Every Aniimo evolution requirement
This is the whole list for base forms: source, destination, the Aniimo level, every other condition and the exact material cost. The level column is the creature’s own level, not your Pathfinder Level. A condition marked Defeat Alpha or Defeat Omega is a one-time unlock on your account, so it stays cleared for every later candidate. Conditions naming a personality, a Potential rating or a Pathfinder skill belong to the individual copy you select. Regional, weather and Prismana forms add their own location or time on top: those 54 routes are listed in the form-route table.

Choose the branch before raising the candidate
Each strip below shows direct branches from the named source’s Basic form. Emberpup first evolves into Flameruff; Flameruff then branches into Scorchhowl or Inferlupa. For regional requirements and full costs, follow the exact form in the Aniilog evolution section.
Flameruff family. Scorchhowl requires its Alpha unlock and one Blaze Stone. Inferlupa requires Journey: Warrior, one Night Stone and six Unbroken Flameruff Spirits. Both require level 20.
Chirpi family. All three Basic branches require level 18 and one Gust Stone. Tromber also needs acquired HP Potential of at least 6 and the Magic Horn Pathfinder skill; Tubster needs its Alpha unlock and acquired Break Potential of at least 6.
Helmwhelp family. Helgon requires 30 world chests and one Gust Stone. Infergon requires its Omega unlock, Perfect Potential and one Blaze Stone. Both require level 48.
Helmut family. Both Basic branches require level 45 and one Night Stone. Pawney requires pulling out the Sword of Bravery; Rookey requires a Counter kill inside Ballistic Guard plus the Unwavering Rampart Pathfinder skill.
Use the Inferlupa Journey walkthrough for the quest steps, and the Flameruff Aniilog entry for the required materials and quantities. If the branch decision is really a question about the finished creature, the Inferlupa build page and the Geoclaw build page say what each ending plays like.
Fenmane is the one evolution that needs another player
Basic Fentuft reaches Fenmane at level 42 with one Roar Stone, and its unlock is Exchange an Aniimo with a friend once. That is the only route in the game gated on a trade, and it is an account unlock: complete a single exchange and every future Fentuft can take the branch.
- 1Add the other Pathfinder as a friend
Exchanges are friends-only and start from a friend Profile. There is no auction house and no anonymous market.
- 2Raise Affinity to the exchange tier
Affinity is the friendship meter, and exchanges open at Affinity Level 2 with Common Aniimo in Lumin Stage Basic Form. Level 4 widens the list to Region and Weather Forms and to Umbral Aniimo, and Level 5 raises the Acquired Potential cap on a traded Aniimo to 10. Ordinary play together raises it.
- 3Spend a daily exchange
Both sides need one of their 5 daily exchanges left, and each swap costs 1,000 Credits. Your friend can run out before you do.
- 4Send a copy you can spare
A traded Aniimo cannot be exchanged again for 30 days, so use a duplicate rather than a trained or rare copy. The trading and Affinity guide has every refusal message and the gift route.
Compare the whole stat line before evolving
All 53 branches between base forms increase the six-axis base-stat total. Gains range from 16 to 201, with a median of 76. The total here is HP, Attack, Defense, Magic Defense, Break and EP Regen. Magic Attack is shown separately when comparing individual stats; it is not added again to that total.
An unevolved form can still have a higher individual stat. Flameruff has 111 Attack and 45 Break; Inferlupa has 89 Attack and 108 Break. Scorchhowl is the alternative branch with 119 Attack. Choose the role and skill kit you need rather than treating every stat as an upgrade.

Where every evolution material comes from
Eight elemental stones cover almost every branch, one per evolution. All eight drop from Alphas, and all eight sit in the Mysterious Vendor’s fixed stock in Astra for 40,000 Credits each, up to 5 a day, restocking at 04:00. That vendor is the only shop that sells six of the eight: the exceptions are Sprout Stone and Night Stone, which the Black Truffle Shop also trades for 2 Mutant Truffle each, limit 5.

Gust Stone carries 20 of the 107 branches and Sprout Stone 17, so those two are the ones worth buying on sight. Compare configured offers, currencies and purchase limits in the vendor and currency directory, and use the material farming guide for the world routes.
Melloblum: Journey, level and personality are separate
For Basic Budsquire to Melloblum, complete Flowers and Thorns, reach Aniimo level 27 and use a candidate whose personality contains Faithful. You need one Sprout Stone plus one Stamen of Cubbo’s Rose. The stamen comes from the same Journey: the Rosetower Wood quests hand it over, so finish the chain before you go shopping for it. Check the Budsquire Aniilog evolution section for this branch and its separate Thornblade alternative.
Form-specific conditions change the answer
There are 54 evolution branches beyond base-to-base routes. Regional, weather, night and Prismana forms can ask for a different location, time or weather while keeping the same level and cost. Select the exact form instead of copying the base-form requirements, and read the whole set in the form-route table.

Highland Emberpup: Russet HighlandsMudflat Budclaw: Tideblossom Coast
Keep the candidate in the specified form and visit the named region
Time of day

Personality
Four routes only: Budclaw to Geoclaw needs Tenacious, Budsquire to Melloblum needs Faithful, and Nighttime Popota splits on Instinctive plus Judicious for Panpanta against Energetic plus Playful for Piopiota
Use a candidate with the required letters; the personality guide covers how they are rolled
Change form
Catch the target form firstPay 1 Morph Orb
Use the catalog’s form-change section; this is separate from an evolution branch
For Flameruff, changing between Basic, Highland and Mountain Woods forms requires the target to have been caught and costs one Morph Orb, bought with Glimmer. Check the form-change section of its catalog entry for each target.
Farm in the order that avoids waste
- 1Pin the exact destination
Find your source form in the requirement table above, or open the Aniilog evolution section. Record the destination and all conditions.
- 2Clear the unlock first
If the branch lists an Alpha, an Omega, a Journey, a Sanctum or a friend exchange, complete it before buying materials. It stays cleared.
- 3Prepare the candidate
Meet its level, form, acquired Potential, personality and action requirements.
- 4Secure unique materials
Collect any required spirits or quest items. Elemental-stone substitutes do not cover these.
- 5Top up stones last
Buy from the Mysterious Vendor at 40,000 Credits, then check whether a Flux Crystal can cover the shortfall.
- 6Confirm the preview
Check the target form and every consumed quantity on the final evolution screen.
Frequently asked
How many evolution stones do Aniimo need?
Each branch that requires an elemental stone costs exactly one, and 9 of the 53 base-form routes cost no item at all. Two branches add a unique material on top. Find your source form in the requirement table above.
Where do you buy evolution stones in Aniimo?
All eight elemental stones drop from Alphas and sit in the Mysterious Vendor’s stock at 40,000 Credits each with a limit of 5 a day. Sprout Stone and Night Stone are also 2 Mutant Truffle each at the Black Truffle Shop.
Where do I get Stamen of Cubbo’s Rose?
From the Journey: Flowers and Thorns chain in Rosetower Woods, which is the same Journey the Melloblum branch requires. The Flowers and Thorns walkthrough has the checkpoints.
How do I get Fulminous Soul for Fulmintis?
The evolution screen’s Fulminous Soul is the item Soul of Electric Shock. It is season-gated and currently paid: the Companion Handbook Advanced Edition is its only source in the game. Hold one, bring Wisptis to level 29 and pay 1 Roar Stone. The Prismana Fulmintis egg from that Companion Handbook returns in Season S3 through Homeland gameplay.
Which Aniimo needs a trade to evolve?
Only Fentuft. Its Fenmane branch unlocks after you exchange one Aniimo with a friend, which is a permanent account unlock. See the trading and Affinity guide.
