Where to Find Nitemary Botan
Nitemary Botan appears via a Variant Spawner at remainsIsland_1, with encounters landing in the level 50-54 range. No exact spawn coordinates are documented on the page, and no alpha or field-boss level is listed for this variant — although a Tribe Boss version does exist if you're hunting a tougher fight. Because it lives among 1.0's newer content, expect the surrounding terrain to be end-game territory, so gear up before you go.
If you'd rather breed one, the combo is documented: Nitemary + Petallia = Nitemary Botan (Unique Combo). That gives you a reliable route to add it to your Paldeck without waiting on the variant spawner.
How to Catch Nitemary Botan
- Bring a Fire team. Grass is weak to Fire on the standard Palworld type chart, so Fire Pals and Fire-element weapons will chew through Nitemary Botan's HP fastest.
- Weaken before you throw. Whittle its health into the red, but avoid landing a killing blow — a low-HP target has a far higher capture rate.
- Apply a status effect. Ailments like being frozen, stunned, or burned raise your odds and buy you a clean throwing window.
- Use high-tier spheres. At level 50-54 you'll want Hyper, Ultra, or Legendary Spheres rather than lower tiers.
- Aim for the back-throw bonus. Landing the sphere on its back grants a capture multiplier — circle behind it before you commit.
Skills & Stats
Nitemary Botan's partner skill, Soul Binder, raises the Defense of all Grass Pals in your party by 15~30% at Lv.1 (it does not stack), making it a strong support anchor for a mono-Grass squad.
Its top active skills are Wind Burst (600), Crosswind (500), Solar Blast (450), and Reflect Leaf (400). The full learnable list runs Wind Cutter (40), Seed Mine (120), Grass Tornado (200), Circle Vine (300), Reflect Leaf (400), Solar Blast (450), Crosswind (500), and Wind Burst (600) — a clean Grass-and-wind kit with no dead slots.
At Level 80, its stats land at HP 5300 - 6620, Attack 670 - 841, and Defense 680 - 869 — a durable frame that pairs well with its own defensive buff. On the base, it contributes Planting Lv3, Handiwork Lv4, and Transporting Lv2.
Practical tips:
- Lead with Fire; Grass falls fastest to it, and it shortens the capture fight considerably.
- Keep a stock of Hyper or Ultra Spheres before heading to remainsIsland_1 — level 50+ targets shrug off weaker balls.
- Slot Nitemary Botan into a Grass party to squeeze full value from Soul Binder's Defense buff.
- Farming? The 100% Medium Pal Soul drop makes repeat captures worthwhile for soul upgrades.
