How to Get Hoocrates
Hoocrates is Dark, so a Dragon attacker takes it down fastest — and a Pal it resists will drag the fight long enough for it to heal or flee.
Wild Hoocrates spawn between level 4 and 22. The higher end resists spheres noticeably harder, so it is worth hunting the low-level spawns for your first catch and saving the high ones for a condenser stack.
Its capture rate is 1.0, which makes it dead average, which makes the back-strike bonus worth lining up before you throw.

Wild Hoocrates Level Range
Wild Hoocrates roam at level 4–22 out in the world — plan your spheres and party level around that before hunting one on the interactive map.
Where to Find Hoocrates
Hoocrates spawn locations in the wild — every marked spot is a known spawn area.
Most of them are around Deep Bamboo Thicket (14.1% of known spots), with smaller pockets near Sea Breeze Archipelago Church and Sealed Realm of the Swordmaster. They come in groups of up to 2, so plan sphere stock for more than one.
Dungeons Hoocrates Appears In
Besides its wild habitat, Hoocrates turns up inside 2 caverns, and takes the boss chamber in 2 of them. Caverns are the reliable option when the overworld roll is not going your way.
the boss chamber fight is level 10–13, and ordinary cavern spawns run level 6–9.
Best Hoocrates Build
Hoocrates shines as a base worker. The passives below push that strength as hard as possible — hunt them through catches, breeding or implants.
Partner skill: Dark Knowledge — condense duplicates to Rank 5 to max it out.
