Friendly Challenger: Jim

We're a few weeks into January, folks, and I'm excited to see you all raring to go! Look, I know you're probably still getting through your holiday treats, and your body looks great whatever shape it is - but how about we get ourselves moving to keep our muscles active and our minds occupied? Have a little friendly fight with me and show me what that beautiful self of yours can do!

We have a new Friendly Fight set of challengers this year! Can you figure out how to unlock Jim to begin the battle mood?

Wait, I think i've figured what his fear is: Cibophobia, fear of food.

The reason: In order to challenge him, you have to have your pet full 10/10. It makes sense because as a trainer at the gym, he has t avoid unhealthy foods.

would be really helpfull IF pets would be able to checked in (and out for my food pet)

Now, we wonder what his worst fear is. After all, that's what the boss fight will be: His worst nightmare.

Just got it and I do think it’s a random...

I hope this will be the revamped Jim

Fun little tidbit: Jim, much like the many guys you see on The Fun Watchy Boxes, is build for looks. He's a trainer and works out so he's not weak, but not particularly strong. Think any of the Chris Implantasurname, body builders, etc.

Reischen, on the other hand, is build for strength. He has less obvious muscles and a bit of a bulkier build. These are people that could pick you up and toss you around like a ragdoll. Think Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, football players, etc.

Another thing, men that are trained fighters tend to be slender, but with obvious toned muscles. They're built for speed and strength. Think UFC fighters, and even soccer/fútbol, etc.

Choose your fighter:
Aesthetic (can fight, may not last)
Warrior (strong, can go for longer periods of time)
Fighter (strong, better suited for 1 on 1 and shorter periods)

Quick note because I know people will Be Like That: None are weak, this is called a 'general,' this isn't a be-all-end-all, exceptions and errors are inevitable.

Got him <3

I find it mildly concerning that the supposed gym trainer is somehow weaker than my secondary battle pet, nevermind my main pet. The student has surpassed the master.

Um...
I unlocked Jim while my pets were already in the resort.
Yuzuru
good news for people with a lot of pets
Apparently, feeding 10 pets is enough, no need to put all in the resort :P

Ah, good ole' hover-hands Jimmy.
Judy
@Ryuu Thank you that was helpful!

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Protein Shake
hehehe
PaperDoll
Put ALL in resort ....
NONE got fed ... some got full on happy, some got nothing??
Should I pull them all out and put them back maybe? I dont mind the cost, just wonder if its a glitch of some sort first, or if it maybe takes more time to fill? (been over an hour).

Welp, I've been putting off redeeming a GA for a while, guess this will be the catalyst, cause ain't no way I'm doing all 34(?) pets by hand. Tomorrow, when I have more time to devote to doing stuff.
Kind of like trying to figure this out got me off my ass and doing some BQs and challengers I've been meaning to fight but have been too lazy. ^^;

Yep, tossed all but my feeder pet into the resort and bang, got him while retraining my bunch in training~ Can't fight him yet since I'm behind even though I've been around for a long time, but it's nice to have him!
Glimmer
They need to be all full but not happy. Mine were not all happy and I got it.

Since we know what works, a reminder
(that is, to unlock this, have your pets at 10/10 for hunger and happy and then hit up Training.)

If you have a gold account and many, many pets:
Go to Veta.
Go to Resort.

There's a GA perk that allows you to easily add all of your pets with a single button press and it's pretty inexpensive. I had forgotten about this being added. Otherwise, you're doing each pet, which might take a while. (it may also be capped at something like "only so many of your pets have to be 10/10")

Ex. I have over 40 pets & I sure do not take care of them. ha. and it cost a little over 10k for the one day.
At the top of the hour (8:00), all of my pets were instantly:
Hunger: 10 /10
Happiness: 10 / 10

So, I could then go to Training Center and the challenge popped above the grey text.
Easy! Hope that might help someone~

Yep, full and happy... at least full. All pets.

Going off what @Trubble said....

this worked for me!
All my pets were fed to full and happy, then went to the training center and boom, got him!
Julie
Highest pet is T13 and winning 13 BQs did nothing.
One pet is in training with 43 minutes to go...
Cancelled training, did nothing.
Having a HNY token did nothing.
Trubble
This worked for me.
Spoiler (click here to toggle)
All 4 pets full and happy.
Austria
Still nothing

  • Have one pet still in training, two finished, refreshed... nothing.

-Finished my BQs up to level 20 and refreshed... nothing.
-Completed the training session (hitting the button that said she was done), and refreshed again... nothing.
Soooo, I dunno.
Jess
Possible Solution
Have ten pets with Hunger at 10/10 (full) - or all of your pets full if you have less than ten.

I got him while visiting the training page with my only battle pet in a complete training session

about battle quests
My arthritis is acting up because today is cold and rainy so I did not do my Battle Quests today yet. Since I got him immediately, I don't think BQs have anything to do with it.

I have all mine in training, tried cancelling one, had one in completed state earlier, done battle quests - 16 now. Nothing! I swear its got to be something seriously obvious
sophia
maybe?

Is it possible that the number of BQs required is related to the level of your pet? Some people unlocking with 1/5/more BQs completed?
I regularly do 20 BQs per day and haven't yet unlocked, but I'm refreshing after each one done to see if it's related.

I unlocked him after finishing 5 battle quests, but others are saying this didn't work for them.
@OneWingedAngel

I'm stumped. :/ I didn't have any pets in training (or completed) when I did the quests and unlocked Jim, but others did have pets in training. I'm not sure it plays a roll at all, at this point?
Luck
idea
I can't test it now but maybe you have to have half or more of your pets in training?

It was immediate. I don't think it has anything to do with wearables.

I went to https://subeta.net/explore/train.php
I have 9 pets, all were in training, 7 were finished & 2 are still training. I had done all regular quests & 25 battle quests.

11 currently completed now, all with the same pet. 10,598 EXP points available all on Chaoi who completed the battle quests. Just raised my speed which I'm training and no luck either. All pets in training. Must be missing something obvious!
That will teach me not to preview.

I've been trying along with the theories and still no luck.

Have done 10 BQ so far, no luck.
Added a New Year Token into my inventory, no luck.
Mixture of pets in and out of training, nope.
Damon
nope

I just had two pets finished training and 3 pets in Training and many who don't get trained and still no challenge by Jim.
Reo
Got him.

Spoiler (click here to toggle)
No idea how though. Had nothing in my inventory, did all Wizard and Petes quests (with a GA account), had my strongest and one weakest pet in training, only clothing item on my HA are running shoes behind the background. Could it just be random?
Allaconna
Idea on how to unlock him
I think you have to do a battle quest and then go visit Jim.
Can anyone confirm this?

@jensen Thank you!!

Did you complete 5 battle quests, and if so, 1) did you complete them with the same pet? Did you ever lose or skip any?, 2) how much EXP do you have to spend on stats?, 3) is all of the EXP on the same pet?
Solsticesprite
unlocked for me immediately so ???
I am not wearing anything Amberglow is wearing. I have thirty five pets that I all train. I had exactly one green pet and she is t12 (that is, I was going there to train her and NPC Jim unlocked to my surprise). I have in my Inventory Fierce Wig (a BHH snag) Cloud Baby Flynn Frankenpie (right gumdrop) Sauerkraut Stew New Year Token Hydrus Anyu Plushie Froggy Bone Headdress (from Bones) Earth Charm Sanke Koi and Seafood Potato. My guess: since he's all about the new year resolutions is that the New Year Token was it.

im totally confused. i had some pets in training, none in training, all my battle quests done (that i can do), none of that worked

Okay that didn't work for me either...
Did you get the event on the battle quest page, or did you have to go refresh at the training center?
Though I did go back to the training center and nothing happened...

Maybe it needs to be a combination of completing battle quests and having pets who have finished their training? oO
