# Pet Companion
In cases where players prefer not to engage in active exploration, the **Pet Companion System** enables passive map exploration. This feature allows a player’s pet to autonomously navigate the game world, functioning as a virtual extension of the player to explore new areas, capture additional pets, and continue progression even without direct player movement.
* Once activated, your character will remain fixed at your GPS location.
* The pet becomes your **movable character**, which you can control to explore the map.
* If a pet ventures far from its original location and encounters other pets, it can initiate a capture. When it meets a Boss, it can engage in battle — even if the player is not physically present at that location.
### **Attribute Effects**
When exploring with Pet Companion, three attributes directly affect performance:
1. **Movement Speed** → determined by the pet’s **Speed** stat.
2. **Radar Range** → determined by the pet’s **Focus** stat; higher range means easier discovery of pets and Core Fields.
3. **Energy Consumption** → tied to **HP**; the longer the exploration, the more energy is consumed.
