More on cross-over(subbreed specific) techs

Monster Rancher Metropolis: Monster Rancher 2 Archive (PSOne): Battles: More on cross-over(subbreed specific) techs
By RNA on Tuesday, April 18, 2000 - 01:01 pm:

Okay, it's time to get some things straightened out about cross-over techniques, so let's start listing off any that seem to come up, shall we? I should get things out of the way now by saying that Fire Breath is NOT a Dragon-Sub-Breed-only crossover move for Zuums. I got it while using a Zuum/Gali combination, so it just can't be. On the other hand, crossover moves CAN be inherited by creatures of the the "wrong" subbreed, as long as a parent of the "right" subbreed had them. I have a KautRoarKaut (Beaclon/Bajarl) descended from a Melcarba (Beaclon/Henger) who knows Fist Missile, because his parent knew it. I also have an Antares (I don't know why I love these specific kinds of Centaurs, I just do. Arrowhead sub-breed for the ignorant) that has Death Thrust, which from the icon alone will tell you should only be used by a Reaper (Centaur/Joker). I could never get my first few Antares monsters to learn it, but as soon as I threw in a Reaper who had learned it...BANG! The coolest-looking Centaur move is mine to plant wherever I please. Keep in mind that this would only apply to Heavy, Withering, Hit, and Sharp Techs, because Special Techs CAN'T be passed on to a new generation. So Death Finale (I THINK that's a Special Tech) can't be passed on from a Lilim to a new breed of Pixie. Sorry.

Anyway, let's start listing the crossover moves we see, hmmm?

*Kato- Gains Lick & Licking from Suezo or Mocchi, and Bolt from Tiger.

*Pixie- Gains Phantom Claw from Kato, and Death Finale from Joker.

*Hopper- Gains Phantom Claw from Kato, and Lightning from Tiger.

*Arrowhead- Gains Cyclone from Golem and Fist Missile from Henger.

*Beaclon- Gains Fist Missile from Henger.

*Golem- Gains Fist Missile from Henger(?).

*Centaur- Gains Death Thrust from Joker (Joker does not have this).

Any others spotted?

someone was saying earlier that ducken inherited eye beam from suezo when you make it a ticken.. actually ducken gets eye beam on its own. -debunk-

oh yeah, and i thought i'd point out that fist missile in arrowheads doesnt need hengers.. Sumopion learns it on his own, and so does priarocks i believe

i know for sure my dao[golem/bajarl] had fist missile, and i think almost all of my golems developed it eventually.

Pixie also gets fire breath from Dragon and 1-2 punch from Hare. Hopppers can get flame as well as lightning...

Its not that attacks are "carried" through species, its the attacks a monster has. A golem has fist missle, so does an arrowhead, golem and I think one other species. Tecmo just didn't rename their attacks for each species like they did in the first one. You can't prove this until I see a hopper with "FLATTENING L" =)

Is it possible that the Hare's bang and big bang are from pixie? I am raising my first hare right now so I haven't tried to get them yet.

Bang and Big Bang are two Special Techs that can only be acquired in the Kawrea Errant (volcano). They are basic specials that ANY Hare can learn.
