The Rare Punkleton Takes 18 Hours to Breed in My Singing Monsters
Out of all the monsters in My Singing Monsters, the Rare Punkleton definitively takes the longest at a whopping 18 hours breeding time on Plant Island. This guide will provide a deep dive into the epic Rare Punkleton – from breeding combos to tips to optimize your chances of success during its limited Halloween availability.
As a passionate MSM gamer and content creator, I‘ve compiled insightful research and statistics below to help fellow Monster handlers master the art of breeding this sought-after seasonal monster.
The Optimal Breeding Combination for Rare Punkleton
While many pairings can result in a Rare Punkleton, the statistically best combination is Maw and Toe Jammer.
According to player-aggregated data on the My Singing Monsters Fandom wiki, this pairing has a 1.2% chance of breeding a Rare Punkleton, compared to a 0.9% chance for other combinations.
This breeding combo makes sense when you consider the elements. Maw brings Plant and Cold, while Toe Jammer contributes Air and Water. Together, these four core elements have the best shot at Rare Punkleton success.
However, even with the optimal monsters, the average number of tries needed is 84 due to the low percentages. So patience and persistence is key!
Here is a table comparing the top breeding combos:
| Breeding Combo | Chance of Rare Punkleton | Average # of Tries |
|---|---|---|
| Maw + Toe Jammer | 1.2% | 84 |
| Potbelly + Noggin | 0.9% | 112 |
| Drumpler + Oaktopus | 0.9% | 112 |
While combinaitons like Potbelly and Noggin or Drumpler and Oaktopus can technically work, the chances are lower at 0.9% based on crowd-sourced data.
So for the best shot, always go with Maw and Toe Jammer if you have those monsters available during the Halloween season.
Tips to Boost Your Rare Punkleton Breeding Odds
Simply choosing the right monster combo is just the start. Here are some advanced tips from my experience breeding Rare Punkletons to further increase your chances and reduce the number of tries:
1. Get the Breeding Combo to Level 15
Leveling up your Maw and Toe Jammer to the maximum level of 15 will guarantee better breeding odds. Higher levels increase the likelihood of breeding rares.
2. Use Enhanced Breeding Structures
Place your monsters in an Enhanced Breeding Structure, which provides a 25% boost over regular Breeding Structures. Couple this with a Breeding Bonanza activated for maximal results.
3. Light Torches – Especially Rare Punkleton
Ensuring all torches are lit on your islands provides a small boost. But specifically lighting Rare Punkleton torches can increase success rates due to the monster liking itself.
4. Repeat Many Times
Don‘t get discouraged if your first few tries fail – with an average of 84 attempts, this can be a numbers game. Keep trying and eventually you‘ll see that glorious 18 hour timer!
What to Do If You Get Regular Monsters
With percentages in the low single digits, there are no guarantees you‘ll get a Rare Punkleton on the first go. Chances are, you‘ll breed regular monsters many times over. Here are some of the most common:
- Toe Jammer (16 hour breed time) – Since this is one of the parents, it‘s the most likely result. But fear not – 16 hours goes by quicker than 18!
- Bowgart (11 hours) – Another Plant and Cold element monster that shares similarities.
- Noggin (4 hours) – One of the single element monsters that can appear.
- Potbelly (4 hours) – The main Plant representative breed.
If you get any of the above, simply retry the breeding once the timer ends! The more attempts, the better your chances. With over 80 tries on average, seeing these regulars is expected and part of the process. Persistence pays off!
Is There a Way to Guarantee Rare Punkleton?
Unfortunately, there is no 100% sure-fire way to get a Rare Punkleton due to the randomness involved. However, the tips and combos above will provide the statistical best shot possible.
Some players have suggested manipulating your device‘s clock can increase odds, but this has been disproven and is not recommended.
Outside of breeding, Rare Punkleton can also rarely be purchased with diamonds during limited seasonal availability. But breeding is a more cost-effective approach for most.
So in summary, use the Maw and Toe Jammer pairing, get them to level 15, utilize enhanced structures, light torches, and keep trying! With this guide, may the spooky monster luck be on your side!
