A [[wild-card]] is a very rare pinata that is created while performing a regular romancing process.  This is not an [[:Category:Evolved|evolution]] of a [[species]].  The chance of hatching a wild-card is based on skill in the romance mini-game.
 +
 +
 +
== Special traits ==
 +
Each species has three different wild-card versions, with their own physical traits that will differ from the rest, e.g., a [[Tigermisu]] with fangs, bushy tail, or mane.
 +
 +
The base value of a wild-card is ten times as much as a normal pinata of that species.
 +
 +
 +
== Romance mini-game tips ==
 +
You can breed Wildcards once you have six pinatas of that species in the garden and are going for a seventh/Master Romancer. When you go into that mini-game you'll notice that all the hearts are flashing. You need to collect all of the hearts before the time runs out to get a Wildcard.
 +
 +
To receive twins, you need to complete the mini-game within a certain time limit. To receive a wildcard, you need to complete the mini-game whilst collecting all the flashing hearts. To receive wildcard twins, you need to complete the mini-game within a certain time limit and whilst collecting all the flashing hearts.
 +
 +
 +
== Obtaining all three traits ==
 +
 +
Everyone can romance to get the first (Classic) trait.  To get one of the two remaining traits, romance two wildcards (and collect all the flashing hearts).
 +
 +
Those are the only two traits that you can hatch -- you can't get the third trait on your own by romancing.  You have to trade, scan a PV card, or use co-op with a gardener who is able to hatch the trait that you can't.  (Since you can hatch one of the traits that they can't, this is a great way to help each other out to get all three traits.)

For answers to commonly asked Wild-card questions, see below.
[edit]

A wild-card is a very rare pinata that is created while performing a regular romancing process. This is not an evolution of a species. Wild-cards are purely random, and any egg has a chance of being a wild card. The only thing that can help your chances of a wild-card being born is if one or two of the parents themselves are also wild-cards.


Leafos Talk

Message that a wilcard pinata is born.

According to a rumor from Leafos, "On really rare occasions, special pinatas are born. They look different than normal and are a sign of good luck."

When a wild-card is born, Leafos will say, "That's Amazing! There's a one in a million chance that a wild - card piñata is born! It must be your lucky day!"


Special traits

Your rare pinata will have some physical trait that will differ from the rest, e.g., a Moozipan with horns.

Every species has a wild-card version with a larger base value which is increased by 10 times.

Commonly asked questions
What's the chance of getting a Wild-card?

For Classic, the odds are 1 in 10,000. (Shared in a Rareware Archives interview with James Thomas given on Viva Piñata's 5th birthday.) View thread


Does hatching an egg with a Cluckles increase (or decrease) the chance of getting a WC?

No. The only thing that will increase your chances of getting a wild-card, is if one (or both) of the parents are wild-cards. View thread
