To progress in Aniimo, there are a few key goals you’ll repeatedly be asked to tackle. One of these main tasks is unlocking Collection Badges. It can be a bit tricky figuring out what needs to be done to earn them, though.
Each region you can visit has some Collection Badges you can earn, and in addition to being crucial for general progression, they also grant some special regional buffs to their associated biome. Because of this, they’re quite important to unlock, so here’s how to earn Collection Badges in Aniimo.

What are Collection Badges in Aniimo?
Collection Badges are essentially achievements marking your overall exploration progress within a given area. They’re not actually usable items, and instead function more like trophies meant simply to mark and track your journey.
Earning Collection Badges is a key part of increasing your title and progressing through the main storyline. Many of the missions you’ll face in Elite Training also task you with unlocking them.
How to get Collection Badges in Aniimo
To earn Collection Badges in Aniimo, you need to work on exploration in the designated area. For the lowest level Collection Badge in each area, all you need to do is catch Aniimo native to the biome. Once you get past this stage, though, some additional requirements are stacked on top of this goal. Here are the requirements for each Collection Badge level.
- Bronze Collection Badge
- Reach 40 percent Aniimo collection progress in the designated region.
- Silver Collection Badge
- Reach 70 percent Aniimo collection progress in the designated region.
- Defeat the local Alpha Aniimo.
- Gold Collection Badge
- Reach 100 percent Aniimo collection progress in the designated region.
- Obtain five Lumin Amber in the designated region.
- Prismatic Collection Badge
- Own one specific Sparkling Prismana for the region.
- Research Prismatic tier for a specific Aniimo research level.
- Reach Prismatic tier for a specific Aniimo research level.
The specific Aniimo and Alphas you need to take on vary for each region, but overall, the goals for each Collection Badge are the same, so once you get the basics down, it’s fairly easy to repeat for each area.
For all percentage collection missions, make sure you catch all Aniimo native to the region, even if you already caught one elsewhere. There are some Aniimo who are present in multiple biomes, so you’ll need to catch them in each one to contribute collection progress for each area.
