The free Sparkling egg
The Institute gifts a Sparkling egg at the start: a guaranteed shiny. Hatch it in the Homeland Hatchinator and keep that partner for breeding, since the Sparkling trait is passed down 100% to the offspring when you designate that parent.
The Hatchinator and Caress
Eggs hatch on a real-time timer. The Caress feature finishes an incubation instantly but is limited per day. Save it for guaranteed-result eggs (Perfect, Elite, Alpha) rather than a standard egg.
Prismana forms
Some Aniimo have a rare regional form called Prismana. Like the Sparkling trait, it is inherited 100% from the designated parent. A Prismana form caught early is therefore worth a whole line.
What we do not know yet
Breeding access conditions, species compatibility, inheritance of Potential and personality axes, the Dreamy mutation rate: none of this was measurable in beta. These pages will fill up with community reports.
FAQ
Should I keep the starting Sparkling egg?
Yes: it gives a guaranteed shiny, and the Sparkling trait is passed down 100% in breeding from the designated parent.
How many times per day can Caress be used?
The daily limit exists but its exact value is undocumented. It will be published after reports.
