Can I recognize if foe can be captured?

I spent couple tries on Leafy chomper with low hp so i guess this one can not eb captured - but how can I be sure I am not jsut unlucky? I do nto see any info either in scan or bestiary to confirm.

If I remember correctly, uncaptureable monster have a red box next to their lifebar. But I also believe that you can't even target uncaptureable monsters with capture.

Another thing of note is that luck plays a rather minor role in capture. In addition to low HP, most status effects, defense debuffs (especially evasion), certain equipment and having the Good Luck buff increase capture chances.

Hmm.

i se enow on companions in bestiary is red box as symbol they can not be captured.. so it could be indeed I need apply debuffs too... any clue about bosses? (eg. jsut fought Bubblexr MX-01) If this logic woudl be true they do not have red box either - hence should be capturable..?

Yes, most bosses are captureable.

I think for if you don't get them the first time you'll have to capture them in the boss rush near the end.

For most bosses, yes. The ones that aren't in the boss rush (the glitch, the things in the library, Snowflake) outright respawn where they were. Regular enemies are usually easier to find in the museum, although Omega Dragon and the Pixels would require all achievements to already be completed so you'll probably just go back to the glitch areas for the latter (the former doesn't actually respawn anywhere else and is in basically the last wave of the Foe Rush).

Sorry for the almost 2 month bump but i wanted to add: Yes but also not quite. Enemies that have lovable status can't be targeted by any kind of single hit attack, and that INCLUDES capture.

If you see an enemy with a little heart, remember to Dispel it. There are several ways to do this, but most common is from Anna. She has a dispel skill when she joins your team, which is multi-target (so works for lovable too) and movable between anyone but NoLegs.
