Monthly Food & Monster Preferences:

Monthly food is only offered on Week 1 of the month. It is an important choice to consider what to feed your monster as they canhave can have more or less beneficial effects for your monster based on their preferences and what you choose to feed them.

• The below shows all monster's baseline preferences.
• A monster’s Likes/Dislikes shown on the Status screen are randomized at birth.
• The preferences on the status screen will override their natural preferences if there is a conflict.
• Liking something on the status screen in addition to liking innately does not provide additional benefit.
• Liking/Disliking "You" does not override the born with Likes/Dislikes items or natural preferences.
• Liking Battle gives you +1 stats to the post-tournament gains. (Disliking Battle gives -1 stats to post-tournament gains)

Active Items

Active Items are items that can be used any week of the month. Many can eventually be purchased at the shop. Some items can be acquired early by winning them from tournaments, or finding on expedition etc.

Shop

• Mango: -10 Fatigue, +1 Fear, +1 Spoil, +1 Form
• Candy: -2 Stress, +1 Spoil, +10 Form
• Smoked Snake: +40% Fear, -20% Spoil, -10 Form
• Apple Cake: -10% Fear, +10 Spoil, +10 Form
• Mint Leaf: -50% Stress, -2 Spoil, -5 Form
• Powder: +5 Fatigue, -24 Form
• Sweet Jelly: +5 Form, -5 Nature Shift
• Sour Jelly: +5 Form, +5 Nature Shift
• Nuts Oil: -28 Fatigue, (-20% Stress*), +1 Fear, +1 Spoil
  (*Stress reduction only for Arrowhead, Henger, and Durahan Main or Sub Breeds)
• Star Prunes: +5 Spoil, +1 Form, +20 Fame
• Magic Banana: An item with a random effect on use. Observe Loyalty in-game to determine which effect is received.
  How Loyalty works: Loyalty = (Fear/2) + (Spoil/2) . Fear and Spoil cap at 100, and cannot drop below 0. When loyalty is at the extreme ranges (close to 0 or close to 100) you will likely only see Loyalty shift a few points.
  PSX version 1999

  Desired effect highlighted

  Fear	Spoil	Form	Lifespan
  +10	+10	-1	-1
  -10	+10	0	0
  -10	-10	+1	+1

  MR2DX version 2021

  Desired effect highlighted

  Fear	Spoil	Form	Fatigue	Stress
  +10	+10	-1	0	-10
  -10	+10	0	-15	-5
  -10	-10	+1	-30	0

  • Desired Effects: For PSX version, 1 Magic Banana will drop loyalty and increase lifespan by 1 week. This must be done every week and will keep loyalty at 0. It is very tedious but you can achieve an immortal monster in this manner.
  • Desired Effects: For MR2DX version, 1 Magic Banana will raise loyalty and and reduce stress by a static amount of 10. Using only 1 per month with the right raising schedule and Gemini Pots, every monster can have access to 3 heavy drills per month without lifespan hits. While this does not extend lifespan, it allows you to do more rigorous training in less time and 75% less save-scumming.

• Troron: +10 POW and +5 SKI on successful drills for the next 4 weeks, -6 Lifespan

Combination Items

These are items that can be used in the Lab when fusing two monsters together. Fusion items have many purposes. Some will unlock new monsters, while others may give breed traits or battle specials.

DNA Capsules:

In NTSC/1999 version for PlayStation, the DNA capsules must be cheated in, as the PocketStation was never released outside of Japan. In MR2DX, the PocketStation mini-game is built into the game and accessed virtually by setting a monster to a "Job" in town, then accessing the mini-game from the Game Start screen option. You must score 225 points (or higher) to be rewarded a random DNA capsule. The color of capsule determines outcome when using as an item while combining two monsters.
Explanation of the PocketStation Mini-Game (Translation from Japanese)

DNA Capsule	MR2 (1999)	MR2DX (2021)
Acquire by:	Use Cheat	Score 225+ Points
Pink	Gentle Mocchi	Gentle Mocchi
Black	ForwardGolem	Dream Golem
White	White Mocchi	White Mocchi

All disc chips persuade combination % outcome to their respective monster/breed, which can also lower the % outcome for other results (which can actually be good, since lower % outcomes can give higher Stat Bonuses if properly aligned), but the breed of the Disc Chip used must be present in at least one of the parent monsters to see this effect.

Things of Note

• Strong Glue: 1999/NTSC - The only way to get the Strong Glue out of your inventory in the original game is to use a Gameshark or cheat device to remove it from inventory.
  2021 MR2DX/JP Ports - You are able to sell the Strong Glue. Even after selling you will continue to make the Ducken dolls instead of the Quack Dolls
• Monster wants [item]: The items your monster will request for a drill have very minor effects like +1 form, -2 form, or -1 stress. For the most part they do the same thing but cost different amounts. None of them are important- they’re just there to cause stress to your monster if you say "No.". Monsters requesting Nuts Oil still receive the full benefit of Fatigue relief (H.A.D. monsters do not get the extra Stress relief from a requested Nuts Oil).

Mundane Items:

You might find these on expedition, or a monster may request them, or even bring them to you etc.
