I just got to Augusta Tower (300 AF) and encountered the Flanitor monster, who is a MED type. MED monsters are relatively uncommon so far, as I'm still using Cait Sith whom you get almost immediately when the game begins.
Flanitor seems to be somewhat rare compared to the other monster groups in the area. Also, I've killed about 10 so far and haven't been able to tame one. Before I waste too much more time can someone let me know if Flanitor is significantly better than other MED types at this point in the game?

Flanitor has one great thing about him - of all the medics he learns Esunaga (Esuna on all) on the lowest level. Also, his Feral Link truly is a lifesaver. If you are about to be flattened, use his Feral Link, and when you are on full hitpoints he will cheer himself up so he can use it.
Flanitor is great but listen to this. You want Flanitor for the early Esuna. You also want the catigipillar (sp) who is the only monster in the game that learns elemental resist +30%. and it also learns raise real early so if you get it while your Flanitor is a low level, quickly level him up until he get eleresist and raise then infuse it into Flanitor. Then when Flanitor reaches level 34 and learns Esunaga (most of the game should be done by this point) infuse the Flanitor into a Green Chocobo for the single greatest medic in the world. Just infuse your Cait Sith with your Flanitor.
