by fungus grove, you should have your second party slot unlocked, and thus have a two-pet party (go to Esior's Haven's plaza- third slot is unlockable once you reach Sanctuary of Saerielle in the second region, Umbra Forest, by going to the plaza there), which is likely part of why you are struggling.

You should also make sure to equip your pet properly (guessing Cosmos is your party pet, she's lv17 but only has a single equip, and it's a lv0 uncommon one at that (read,,, it isn't good).)

This guide should help (covers the different elements and equipment types, party builds and so forth)
Thank you so much. This really helped me.

This is something I would have really liked to know when I was a newbie:

You don't HAVE to make pets with the Generator (via Essences) OR from capturing a Tamed pet!
When I first joined Sylestia I made the newbie mistake of Generating my first few pets (from Mystical Essences from the Diamond shop no less.. oi! Not my proudest moment, lol.)

I know it comes off like that because you generate your Starter Pet, and capture your second one.
BUT you DO NOT have to!

There are thousands of already-made pets for cheap that are waiting for you to buy, even for prices total newbies can afford, with cool traits and colors, and that's the way you can get even some really rare themed ones, too, once you have more gold.

All you have to do to find them is click on "Advanced Search" on the top left corner of the screen, and pick the "Search Pets" section from there.

Then pick the species you want to look for, and make sure "Include Purebred" is set to "Yes"!
(It's set to "No" by default, but Including Purebreds is an easy way to find really nice affordable themed pets!)

Then set "For Sale" to "Yes", and order by Sale Price > Ascending. Tada! A bunch of cheap pets of the species desired!

just noting, it's automatically set to 'no' for the PB search because it's inactive unless you actively search for themed pets (setting the "Themed:" option to Yes or a specific theme- if "Themed:" is set to "any" or "no", PB pets are still included in the search regardless (even if you set the "Include PB" to "no" or "only", it only registers it if "Themed:" is set to Yes))

Ahh yeah, you're right! So yeah, guess picking Purebred only works if you want to pick "Themed > Yes" and browse the affordable themed pets in particular! x3

Hello everyone!
I've noticed this accouncement:" Easter Event Overview - Easter Egg Hunt - Diamond Sale and Double XP Thru 4/26" and I was wondering if you have any tips on how a beginner can take advantage of this blessed "double XP" period.

What kind of pets / stats should I be focusing on? Should I try to grow a lot of pets fast or focus on the story and get the grown pets reach the highest levels faster? Anything else I should be considering? Thank you in advance!

Focus on the story and one team, at this point you'll probably only really need to work on leveling up your main team.
Also, you may want to note that double EXP happens every festival, but usually only for a weekend and not the whole Festival as it is now, so that's fun ^^

agree with lark. For begineers, this is a really good time to get your level high up, when youre further in the storyline it's easy to level up pets with or without double xp

Thank you both! I was about to start doing the exact opposite but I will stick to the story for now. :)

Technically I'm an old newbie but I was wondering how do I earn scales? I see that I need to use them to buy the philter of amnesia to rename my pet but IDK how to earn them... I really want to change the name of my pet as it's named after a now-deceased real pet cat of mine. would it be easier to just 'set it free' or to earn the scales? Each time I look at the name I remember my cat and it makes me fairly sad honestly.

Nurturing pets is how you earn scales. Go to the Nurturing page (accessed via the "Help Nurture Sylesties" button in the hatchery page.
Select from the dropdown options.

Egglings options:
if Cool, Warm it
If Warm, Cool it
If Restless, Turn it
If Dirty, Clean it

Hatchling options:
If Weak, Work out with it
If Derpy, Read to it
If Bored, Play with it
If Slow, race with it

On most sylesti, 1 correct nurture gets you one scale, on pets with aa symbol, they've got Nurture Boost, and give two scales for a correct nurture (nurture boosted pets will be the first ones available in any given option from the dropdowns, as the nurture boost gives them 'priority' to be offered for nurturing)

The system has been updated recently to make the process far more streamlined that it was before
