Each evolution needs the Tatari at a star threshold plus its trial — a specific in-game task. Several trials ask for a currency you only earn while a team event is running, so it pays to know what's coming. Filter the roster below, then check theprogression guide for the order most accounts evolve in.

LightningGigagnash
B4 formsevent

Base form: Cavyzap

Promoted from a single-source estimate (2026-09-11 research pass, checking both creators' uploads through Sep 7). T4 Gigagnash turns weak raw stats into real AoE damage via its kit; Artiar's Aug 18 dedicated breakdown calls it 'a very decent strong pick' (best in campaign/early Dojo/Horde, behind Deer/Unicorn in Boss Challenge), and his Sep 1 Horde S1 meta list still groups it with the settled 'strong DPS' picks. iPICKmyBUTT's Sep 7 updated tier list independently lands it in B at both T2 and T3 — two creators converge on B after the early T4-launch hype (mid-Aug) cooled into a consistent read.

  1. PurpleCavyzap→
  2. GoldHippiehog→
  3. RedWheekroller→

LightningLuminastra
B4 formsevent

Base form: Glowfly

Promoted from a single-source estimate (2026-09-11 research pass) — reversed after a balance patch. Artiar's Aug 16 list had it in his worst ('never') band, but his Sep 1 Horde S1 meta list moves it into the 'strong support' band (3-lane shield + Glow-stack heal/paralyze, grouped with Pandaroo/Blowfin/Taptail — all already consensus B), noting 'even though they got nerfed, they are still a very strong support.' iPICKmyBUTT's Sep 7 updated tier list independently places it in B, up from a still-lukewarm read as recently as Aug 12 ('still not really fancing the glowfly, even though it's getting better at tier three'). Ned TECH's original 'strong, consistent, valuable at higher evolution' read (Aug 18) turns out to have called this trend early. Two creators now agree on B.

RockGemmapo
C4 formsevent

Base form: Momopo

Confirmed (Sep 2026 research pass, via its own T2/T3 stage names Lulupo/Lilypo matching auto-caption text) as the 'hippo'/'Momopole' both Artiar and iPICKmyBUTT separately discuss and both rate weak: Artiar puts it in his worst ('never') band (Aug 16); iPICKmyBUTT calls it 'a pretty decent tank' at T1 but says by T3 'that thing just doesn't seem to be doing too much for us anymore' (Aug 12) and places it explicitly in his C tier at T3 (Sep 7, 'pLS1vXuk2W0'). Ned TECH: 'well-rounded, dependable.' Two real creators now agree it's a weak/declining pick, but their exact bands (D vs C) don't match closely enough to promote past the two-source consensus bar — held at C, no longer a guess about its identity.

  1. PurpleMomopo→
  2. GoldLulupo→

WaterHychroma
C4 formsevent

Base form: Skinklet

Artiar names it the water-Dojo specialist (Aug 16), then separately confirms it took a balance-patch buff but doesn't expect it to become meta (Aug 25, 'DSkbw5mzSzw' — a second, later Artiar video, not a second creator). Ned TECH C. Both readings agree: real niche, not general-purpose. Still one creator's worth of substantive coverage — no second independent source found in a fresh Sep-2026 research pass (checked Artiar's and iPICKmyBUTT's full upload history through Sep 7).
