How to Get Kanokotchi
Step 1 — Get into the Forest Field
Use the Jade Forest shell — the Forest Field is exclusive to this shell.
Step 2 — Feed the right food during the Kid stage
Target food type: Bamboo Grass
Specific foods: Bamboo Grass, Sesame Leaves — from Egg Hunt (Forest volcano). Bamboo Leaf Rice Cake, Sesame Pancake — cooked.
Feed until you have at least one Bamboo Grass icon showing in your Tama Cell. You only need one dominant icon — once it appears, you can switch to cheap Pellets and save resources. The icon stays unless you switch fields (which clears all food icons).
Step 3 — Hit the right care level
Requirement: 0 to 1 total care mistakes across the Kid and Young stages.
How care mistakes work in Tamagotchi Paradise:
Care mistakes accumulate across both the Kid and Young stages combined — they don’t reset when your Tamagotchi evolves from Kid to Young. So if you made 2 mistakes as a Kid and 1 as a Young, your total is 3.
A care mistake happens when:
– Hunger or happiness hits zero and you don’t respond within the grace period
– Your Tamagotchi gets sick and you don’t treat it promptly
– You ignore the sick animation in the Tama Cell
How to track your mistakes: Zoom all the way into Cell View using the dial. Each spiral icon = one care mistake. Count them.
The sick risk: After certain mistake counts (1, 5, 7…), there’s a 30–35% chance your Tamagotchi gets sick at the next care event. Treat illness immediately from the Cell View or it counts as another mistake.
The maximum is 6 — once you have 6 spiral icons, you’re guaranteed the heavy neglect adult for your species regardless of what happens next.
Important: If you hit exactly 0 mistakes but also maxed both meters 5+ times each, you’ll get the perfect care character (Lessapantchi) instead. To reliably get Kanokotchi, aim for exactly 1 mistake, or allow 0 mistakes without maxing the meters 5 times.
Full Forest Toddle Species Evolution Line
All four Forest Toddle adults come from Bamboo Grass Young, raised in the Forest Field on a diet of Bamboo Grass foods during the Kid stage. The only variable between these four characters is your total care mistake count.
| Character | How to Get |
|---|---|
| Lessapantchi | Perfect care — 0 mistakes + Hunger maxed 5×+ + Happy maxed 5×+ |
| Kanokotchi ← you are here | Near-perfect — 0–1 total mistakes |
| Suigyutchi | Moderate neglect — 2–5 total mistakes |
| Panbootchi | Heavy neglect — 6+ total mistakes |
Key reminder: Care mistakes are cumulative from the Kid stage onward. Two mistakes as a Kid plus one as a Young equals three total — putting you in the 2–5 range.
Checking your count: Zoom into Cell View with the dial. Each spiral icon = one care mistake. Count rice ball icons for hunger maxes and sun icons for happiness maxes.
Fun Facts
Based on the sika deer, native to East Asia. Name (kanoko) means both ‘fawn’ and the spotted pattern on young deer — both meanings apply simultaneously. The official Paradise website profile has a typo, spelling ‘forest’ as ‘foreest.’ Exclusive to Jade Forest.
