Tips on catching & breeding Chocobos - You can rotate a chocobo you're viewing by holding the R1 or L1 buttons - Chocobos you keep won't run away when you dismount them - You can enter the Highwind riding a chocobo & when you land you will automatically be riding it - You must buy & equip the "Chocobo Lure" from the man at the ranch - If you dont buy any stalls, a chocobo will run away once you dismount it - You can only start keeping & breeding chocobos once you get the Highwind - You must buy greens to capture and feed you chocobos - Different kinds of greens & nuts have different effects on chocobos - When trying to catch a chocobo, put the greens at the top of your items list (so you can quickly get a green without searching for one) - You must buy 4-6 stalls (you can only do this once you receive the Highwind) to start breeding - Take note on what sex your chocobo is (you must have a male & female chocobo to breed) - You must have alot of money & time to start breeding (you have to pay for greens & nuts and you must race your chocobos to a high class at the Gold Saucer) A chocobo will run away in battle if: - You take too long to feed a chocobo - You attack a chocobo - You attack a monster before you give a chocobo a green - You don't immediately give a green to a chocobo once it stops eating |

How to get a Blue & Green Chocobo |
| To get a blue or green chocobo you need to win or steal three Carob Nuts from Vlakorados (the area near bone village) & win or steal one Zeio Nut from a Goblin (on the goblin islands). Then go visit the Chocobo Sage & buy 40 Sylkis greens from him. Capture good male chocobos southeast of the Gold Saucer & great female chocobos west of Mideel. Mate the good male chocobo with the great female chocobo using a Carob Nut. With a little luck, this will produce a new Green or Blue chocobo (if it doesn’t work, try again). |
 How to get a Black Chocobo

| Once you have one blue chocobo & one green chocobo of the opposite sex, give each chocobo 10 Sylkis Greens. Go to the Gold Saucer & talk to Ester at the Chocobo Square. Enter one of your chocobos into the chocobo races. Win 6 consecutive races so your chocobo reaches Class A. After your chocobo reaches Class A, enter your other chocobo in the races. Once both chocobos are Class A go back to the Chocobo Ranch and mate the two chocobos using a Carob Nut. You now should have a Black Chocobo! |
