11Monster Taming and Bonding223344Catching an Animon is only the beginning. After a creature joins your team, you raise it, build a bond with it, and help it grow into stronger forms. This page covers how taming, stat growth, and evolution work.5566Capturing in the Field7788In the overworld you reach for the Holoken and throw a Bilia at a wild Animon. There are two distinct overworld approaches that shape every capture attempt:991010ModeHow It WorksBilia ModeYou throw a Bilia directly to begin a capture. A short quick-time event on the throw determines how much the capture chance improves.Animon ModeYou send one of your own Animon out for a preemptive overworld strike. A successful hit stuns the wild creature, while a failed capture attempt afterward still leaves it stunned and easier to handle.1111Both modes feed into the same goal, but they reward different play styles: Bilia Mode is quick and direct, while Animon Mode treats capture as a small overworld setup. For the full catching loop, see Monster Collecting and How to Catch Animon.12121313Bilia Variants14141515There are three confirmed kinds of Bilia, each with its own role:16161717BiliaNotesBiliaThe standard capture item, used for most species.Velox BiliaA faster, premium variant included in the launch-window bonus.Lost BiliaA capture item tied to rarer encounters, also included in the launch-window bonus.1818Raising Your Animon19192020Captured Animon gain experience and level up through battle. As they grow they become stronger and can evolve into new forms. The Leveling and Progression page covers experience and growth in more detail.21212222Allocate Stat Points Yourself23232424Each time an Animon levels up it earns Stat Points, and these are not assigned automatically. You distribute them yourself from the Stat Management screen, reached by opening the menu, selecting the Animon tab, choosing a creature to view its info, and pressing the prompt in the bottom corner. There are six core stats to invest in, and you are free to build a creature however you want. Distributing points is crucial: an Animon that never has its points spent will feel weak in battle even if its level is high. Points can be redistributed later, so early choices are not permanent.25252626Ways to Gain EXP Quickly27272828MethodDetailsDiscard items at trash cansTrash cans in cities let you throw away unneeded items for EXP. Useful after long exploration, but do not discard crafting or move-enhancement materials.Cook for EXPThe Riso del Bosco recipe gives an Animon 1000 EXP. Buy the recipe once it appears in city restaurants.Use Experience BiliaAn Experience Bilia gives the Animon caught with it a one-time EXP boost on capture.Battle in high-level areasThe riskiest method. Fighting higher-level Animon grants large EXP, so save first and bring plenty of healing items. Opening with Animon Mode using your strongest creature gives a head start by lowering the enemy's health before the fight begins.2929Cook Food to Raise Innate Stats30303131At each area's fountain rest spot you can heal your party and also cook and craft from recipes. Several recipes raise an Animon's innate stats. When cooking, use Trey, as he is better at cooking than Ales or Nada and will not waste ingredients. (For crafting Bilia, the reverse is true: Ales has the higher success rate.)32323333Walking With Your Team34343535You can select one Animon from your party and bring it along as you travel towns, cities, and routes in Talea. Companion walking is small in mechanical terms but big in tone: it makes the bond between Trey and his roster part of the day-to-day rhythm of exploration.36363737The Anispace383839394040The Anispace is a personal space, set apart from the ordinary world, where your captured Animon live, rest, and can be trained. It is also customizable, so you can decorate it to your taste. Spending time here is part of bonding with your collection.41414242Emotional Attributes43434444Every Animon carries an emotional attribute such as Felicis (joy), Mestus (sadness), or Furor (anger). These attributes are tied to the creatures' emotions and matter in battle alongside their elemental type. Understanding your team's attributes helps you read how they perform. See Animon Attributes for the full set.45454646Evolution47474848Many Animon evolve as they grow, but evolution is never automatic. When a creature is ready to evolve, a yellow up-arrow appears next to its icon. To evolve it, open the menu, go to the Animon tab, select the creature, and choose Evolve from the list. For the complete picture, see the All Evolutions Guide.49495050Starter Evolution Lines51515252The five starters all reach a stage-two form at Level 18, each keeping its original type and attribute:53535454StarterStage TwoTypeAttributeMewaiiMaidellyVirusVortailFurtexAuraOzelashKouzearElectricSalabelVilenderDemonQuecchaQuequatorGeo5555Each stage-two starter then branches into one of two stage-three forms at Level 40, decided by which emblem item you use.

Confirmed requirements include level thresholds, held or used items, time of day, weather, repeated trait activation, and even sacrificing another Animon:61616262AnimonEvolves IntoRequirementSmellwingToxigallLevel 18ToxigallGarbasiliskLevel 38DeniuliFulgazeLevel 28 during daytimeAlmyunaLopyunaLevel 27 during nighttimeLampeckoLuxeckoLevel 25 with a LampaliteMushwickOwaxleLevel 20OwaxleNefandleLevel 30 with a CandleshroomRainxyRainagonUse the MestusMollupomObsidedgeLevel 26 with its Hidden Type revealedCocopaPapacoUse the SereumTamboadKerocrackLevel 30BoobatKonbianLevel 30 during daytimePinchopKlawllerLevel 30, sacrifice a NanafinSapsyDionybbleLevel 28SoblinGriblinLevel 28GriblinDespablinLevel 40 with a LustrostarCadedroNelumbierLevel 27 during rainy weatherPuffellaLequilarUse the FelicisTrinkoralEncantyssLevel 36 with a Crimson HornLanpitAlpaguetUse the FurorCrocobitTrepagatorLevel 37 in Area 24MedigleeTherapixLevel 40TwinklerSilverusLevel 36 with its Hidden Type revealedOgiemaskBabalureUse the HorrensFirtrichPinouflageLevel 37 while in Area 11MinubeChromauraCollect all 6 Minube colors, then evolve during Rainbow Weather6363Some evolutions split based on a battle result. Chagma becomes Gongbog if you land 5 critical hits in a single battle, or Natmiss if you miss 5 times in a single battle. Regional and form variants can lead to different evolutions too: a Northern Canabble becomes Birchette while a Southern one becomes Foiequack, and a Southern Rushog evolves into Volcabeko in Area 12 while a Northern one evolves into Blizzbull in Area 25. The three Toypette shapes (Cubishape, Rotoshape, Trigoshape) all combine, along with a Zord Head, into Anizord. Many fully evolved or single-stage Animon, such as Nanafin, Carrigante, Katamos, and Arct-Rex, have no evolution at all.64646565A few Animon's final forms also depend on the Hidden Type system or on rare crafted items, so the Prismatype item (used to grant an Animon its Hidden Type) is valuable for creatures like Mollupom and Twinkler that can only evolve once their Hidden Type is out.66666767Quirks68686969Each Animon carries an innate quirk, a small built in behavior that shapes how it acts in and out of battle. Official patch notes have named quirks such as Hoarder, which interacts with item pickups, Stunner, and Jump Scare, and rarer species can roll one of several possible quirks when captured.70707171If you are not happy with an Animon's quirk, a gadget called Appendix Q can change it. It can be crafted at rest spots from 2 Anivite EX, 10 Glass, and 1 Diamond, with Ales offering the best crafting success rate for gadgets, and crafting it repeatedly eventually teaches you the recipe. Because its materials are rare, it is worth saving Appendix Q for Animon that are hard to recapture. See Items and Currency for related materials and Crafting and Cooking for how crafting works.72727373Building a Bond74747575Spending time with your Animon, battling alongside them, and caring for them in the Anispace all feed into the relationship between Trey and his team. The story leans on this connection, framing your creatures as companions rather than just tools.76767777Related Pages78787979See Starter Animon for your first creature, Combat System for how raised Animon perform in battle, and Crafting and Cooking for items that support your team.
