Is catching wild Aniimo profitable?

Log turn-ins and outpost appraisals pay back the coin expense of blue Anipods or lower.

Capturing a creature on the first attempt yields enough outpost appraisal money to exceed the pod cost. Catching duplicates of the same species is routine when hunting for higher potential grades, traits, and alternate forms.

You can analyze and release or transfer these extra Aniimo individually or in bulk at the research console to free up storage space.

Managing Catches at the Console

Before clearing out storage for coin, inspect each Aniimo prior to confirming a release. Auto-releasing or batch releasing protects shiny and Sparkling Aniimo automatically, and catching a Sparkling Aniimo awards a Sparkling Sigil.

Auto-releasing without reviewing catches can discard special forms such as weather variants, split evolutions, and forms needed for the homestead. Lock or mark desired Aniimo with a star to prevent accidental transfers. Check for Alpha status, potential grades, and special forms before releasing any creature.
