Buddy Pods are the core capture items in Roco Kingdom. Some are basic tools for everyday use, some are better for specific Jini classes, and others offer premium effects such as easier captures, Talent boosts, or special appearance-related bonuses.

This guide focuses only on the 16 Buddy Pods shown in the current chart, grouped into three categories: Buddy Pods, Unique Pods, and Class Pods.

Pod Categories at a Glance

The 16 Buddy Pods in this guide are divided into:

• Buddy Pods – standard capture tools for everyday use
• Unique Pods – special Pods with extra value or special effects
• Class Pods – Pods that work better on specific classes of Jinies

Buddy Pods

These are the basic capture items every player should know first.

Basic Pod The Basic Pod is the standard magical item used to form pacts with Jinies. It is the most common and straightforward option for regular captures. Throw Effect: soft blue sparkles

Advanced Pod The Advanced Pod makes it easier to capture Jinies, especially when the target has already been weakened. Throw Effect: a purple trail

Unique Pods

Unique Pods go beyond standard capturing. Some improve Talent, some change appearance-related outcomes, and some are simply better premium options.

Ember Pod The Ember Pod is a special Pod with a more premium feel than standard Pods. It is mainly notable for its visual style and special status in the pod lineup. Throw Effect: a flickering white glow trail

King’s Pod The King’s Pod is an expensive but highly useful Pod that makes capturing Jinies much easier. It can also improve a Jini’s Talent, making it especially valuable. Throw Effect: a golden trail with golden sparkles

Prism Pod The Prism Pod is one of the most valuable Pods. It makes capturing Jinies much easier, and it is also associated with appearance changes, Talent boosts, and enhanced individual quality. Throw Effect: a rainbow trail with white sparkles

Reverie Prism Pod The Reverie Prism Pod is a premium Prism-type Pod. It belongs to the special Prism line and is valued for its rarity and enhanced appearance-related function. Throw Effect: not yet confirmed in the supplied footage

Class Pods are designed to be more effective against certain classes or special forms of Jinies. If you already know what kind of Jini you are trying to capture, choosing the right Class Pod can help a lot.

Solar Pod The Solar Pod is more effective for capturing Flora-class and Light-class Jinies. Throw Effect: green and pink particles

Shift Pod The Shift Pod is more effective for capturing Illusion-class, Mechanical-class, and disguised Jinies. Throw Effect: a white trail with white sparkles

Thermal Pod The Thermal Pod is more effective for capturing Fire-class and Ice-class Jinies. Throw Effect: a blue-orange trail with smoke and sparkles

Which Buddy Pod Should You Use?

If you just want a reliable everyday option, start with the Basic Pod or Advanced Pod.

If you want more premium value, the King’s Pod, Prism Pod, and Coco Pod are stronger special-purpose choices.

If you are specifically targeting certain Jinies, Class Pods are the better option:

• Use Net Pod for Water- and Wing-type targets
• Use Thermal Pod for Fire- and Ice-type targets
• Use Solar Pod for Flora- and Light-type targets
• Use Shift Pod for disguised or special-form Jinies
