While you're in battle, you can give your Yo-kai friends commands using the Touch Screen. Once you have progressed past a certain point in the game, Model Zero commands will also become available.
Command: Soultimate
This allows you to use a Yo-kai's Soultimate Move. Select a Yo-kai with a full Soul Meter, and follow the instructions on the Touch Screen. Once the gauge is full, your Yo-kai will unleash a Soultimate Move. Model Zero Command: M Skill
When the Yo-kai Watch is in Model Zero mode, the Soultimate command changes to the M Skill command (M for Moximous). M Skills are stronger than normal Soultimate Moves, but they consume three Soul Meters! The Soul Meters of the Yo-kai using the move and both the Yo-kai on either side of it will all be used up, so use M Skills wisely.
Command: Purify
Yo-kai Inspirited by enemies will suffer all sorts of bad effects. To restore them, move the Inspirited Yo-kai to the back and use Purify. Follow the instructions on the Touch Screen to successfully remove the bad effects from the Yo-kai. Command: Target
This allows you to put a pin on the enemy you want to focus attacks on. Move the Yo-kai Lens and line it up with an enemy Yo-kai, and then press or tap the Touch Screen to put a pin on the enemy. Bosses may have different parts of their body that you can target with a pin, so be on the lookout! Removing Pins
Select Remove Pin to remove a pin, or move the lens to a place without an enemy Yo-kai and tap the Touch Screen. Wisps
I f y ou see a gl owi ng orb during battl e , you should try to pin it! This is a Wisp, and when it's broken, it can fill a Yo-kai's Soul Meter, give out items, and more. Wisps won't stick around forever, so make sure to pin them when they show up!
Model Zero Command: Poke
When the Yo-kai Watch is in Model Zero mode, the Target command changes to the Poke command. Select an enemy as you would with the Target option, and repeatedly poke the enemy. Successfully fill the gauge to get bonuses like making the enemy easier to befriend, draining their Soul Meter, or gaining extra money. The enemy must be Loafing or Inspirited before they can be poked. Command: Item
This command lets you use items. To use an item on an ally, tap the item, tap Use on Friend, and then tap the target. To use on an enemy, tap the item and then tap Use on Foe.
Making Friends of Enemies
I f y ou gi ve ene my Yo -kai food, there will be a be tte r chance of them joining you after the battle. If you give them their favorite food, your chances will be even better!
