Trade evolution round trips - trade, evolve, trade back

A round trip is the trade that is really a favour. Your Aniimo goes to a friend, they evolve it, and it comes back. Nobody ends up with a new creature; one of you ends up with an evolved one.

When you need it

• An evolution that a friend can trigger and you cannot yet, because of level, region, or an item they have and you do not.
• Completing your collection without giving anything up: lend, let them register the evolved form, get it back.
• The reverse: evolving a friend's creature for them.

The rules that bite

Keep one of the species. You cannot trade away your last copy of a species. That applies to the lender at the start and to the borrower at the return, so neither side can be down to a single copy when it is their turn to send.

The 30-day lock. A traded Aniimo cannot be traded again for 30 days, and the lock travels with the creature rather than the account. In a round trip that means the return cannot happen for a month after the send. Plan for it: a round trip is a month-long favour, not an afternoon.

Affinity, and it rises on the way back. Both legs are trades, so both need the level the form requires, and the return leg is the harder one. A Lumin-stage basic form goes out at level 2; once evolved it is a Gamma or Nova stage form, which needs level 3 to come back. If the evolution produces an area or weather form, the return needs level 4. Check the return leg before you send, not after.

Some forms never come back. If the evolution would produce a Prismana form, the round trip cannot complete: Prismana Aniimo cannot be traded at all, so your creature would be stuck on the other side.

How a round trip works here

On Aniimo Trade a round trip is its own kind of trade with its own checklist: proposed, accepted, sent, returned, done. The lender ticks sent when they hand the creature over; the borrower ticks returned when it goes back; both confirm at the end.

Two protections sit around it, because the game offers none:

• Borrowing needs a record. You can only ask to borrow after two completed swaps, both confirmed by the other side.
• A lender can report a default. If it does not come back, the lender marks the trade not returned. That count is shown on the borrower's profile and on every ticket they appear on.

Before you lend

Check the borrower's completed trades and whether they have any not-returned marks. Agree in chat on the date the lock ends. And keep a second copy of anything you would hate to lose, because a favour is still a risk.
