Tips & Strategies
For people confusing whether or not they lose aggro when tamed on mobile,here's the answer I got after taming and testing around 100 of those dolphins.
1.They will become invincible (literally) by any creature if you tame them when there's no aggressive dinos around in your render distance(both land and sea dinos count)
2.They will become living rage shark baits if you tame the when there are aggressive dinos AROUND or IN THE RENDER DISTANCE.And by that I mean they will aggro creatures more than any tame in the game now calling even megs out of render distance and eels from boarderline render range.They essentially became sea pachyrhinos in constant rage pheromones buff for aggressive creatures.
So here's my tame.Tame them ONLY in herbivore island inner shore if you want the invisible buff and kill any shark or manta that spawned in there before taming them.

If youโre on mobile and single player, donโt make a saddle! You get a free one after completing the tame icthy pursuit
How to raise an itchy
1. Go into the water for a good swim and see what you can find one
2. Once you see one it might swim up to you and hug you
3. Obtain meat to feed the marine reptile
4. Begin feeding the reptile WARNING: there is a bug that when they are hugging you they glitch and get you stuck and you could very well drown doing this so be careful.
5. Once tamed craft a saddle for it. It is fairly easy to craft the itchy saddle
Uses of the itchy when tamed:
1. They are extremely agile and swim faster than any other aquatic tame
2. For mobile players: they donโt get aggravated on by anything
3. They are so fast they do a full rotation around the island in less than 3 in game days
Weaknesses of the itchy when tamed:
1. They donโt have much health nor do they do much dmg
Best for killing scorpions on bottom of ocean floor since they don't take torpor. Scorpions down there will knock any other animals out. Once you kill it, hit it with a pickaxe to gather black pearls. Very useful for the next update with tek gear.
If you wanna tame one of these beasts just go to Hervibore island and youโll find so many of them following basilosaurs I tamed 2 and Breeded them I got baby ichthyasaur but got killed by lvl 1 Meg and I killed it and got teeth.Up if good
To anyone who lose their tames and you can't find it.
Go to your stats (Or profile) and you'll see the tames. Click on the tames button and find your lost tame. Press it and click request and wait for a while. (For water tames BE in water otherwise they'll die.)
WARNING: ALL ITEMS IN A REQUESTED CREATURE WILL BE LOST.
Taming tips : try to trap in stones in beach and hurray you can easily tame one.
CAUTION (ARK MOBILE) :โ ๏ธ During taming dolphin don't use soothing balm other wise dolphin lost his mystical powers which gives your dolphin to move freely in underwater sea and wild sea dinos not agro to you. โ ๏ธ
But sadly high lvl dino take too much time for taming without soothing balm.
I recommend taming one of these while riding something cause they like to say hi to tames so they will just be chilling right by you while you tame them
They nuzzle up to you for an easy start to a game but tend to wander off after a while. It is best if you trap it in a walled off area while it follows you for an easy tame
Do not try taming near any shoreline. Every time one takes my food, it immediately regrets human interactions and commits harikiri by touching land.
!!!find any animal you may have lost on mobile !!!!!!
Go to your profile and it should say tames _/_ tap that and then it will show you all the animals youโve tamed that are alive. Then go to the one you lost and hit request! Hope this helps anyone who needs it.
