Breeding with Yawstrich: Unlocking Mythical Island and Beyond

The elusive Yawstrich in My Singing Monsters is a unique creature with particular breeding requirements. On Mythical Island, the only monster you can reliably breed with a Yawstrich is the Catalizt. This combination is used to produce the Sporerow. Outside of Mythical Island, Yawstrich cannot be bred at all in most versions of the game, making it a valuable monster to teleport to Mythical Island if you seek to populate it!

Understanding Yawstrich’s Breeding Limitations

Yawstrich’s breeding capabilities are somewhat limited, and here’s why:

• Platform Specificity: The primary method of obtaining a Yawstrich – breeding T-Rox and Scups – is limited to older versions of the game, specifically the PlayStation Vita and the Android version. Players on iOS or other platforms cannot breed a Yawstrich through this method.

• Mythical Island Requirement: To breed with a Yawstrich, you absolutely need to be on Mythical Island. It is a core component for breeding Sporerow on Mythical Island.

• No Breeding on Natural Islands: Yawstrich cannot be bred on any of the Natural Islands (Plant Island, Cold Island, Air Island, Water Island, Earth Island, Fire Haven, Fire Oasis, Light Island, Faerie Island, Psychic Island, Bone Island). You can only breed for it on specific older platforms, not with it on those platforms.

The Catalizt + Yawstrich Combination

The sole purpose for breeding with Yawstrich in the current versions of the game is to get the Sporerow on Mythical Island, and the other half of the equation is the Catalizt. The Catalizt is breedable on Mythical Island, and becomes breedable once the player has hatched either a Catalizt or a Yawstrich. Breed the two of them together and you can get the Sporerow!

Frequently Asked Questions About Breeding with Yawstrich

Here’s a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions about breeding with the Yawstrich, aimed at helping you navigate the intricacies of its limited breeding scope:

1. What is the main breeding combo for getting a Yawstrich?

On the PlayStation Vita and older Android versions, the breeding combo for Yawstrich is T-Rox + Scups. This is the only way to obtain a Yawstrich through breeding outside of teleportation from Mythical Island.

2. Can I breed a Yawstrich on Plant Island, Cold Island, or Air Island?

No, Yawstrich cannot be bred on any of the Natural Islands. Its breeding is restricted to the now defunct method of T-Rox + Scups on old versions of the game, and to breeding with Catalizt on Mythical Island.

3. What’s the incubation time for a Yawstrich?

The default incubation time for a Yawstrich is 1 day and 4 hours.

4. Can I breed a Yawstrich and another Yawstrich?

No, you can only breed Yawstrich with Catalizt on Mythical Island.

5. Is Yawstrich a good coin producer?

Despite being a Mythical Monster, Yawstrich does not have a high coin production compared to other monsters, especially on Natural Islands. It’s mainly valuable for its role in breeding on Mythical Island and completing your collection.

6. What is Catalizt and how do I get it?

Catalizt is a Mythical Monster found on Mythical Island. It can be bred once you have unlocked the breeding structure on Mythical Island, and once you have obtained a Yawstrich either by hatching one there or teleporting one from another island.

7. What does breeding Catalizt and Yawstrich result in?

Breeding Catalizt and Yawstrich on Mythical Island results in the Sporerow, another Mythical Monster exclusive to that island.

8. How rare is it to get a Yawstrich from breeding T-Rox and Scups?

Breeding T-Rox and Scups to get Yawstrich is not based on a chance percentage like most breeding pairs. It is a fixed result on the PlayStation Vita and old Android versions. However, since these versions are obsolete, you can no longer breed Yawstrich at all, and have to purchase them from the Star Shop.

9. Can I breed a Yawstrich 100% of the time?

No, you can’t get Yawstrich 100% of the time when breeding T-Rox and Scups in the old Android and Vita versions. When Yawstrich is available to purchase in the star shop, you can then obtain a Yawstrich 100% of the time by spending the required amount of stars.

10. Can Yawstrich be placed on Gold Island?

No, Yawstrich cannot be placed on Gold Island. Aux. Seasonals, Ethereals, Mythicals, Magicals, Werdos, Dipsters, Wublins and Celestials also cannot be placed on Gold Island.

11. Is it worth teleporting Yawstrich to Mythical Island just for breeding?

Absolutely! If you already have a Yawstrich, teleporting it to Mythical Island unlocks the ability to breed the Sporerow using the Catalizt. This is the primary reason to teleport Yawstrich.

12. Why can’t I breed Yawstrich on my iOS version of the game?

The Yawstrich is obtainable on iOS versions of the game by purchasing it in the star shop. You cannot breed Yawstrich and Scups.

13. Can a Rare Yawstrich affect the breeding outcome?

Rare versions do not affect breeding outcomes. However, there is mention of “1 in 55 Yawstriches is born with a specific genetic mutation that produces radically different-colored plumage”. This would not change anything to breeding, as Yawstrich can only breed with Catalizt.

14. How does breeding work on Mythical Island compared to Natural Islands?

Breeding on Mythical Island involves specific combinations of Mythical Monsters. Unlike Natural Islands, you can’t breed common elemental monsters; you’re limited to breeding the Mythicals exclusive to that island.

15. Where can I learn more about the educational aspects of games like My Singing Monsters?

For insights into how games can be used for learning and education, you can explore the Games Learning Society at GamesLearningSociety.org . The Games Learning Society explores the intersection of game design, learning theory, and educational practice.

Concluding Thoughts

While the Yawstrich’s breeding options are extremely limited, understanding its role in breeding the Sporerow on Mythical Island is crucial for completing your collection. Remember that its primary breeding method (T-Rox + Scups) is no longer available in recent versions of the game. So, if you want to breed the Sporerow, grab a Yawstrich in the star shop, and teleport it to Mythical Island to start breeding it with Catalizt today!
