The Basics
What is GachaMon
GachaMon is a fun addition to the IronMON Tracker that let's you collect cards for Pokémon that you catch while playing the game. It's not a new game mode or ruleset, but rather a side game that works in the background while you play.
Capturing GachaMon Cards
GachaMon cards can be obtained by catching Pokémon and looking at their stats on the Tracker. Once you look at a Pokémon, the Tracker can use that Pokémon's stats, moves, ability, etc. to create a unique GachaMon card for it. This process is called "capturing a GachaMon."
After capturing a new GachaMon, a message will appear at the bottom of the Tracker for a brief time. If you click on the message, it will show you a GachaMon Card Pack which you can open. Opening the pack will reveal the GachaMon card for the Pokémon!
Note: If you prefer to see the GachaMon card pack opening first before looking at the Pokémon's stats and info, you can enable this Option in the GachaMon screen overlay.
You can see all the GachaMon cards you've captured in the GachaMon overlay on the Tracker (click the Stars, or go to Settings > Extras > GachaMon Collection).
Note: Newly captured GachaMon cards are NOT added to your Collection by default. See Keeping Cards in Collection for more information.
Viewing a GachaMon Card
GachaMon cards show cool information about the Pokémon.
The card itself is fairly simple, it shows:
- Its Star Rating
- Its Battle Power
- The Pokémon Image
- Its Ability
- Its Name
- Its Types (color of the card frame)
- Its Stat Spread (dashes next to the name)
Additionally, each GachaMon card records extra information about itself and the game it was used in:
- Its Nature
- Its Level when captured
- Its numerical Rating value
- When it was collected (Date, Game, Seed #)
- Its Stats when captured
- Its Moves when captured
All of this information about the GachaMon card is locked in at the time of capturing it. The card is a permanent collection piece. It won't change if your Pokémon learns new moves, but you can see what it would look like by clicking the "Up+Down" arrow next to the card's version number.
GachaMon cards will also show how many Gym badges its associated Pokémon collected during the game. If it beats the game, a ribbon will be shown on the GachaMon card!
Keeping GachaMon Cards in Collection
GachaMon includes a Collection system, a way to permanently keep any cool or awesome GachaMon cards that you've captured as you play. Typically, you may not want to keep every GachaMon card you see, as some aren't that exciting or impressive enough.
To keep a GachaMon card in your collection:
- Go to the Captures tab in the GachaMon screen overlay.
- Click on the card you want to keep
- Then click "Add to Collection"
GachaMon cards marked for "Add to Collection" will show with a green checkmark on the Captures screen. These will be added to your collection when you begin a new seed (use the New Run feature: A + B + START)
Some GachaMon cards will automatically be added to your Collection:
- Any Pokémon that defeats 2 or more trainers, its GachaMon card will be added
- Any shiny/holo GachaMon card
- Any GachaMon prize card obtained from defeating trainers
You can also have it automatically add GachaMon cards for any new Pokémon species that you capture. This is an Option you can enabled if you want an easier time completing your GachaDex.
The GachaDex
The "GachaDex" is essentially a PokéDex but for GachaMon cards. It will record all GachaMon cards you've seen (captured) as well as show which ones you've kept in your Collection. Try and collect 'em all!
- Magnifying Glass to peek/reveal all missing GachaMon
- Seen GachaMon cards are captured but not kept in Collection
- Coll. GachaMon cards are currently in your Collection
- Completion percentage as the % number
Note: You can use the mouse wheel to quickly scroll up-and-down the GachaDex; it also works anywhere else on the Tracker!
