Aniimo: How to Catch 1 Eko and 1 Pomegg in the Forest of Falling Stars

Catching one Eko and one Pomegg is a fixed objective in the Forest of Falling Stars, and it blocks progress on the Chapter 1 Elite Training board until both creatures are registered. Both live in the same area of Breezy Plains, but they do not share a spawn spot — Pomegg wanders the open flowered ground, while Eko sits up near the stone ruins at the top of the hill.

Quick answer: Find Pomegg in the open forest floor near the broken archway, then ride uphill to the ruins under the Soaring Glide structure for Eko. Both spawn at Level 20–25.

What the Eko and Pomegg task is tied to

The objective appears twice in the game’s UI. It shows up as the Elite Training task Stargazer under the Chapter 1 achievement “First Steps with Aniimo: Forest of Falling Stars,” where it pays out 2 badges, and it also tracks on screen through the Aniimo Enthusiast quest as “Catch 1 Eko & 1 Pomegg.” Clearing four tasks on that Elite Training board is what lets the Chapter 1 story step “Fragrant Colors (Part 1)” move forward.

The other main tasks on the same board are activating the Bloom in the Forest of Falling Stars, raising two Aniimo to level 25, catching and reporting 30 Aniimo in total, and attending the Bloom Festival. You only need four of them.

Aniipod requirements for a Level 20–25 catch

Eko is a Wind, Support-role Aniimo at the Lumin stage with a base catch rate of 56% at full HP. That number is multiplied by the Aniipod you throw, and each Aniipod also has a hard level ceiling. The forest spawns sit at Level 20–25, which rules out the plain Aniipod entirely.

Aniipod	Multiplier	Works up to	Eko at full HP
Aniipod	×1	Lv 1	56%
Aniipod Pro	×1.5	Lv 25	84%
Aniipod Hyper	×2	Lv 35	100%
Aniipod Mega	×2	Lv 35	100%
Aniipod Track	×2	Lv 35	100%
Aniipod Ultra	Guaranteed	Lv 35	100%
Sparkling Cube	Guaranteed	Lv 35	100%

Those percentages assume an untouched target. Damaging the creature, breaking it, or throwing from behind pushes the real odds higher, so an Aniipod Pro is enough for the forest population even though it is not a guaranteed catch.

If your throw is refused with “This target’s level is too high. Try raising your level before coming back to catch it,” you have hit the Aniipod’s level ceiling. That happens most often with Pomegg spawns outside the forest, which can reach Level 44 and need to be worn down in battle first.

Where to catch Pomegg in the Forest of Falling Stars

Pomegg is the easier half of the objective. The pink creatures are common across the low, open part of the forest, particularly around the broken stone archway and the scattered trees past the ruins. Nearby spawns typically sit around Level 22.

Open the map, select the Forest of Falling Stars in Breezy Plains, and fast travel to the nearest Bloom. The forest is split across several level bands from 18–20 up to 23–24, and the section you want is the purple-tinted ground on the lower slopes.

Sweep the grassy field between the dirt path and the stone ruins on foot. Pomegg tends to cluster in small groups near the archway, so once you spot one there are usually more within a few steps.

Throw an Aniipod at it. A failed throw does not despawn the group, so simply throw again — the catch registers the No. 036 Pomegg entry in your Aniilog and ticks the quest to 1/2.

Where to catch Eko in the Forest of Falling Stars

Eko is the one people miss, because it does not share Pomegg’s ground. The Forest of Falling Stars is its only habitat in Idyll, with 20 placed spawn points across the area at Level 20–25, and the reliable cluster is at the top of the hill rather than down in the flowers.

From the lower forest, head for map coordinates around -1562, 1088. Twine with a mount and follow the dirt road that climbs away from the open field.

Ignore the creatures along the road and keep climbing until you reach the stone steps beneath the Soaring Glide portal structure. Dismount at the top so you can aim properly.

Look along the cliff edge and under the trees beside the ruins. Eko is often asleep here, which is the ideal state to throw at — a sleeping target will not scatter while you line up the shot.

Aim and throw the Aniipod. If you would rather weaken it first, Eko is a Wind type that takes 1.6× damage from Lightning and Light, and resists Ice, Wind, and Dark at 0.625×.

How to confirm the objective completed

Each successful throw pops an Aniilog card for the creature you just registered, and the quest counter on the HUD moves up. Once both are in, the tracker reads 2/2 and swaps the objective text for a Claim Rewards prompt. Clearing the Aniimo Enthusiast quest hands over Glimmer x30 and an Incredible Egg x1, while the Stargazer task credits 2 badges toward the Forest of Falling Stars Elite Training board.

If the counter does not move after a catch, check that the creature you caught was inside the Forest of Falling Stars boundary — a Pomegg caught elsewhere in Breezy Plains registers in the Aniilog but does not advance this task. Hold on to the Eko, too: it evolves into Eklue at Level 25 once its acquired ATK Potential reaches 6 or higher, which pairs neatly with the “raise 2 Aniimo to level 25” task sitting on the same board.
