# Minting a PixelPal Every user will need a PixelPal to start playing the game. A PixelPal is a soulbound ERC-721 NFT that can be minted **free of charge**. There are four different PixelPals that can be minted. All PixelPals adopt Pixelmon IPs: **Borg**\ **Byrus**\ ![](/files/tp6vXoCDD3nY6PglxoQ9) **Foxphin**\ **Boremon**\ ![](/files/NCc2zGQ6cg9UPzyTq64q) Users can choose their preferred PixelPal in the onboarding screen; there will be no differences to the ability or utility of PixelPals in season 1. All successful mints will output +100 Pet Points as a starter. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
