How to Get Crane
IGN: Crane is an Epic Cherry Blossom pet that earns $4k per second, and you need one to unlock the Sakura Incubator tree at the far end of that biome.
Where Crane comes from
Crane only hatches from an egg in the Cherry Blossom region, past Cosmic. IGN calls it the most common pet in that pool even though it is Epic.
The egg to steal has a pink top with dark purple lines around the center. IGN’s Sakura Incubator page also describes it as a white egg with a pink top and two purple lines through the middle. Get it home, put it in your pen, and wait out the hatch.
IGN lists a minimum of 2.5 billion speed to escape this zone. The incubator guide still names Kitsune as the guardian to outrun and recommends more speed than the listed floor. IGN’s All Biomes page names Oni Tiger as the Cherry Blossom guardian instead.
Unlock the Sakura Incubator
Bring a Crane to the Cherry Blossom tree / Sakura Incubator at the end of the biome. IGN: the machine starts inactive and asks for a Crane. Offering one plays a short unlock animation.
After that, Great Bloom events spawn Sakura trees. Hit them with your bat for crystals. IGN says a timer above the incubator shows the next Great Bloom. You need at least 1,000 crystals to charge the device; 1,500 is a full charge and raises the chance of Spirit Bloom.
Place a stolen egg you are still holding. An egg already set down to hatch in your pen cannot go into the incubator. IGN’s mutations page calls the incubator results Bloom (highest chance) and Sakura Bloom (lowest chance). The Crane page uses Spirit Bloom for the rarer result.
