	Because recruited monsters will hit their level caps long before 100, with a star mark serving as the indicator, it is important to consider raising this ceiling with each generation. The calculation for this is '''("plus" value x 2) + the breed's natural limit'''.		Because recruited monsters will hit their level caps long before 100, with a star mark serving as the indicator, it is important to consider raising this ceiling with each generation.

	In the event of two "plus" monsters being bred, only the pedigree's value is added. For example, a [[~~Dracky~~]]+10 bred with a [[~~Lips~~]]+8 and both monster's level sum is 100, then the egg will have a "plus" value of 15 instead of 23.		In the event of two "plus" monsters being bred, only the pedigree's value is added. For example, a [[dracky]]+10 bred with a [[lips]]+8 and both monster's level sum is 100, then the egg will have a "plus" value of 15 instead of 23. The maximum "plus" value is 99.

	===Resistance reinforcement===		===Resistance reinforcement===
	Careful breeding can improve a monster's innate elemental and status ailment resistances, superseding a breed's vulnerability if the "plus" value is high enough. For example, assume that both the pedigree and partner monsters have total immunity to [[Zap]]. In this case, if the resulting egg's breed is typically fully vulnerable to lightning but it's "plus" value is over +20, then the egg will instead have a ~~weak~~ resistance. If this same hypothetical monster's breed naturally had a ~~weak~~ resistance to Zap to begin with, and the "plus" value was over +40, then the added resistance would be bolstered to a strong resistance.

For example, assume that both the pedigree and partner monsters have total immunity to [[Zap]]. In this case, if the resulting egg's breed is typically fully vulnerable to lightning but it's "plus" value is over +20, then the egg will instead have a minor resistance. If this same hypothetical monster's breed naturally had a minor resistance to Zap to begin with, and the "plus" value was over +40, then the added resistance would be bolstered to a strong resistance.

	In short, a monster can be given a ~~weak~~ resistance to all attributes in the game if the player is patient enough and plans ahead before breeding. This system does not allow for turning strong resistance into full blown immunity though, preventing players from creating teams of "artificial" [[~~Metal~~ slime]]s.

			Monsters will mate and leave behind an [[Monster eggs\|egg]] before returning to the wild. The player has the option to hatch it right away, but taking it to the [[Egg Evaluator]] and having it assessed will reveal it's sex, inherited abilities, it's resistances, and how quickly or slowly it will level up.
