In combining, save and reset until you get the monster you want and it likes TABLETS. Very important. Mint leaves, mint leaves, mint leaves!

Monsters that are too fat or too slim have shorter lifespans. Try to keep it at normal.

Nuts oil, nuts oil, nuts oil!

If you're not using one item every week (No drugs, of course), then you're wasting time.

Course, you have to be rich, first.

Try combining to get higher stats, although raising is generally what matters most. Combining will also help you get offspring that start off with more moves so you don't have to go to those nasty errantries which don't even raise stats that much.

Battle only when desperate for money or raising rank. Mint leaves are a better way to reduce stress since you lose life span when you get so much as scratched during battle.

Remember, if you're doing a "no rest" training schedule through lots of mint leaves and nuts oils, feed your monsters candy every once in a while so he doesn't get too thin.

Tablets every month. That's why you need a monster that likes tablets.

That's about everything quickie summarized, I hope.

All monsters have two major stats. train the higher one as long as it takes to max it out. then, if you have time left,train its secondary stat.DO NOT let it die,freeze it young if you have to. do the same with another of the same type then combine them. the offspring have 400-600 in the previously maxed stat making easier to raise it to 999 which allows you to spend more time on the secondary stat and you can max that out.

The Class C Cash Cow is a solid principle for getting a good monster. Get a monster you like (from CD don't use a 2nd gen) to class C so that he rocks in every fight. Don't advance farther, just fight to earn money. Then raise your contender on the off weeks. Don't fight with him any more than to go up in rank or train a move. Also Fight in bigger tourneys with more contestants (Officials, New Year's, Hero/ Heel) since your monster will get just as tired from a big fight as a small one and you will get more chance to practice too. If you run low on cash bring out the cash cow to fight once or twice, then raise so

So it was actually proven that a slim or skinny monster can have a shorter life length then a normal monster? Cause i've had a skinny 1st gen. Joker live over 6 years without any peaches, he started out skinny and he stayed that way his whole life, so your saying he could have lived longer? Could I see some proof? Just asking.

I have noticed that whatever body condition your monster starts out with seems to be the one it does best with. I had a slim pixie and she always did best at slim rather than normal.

Miss Carrie, maybe it's because you keep feeding your pixie cup jellies? Cup jellies decrease weight. I want to see the evidence about the effects of skinny/plump as well. I usually try to keep my monsters normal because I don't want to deal with the consequences, if any.

Miss Carrie, are you saying that a first gen monster of a cd started out as slim? Or a combined monster started off slim? I have noticed that the weight of the parent monsters is passed onto the children, but I can't remember a cd monster that started off slim or fat. I keep my monster's weight at normal fearing lifespan consequences.
