About Nexomon: Extinction

---

 

 

The story events of Nexomon: Extinction takes place years after the story of the original Nexomon. Unlike the original game, there are many more starters and new Nexomon's added to the game. It takes onto the old style of the Pokemon games, the ones on GBA, and carries them out on mobile, bringing a wave of nostalgia along your way. The game begins with a backstory where a war is going on between the Nexomons and humanity.

 

This fight ends and introduces "Tamers," people who capture and battle alongside the Nexomon, just like Pokemon trainers. Even though this conclusion has bought peace, people still wonder how long the peace will last. The main character of this game is an orphan and you get to choose your character's skin in the character selection part and thus begin your journey of becoming a tamer.

Nexomon Battles and catching Nexomons:

---

 

 

This is also another feature similar to Pokemon, but with a few extra features added to it. When it comes to battling, you can either battle against other Tamers that would be standing NPCs waiting for you to cross their sight and approach you for a battle. The battle style is similar to that of Pokemon, we have a limit of 6 Nexomons that we can use in our party. Each of them has 4 moves, and unlike Pokemon, we don't have PP or Power Points but a stamina system.

 

Once the stamina ends, you can't use any of your moves and it drains depending on how strong your move is, so use it wisely. You can spend one move to replenish your stamina by pressing the "Zz" icon on the top left corner. It is to be noted that stamina doesn't replenish outside of battles so you need to carry items such as ether for a quick fix. 

When it comes to catching a wild nexomon, you need to walk into the wild grass which is shaking. Once you do, the battle starts. You need to lower the opponent Nexomon's HP or Health Points to catch. But that's not the only factor that will lead to a successful capture. You also need to feed the Nexomon to increase your chances of capturing it. Every Nexomon, just like the starter Nexomons, has a favorite food that can significantly help you.

 

Nexotraps is this game's version of Pokeball which lets you help catch the Nexomon. The difference is that it shows you all of the stats about your chances of catching the Nexomon, including what it's been fed and how much HP it has. There is also a possibility of you encountering a shiny or Cosmic Nexomon and the rates for them are as follows:

Early Game- 1/4000
Mid Game- 1/3500
Late Game- 1/3000
 

Items in Nexomon:

• Special Items - These help you in your overworld needs, like a pickaxe to mine for elemental shards, Running shoes to increase your chances of running from battle, and Secret Sauce which helps you increase the chances of catching a Nexomon after feeding it by 3% more.
• Foods - These are various kinds of food that you can make to increase your catch rate for catching a particular Nexomon.
• Cores - These help you boost a specific stat of a Nexomon. There are different kinds like ATK, Exp, etc.

• Pets - Pets aren't items but a very cute companion to follow along your journey.
