How to Obtain
Wild Capture
Wild pets are captured, not looted. Find one in Burning Steppes, start a pet battle, bring it below 35% health, then use a trap before finishing the battle.
Lava Beetle: ability choices and unlocks
The table connects Lava Beetle to its recorded abilities, grouped by combat slot. Open an ability to inspect its effects and other pets with the same move.
| Ability | Slot | Unlock level |
|---|---|---|
| Burn | Slot 1 | 1 |
| Flank | Slot 1 | 10 |
| Hiss | Slot 2 | 2 |
| Cauterize | Slot 2 | 15 |
| Scorched Earth | Slot 3 | 4 |
| Apocalypse | Slot 3 | 20 |
- Slot 1 pairs Burn (level 1) with Flank (level 10). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
- Slot 2 pairs Hiss (level 2) with Cauterize (level 15). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
- Slot 3 pairs Scorched Earth (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.
