What are traits in Coromon? Great question, glad you asked. Traits are the potential for your Coromon to be capture with an additional ability, that is set aside from your skills. This ability will be seen on their stats screen, and each individual Coromon will have access to specific traits that are based on their design and utility. There is some cross-over between different Coromon and different traits, but no Coromon will have access or all traits, nor more than three options for their traits, at this stage.
It is important to note also, that just because a Coromon and their species has access to a specific trait, or set of traits, that does not mean that they will actually have that trait when you capture them. It is entirely possible to catch a Coromon that has multiple traits available, only for that individual to have neither.
As such, if you’re catching the same type of Coromon several times to ensure that the one that will make the cut in your party will have a good Potential Stat, it is worthwhile ensuring that they have access to their trait(s) also. Good luck!
Today we’re going to have a look over each of the Traits that are available in the game currently, and take a look at your changes of obtaining a specific trait when capturing a Coromon.

Trait Probability
Like I mentioned there are several Coromon that have access to more than one trait in their trait pool. As not all traits are created, the more potent or impactful ones have a lesser change on appearance when you capture a Coromon. As such, it can take some finesse to capture a Coromon with a good potential, and their most impactful trait.
We’re going to use Hountrion as an example here.
Hountrion has access to three different potentail traits, but the chances of rolling each trait are not equal. Hountrion has access to the traits:
- Menacing
- Coward
- Brave
Assuming that the Hountrion rolls with a trait at all, the probability of each of its traits is represented by a number from 70.
Menacing has a probability of 20.
Coward has a probability of 25.
Brave has a probability of 25.
With our total probability filling the values up to the seventy limit, we can easily work out these values as percentages instead, meaning:
Menacing has a probability of 28.58%
Coward has a probability of 35.71%
Brave has a probability of 35.71%
So, if you’ve got a Hountrion that you’re happy with the potential of, assuming that the Hountrion will roll with a trait at all, you have a 28.58% chance of rolling with Menacing, if that is the trait that you’re specifically looking for. If not, try again and good luck!
