Gretchen Fetchem

Gretchen Fetchem
Gretchen Fetchem is the resident hunter of the village. She'll happily track down and capture any pinata species you have already had in your garden. This can be useful for obtaining higher level pinatas, should taming one take too long for your needs.

Viva Piñata
In Viva Piñata, Gretchen will open her shop once you reach level 7 and will offer three services:
 * Express Hunts, catches a pinata relatively quickly but costs double that of Standard
 * Standard Hunts, catches a pinata slowly but for a lower price than Express
 * Retrieve Dragonache. This option appears when you send your Dragonache away from your garden, and selecting it will have Gretchen bring the Dragonache back to your garden free of charge

Gameplay

 * Once Gretchen has caught the requested pinata, you will receive an alert and an option to place the pinata will appear
 * If you accidentally had Gretchen catch the wrong species of pinata, you can have her release the pinata
 * If you take too long to claim the pinata, Gretchen will release them back into the wild
