ok, i was trying to combine and get another gali when i combined my gali/tiger with a pure pixie. THe result was a mint with base stats and the 3 techs...but i had raised my gali from that combo. then i combined with other monster a suezo tiger golem and monol and all of them either had improved stats and/or more techs. i combined some more with another pixie and pixie subs to get angels. however whenever i got a MINT, the stats were always basic and so were the 3 techs.

I am wondering if anyone has experienced this and can shed light on it.

I don't recall ever making a Mint, so I may not have ever tried. It is something interesting to look into, though....

well, now i will have to do some more looking into this. when i finish raising my 2nd gali (4 years) i will see what i can turn up on this. My Gali is a gali/tiger and a have a partially raised tiger/pixie that i use in the off week of my method. other wise i will just have to combine pixies with either the tiger or gali.

ps. sorry i didnt respond sooner, but iwasat 6 flags all day yesterday for a field trip.

ok, i think this is right. As for the techs to carry over i believe you must keep one of the 2 main breeds. if you keep the raised breed, you will get more techs to carry over. you will only get a couple the carry over if you get the second breed. As for the stats, i am not sure. But i do have an odd result.

COMBO---
Sapphire(gali/tiger) 51 Comp all techs but Evil Tantrum

Monol OFF CD all stats and techs Basic
I got a BAD COMB?INATION

RESULT---
Gara (Gali/Monol) Base stats, BUT 9 TECHS CARRIED OVER
Fire Wall, Demon Bash, God Anger, Lightning,Demon Punch, Kick, Flame, Scratch, Flash Bomb and Blizzard

Just some data that may or may not prove my theory
