Image	Form	Element	Where It Appears
	Nighttime Form	Water	Echoback Landing at night

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
Echoback Landing

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.
