Catching the Legendary Irisalis in Aniimo requires more than just exploring the continent of Idyll and throwing a standard AniiPod. The Legendary Aniimo is tied to the Legendary Journey: Windchaser's Departure season event. If you want to get your hands on the new Aniimo, here's a complete guide to catching and unlocking Irisalis.
Irisalis Stats and Abilities in Aniimo
As a Nova Stage Legendary, Irisalis has incredible offensive capabilities. She holds a massive 130 ATK stat, ranking her among the hardest-hitting Aniimo in the game. Her core combat loop relies on creating Iris Clones. Thanks to her Bloom Cluster trait, every time an Irisalis clone strikes an enemy, she gains a stack of Dance Power.
Once she reaches 9 stacks of Dance Power, her next skill costs 50% less EP and restores HP to nearby allies based on 8% of her own max HP. Her Grass Lv. 4 proficiency makes her great at planting seeds and gathering resources, and her Fly Lv. 3 makes her good for traveling across the game. Here are some of her base stats in the game.

How to Unlock the Irisalis Encounter in Aniimo
Unlike the beta version of the game, Aniimo 1.0 doesn't let you farm Irisalis by throwing AniiPods at her. Instead, you need to collect Iris Petals. You can earn the petals by completing missions, exploring Idyll, and progressing through the main questline.
Once you gather enough Iris Petals, take them to the Polaris Institute and use the exchange interface to craft the Legendary AniiPod: Irisalis. Crafting this item automatically marks her exclusive story encounter on your map. You can also craft the Legendary AniiPod: Windchaser's Departure during the event for a 100% capture rate.
How to Catch Irisalis in Aniimo
Now that you know how to unlock the Irisalis Encounter, note that you only get one attempt to catch her. To help you get a successful capture, here's a step-by-step guide on how to catch Irisalis in Aniimo.
- Farm Iris Petals: Progress through the main story and complete Windchaser's Departure seasonal activities out in the world to collect Iris Petals.
- Craft the Legendary AniiPod: Open the Polaris Institute menu and spend your collected Iris Petals to craft the Legendary AniiPod: Irisalis.
- Trigger the Exclusive Encounter: Follow the new marker that appears on your map to begin the one-time scripted story sequence.
- Defeat Irisalis in Combat: Bring a dedicated healer since you only get one shot. Deplete her health bar completely. Because she's a high-level Legendary, make sure your team has strong Break damage and elemental advantages.
- Throw the Legendary AniiPod: Once she's defeated, throw your crafted Legendary AniiPod to secure a 100% guaranteed capture.
