Paddle Young is the plankton-eater, exclusive to the Water Field — and it carries the most interesting character in Paradise. Otototchi debuted as a teen on Tamagotchi Ocean in the 1990s and Paradise is its first adult form in over 25 years.
How to Get Paddle Young
Feed the plankton food type during the Kid stage. You need at least one plankton icon in your Tama Cell and more of it than any other type at the moment of evolution. Feed a few, watch for the icon, then switch to default pellets to save Gotchi Points.
| Field | Food type | Foods that give it |
|---|---|---|
| Water Field | Plankton | Meal Shrimp, Meal Plankton, Plankton Dumplings |
Paddle exists only in the Water Field, so it is unavailable on White Glacier and Orange Tropics.
What Paddle Young Becomes
Your care mistake count — cumulative across the Kid and Young stages — decides which of four adults you get. Perfect care means zero mistakes plus Hunger and Happy each maxed five times during the Young stage.
| Field | Perfect care (0 + 5×) | Near-perfect (0–1) | Moderate (2–5) | Heavy neglect (6+) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water | Tachutchi | Sharktchi | Ankotchi | Otototchi |
Secret Character Eligibility
Yes on Blue Water. Paddle Young qualifies for Mermarintchi — connect to two different shell colours during the Young stage.
Timing
The Kid stage runs 24–28 hours before evolving into Young, and the Young stage about 24 hours more before the adult transition. You can see your care mistake count at any point in the Tama Cell view — the squiggly-line icon.
