Which egg produces Helmut is not known yet. Named eggs lock their outcome, so one very likely does. We will not name it until we have watched one hatch.

Landing the catch
Helmut is a special case
Everything below is how catching works for any Aniimo — it is not specific to Helmut.
- Wear it down first. Depleting a wild Aniimo's HP and dealing break damage to its break gauge both increase capture success.
- Come at it from behind. Attacking an Aniimo or throwing a capture pod at it from behind grants a back attack bonus that greatly increases the catch rate.
- Better still, catch it asleep. Sleeping wild Aniimo can be approached and captured while they are asleep.
- Put a trap in its path. Traps can be set in the terrain, such as in a wild Aniimo's path, to increase the likelihood of capturing it.
- Throw the right tier. Aniipods come in multiple tiers, and higher tiers carry higher base capture success rates, so stronger Aniipods are recommended for difficult captures, although some specialised models such as Aniipod Track and Tumbler trade raw catch power for utility effects.
- Out-level it. Being a lower level than the target creature reduces catch odds.
- Expect to miss anyway. Aniimo displays a catch success chance when you aim an Aniipod at a wild Aniimo, and any throw below 100% can still fail after the pod shakes.
If it is an Alpha or a Legendary
- Alpha. Alpha Aniimo bosses, including quest Alphas, cannot be captured mid-fight, but defeating one grants an opportunity to catch it, although catch rates are low.
- Save the Ultras. High-tier Anipods, such as Anipod Ultras, should be saved for capturing Alpha Aniimo rather than spent on standard wild Aniimo.
- Legendary. Catching a Legendary Aniimo requires crafting its Legendary Aniipod from legendary tokens, which unlocks the creature's exclusive one-time story encounter, where the player must defeat it in battle before throwing the crafted Aniipod to capture it.
The full catching guide covers pod tiers, stealth and Alpha hunting at length.

How does Helmut evolve?
- A perfect Pawney starts with catching Helmut: evolving a perfect Helmut during The Legend of Helmuts and Helgons quest, before pulling the sword, yields a guaranteed perfect Pawney.
- Perfect potential carries through evolution: a perfect Helmut becomes a perfect Pawney, a perfect Helmwhelp a perfect Infergon, and a perfect Inferlupa requires a perfect Emberpup or Flameruff with regen and break as its top stats.
- Evolving Helmut into Infergon at the sword starts a fight with Omega Infergon, which must be defeated.
