# Capturing

**To capture a wild DATA creature, you must first weaken it in battle by reducing its HP. Once the creature is sufficiently weakened, you can select a DATACard from your inventory and attempt to capture it**

The success of the capture is determined by several factors:

* <mark style="color:yellow;">**Creature's Remaining HP**</mark>: Lower HP increases the capture chance.
* <mark style="color:yellow;">**Creature's Rarity**</mark>: Rarer creatures are harder to capture.
* <mark style="color:yellow;">**DATACard Quality**</mark>: Higher-quality DATACards have better capture rates.
* <mark style="color:yellow;">**Random Chance**</mark>: There's always an element of chance involved.

If the capture is successful, the DATA creature is digitized and added to your team. You can then access and manage it through your team menu.

If the capture fails, the DATA creature remains in the battlefield, and you can attempt another capture if you have remaining DATACards.
