Uses

Tafflies are able to produce fertilizer. When directed toward a fruit, they will spray green goo over it, turning it into fertilizer. This is the only way to get the fertilizer pile item in the garden. When selected with the A button, it will be transformed into the standard fertilizer bag, at which point it may be used in the same way as fertilizer bought from Costolot. Tafflies can turn fruit into fertilizer at a rate of one fruit per fertilizer dose. Using a Taffly to make fertilizer will earn the Taffly Fertilizer achievement in Viva Piñata.

In Pocket Paradise, Taffly instead eats the fruit and defecates the fertilizer. When tapped on the touch screen, the fertilizer will be added to the player's inventory and can be used from the menu. This is the only way to obtain fertilizer in Pocket Paradise, as it cannot be purchased.

Taffly can also be evolved into Reddhott. To do so, set a Taffly on fire somehow.
