<includeonly>=</includeonly>==Choosing Your Attitude==<includeonly>=</includeonly>
I get this question a lot, and I AM willing to give you my thoughts. However, here are my general strategies on deciding, to help you be more independent.
First, use the third link from the top to open the Base Stats list, or it can be viewed after hitting "Calculate" on the IV Checker by looking in the top upper right.
Second, you must know what they do. What is their [[Attack]]? Their [[Technique]]? Their [[Soultimate]]? Their [[Inspirit]]? What is their special [[Skill]]?
Here are some brief guidelines to help you choose your levelling (stat-gaining) Attitude:
*Pure Physical Attackers should look at [[Rough]] ([[Strength]]+), [[Twisted]] (Strength and [[Speed]]), or [[Cruel]] (Speed+). Twisted and Cruel can only be used if they have an enemy-targeting debuff Inspirit. I generally like to keep their Strength and Speed about even, and pick my Attitude accordingly. [[Devoted]] (Strength and [[Defense]]) is a favorite of mine for slower, tank-focused Yo-kai. Helpful (HP and Speed) is an option if Speed is severely lacking and Twisted/Cruel aren't available.
*Pure Spirit Attackers should look at [[Logical]] ([[Spirit]] and Speed), [[Brainy]] (Spirit+), or sometimes [[Cruel]] ([[SPD]]+). Logical is very strong and easily accessible and will almost always be the main choice. Brainy is good for high-Speed but low-Spirit Yo-kai, while Cruel is good for high-Spirit but low-Speed Yo-kai.
*Mixed Attackers should be looking at Logical (Spirit and Speed), Twisted (Strength and Speed), or Cruel (Speed+). In general, a mixed attacker will benefit more from MORE attacks rather than boosting ONLY ONE damage stat, so Cruel should be the first choice if it's available.
*Healers need Speed more than anything else, more timely heals are MUCH more important than bigger healing numbers. So instead of focusing on Spirit, focus on Speed. If they have a debuffing Inspirit, then PERFECT, give them Cruel (SPD+), otherwise you're going to have to go with Helpful (HP and SPD).
*Avoid [[Grouchy]] ([[HP]] and Strength), [[Gentle]] (HP and Spirit), and [[Tender]] (HP+) for levelling. Those are generally weak, even with HP's boost. Defense is an overall superior stat to raise, mostly because more HP means more that needs to be healed by your healers, while more DEF lessens the burden on them.
<includeonly>=</includeonly>==Set IVs For Storyline Yo-kai==<includeonly>=</includeonly>
Good news, soft-resetters! Storyline/event Yo-kai do NOT need to be soft-reset. Pretty much any Yo-kai that you don't catch yourself in battle or get out of the Crank-a-kai has set IVs. The IVs are a perfectly even spread:
HP 16 / STR 8 / SPR 8 / DEF 8 / SPD 8
I've been doing a lot of research so I don't have a comprehensive list, but here so far is a list of confirmed Yo-kai who join you during the story/a cutscene/a quest who have set IVs:
*[[Jibanyan]]
*[[Brushido]]
*[[Hungramps]]
*[[Select-a-Coin]] [[Roughraff]]/[[Manjimutt]]/[[Tattletell]]
*[[Select-a-Coin]]+ [[Buchinyan]]/[[Noko]]/[[Komasan]]
*[[Swelton]]
*[[Baddinyan]]/[[Thornyan]]
*[[Baku]]
*[[Tongus]]
*[[Mirapo]]
*[[Miradox]]
*[[Lie-in]]/[[Slicenrice]]
*[[Gnomey]]
*[[Faux Kappa]]
*[[Pallysol]]
*[[Predictabull]]
*[[Mermaidyn]]
*[[Harry Bear]]
*[[Spoink]]
*[[Brokenbrella]]
Note that I just got Brokenbrella in my game, there are many more to come but my list stops here for that reason.
Please note that this doesn't mean that EVERY Swelton, EVERY Lie-in etc has set IVs. This only refers to the Yo-kai the game gives you due to story/event. Wild, or Crank-a-kai Yo-kai of the same name still have randomized IVs.
