The Aniipods you can bring
Seven kinds, each with its own cap inside the rift:
Aniipod×50 each Basic item used for catching Aniimo.
Aniipod Pro×50 each An improved Aniipod for catching Aniimo with a 1.5x capture chance.
Aniipod Ultra×1 each A rare Aniipod that guarantees successful Aniimo capture. The Potential rating of the caught Aniimo will be at least Elite.
Aniipod Hyper×50 each An advanced Aniipod for catching Aniimo with increased toss speed and a 2x capture chance.
Aniipod Track×50 each An advanced Aniipod for catching Aniimo that automatically tracks nearby targets with 2x capture chance.
Aniipod Mega×50 each An advanced Aniipod for catching Aniimo with a 2x capture chance.
Tumbler×1 each An extremely rare Aniipod. Roll it along and it catches any Aniimo it passes, at twice the usual catch rate–or six times the rate on Aniimo drawn together by nurturing.
