How to Get Tanoontchi

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: Peking Meat
Specific foods: Chashu Pork, Peking Meat — from shop and Egg Hunt (Forest volcano). Warm Buns — cooked.

Feed until you have at least one Peking Meat 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: 6 or more 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.

Once you have 6 spiral icons in Cell View, you’re guaranteed Tanoontchi regardless of what happens next.


Full Forest Roar Species Evolution Line

All four Forest Roar adults come from Peking Meat Young, raised in the Forest Field on a diet of Peking Meat foods during the Kid stage. The only variable between these four characters is your total care mistake count.

Character How to Get
Forest Horhotchi Perfect care — 0 mistakes + Hunger maxed 5×+ + Happy maxed 5×+
Konkotchi Near-perfect — 0–1 total mistakes
Tigaotchi Moderate neglect — 2–5 total mistakes
Tanoontchi ← you are here 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 a pun on tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog, a beloved folklore shapeshifter) + moon (tsuki → ‘oon’). Tanuki in folklore are famous for drumming on their stomachs, which this character does on full moon nights. Exclusive to the Jade Forest shell.
