Pomawk

Pomawk is No. 037 in the Aniimo index, a Grass creature that fights in the BREAK role. Their towering manes display their wild nature, while their feral roars reveal their true colors. Their tails are built to store sound waves, releasing a sonic boom when they strike an opponent.

Wild Aniimo are taken with Aniipods, and once caught this one can be raised, sent into battle, kept at The Homeland, or traded to another player. It belongs to the Pomegg line, which runs to 3 entries in total, and 3 alternate Forms have been published for it.

Profile

Base Stats

The index publishes six base values for every Aniimo plus an Attributes total that adds them together. ATK drives damage, BREAK is what wears down an enemy's guard, P.DEF and M.DEF cover the two damage types, and REGEN governs how quickly resources come back. These are base figures and balance changes can move them.

Evolution

Pomawk grows out of Pomegg. It sits at the end of the line, with nothing published beyond it.

Forms

Besides its Basic Form, Pomawk has 3 published Forms. 1 of them carries a different elemental pairing from the Basic Form, so the Form a Pathfinder catches decides what the creature is weak and strong against.

Where To Find It

Pomawk is listed in 1 habitat. Which creatures actually appear also depends on weather, time of day, and local phenomena, so a listed habitat is where to look rather than a guarantee.

Trait

Every Aniimo carries a passive Trait that is always active while it fights alongside a Pathfinder.

Skills

The table lists Pomawk's four available combat moves across forms and capture unlocks, plus Sonic Boom and its basic attack. Choose two combat skills for the build. Power is the published damage figure and Cost is the resource required.

Evolution requirements

The Highland and Sea of Flowers Pomawk forms list completion of the Pomegg Party as their unlock requirement. Complete the stage rescue and nighttime return sequence for those forms; Basic Pomawk also has a direct evolution route that does not require visiting Rosetower Woods.

Returning to the Pomegg Party

1. Visit the makeshift stage south of Alpha Grizbo's cave and catch or defeat the first Pomawk.

2. Twine as Pomegg and speak with Worried Pomegg near the stage.

3. Enter Alpha Grizbo's cave to the north and speak with the trapped Pomawk at the back.

4. Return together to the stage and speak again, then wait for a new night cycle.

5. Check the returning Pomegg Party on later nights for the Pomawk performer.

A Rosetower Woods Wild Surge is another possible encounter route. Inspect the current Nurture preview before spending materials.

Grass breaker build

These parties are starting examples for a Grass damage setup. Prepare the support effects and resources before letting Pomawk create the BREAK opening.

Timing the BREAK window

1. For Rhythm Combo, press the follow-up as the closing ring reaches the skill icon to gain the additional Volume stack.

2. Hold Wild Show and release while its charge meter is in the gold segment for the additional 30% BREAK damage.

3. Sonic Boom instantly fills Volume. Use it when the ultimate resources fit the planned damage window.

4. Pass the opening to the damage dealer and recover resources before returning to Pomawk.

The Wild Show held-item contract shortens the charge needed for its perfect release, raises its Might from 70 to 79 and adds a 0.5-second stun. Its upgraded effect is separate from the base Power value in the skill table.

Available combat moves

Select two combat skills. Sonic Boom and the basic attack are listed separately from those combat slots.
