Dazmand is a Lightning Support creature at the Nova stage, and right now the fastest way to add it to your roster is the Aniimo Discovery event. The event drops packs of wild Dazmand into the open world and gives you a search tool to find them, while a separate evolution path lets you turn a Pomegg into Dazmand once you have cleared the related quests.

Quick answer: Open Events, select Aniimo Discovery, use a Search to track Dazmand in Rosetower Wood, and catch it there. You can also evolve a level 25 Pomegg after finishing the event research.


What you need before searching

Dazmand is gated behind account progress and the current client, not a permanent habitat spawn. Confirm the following before you open the event panel.

  • Reach the Student II title to unlock Aniimo Discovery.
  • Run the Version 1.1 client so the event appears in the Events menu.
  • Play on the regional server tied to your account, since event progress does not merge across servers.
  • Keep Vein Essence in reserve for extra Searches after the free attempts run out.

Catch Dazmand in the Aniimo Discovery event

Catching wild Dazmand is the cleaner route because each capture also pushes the event research forward. You get a small number of free Searches, and any beyond that cost Vein Essence.

Open the main menu and choose Events. Look for the Aniimo Discovery tab in the event list, which announces that the Institute has found a brand-new creature in Idyll.

Inside Aniimo Discovery, open the Research Center and press the Track button. The first three Searches are free; the remaining two draw from your Vein Essence. Free attempts do not stack, so spend them before the next refill lands.
When the Search finishes, the map marks the creatures’ gathering spot. The active pin is at Rosetower Wood in Breezy Plains, with a note indicating that many target Aniimo were located there.

Travel to the pin and search the hill. A pack of roughly ten creatures gathers there, mixing wild Pomegg and Dazmand, with about three Dazmand in the group.

Reduce the Dazmand’s HP, break them, and throw from behind to improve your capture chances. A Tumbler Pod is useful here, as it can scoop up multiple targets in one go.

The event can be repeated, so short check-ins pay off. Return whenever a free Search refills instead of trying to bank attempts you cannot stockpile.


Evolve Pomegg into Dazmand

Dazmand is the final stage of the Pomegg line, so you can also build a specific Pomegg into it. This path still depends on the event, because the evolution stays locked until the Aniimo Discovery quests are done.

  • Raise the Pomegg to Aniimo level 25.
  • Finish the missions tied to the Aniimo Discovery event.
  • Have a Roar Stone ready as the evolution material.

The evolution entry itself spells this out. It lists Dazmand as a Nova Stage form with an unlock condition of completing the Aniimo Discovery quests and an evolution criteria of Aniimo level 25.

Once the requirements are met, open Aniimo Management, select the Pomegg, and confirm the evolution. You know it worked when the creature reads as Dazmand at the Nova stage in your roster.


Ecological Investigation research objectives

The Research Quest list under Aniimo Discovery is split into three tracks. Clearing them is what unlocks the Pomegg evolution branch and the event rewards, and progress also grants Search Bonuses that make later Searches easier.

TrackObjectives
Catch AniimoCatch 3, 5, 10, and 20 Dazmand; catch 1 with an Elite rating or higher
Aniimo TrialsWith Dazmand deployed, defeat 1, then 3, then 5 Aniimo
Aniimo CompanionsUse Dazmand’s skills 1, 3, and 5 times; use Dazmand’s Ultimate once

Treat the Elite-rating catch as its own goal, separate from the catch-count milestones. Once you have a Dazmand, bring it into regular battles to progress the combat and skill-use tasks while continuing to spend your free Searches.


Event rewards and the Perfect Dazmand Egg

The catch track is worth pushing past your first capture. Reaching the 20-catch milestone awards a Perfect Dazmand Egg, which hatches into a Dazmand with Perfect potential. The reward pool also includes Tumblers, Breezy Plains Dewdrop Crystals, and Growth Fruit.

Perfect potential is the egg’s only guarantee; it does not assure a Sparkling appearance, a Prismana form, an Elite rating, or any particular personality, so assess the hatched creature as usual. Hatch the egg at an Outpost Hatchinator or Home Hatchinator, not through the Events screen.

Aniimo Discovery is a limited window and closes on October 9, 2026. Because free Searches refill periodically and cannot be saved up, spend every attempt across the run instead of leaving them for the final day.
