How to Obtain

Wild Capture

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

Beetle: ability choices and unlocks

The table connects Beetle to its recorded abilities, grouped by combat slot. Open an ability to inspect its effects and other pets with the same move.

Recorded moveset for Beetle. Levels refer to the pet.

ApocalypseSlot 320
  • Slot 1 pairs Scratch (level 1) with Flank (level 10). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
  • Slot 2 pairs Hiss (level 2) with Survival (level 15). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
  • Slot 3 pairs Swarm (level 4) with Apocalypse (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.
