Angree, a tempestuous BiomorphicBeast, morphs as a tree and manipulates its form to confound foes. Doxxis, an alien CelestialGuardian, with celestial energy at its disposal, bestows divine buffs upon its allies while smiting enemies with otherworldly wrath. Metagrosso, the bulkiest of the CyberneticCompanions, utilizes advanced gadgets to control the flow of battle. Nekizal, a cocky LavaLurker, engulfs adversaries with molten fury. Nocturnyx, the elusive ShadowSpecters harness the power of darkness, weaving in and out of the shadows to confound and strike at will. Lastly, Big7, the mighty StoneGolem, an unyielding colossus, relies on rugged defense and earth-shaking blows.
Beyond their diverse move sets, each type of PETS possesses unique abilities tied to their elemental nature. Whether it's a defensive buff, a critical hit bonus, or a status ailment immunity, these abilities add an extra layer of strategy to your team-building and battle tactics.
Engage in thrilling battles, challenge friends, and climb the ranks to become the ultimate PETS champion.
