Nushi Fishing Guide
Village in the Shade Nushi Fish Guide
The current Japanese-release data tracks six Nushi / rare white fishing variants. Each record has its own documented location, while the current data marks the six as available all year and at any time. White Bait can help target them, but it is not mandatory.
English fish and system terminology may be updated after the official Western localization can be verified on October 27, 2026.

What counts as a Nushi?
The fishing database tracks six Nushi/albino variants separately from 29 normal fish. Their locations are independent records; do not automatically inherit a normal species' season, time, location or bait behavior.
Cursed fish are a separate six-record category and are not included in this Nushi guide. See the Cursed Fish guide or the complete 41-fish database for the wider fishing system.

Do you need White Bait?
No. Improves targeting of white/Nushi fish; it is not a strict requirement. White Bait does not guarantee a Nushi, and the exact appearance or catch-rate bonus is not currently documented.
It is made from Flour + Sawagani. See how to make and use White Bait for the acquisition authority.
Nushi and Fish Ponds
The six canonical records carry pond-compatible notes, but those notes are community-reported and exact breeding probabilities are unknown. Catching conditions and pond reproduction are separate systems; this page does not claim that one bait rule or one reproduction chance applies universally.

Nushi FAQ
How many Nushi fish are in Village in the Shade?
The current fishing database tracks six Nushi/albino rare variants, separate from 29 normal fish and six cursed fish.
Do I need White Bait to catch Nushi?
No. White Bait helps when targeting rare fish and Nushi, but it is not mandatory.
Does White Bait guarantee a Nushi?
No. The exact probability increase is not currently documented, and White Bait does not guarantee a Nushi.
Do Nushi have different seasons and locations?
Use each Nushi record below for its documented fishing conditions instead of assuming all six share one season, time or location.
Can I catch a Nushi outside its conditions with White Bait?
White Bait does not replace a target's documented season, time or location requirements.
Why is a Nushi not appearing?
Confirm the exact record, then check its season, location, time and any special condition. White Bait can help, but rare-fish appearance is not guaranteed.
Are cursed fish the same as Nushi?
No. The current fishing database tracks six Nushi/albino variants and six cursed fish as separate categories.
Can Nushi be bred in a Fish Pond?
The canonical records mark these six entries as pond-compatible with community-reported reproduction notes, but exact breeding probabilities are not documented and this page does not generalize pond behavior beyond those records.
