feeding There are a few routes to feed a [FP] 5 Pokemon based on your priority. ### 2 Basic + 1 Great #### Pros - Spends 3 biscuits only. - Allows 2 attempts on B Biscuit, potentially saving a Great Biscuit if [critical hit] happens. #### Cons - Pokemon could get [full] before feeding the 3rd biscuit without event. In this case, if [hungry] lands on the Pokemon in the next encounter, then that [hungry] is wasted. Note the order. It should be 2 Basics then 1 Great, **NOT** 1 Great then 2 Basics. The order matters, because the suggested order will allow 2 attempts for [critical hit]s using Poke Biscuit. It's essentially saving a Great Biscuit because a Poke Biscuit will have the same effectiveness as a Great Biscuit or even better. As a counterexample, If the order goes as 1 Great then 2 Basics instead, [critical hit] of the Poke Biscuit will result in overfed while the suggested order will not. ### 2 Great #### Pros - Pokemon will not get [full], each encounter results in a catch #### Cons - Overfed everytime by 1 [FP]. > We have a plan to implement a feature for evaluating different feeding routes to help the players deciding the feeding route they want to pick. However, it's currently not a priority for us. If you find this useful, please submit a website feedback in our [Discord] so we can raise the priority for this! ## Using Ultra Biscuit / Master Biscuit We recommend using Ultra / Master biscuit only when all of the following conditions are satisfied: - The Pokemon is 16 [FP] or more - You want to rush increasing [FL], or the Pokemon itself is strong enough so worth catching a bunch and pick the best - You are paying the game If any of the conditions are not met, it is generally considered wasteful given the scarcity of Ultra / Master Biscuit.
