As part of the tutorial you must make a pal sphere (they require 3 wood, 3 stone and 1 Paldium fragment all of which are collected very easily). In my save I turned around and there were a couple of hidden chests at the start which had pal spheres in. Once you have made or collected these go and punch a pal to weaken it then hold RB and you will see your chance of catching it with the pal sphere. If you weaken them enough this will be 100% and you will get the achievement once it is caught.

If you're having trouble finding Paldium(?) make a pickaxe and mine some of the stone nearby. You will get stone, but you get a chance to get Paldium as well.

there is blue glowing rocks near the start of the game you can just farm these and they only drop Paldium - Mine was located down the hill and just to the right next to a bridge)

You have to hold RB to see the chance - when you release it it will throw the pal sphere at the pal

Is it really your pal if you punch it?

I was playing online in my friends world and I didn’t unlock the achievement. Maybe it was just me. 🤷♂️

Seems to be that only the host will unlock this achievement. But when playing with a friend (who was host), the acheivement for killing a boss unlocked for me

I haven’t played online but perhaps this might be buggy when playing in someone else’s world?

If you miss capturing the pal or missed on throwing the ball you will have to craft it again, theres plenty of stones to find around the field and around the river.

Doesn't seem to unlock in a friends world :(

I’ve added the host only flag to this for now. Not sure if this is a glitch that will be fixed or intentional

if you miss then it disappears so you have to make more - also im just adding, if you find eggs around the map collect these, once you incubate them if they hatch and its one you havent captured before it counts towards catching different types
