Aniimo Discovery: a Dazmand hunt from 25 September to 9 October, according to the files
According to the 1.0 client files, the Aniimo Discovery event opens on 25 September and runs until 9 October. Polaris Institute sends Pathfinders after an Aniimo billed as "brand-new": Dazmand, the evolution of Pomegg. You track it down with search attempts, then work through quests: catch it, fight with it and use its skills. The event hasn't been announced officially: dates and content may change.

Dates
On the Europe server, the event runs from 25 September at 04:00 UTC to 9 October at 03:59 UTC. On the Americas server, everything is four hours later (04:00 UTC−4), and eight hours earlier on the Asia server (04:00 UTC+8).
How it works
The event is called Aniimo Discovery. Its blurb: “The Institute has discovered a brand-new Aniimo in Idyll! Go track it down!” The Aniimo in question is Dazmand, the evolution of Pomegg.
The rules describe how it works:
- You spend search attempts to track the Aniimo across Idyll, then catch it. A search can turn up either a Dazmand or a Pomegg.
- Free search attempts are refilled regularly. They don’t stack: use them before the next refill.
- Out of free attempts? You can keep searching by spending Vein Essence.
- Investigation quests give rewards, and your progress unlocks search bonuses in the Research Center.
Investigation quests
The files sort them into three tabs:
| Tab | Quests |
|---|---|
| Catch Aniimo | Catch 3, 5, 10, then 20 Dazmand in total. Catch 1 Dazmand with an Elite rating or higher. |
| Aniimo Trials | Defeat 1, 3, then 5 Aniimo with Dazmand in your team. |
| Aniimo Companions | Use one of Dazmand’s skills 1, 3, then 5 times. Use its Ultimate once. |
Reward details aren’t listed here: they can’t be read reliably from the tables.
Why it matters
Dazmand is in the official index, but the world data extracted at launch gives it no wild spawn point: as far as we know, today you get one by evolving a Pomegg. If the event ships as is, it will be the first chance to catch one.
What this changes for you
- Note the dates: 25 September to 9 October. Free attempts don’t stack, so dropping in regularly beats doing everything on the last day.
- Stock up on Aniipods. Five of the twelve quests are Dazmand catches, including one Elite or better.
- Keep a team slot for Dazmand. The other seven quests ask you to fight with it or use its skills.
- Check in game when it opens. If the event page differs from these files, the game wins. The rest of the season is in our Season 1 schedule.
Frequently asked questions
When is Aniimo Discovery?
From 25 September 2026 at 04:00 UTC to 9 October at 03:59 UTC on the Europe server, according to the files. On the Americas server, four hours later; on the Asia server, eight hours earlier.
Can Dazmand already be obtained?
Dazmand evolves from Pomegg. However, the world data extracted at launch contains no wild Dazmand spawn point: the event would be the first chance to meet one in the wild.
Do you have to pay to search?
The rules include free search attempts, refilled regularly but not stackable. Once they're used up, you can keep going by spending Vein Essence. The rules don't mention any purchase.
