Tips & Strategies
Pachycephalosaurus are small, slow dinosaurs that at first glance may seem lacking in the use department. However leveling one of these Cretaceous critters, especially a high level one, in Melee, Stamina and Health can turn them into the ultimate living taming mount only rivaled by a high Melee Mantis equipped with clubs, knocking out Parasaurs, Trikes, Dilos, Raptors, Pteras and more in one or two charge attacks that can down creatures far more quickly and efficiently then the average Beelzebufo or Pulmonoscorpius. Not only that but there eggs can be used to make the preferred kibble of the Paraceratherium. Meaning taming Pachys for eggs is also quite worthwhile

for everyoone saying they dont have a charge attack on mobile they do just go to settings and set right or left multi tap to reload/attack 2 then just tap the left or right side of the screen and ur pachy should start to charge thats also how u do barrel rolls on the pteranodon
Contrary to popular belief, the Pachy actually better to knockout tames than the Equus. The Pachy induces more torpor per hit than the Equus and the Pachy also attacks over 15% faster. For added knowledge the Packy is also better than the Mantis (with bats), Pulmonoscorpius, and the Beelzebufo. As long as the Pachy is high level with melee damage pumped into it, it will beat any of the creatures I've mentioned with the same level and melee.
If you’re going to tame one of these, go for a high level. Make sure it has good melee and health, as well as decent stamina. If you’re using it to knock things out, only use the charge attack. With high melee, you can knock out high level trikes with ease. I’d recommend only trying this on trapped creatures though.Try to get whatever you’re trying to tame into a pen or have a monkey on your shoulder to slow the tame down so it can’t fight back very well. Trust me, Pachys are pretty slow. You’re gonna need whatever creature you’re trying to tame to be slowed or trapped in some way in order to be successful. I’m still testing mine out, but so far, my pachy can knock out high level trikes in just a few charge attacks. Depending on your situation, a pachy can be much better than a crossbow with tranqs, but it’s only worth it if you get a high level.
