Sakura Incubator
Community reportedThe dormant tree at the end of the Cherry Blossom Zone is the Sakura Incubator. Its prompt asks you to hatch and return a Crane before you can use its egg-mutation loop. Great Bloom is the event that supplies the Sakura Crystals the incubator consumes.
Quick reference
The facts you need before making the trip.
How to unlock it
The tree needs the pet, not an unhatched egg.
- Reach the Cherry Blossom Zone, the area behind Cosmic. The escape-speed requirement is reported as roughly 2.5B.
- Take a Cherry Blossom Egg back to your base and hatch it until you have a Crane in your collection.
- Return to the dormant tree with the pet, then use the interaction prompt to offer the Crane.
- After the unlock, save Sakura Crystals from Great Bloom and place an egg into the incubator when you are ready to mutate it.
Great Bloom and Sakura Crystals
Great Bloom provides the resource; it is not a hatch roll.
Great Bloom is reported to appear every 30 minutes and last 3 minutes. During that window, equip a Bat and hit the Crystal Cherry Blossom Trees in the Cherry Blossom Zone. The trees drop Sakura Crystals, which are the incubator's charge resource.
Go into the zone before the event begins and keep your Bat ready. The duration is short, so a prepared route matters more than trying to reach the trees after the announcement.
What the incubator can do
Reported outcomes; multipliers remain unpublished.

| 150% | Spirit Bloom | Spirit Bloom is guaranteed before the egg is mutated. |
