Hunt gauge

A hunt gauge indicates the chance of successfully capturing wild granbo in random encounters.

Each wild granbo has its own hunt gauge. The gauge fills as the wild granbo takes damage. If the wild granbo was weak to the attacking element, the hunt gauge fills slightly faster; if it was strong against the element, the gauge fills slightly slower. The gauge depletes if the wild granbo is healed. In addition, certain items and roar techs increase enemies' hunt gauges without dealing damage.

When a wild granbo's hunt gauge turns fills halfway and turns red, there is a low chance of capturing the granbo. When the gauge fills completely and blinks yellow and red, there is a high chance of capturing the granbo.

Depending on the wild granbo's species, certain hunt food or status conditions will put the wild granbo into an increased hunt gauge state for a few turns. While in this state, damage causes the hunt gauge to fill more than normal. This can eventually make the granbo easier to capture.
