What are Tradeable Pins?

Tradeable pins can be exchanged at various shops to obtain equipment (pins and threads), making them somewhat of a unique currency in NEO: The World Ends With You (NEO: TWEWY). You can earn tradeable pins of different rarities by simply going through the main story, clearing side quests and Dive battles, and defeating certain enemies (enemy drop). Also note that unlike Yen pins, you cannot sell tradeable pins at shops.

  1. Let’s Have Fungis is traded from Azamaru and Blizzard Bunny. None of those are listed on your page. Your list of tradable pins is incomplete. I guess you meant “list of only pins only usable as trade currency, having no battle effects”. I came here looking for a list of battle pins I should avoid selling because I would need them later for trading, was satisfied to see there was only one (Force Rounds), and then ran into issues in the game. Let’s Have Fungis not listed under Axion? Handstandin’ Panda not listed under Scarletite / Sfermion? What point is there to an incomplete list, besides misleading the unwary?
