After a battle, the player may have a chance of befriending one of the enemy Yo-kai therein. This usually occurs at random, but the player may increase his or her chances of doing so by feeding them certain types of food during battle. Once befriended, a Yo-kai will give the protagonist a Yo-kai Medal, which allows them to be summoned in future battleds.
