Nimbi is the small, cloud-white Aniimo filed as No.017 in the Aniilog, a Wind creature that fills the Support slot in a party. It drifts around in small groups over grassland, which makes it easy to spot from a distance and easy to walk up to once you are in the right zone.

Quick answer: Nimbi spawns in Nimbus Fields and The Argent Strait, both inside the Breezy Plains region. Catch one with an Anipod Pro when the prompt above it reads Guaranteed Success.


Where Nimbi spawns in Breezy Plains

Nimbi’s habitat entry names two zones, and both sit in the same region. The level of the Nimbi you meet depends entirely on which one you are standing in.

Nimbus Fields

This is the early-game option and the one most Pathfinders reach first. The zone runs from level 5 to 15 overall, with softer pockets inside it that sit as low as levels 3 to 4 and 4 to 5, plus a middle band around levels 6 to 9. If you only want a Nimbi to raise yourself, catch it here while it is still weak.

The Argent Strait

The second habitat is a much later zone, sitting at levels 28 to 32. A Nimbi caught here arrives with a head start, so it is the better stop if you are already deep into Breezy Plains and want a Support unit that can keep up with your party right away.

The peninsula spot

For a reliable single target, head to the peninsula in Breezy Plains that sits south of Nimbus Fields and west of Birchwood. A wild Level 33 Nimbi grazes in the grassy field near a stone archway there. Open the map, put your marker on that finger of land, and walk in from the north.

How to catch Nimbi with an Anipod Pro

Walk up to the wild Nimbi on foot rather than sprinting in. It floats low over open grass, so there is nothing blocking your throw line once you are within a few paces.
Equip an Anipod Pro and raise it. The lock-on reticle snaps to the Nimbi and a green capture prompt appears above its head.
Wait until that prompt reads Guaranteed Success, then throw. At that threshold the catch lands on the first attempt, so you do not need to soften the Nimbi up in combat first.

You will know it worked when the Aniilog card for No.017 pops up, listing Nimbi as a Basic Form Support with the Puff Up skill. The new Nimbi then shows up in the Support slot of your Aniimo party menu.

Nimbi skills: Cloud Orb, Cloud Shield, and Shrouded in Mist

Everything Nimbi does keys off its trait, Shrouded in Mist. It builds stacks while sitting off-field or landing basic attacks, and its skills change behaviour once four stacks are up.

Cloud Orb is the damage button, with a Might value of 30 and a Break rating of 100%. While Nimbi is Shrouded in Mist, the orb lands for 180% Might damage instead.

Cloud Shield is the reason to run Nimbi as a Support. It wraps the user in a cloud that absorbs damage up to 15% of max HP and cuts stamina consumption by 15% for 20 seconds. Under Shrouded in Mist, the absorption ceiling rises to 19% of max HP.


Nimbi evolution paths at Nova Stage

Nimbi branches at Nova Stage, and both routes share the same level gate. Get it to Aniimo level 21 first, then satisfy whichever second condition matches the form you want.

  • Turbo: Get Aniimo to level 21, then defeat Alpha Turbo.
  • ??? (unnamed form): Bring Aniimo to level 21, rest with the Pathfinder until night changes to day, and learn the passive talent Dreamsong.

The second path stays hidden as a question mark on the evolution screen until its conditions are met, so the requirement list is the only preview you get.

Star Up gains for Nimbi

Starring up Nimbi costs Nimbi tokens, which is the practical argument for catching duplicates rather than walking past the extra ones floating nearby. A Nimbi sitting at CP 708 gains ATK +10 and BREAK +5 from the upgrade.

If you are hunting a Nimbi specifically for the Support slot, the Argent Strait or that Breezy Plains peninsula will hand you one at a usable level straight away. If you would rather level it yourself and pick an evolution route deliberately, start in Nimbus Fields and work toward level 21 before you touch the evolution screen.
