Aniimo Rainbow of the Ground: get Irisalis

Aniimo Rainbow of the Ground requires Irisalis to join you, not merely finishing the story quest with the same name. The published launch route gathers 99 Irisalis Petals, crafts the personal Legendary Aniipod and completes Irisalis's special encounter.

From petals to an ally

1. Open Events → Legendary Journey → Walking with Irisalis and check its current availability and prerequisites on your server. Inspect How to Obtain for your account's remaining petal sources before buying anything.
2. Gather 99 Irisalis Petals, then craft Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis in that event. This is a special encounter key, not an ordinary capture device for a wild spawn.
3. Follow the resulting Rift Exploration marker and defeat Irisalis: Rampage. Prepare recovery and a functional team; Aniimo best early team: build around your starter explains the roles. An old recommended team is not a guaranteed current win.
4. Complete the post-fight interaction. Current published walkthroughs describe Soothe, then holding Become allies! Follow the live prompt through the joining sequence and check your roster and achievement afterward.

The developer's launch letter confirms the redesign from repeated random throws to a personal pod and exclusive story encounter. It describes the final action more generally as a pod throw; that is not evidence that endlessly throwing ordinary Aniipods is still required.

The event deadline needs care

Published routes give December 10, 2026, with a December 9 calendar date appearing for American time zones. UNSURE: this batch has not independently reconciled the current server timer, exact closing hour or post-event acquisition. Do not postpone on a promise of permanent availability, or assume retained petals guarantee later entry. The present panel is the authority for your server.

Single source: the acquisition route has independent supporting descriptions and a primary redesign notice. The current achievement trigger, retry/refund behavior and console parity still lack the required independent award evidence. We do not publish a fixed weekly petal budget, paid-pod requirement or guaranteed missable-free route. No in-game testing.
