If ever there were a mascot for the Trails series of JRPGs, it would be... okay, fine. It would be Mishy. But if ever there were a mascot monster, it'd have to be the Pom, right? These weirdly cute balls of fluff have more in common with cotton than any truly vicious fell creature, but in Trails from Zero — as with many of its peers — they're well worth fighting.

Learn where you'll find Shining Poms in Trails from Zero, as well as when you should go hunting for them, with this guide.
The rarity and scarcity of Shining Poms has always made for an exciting challenge in its own right, but many of us would prefer to focus on the more grueling challenges that actually reward players with something tangible. While the rewards in Trails from Zero aren't quite as good as they were in Trails from the Sky, they're still worth the time and effort. (And make no mistake: there will be time and effort.)
Poms drop the most experience points available per level of their location. Let's break that sentence down a bit. You've likely noticed by now, but experience points are obtained on a steep scale in this game. There's something of a soft cap per chapter as a result. You could grind to level 50 in the prologue, for example, but because enemies will start dropping a paltry one experience point by the time you've hit 12, you'd be looking at spending thousands of hours.
Obviously, that's less than ideal. And while it's less than ideal to try to hit 50 at any point save for New Game Plus to begin with, our point is that it's advantageous to reach that soft cap as quickly as possible. You'll be a few levels ahead for the bulk of the chapter, and that can make a sizable difference
