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 Susuta line, which runs to 4 entries in total, and one alternate Form has been published for it.

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.

Where To Find It
Popota 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.
Habitat |
|---|
Trait
Every Aniimo carries a passive Trait that is always active while it fights alongside a Pathfinder.
Trait | Effect |
|---|---|
Appeal | When entering battle, if the team has an opposite-sex Susuta family member, increases own BREAK efficiency by 30% for 15s. Cooldown: 20s. |
Traversal
The index grades three traversal capabilities, Climb, Fly and Swim, from level 1 to level 3. A Pathfinder inherits them by Twining with the creature, so Popota is worth keeping for how it gets you across the map as well as for what it does in a fight.
Capability | Grade |
|---|---|
Swim | Level 1 |
Skills
Popota brings 2 combat skills and 1 innate skill into a fight. Power is the skill's published damage figure and Cost is what it draws from the resource bar.
Skill | Type | Power | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Water Cannon | Combat | 65 | 20 | Jumps up and hurls a huge water ball at the target, dealing AoE damage and creating a puddle. |
Water Dash | Combat | 74 | 20 | Dashes at the target, dealing damage and knocking them back. |
ATK | Innate | 6 | 0 | (BREAK) Wields the power of water to attack targets at close range. |
Encounter routes
Form | Route |
|---|---|
Basic | Search western Echoback Landing beaches during day or night; an Echoback Landing Wild Surge is another chance-based route. |
Nighttime | Search Echoback Landing at night, including the shore near Alpha Panpanta, or evolve Nighttime Susuta at level 29 during the night. |
Search landmarks
Area or condition | Search cue |
|---|---|
Beachside Sandbars | Look along the shore southeast of the sandbars, among the Susuta. |
Alpha Panpanta: south | Inspect the mixed group just south of the Alpha. |
Alpha Panpanta: southeast | Follow the southeastern shoreline. |
Nighttime beach groups | Look for a sleeping Popota beside Susuta. |
Echoback Landing Bloom: west | Check the shore of the islet across from the Bloom during either day or night. |
Nighttime form | Search the shores near Alpha Panpanta at night. Leave and return later if needed. |
Choosing an evolution branch
Starting form | Result | Level | Materials | Unlock and conditions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Basic Popota | Basic Piopiota | 39 | 3 Wave Stones | Attract an opposite-gender Susuta to follow while Twined as Popota. |
Basic Popota | Basic Panpanta | 39 | 3 Wave Stones | Defeat Alpha Panpanta to unlock the branch. |
Nighttime Popota | Nighttime Piopiota | 39 | Wave Stones; confirm the required quantity in the Evolution menu. | At night, attract an opposite-gender Susuta to follow. Personality must contain both Energetic and Playful. |
Nighttime Popota | Nighttime Panpanta | 39 | 3 Wave Stones | Defeat Alpha Panpanta, evolve at night, and have both Instinctive and Judicious in the personality. |
For Piopiota, Twine as the appropriate Popota and approach Susuta on the Echoback beaches.
Find an opposite-gender Susuta. Its pink appearance and following behavior indicate attraction.
Open Evolution after the follower interaction unlocks the branch. Meet the level, material and any Nighttime personality/time requirements before confirming.
The Panpanta branch instead requires defeating Alpha Panpanta. The Nighttime branch also needs both Instinctive and Judicious in its personality; having only one is insufficient.
Battle and Homeland use
Both Popota forms provide Water Cannon and Water Dash. Water Cannon supplies a puddle, while Water Dash knocks back a hit target. Appeal uses the same opposite-sex Susuta-family party condition shown in the existing trait table.
