How to unlock Kabuto
To add it to your League, complete all 2 parts of its challenge (Have 25 members in your League; Defeat 8 guardians of the Rocky Desert), then weaken and catch it when it appears in your next run.
- Have 25 members in your League.
Goal: 25 - Defeat 8 guardians of the Rocky Desert.
Goal: 8 - Catch it in your next run.
After the challenge is complete, Kabuto appears in a run. Weaken it and catch it — it only joins your League once it is caught.
"In a single run" goals must be met in one run; the others add up across all your runs. League-size goals count the partners you have caught.
