Geniemon spawns announce themselves. Look for a small, thin beam of light in the environment; that glow means a Geniemon is nearby. The beam’s color changes with rarity, so you can quickly judge whether it’s worth the approach before committing.

For targeted hunts, deploy Bro Boxie. When you trigger its Support skill, it marks the location of one nearby Geniemon and one chest within 100 meters for 30 seconds, while also dealing a burst of damage to nearby enemies. Its passive perks make it a strong exploration pick even when you’re not actively scanning: a wider auto‑pickup radius, extra EXP from defeated enemies, and a chance for bonus loot.

Tip: the scan doesn’t run passively—fire Bro Boxie’s Support on cooldown while sweeping new areas or revisiting zones for clean‑up.

How to get Geniemon (treats, quest, and pass rewards)

  • Feed treats at a spawn to befriend a Geniemon. Treats come in multiple rarities; higher rarity improves your success rate.
  • Some Geniemon are distributed through the Bard’s Tome Battle Pass at Level 30 and can also appear as event rewards.
  • There’s a Special Side Quest, “Go, Geniemons!,” in the Sanctuary that centers on this system.
Tip: carry a few higher‑rarity treats when you’re actively hunting, so you don’t miss a rare find.

Shiny Geniemon and variants

Shiny Geniemon are easy to spot once you know the tell: their base has a distinct sparkling animation. They also appear in a different color from the standard look. Note: the Ardent variant is also color‑shifted, so rely on the sparkle to confirm a Shiny rather than palette alone.

Variant Trait slots Notes
Miraculous 3 Visual palette variant.
Ardent 3 Visual palette variant (color differs from base).
Shiny 4 Distinct sparkle; one extra trait slot over other variants.

Leveling and ascending Geniemon

Geniemon level using Creams or by consuming other Geniemon as EXP, with level gates at 20, 40, and 60. Hitting these thresholds unlocks trait rolls that can include stat boosts and quality‑of‑life perks during exploration.

To progress past a gate, you’ll need to Ascend using a Geniemon of the same element. That opens the next set of levels and more trait opportunities.

If you’re chasing specific spawns, start with unexplored pockets and sweep with Bro Boxie’s scan on cooldown, watching for those thin light beams. Bring higher‑rarity treats for rare finds, level and ascend core picks to push past the 20/40/60 gates, and keep an eye out for the sparkle that signals a true Shiny. When you’re nearby, swing through the Sanctuary to tackle the “Go, Geniemons!” quest and round out your roster work.
