Hoocrates is one of the lighter Pals in the game — 70 base HP, 70 attack and 80 defense all sit below the Paldex median — so it is worth catching for its work suitability and its breeding value rather than for fights. No base stat on Hoocrates clears the Paldex median; Work Speed at 100 is the closest it comes, which puts the whole case for catching it on its work suitability and its breeding combinations.
Elementally, Hoocrates is Dark: it takes extra damage from Dragon attacks and deals extra damage to Neutral Pals — the matchup that decides most of its Alpha and tower fights. It is cheap to keep. A food value of 1 is one of the lowest in the Paldex, so Hoocrates works a full shift without draining the feed box the way a large Pal does.
Hoocrates Work Suitability
- GatheringLv 1#81 of 109
Hoocrates is a specialist: Gathering is the only work suitability it has, at level 1, so it goes into a base for exactly one station and nothing else. That ranks Hoocrates #81 of the 109 Pals with Gathering, so it will do the job, but it is not the Pal you keep the station for.

Where to Find Hoocrates
Hoocrates is found on the Palpagos Islands map, where the game data places 311 separate spawn points for it. Every one of them sits in the Grasslands, so that is the only biome worth searching for a wild Hoocrates. The thickest band runs through the centre of the map around X -281k, Y 62k, with looser pockets elsewhere.
Wild Hoocrates spawn between level 4 and level 22, so the ones you meet late in a run hit noticeably harder than the first you catch. Hoocrates is nocturnal, so it is awake and easiest to track down at night. Beyond open-world spawns, Hoocrates also turns up in dungeon boss rooms.
