How to Get Tachutchi
Step 1 — Get into the Water Field
Start on the Blue Water shell, which begins in the Water Field.
Step 2 — Feed the right food during the Kid stage
Target food type: Plankton
Specific foods: Meal Shrimp, Meal Plankton — from the shop. Plankton Dumplings — cooked.
Feed until you have at least one Plankton 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: Zero care mistakes AND hunger maxed 5+ times AND happiness maxed 5+ times during the Young stage.
What perfect care actually requires:
Perfect care is NOT just zero mistakes. You need all three of the following:
1. Zero total care mistakes across the Kid and Young stages combined
2. Hunger meter maxed at least 5 times during the Young stage (rice ball icons in Cell View)
3. Happiness meter maxed at least 5 times during the Young stage (sun icons in Cell View)
If you hit zero mistakes but don’t max the meters 5 times each, you’ll get the 0–1 mistakes adult instead.
How to max the meters efficiently:
– Play the UFO mini-game for +10 happiness per win (or +5 on a loss) — the fastest method
– Feed snacks to top up happiness between games
– Keep hunger full by feeding before it drops — each full meal counts toward the 5× rice ball requirement
– Check Cell View to count your rice ball and sun icons and make sure you hit 5 of each before evolution
Full Paddle Species Evolution Line
All four Paddle adults come from Plankton Young, raised in the Water Field on a diet of Plankton foods during the Kid stage. The only variable between these four characters is your total care mistake count.
| Character | How to Get |
|---|---|
| Tachutchi ← you are here | Perfect care — 0 mistakes + Hunger maxed 5×+ + Happy maxed 5×+ |
| Sharktchi | Near-perfect — 0–1 total mistakes |
| Ankotchi | Moderate neglect — 2–5 total mistakes |
| Otototchi | 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
Name is baby-talk for ‘seahorse’ in Japanese (tatsunōtoshigo becomes tachutchi because young Japanese children replace the ‘tsu’ sound with ‘chu’). A character named after the way children mispronounce it.
About This Character’s Field
The Water Field is the starting field on the Blue Water shell and unlocks on other shells as you level up your planet (at Level 4 or Level 6 depending on which shell you’re on). Water Field characters have seafood, seaweed, and plankton-based evolution paths, plus the Float Species for no-food-preference players.
