Cygames launched a new Pickup Pretty Derby Gacha in Umamusume: Pretty Derby on August 31, 2026 at 12:00 JST. The two featured trainees are ★3 [ガブガブ☆スキャンプ] Shinko Windy and ★3 [剛毅なる紫焔] Fenomeno.
Alongside the two featured trainees, the pickup period provides 90 dedicated Pieces when either character is obtained. A refreshed Support Card Gacha and a new story event also began at the same time, making the late-August update broader than a single banner change.

Pickup Gacha and Character Visual
Two ★3 Trainees Join the Same Pickup Gacha
The banner features [ガブガブ☆スキャンプ] Shinko Windy and [剛毅なる紫焔] Fenomeno as its two ★3 pickup trainees. Both became available on August 31 at 12:00 JST and remain featured until September 11 at 11:59 JST.
Cygames also published separate introductions for the two trainees, while directing players to the Trainee Details menu on the gacha screen for their complete in-game ability and stat information.
Each Trainee Comes With a 90-Piece Bonus
An additional bonus applies throughout the pickup. Obtaining [ガブガブ☆スキャンプ] Shinko Windy awards 90 Pieces for that version, while obtaining [剛毅なる紫焔] Fenomeno provides the corresponding 90 Fenomeno Pieces.
The reward is therefore directly tied to the trainee obtained rather than being a general-purpose item. Cygames' published conditions also note that lower-rarity pickup trainees follow their usual bonus amounts.
Shinko Windy and Fenomeno Have Contrasting Personalities
Shinko Windy's official profile describes the 152 cm Umamusume as mischievous and unruly, with a habit of biting as an unconscious way of asking for attention. She is voiced by Yuki Takada.
Fenomeno stands at 171 cm and is portrayed as a serious disciplinary committee member with a strong sense of justice, regularly patrolling and helping maintain order. Her intimidating gaze can make those around her nervous, and she is voiced by Yurika Hibi.
The Support Card Gacha Also Gets a New Lineup
The August 31 update is not limited to the Pretty Derby Gacha. The Support Card Gacha running during the same period introduces SSR [わたしときみの交換こ♪] Haru Urara and SSR [ちょいワルヒーロー、見参！] Biko Pegasus.
R [トレセン学園] Samson Big is also newly added. Full stats and support effects can be checked through the Support Card Details interface in the game.
A New Story Event Begins on the Same Day
Cygames also launched the story event ゆけゆけ、きらぼし調査隊！ on August 31 at 12:00 JST. Players therefore receive new story content alongside the trainee and support-card additions.
Launching all three pieces of content together makes this a broader update than a routine banner rotation, especially with the newly introduced characters and support cards arriving alongside an active story event.
Why This Matters
1) Two ★3 trainees share the headline pickup
Shinko Windy and Fenomeno are both primary targets of the Pretty Derby Gacha rather than being split across separate releases.
2) Each obtained trainee includes 90 dedicated Pieces
Cygames is attaching a substantial character-specific Piece bonus to both featured ★3 trainees for the duration of the banner.
3) The Support Card Gacha changes at the same time
Haru Urara and Biko Pegasus receive new SSR cards, while Samson Big joins through a new R support card.
4) The update coincides with a new story event
ゆけゆけ、きらぼし調査隊！ begins at the same date and time, adding new story content to the August 31 rollout.
