Sparkling Cubes are one of the most sought-after items in Aniimo - allowing you to guarantee a catch and make them Sparkling.
In Pokémon parlance, it's a Master Ball that can make the creature shiny - making it an extremely useful Aniipod to have in your roster.
But as you can imagine, the chances of finding one is very rare. Here's all sources of Sparkling Cubes in Aniimo - from events, story progression and shops, whether they are one off and repeatable - to help you get more on your travels.

What does a Sparkling Cube do, and what is the Sparkling Cube best use?
According to the item description, the Sparkling Cube does the following:
An extremely rare Aniipod. When used, catching an Aniimo is guaranteed to succeed, its Potential is Perfect, and it will always be Sparkling. When used on a Perfect Aniimo, it raises the chance that its Innate Potential for recommended attributes will exceed 8.
In other words, you want to use it on the rarest, most powerful creatures to get the most out of them - so don't use it on a common Emberpup!
As for the Sparkling Cube best use, it's generally best reserved for catching Prismana Aniimo after a Bloom Nurture, since these are amongst the rarest creatures in the game, and tend to be the most powerful, too.

This means you aren't leaving the catch attempt to chance, can get the most Potential out of your new Prismana, and give it a Sparkling sheen as the finishing touch.
Best of luck chasing down those Sparkling Cubes!
