See, every monster has odds on successfully recruiting it. It's vaguely comparable to a Catch Rate in Pokémon. Some of them are low enough so that you can get them within a few battles. Others have ridiculously high odds that will scare off even the most saintly patient. There is no way to increase your chance of getting a monster. But there is a way to decrease it - successfully recruiting a monster will make it harder to recruit more of its species (though a select few increase slightly for the third). You can recruit up to three of a species of monster, after which it will be considered unrecruitable. In order to recruit another, you must release one of the ones you have. If the check succeeds, the monster will get up after the battle, and you'll be asked if you want to accept it into your party. Say yes and it joins, say no and it "sidles away looking rather hurt." You get a few freebies here and there, as well. | See, every monster has odds on successfully recruiting it. It's vaguely comparable to a Catch Rate in Pokémon.

So once you have the monster, you can use it like any other party member. You can only have up to 8 members in your party at once though, and thus, additional monsters are kept with Monty the Monster Monitor (humans go with Patty the Party Planner). Any monsters with Monty do not gain EXP after battle. In battle, your monsters are not guaranteed to listen to your commands until their Wisdom stat hits at least 20. | So once you have the monster, you can use it like any other party member.
