1. Keep playing through the story!

As you progress through the story mode and defeat the various boss leaders you come across, eventually you’ll be able to claim freebies on the main menu. Just look at the top right corner of the screen. Usually you’ll earn some diamonds, but for completing certain boss levels, you’ll earn 10 shards of a new monster, which means you can summon them right away! Totodile and Squirtle – just to name a few – are gotten through this method. Here’s a tip: if you look in the monster book and look up a way to get a monster, if the only thing mentioned is “obtained from mysterious monster ball,” then you will probably be able to get this monster through playing the story missions.

2. List of all Monsters!

3. Use the Refinery!

In the “melt” building on the main menu, you have access to the Refinery. The refinery can take any monster shard and turn it into a monster stone. Monster stones can be exchanged for other monster shards in the monster store. If you have extra shards of a monster you already have and you don’t plan on upgrading that monster, this is a good way to get different kinds of shards!

So, there you have it. Some tips and tricks on how to get all of the monsters in Monster Tail. If you have any other strategies or secrets to share, leave a comment below!
