Attracting new species
From PinataIsland.info, the Viva Piñata wiki
Classic
Wild Piñatas are attracted to your garden, by meeting the right conditions for each species to appear. For example, specific flowers and trees, or piñatas that already reside in your garden, can capture the interest of a Wild Pinata. Once a Wild Piñata has appeared, you can entice it to become a resident in your garden by providing it with what it needs to be happy there.
Once your garden becomes active enough, Sour Piñatas will appear and generally cause a nuisance. While they can be smashed, it's better to tame them, as they will become helpful residents.
Finally, there are a few other (evolved) piñata species that don’t even exist until you create them by doing something to an existing resident species!
