The Sparkling Cube guarantees a catch with Perfect Potential and a Sparkling look. Here's every way to get one, how to farm Sparkling Crystals, how Sparkling Styles work, and when to use it.
What a Sparkling Cube Does
The Sparkling Cube is an extremely rare Aniipod. When you use it, the catch is guaranteed to succeed, the Aniimo's Potential is Perfect, and it will always be Sparkling. Used on a Perfect Aniimo, it also raises the chance that its Innate Potential for recommended attributes will exceed 8. Its description calls it an upgraded version of the Aniipod Ultra.
The Sparkling Cube is a Prismatic quality item and the best Aniipod in the game, and Sparkling Aniimo are a cosmetic variant with a visible shimmer.

Where to Exchange Sparkling Crystals
Take your Sparkling Crystals to an outpost vendor and open Item Exchange, where the Sparkling Cube is listed for 1,000 Sparkling Crystals. Vendor Joff in Idyll is one of these vendors.
Sparkling Styles
A Sparkling Cube guarantees that the Aniimo will be Sparkling, but which Sparkling Style it gets is decided separately. To check it, select a Sparkling Aniimo on the Aniimo screen and look at its Appearance Tag.
There are 10 Sparkling Types plus the Dazzling Sparkling Style and the Shadow Sparkling Style. When you use a Sparkling Cube, the Shadow Sparkling Style can only come from an egg obtained through Operation: Egg Heist, but Sparkling Sigils and Sparkling Pigments can also give it.
When to Use a Sparkling Cube
Save your Sparkling Cubes for Alpha Aniimo or Aniimo in their Prismana Form, since the cube locks in Perfect Potential and a Sparkling look on an Aniimo that is already hard to get.
You can also use a Sparkling Cube on an egg in the Hatchinator. The hatched Aniimo is guaranteed to have Perfect Potential and be Sparkling.
