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.
