Farming for Moles
![](https://s1.pearlcdn.com/GLOBAL-LAB/Upload/News/1f0f1a50c8320201224114123697.png)
For such reasons, we made the Pit-A-Pat Mole's appearance quite rare... but we may have made it a bit too rare. Thus, we've lowered the chance of normal moles while making other special moles more prone to appear.
We look forward to many more adventurers adopting the Pit-A-Pat Mole very soon.

- Pudgy Mole: increased appearance rate by 2 times
