Gathering Tips
Minigames
The minigames found in Patapolis can provide an abundance of lower level materials at the cost of some Ka-ching. The quality of the materials gained is based on the minigames' difficulty level and the player's performance.
| Minigame | Materials |
|---|---|
| Ubo Bon the Tree and Pan Pakapon |
|
| Pop Bean the Legume and Fah Zakpon |
|
| Rumble Thump the Baby Mountain and Kon Kinpon |
|
| Fwoosh Famooze the Anvil and Ton Kampon |
|
| Juice Machine and Tsun Tsukupon |
|
Bosses
Bosses will always drop a material when staggered. If the boss is afflicted by a status effect, such as sleep, knockback, or freeze, a stagger will guarantee a level 3+ material. The most effective combination of Rarepons for staggering bosses are Menyokki and Mashu Rarepons. Menyokki Rarepons excel in the CNC, or Stagger, rate. Mashu Rarepons specialize in both Sleep and Knockback rates, making them the most multi-purpose Rarepon for inflicting status effects.
Yumipons are the ideal Class to evolve as they have the greatest range of attack and shoot thrice as fast when in Fever mode. However, a melee squad is viable as they can easily and quickly pick up materials dropped by bosses.

Weps can be found:
