Menasting Min and Max Stats (IVs) For Every Level

Hidden IV Stat Values for Pals

IVs are hidden stats each Pal has for each stat that randomizes their HP, Atk, and Def to a specific range. Having 0 IV for a stat means the Pal gets a 0% bonus, while having the maximum 100 IV gives a 30% bonus to the respective stat.

For example, if two Lamballs have the same passives and buffs, the Lamball with the higher HP IV will always have a higher HP pool.

A Pal's IVs cannot be altered but can be used to influence its child's IVs through breeding. Therefore, breeding is an excellent option to pass a parent's high IV and favorable Passive Skills to obtain a Pal with the highest IVs possible with the preferred Passive Skills.

List of Grass Element Type Pals

Fight with a Powerful Grass Pal

Menasting is an Ground/Dark Element Pal and is therefore weak to Grass pals. Utilize this information to exploit its weaknesses to Grass by battling with a Grass-element Pal.

Use your Grass Pal to distract Menasting and allow your active Pal to take most of the damage while damaging Menasting with your weapons.

The Menasting field boss is around Level 44, so bringing a Grass-element Pal that is at least Level 40 should be enough to defeat them.

Seed Mine is Recommended

The Grass-element skill, Seed Mine, is an effective move to use as it covers a large range which deals significant damage against Menasting.

Increase Capture Rate using Statues of Power

If you wish to capture Menasting, try collecting as many Lifmunk Effigies as possible to increase your capture rate. Menasting is a powerful Pal, so make sure to bring higher grade Spheres.
