Budclaw. branches at the Gamma Stage: it evolves into either Geoclaw or Shrubclaw — two separate creatures with their own entries, not a special form. The official index doesn't say what decides which one you get; we'll add that once we've seen it in-game.

Budclaw, answered

What element is Budclaw in Aniimo?

It depends on the form: Basic Form is Rock and Grass, Beach Form is Rock, Bay Form is Rock and Mudflat Form is Rock. The base values, trait and skills stay the same across every form — only the element and the habitat change.

Where do you find Budclaw?

The official Aniimo index lists Zephyrus Landbridge, Nimbus Fields, Berylline Causeway, Beast Fang Ridge, Echoback Landing, The Argent Strait and Tideblossom Coast. We have not stood there and seen it ourselves yet, so treat that as a lead rather than a fact — we will confirm or correct it once we have played the area.

How does Budclaw evolve?

In the official Aniimo index the line runs Budclaw. (Basic Form) → Geoclaw or Shrubclaw (Gamma Stage). Where two names share a stage, the line branches: the stage before evolves into one or the other. The index does not say what triggers each step or which branch you get — we will add that from our own playthrough rather than guess.

How many forms does Budclaw have?

4: Basic Form, Beach Form, Bay Form and Mudflat Form. Forms are the same creature, not separate entries — they share the same dex number, the same base values, the same trait and the same skills. That is why we keep them on one page instead of 4 thin ones.

Is Budclaw any good?

Nobody has played the release version yet, so anything about tier lists would be invented. What the numbers say: its P.DEF of 93 is among the highest in the dex, while its ATK of 64 is among the lowest in the dex, for 454 points across all six values. Those are the index base values — the level they refer to is not documented, so read them as a shape, not as a score. We will judge it properly once we have used it.

What is Budclaw's trait?

Stealth: Skills build Momentum when they deal damage, up to 6 stacks. Momentum gain is doubled during tunneling. At max stacks, increases BREAK efficiency by 30% for 15s.
