How To Catch A Firebreathing Dragonfly
To find a Firebreathing Dragonfly, you’ll need to search aroundMirror Pond Ruins, Mirror Fields, and near Badruu and Delaila’s Family Farm, and they can appear any time of day.
While any sort of smoke bomb will work on them, the best kind to use is theSticky Smoke Bomb, whose recipe isobtainable from Auni once you improve your Bug Catching level, as they slow it down considerably.
Their bright coloring can help you spot them from far awayand give you a better chance of dazing them before they fly off. TheSmoke Candle consumable, also obtainable from Auni, can help as well.
Repeatedly pelting them with the Sneaky Smoke Bomb while it’s dazed, and you’re up close on it,can give you a slightly better chance of dazing them again before they can fly off if you don’t have Sticky Smoke Bombs.
