Homing
- makes it easier for you to get the kind of egg you want
- Homing happens at the end of a battle when you’ve defeated a monster
- the monster goes back to its nest, which is then marked on your map (on the bottom screen)
- now you can easily find it, and go inside in order to steal the eggs
- the eggs you collect will always be of the same kind as the monster you just battled against
- thanks to Homing, you can easily find the right eggs in order to get a particular monster
- when you enter the nest after Homing, the monster will always be sleeping, but the monster can still wake up at any moment
- Homing doesn’t happen automatically, and you need to meet certain criteria to trigger it

-using a Paint Ball during battle and then defeating a monster within 3 turns greatly increases your chances
