Wind Aniimo for trade

Which wind Aniimo you can raise instead of trading for

5 evolution lines pass through wind. If you already own the first form, the later ones are a matter of levels rather than of finding a partner — and a trade is only worth it for a form you cannot reach, or for the variant you want that nobody near you has. A line can change type on the way, so a branch is tagged where it leaves wind.

• Chirpi → Tromber or Cornet or Tubster
• Nimbi → Dreapledark or Turbo
• Flutternym → Gracewing
• Eko → Eklue
• Helmwhelp → Helgon or Infergonfire

Catching a wind Aniimo instead

12 of the 13 wind Aniimo have a known spawn. Between them they turn up in Beast Fang Ridge, Blitzwood, Forest of Falling Stars, Nimbus Fields, Russet Highlands, Sea of Flowers, The Argent Strait, The Mistwoods. Where a creature spawns somewhere you already play, catching is usually faster than raising affinity with a stranger — trading wins for the forms that do not spawn where you are, and for the regional and weather variants that need affinity level 4.

What wind brings to a team

The 13 wind Aniimo break down as 6 Support, 4 Break, 2 Heal and 1 DPS. The highest base total among them is Tubster at 550. Roles are why two players with the same element still want different creatures from it, and why a spare that looks ordinary to you is the one somebody else is short of. What people are asking for moves week to week; how trading works covers the affinity levels and the 30-day lock that apply to every one of them.
