GHX-005, also known as 'Pete'.

Partner Machineries (パートナーマシナリー), or PMs (パシリ) for short, are floating pet robots, like the Mags from PSO, and can be found in one's My Room. In Story Mode Ethan's PM is called 'Pete', but in Extra Mode and Network Mode players are able to choose and change their name themselves.

PMs have several functions:

• Item storage
• Item Synthesis
• Engaging in combat as a sidekick (fourth-stage only)
• Providing plot information and hints (Story Mode)

They also have several statistics:

• Striking - raises the profiency in synthesizing Melee Weapons
• Ranged - raises the profiency in synthesizing Ranged Weapons
• Technic - raises the profiency in synthesizing Casting Weapons
• Armor - raises the profiency in synthesizing Armors
• Production Level (max. 100) - the sum of the above four; determines when evolution takes place
• Combat Level (max. 100) - dictates a PM's stats in combat and increases overall synthesis proficiency; increased by having the PM participate in combat a lot

To increase the first four statistics, PMs can be fed 99 Items in every 12-hour period, which resets every day at 12 AM and PM (JST for the Japanese servers, PST for the English ones). They will refuse to eat any Synthesis Boards, Grinders or Presents. One easy way of raising one's PM is to creating a new character for its initial items, put these in the account bank, and repeat. For this, Newmans are best for Technic; Casts for Armor or Ranged; Humans or Beasts for Striking.

Regarding synthesis, the distinct PM evolutions each specialize either in Striking, Ranged or Technic; there seem to be none specializing in Armor. The battle-usable evolutions all have associated combat behaviour and equipment. Not much is known about their stats in combat currently, other than that this is dependent on their evolution and Combat Level.

An item called PM Device ZERO is used to reset your PM's stats to zeros. Although you will lose the level and form of your PM by using the item, you will not lose your money or items stored in that bank.
