Fuck this flying rat, fuck its rare carve only drop, fuck its rare capture only drop, and fuck its tail that always stays just out of reach!

I'm pretty sure you can carve plates/gems from raths normally, and also from tail carves and face breaks. But yeah, the caps give you better chance than carves. Which actually misleads a lot of hunters into thinking all monsters have better odds dropping their rare mats on cap rather than a kill. Which is usually not true. Especially for monsters like Gore, which only drops its plate as a carve, but never as a cap reward.

I don't know about any of the 3ds games but I'm like 90% sure that plates/gems do not come from normal carves.
Tail carves yes, and I think only the ruby from breaking it's face.
