  • Slot 1 pairs Scratch (level 1) with Steam Vent (level 10). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
  • Slot 2 pairs Mudslide (level 2) with Pump (level 15). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
  • Slot 3 pairs Whirlpool (level 4) with Headbutt (level 20). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.

Before leveling this pet for a team, check which of these alternatives your plan needs. Compare its in-game health, power and speed with the requirements of the encounter. A matching ability name alone does not establish that two pets are interchangeable.

How to Obtain

Wild Capture

Wild pets are captured, not looted. Find one in Zuldazar, start a pet battle, bring it below 35% health, then use a trap before finishing the battle.

Where to Find It: Zuldazar

The game data places this pet in Zuldazar but records no spawn coordinates. The gold pins are the zone's own landmarks from the game data, not this pet's spawn points.
