Prey
Prey gives you a bonus against one specific Pokémon species: more experience, more Attack, a better catch chance, more loot or a better chance to dodge its attacks. You have 6 slots, and each one is activated by spending 1 Prey Wildcard.
Bonuses
Each slot holds one species and one of these five bonuses, which only counts against that species. For example, with an Experience Prey on Bulbasaur, every Bulbasaur you defeat gives you 30% more experience.
Experience
+30% experience for every Pokémon of the species you defeat.
Attack
+30% Attack against the species.
Catch Chance
+30% chance to catch the species.
Loot
+25% loot from the species.
Dodge
+5% chance to dodge the species’ attacks.
Note: The bonuses do not work against the Shiny version: a Bulbasaur Prey does not affect Shiny Bulbasaur.
How to activate a Prey
Press the Prey button in the top menu. The Pokémon Prey window opens; it also shows how many Prey Wildcards you have.
On an empty slot, press «Select Prey».
Pick the species in «Select Pokémon». The list has a search box and only shows the species that accept Prey.
In «Confirm Prey», pick the bonus and click «Confirm». Hovering over each bonus shows its in-game text: «+30% Experience», «+30% Attack», «+30% Catch Chance (Don’t work on Shinies)», «+25% Loot» and «+5% Dodge Change» (spelled «Change» in the game).
Note: A species cannot be in two slots at once: you cannot have Experience and Loot on Bulbasaur at the same time.
How long it lasts
A Prey has no fixed duration: it stays active until it reaches its goal of 1,000 progress points, with no time limit, and keeps your progress even while you are offline. Each slot shows the species, the bonus, your progress (for example, 350/1000) and how much is left. Until it reaches the goal or you remove it, the bonus keeps working against the normal species. It ends in one of these cases:
It reaches 1,000 points without the lock on.
You remove it (only possible while it is not locked).
It reaches 1,000 points with the lock on, but you have no Prey Wildcards left to renew it.
Lock and renewal
The lock does two things: it stops you from removing the Prey by mistake, and it renews it automatically. When it reaches 1,000 points, it starts again with the same species and bonus and spends 1 Prey Wildcard. If you have none left, the Prey ends and the slot is freed.
A Prey without the lock can be removed at any time; the «Remove Prey» window asks you to confirm.
Getting Prey Wildcards
Every activation and every renewal spends 1 Prey Wildcard, so with 6 locked slots you spend up to 6 each time they all complete their goal. These are the usual sources:
