Cat Capsule (or Gacha (ガチャ) in the Japanese Version) is an area where the player can spend Normal Cat Tickets, Rare Cat Tickets, and Cat Food to obtain Cat Units and Ability Orbs. The rewards earned are then either immediately used, immediately exchanged for XP, or are saved in the Cat Storage to be used later.
Normal Cat Capsule
A Normal Cat Ticket
Each day, the player gets 1 Normal Cat Ticket. Those tickets can be used at any time to roll the Normal Cat Capsule. After rolling the Normal Cat Capsule, the player will get an upgrade (either any of the Normal cat units or a blue orb with a symbol depicting which base upgrade it will affect). Receiving a cat unit will allow the player to upgrade the collected Normal Cat's level by one. Receiving a blue orb will allow the player to increase the base upgrade of the symbol on the orb by one. These upgrades are the only way for the basic units to pass the level cap of 20, but the Base upgrades cannot exceed the total level of 30 and the maximum level cap for Normal Cats is fixed by the player's user rank.
Normal Cat Tickets can also be obtained through Timed-scored stages or by chance when completing a Cat Ticket Stage. Sometimes, PONOS grants the player with a Normal Cat Ticket because of a special event.
The user can trade both orbs and cat units for XP. Base orbs can be exchanged for 5000 XP, while Normal Cats can be exchanged for different amounts of XP depending on the unit traded. (For example, a Cat can be exchanged for 10000 XP, while a Titan Cat can be exchanged for 25000 XP.)
If any Base ability has already reached maximum, a total level of (20+10)=30, the player can then exchange each excess Blue Orb for a count of one towards the total number of five Blue Orbs required to obtain one Rare Cat Ticket
5 exchanged Blue Orbs = 1 Rare Cat Ticket
Sometimes, there are Item Capsules which act as replacements for the basic cat capsule. In them, you can get various items & XP, but not cat units. For info on all of the different types of item capsules, click here.
Rare Cat Capsule
Regular Gacha
A Rare Cat Ticket
From time to time, the player can get a Rare Cat Ticket (or Gold Ticket in the Japanese version), by purchasing it with cat food, trading 5 blue orbs or being granted by PONOS. Those tickets can be used at any time to roll the Rare Cat Capsule. After rolling the Rare Cat Capsule, the player will get a gacha Cat (Rare, Super Rare or Uber Rare). Most of the time, the rarity of the Cat fix their interval of cost (Uber Rare Cats' cost is usually over $3000, for example) and their powerfulness (you expect an Uber Rare Cat to be more essential than a Rare Cat). Thus, Uber Rare Cats are more lusted, but they also require more strategy to use them than Rare Cats.
Note: Saving Rare Cat Tickets doesn't give you an option for 11 rolls.
Uber Rare Cats you can get are fixed on a schedule. Usually, every two days, the pool of Uber Rare Cats change. Before spinning the Rare Cat Capsule, the player can see the actual pool. From time to time, additional Super Rare Cats are added.
If the player gets a gacha Cat he/she already has, he/she can use it as an upgrade for the same Cat. This is the only way to pass the maximum level cap of 30 (and using cat's eyes in v5.0).
Collaboration Gacha
During a Collaboration Event, the player could be invited to roll another pool, filled with new Cats inspired by the collaboration. This pool can have only Collaboration Cats or a combination of Collaboration Cats and regular gacha cats. The Collaboration Gacha was introduced during the Monster Hunter Collaboration Event in the Japanese Version, and the Survive! Mola Mola! Collaboration Event in the English Version.
Limited Gacha
This gacha follows the same rules than a Collaboration Gacha. This pool contains regular Uber Rare Cats with a new skin, a new ability and sometimes new stats.
Cost of the Rare Cat Capsule
Note: You can only purchase instant draws. Thus, you cannot purchase a discounted 11 Spins then save it for another pool... If you already have Rare Cat Tickets, you have to use them before purchasing single Spins.

Platinum Gacha
The Platinum Gacha is an uncommon Cat Capsule that only appears for a short period of time. It requires Platinum Tickets to spin, which can be obtained by buying with real money. This capsule will always drop Uber Rare Cats. After each spin, the player will be rewarded with 100 Cat Food and 100,000 XP.
Event Capsule
A Lucky Ticket
Event Capsule first introduced during the New Year's event from 1st January 2016 to 9th January 2016. Throughout this event, the player can receive some Lucky Tickets, each time he/she uses a Rare Cat Ticket, from completing Time Scored Stages or by being granted by PONOS. Those tickets can be used at any time during the event to roll the Event Capsule. After rolling the Rare Cat Capsule, the player will get a power-up (including Treasure Radars), some XP, or tiny versions of the Normal Cats, called Li'l Cats.
