Domestication

=In fanon games=

In Pikmin Evolution
Domestication is the process of taming and breeding wild fauna in Pikmin Evolution for use in settlements. Several creatures in the game can be tamed and brought to settlements so they can perform several functions, some creatures provide rare materials to use, some defend settlements from raids, and some can be taken out of the field for use. Domesticated animals can be summoned via the Creature Call function on your Pikipad, which has the selected creature teleport in so it can perform it's function. Taming animals can be a challenge as it is not always clear which creature is tamable and how you can tame it. Often times you need to make sure to not bring any Pikmin to the vicinity creature as to prevent it from being startled and attack. Some creatures need to be fed certain foods to placate them, requiring you to collect and transport said food with your Pikipad's Item Storage function. After being fed you can catch these placated creatures and bring them to the nearest settlement where they can be regularly fed and bred with fellow species. Sometimes taming creatures are more complicated, as there are moments where you need to wear out enemies in combat without killing them so you can catch and tame them back at the settlement, notable creature that need to be tamed through combat include the Gatling Groink and Wollywog. Regardless of how you tame the creature, domestication allows one to better optimize the production of resources as well as help bolster your defensive core both during raids and during standard expadition.
