I'm not really sure. I think its about 400 to 500 base stats.

What I do is get the monster's stats as high as I possibly can, which means training and competing till I get the "warning: monster cannot survive longer", and their age is listed as "lasty", which I presume to mean "on their last legs" or "about to die". You can sometimes get another few weeks out of them, but death is imminent. Usually by this point, my monsters are in the 700-800 range, easily. So I train two separate monsters up till this point, then fuse them with whatever item I want, and end up with a new baby monster of the type that I wish and better stats than before.
I'll point out that training multiple generations is probably not necessary, as I have easily gotten into the 900-999 stat range from a second-generation monster with a bit of care. Hint: you can use a few training items like mega proton and whatever, but don't overdo it. Also, train a lot, using the weaker single and dual-stat items; the bigger ones are almost never worth it unless one particular stat needs quick catching up, and the ones that raise two or three stats while dropping one or two...just don't bother. They tire out your monster too fast for the overall benefit, IMO.

And is stretching better than resting?
In my opinion, it actually is.

Just raised a monster to five years and one months of age--it may have been able to live longer but I used a health and reflex booster on it which may have shortened its life a bit. No stat boosters or anything, just train, train, train and rest. Too much training can actually make the monster get thin, which isn't something you want to happen if possible. I'll try raising a monster to lasty, then using the two monthly stat boosters to boost stats in preparation for fusion.

@Morokuma, one way I can produce bug 7 is by submitting the first monster in the save to the arena. It gives that bug then kicks me out of the game.
And for the competition, I think having an option to toggle between having it played and not played would be better, since some competitions can be automated and I can leave it running in the background with volume turned low and do something else at the same time. That way, people don't have to worry about switching windows back and forth. I autorun most of the competitions anyway when I can't focus.

Same, actually. Colossium and contest are better manually operated. Marathon and flag race are both super long sometimes.

Thanks seconded. It's awesome to have a developer who listens to feedback and acts on it whenever possible.

Hi:

I'm using the latest update, but the installed version still says 1.21. Should I install the latest update from the website so it shows I have the latest version?

yo.
Thanks a lot, it helped. Trying the new ver out!

I'm sure your monster has a "Fighting spirit".
Monsters with a "Fighting spirit" will not jump over them as they will not be affected by hitting logs.

How to heck, if mine have fighting spirit?

Hi! loving the update so far. i was already writing this message but i pressed something accidentally and updated the page.
I don't know if the translation dictionary was updated before, but the last update of it also is great. before, monster species were pixy, goblin, and others. now, it says dark, fairy, fighting, rock, and that really surprised me.
I said in other topic that coliseums reminds me to Pokémon, and with this change, it is more apropiate!
This game's great and is geting more great with every update.
