You can get better Monster genes in Monster Hunter Stories 3 by gathering rare eggs or through the Rite of Channeling. Find out how these two methods result in better Monster genes here!

How to Get Better Monster Genes

Gather Rare Eggs

First, you can get Monsters with better genes by gathering rare eggs from Monster Dens. Rare eggs are described as either very potent or highly potent when you pick them up.

How to Get Rare Eggs

Look for Rare Dens

You're more likely to find rare eggs from Rare and Super Rare Dens, which are colored yellow and blue, respectively. These will also appear in your map, so you can easily find these Rare Dens and fast travel to Catavan Stands near them.

Raise Your Ecosystem Rank

Through Habitat Restoration, you can also increase your Ecosystem Rank for certain species. By raising a specie's ecosystem rank, you'll also be more likely to find rare eggs of that specie in Monster Dens within the area where you're restoring them.

Transfer Genes Using Rite of Channeling

As you progress through the story, you'll also unlock the ability to use Rite of Channeling in the Stables. This will allow you to transfer genes between two of your Monsties. Specifically, you can take good genes from your spare Monsties and add it to your optimized Monsties.

Raise Monstie Level or Use Catalyst Key

Some gene slots are locked, preventing you from transferring more genes to a Monstie. To unlock these, you must either level up a Monstie, which unlocks a gene, or use Catalyst Keys, which opens up a free gene slot.
