Slimes

So i've been seeing all these slime monsters in normal mode. and i can't seem to catch them. what do you do with them? how do you get them and what do they even do?

You catch them like any other monster, they are used for enhancing other monsters you may have. each colour represents a stat it boosts.
ex; fire enhances phys. attack
plant enhances health
etc....

Thats odd. every time i find one it won't let me catch it. there is no "Seal" button or anything.

on the map, if you see a purple lined battle icon space, those are "forced to stop" spaces. Those spaces has either a boss or mini boss at last battle round and you will not be able to "catch any monster" in those spaces.

Any regular white battle icon spaces, you can catch like normal.

yeah it sucks to see them at mini boss or when you are on a dual duel map

even worse, critical hitting them, happened to me at least 3 times

I find they go down on 1 hit so I have a Blade of Mercy equipped monster with me at all times. It let's me get them to 1 hp without killing so I can cap easier.

Also since regular monsters boost a variety of stats and Slimes super boost only one stat, I try to only use Slimes to boost when I have one of each Slime to boost every stat. Otherwise I am wasting monsters boosting other stats to catch up.
