Hopefully somebody will know the answer to this:

I'm well on my way to having captured 10 of the required species throughout spira - only got 35 more captures to make and I've done it.

But, 10 of those captures are a species from the Sunken Cave that I can't find to capture one of never mind 10. According the monster arena list, I've got:

Yowie x 10
Imp x 10
Dark Element x 10
Nidhogg x 10
Thorn x10
Valaha x7
Epaaj x10
Ghost x 7
Unknown x0

Does anybody know which species I'm missing and where's the best place to loiter around to get it?

Your missing Tonberry , the green little thing with the latern.

Oh yes, I know the one - have harvested all the master tonberry's from the omega ruins. Thanks for that!

theres rumers that they are found in the green room more often which someone can give a more accurate exactly whre it is (its been a while since i caught them all) but im not sure if it works are not for me i went there and did better tehn other places but according to many ppl its luck

Some people say they find tonberry in one of the first side rooms. Personally, I've had better luck past the save sphere in the little lighted area just before the room. Still, it does take a while to get all 10 of them.

According to the testings of many many many people, that theory is BS. I'd say you got lucky, not that I'm complaining.

Also, double posting is much frowned upon in Neoseeker. Just Edit your post with what you want to add.

No, I didn't mean it like that. I just wanted to slip the info that you got lucky this time (and you should be thanful for getting lucky with the tonberries XD), it's not a consistent thing to be able to get Tonberries in that room. Just a fluke.

I always hunt for them in the green room too. Apparently the increased encounter rate is supposed to be bull (as Sparky mentioned), yet it always works wonders for me. I can't say for definite, but I'm sure there are encounters you cannot get into in the green room, which may explain why it seems to yield good results (for me at least <_<). Could be speaking from my backside though. XD

Dunno how I missed that topic.

I know I've spoken to Kurono about not seeing Yowies and Thorns in there before. I also seem to recall not seeing the Nidhogg & 2x Dark Element encounter either (although I find that is a rare encounter anyway).

I seem to recall seeing the Nidhogg + 2x Dark Element there myself.

But yeah.
