Here is the girl in question:



I do not collect nixis and I know I would not have caught her if she was common. When I was in battle with her, she had two purple stars. I caught her earlier today, I remember that she took about 4-5 traps to catch. But now on her pet profile page it says that she does not have any traits at all.

I know there were other problems like this occuring this fest, with hidden traits, so I'm reporting this one as well.

The traits are there, she just hasn't been Genetically Tested.
Pets that are not genetically tested do not show what Carried or Hidden traits they have in their info, only the Visible traits.

There are plenty of people who offer free genetesting services in the Groups, Guilds, Clubs, and Services subforum

She HAS been genetically tested, on my side, because I have an exceptional testing kit. See here.

hm, my brain must have missed the test icon (brains be like that sometimes. So functional. Might not have helped that I'd just woken up)
Not something I've seen or heard of happening, and no idea how something like that could happen. Without screenshot evidence of the battle it'd probably hard to have a definitive 'yes this was 100% an epic when caught and something has gone wonky', though, unfortunately

Yeah, I figured that would be the case, but since this also happened with someone else's Lagoon Nymph Nephini this fest, it does not surprise me it happened to this Nixi. I don't really care that it doesn't have the traits and I don't mind not "getting a refund" in a sense, I just don't want this to happen to anyone else.

Do you know where specifically you caught this Zolnixi? I assume just roaming around Astryl's Meadow? Was it during a Shared Garden event or anything like that?

Yes, it was in Astryl's Meadow, right in front of the area of Mary Toadstool. I think there was a shared garden event, but I'm actually not sure on that detail.

If I'm doing my maths right, crossreferencing with the discord event notifications indicates that it was probably caught during a neph bloom? (I might not be fully accurate on that since I'm in a different timezone so I'm having to work between sylestia site time and discord notifications my time, and Maths is Hard, but I THINK it was? The most recent neph bloom seems like it started... 18? minutes before this nixi was caught? again, I think I've gotten my time conversion maths right but not sure)

Do you remember if the Zolnixi was just named "Wild Zolnixi" or something different?

Edit: So I dug around in the enemy tracker database table. I am pretty sure that the battle that you caught this from was in a battle against two Zolnixi, one Common, one Epic.

Is it possible you caught the Common one by mistake?

Yes I do remember the battle being against two zolnixi! I remember taking care as there was two, but it is always possible I suppose that I misclicked the common one.
