These monsters are pretty clever when it comes to adapting their strategies, and there's a few key things you should know about how they learn from your moves. First, you'll notice they build up resistance to your tricks like traps and status effects, so mixing up your approach is really important especially during longer hunts. The cool part is how they react to the environment too with things like sandstorms making some creatures more aggressive while others might group up with their pack during heavy rain.

Something interesting to keep in mind is how the wound system works when you're targeting specific body parts. Sure, hitting those weak spots deals nice damage, but creatures will start protecting injured areas and might even counter if you get too predictable. The whole ecosystem plays into this too since monsters will actually remember your strategies and adapt their behavior accordingly.

Tip: keep an eye on how monsters interact with each other during those territory fights because the outcomes can actually change their weaknesses. Like if you see a rathalos getting into it with a zinogre, that fight might leave the rathalos more vulnerable to certain attacks. And while you're hunting, remember that using focus mode too much on the same spots will make monsters specifically target you, so maybe switch up your approach if you notice them getting wise to your tactics.
