Where Can I Find the "Tameable" Chocobos?
Here are my findings. Note that almost all of these are rare spawns and not always easy to tame. In my experience the Red Chocobo was the easiest to obtain and also the first you'll have access to.

- Seems to appear most often during sunny weather in grassy sections of the map (eastern half).
- Found in a treasure chest.
- On the western side of the map in the marshes. Weather doesn't seem to affect his appearance or spawn rate.
- You have to use Moogle Throw on a green orb machine in Academy HQ. Keep tossing Mog in until he finds it.
- Only spawns in the snowy areas (not the tunnels), and seems to be more often when you're near a Rambunctious Chocobo. Watch out for Tonberry while searching for Purple Chocobo.
