a) OBTAINING CHICHU
First you need Moogle's Manifestation fragment ability. Then warp to AF??? Archylte Steppe, go S from nomad settlement and look for a small patch of red flowers in the field of grass. Toss Moogle in that patch at least two times to get Chichu (you may obtain an adornment first, so that's why you need to try twice sometimes). Once you obtain Chichu, start feeding it with materials that raise STR.
The link to Chichu's location is:

b) CHICHU'S STATS
Here's an example of stats for a good Kichu build.
LV 70, 5830 HP, 1520 ATK, 460 MAG, ATB Lv6 [HP/ATK/MAG can vary*1]
Passive skills: HP +30%, Role Affinity, Physical attack +35%, Auto-Bravery,
Physical resistance +36%, Magical resistance +36%, ATB recovery via Attack,
ATB recovery via Attack UP, Synchro charge up, Ensemble
Chichu in the video didn't always get ATK boosting materials, or I used mats that boost all three stats at once (I don't recall anymore), which is the reason why Kichu's ATK is 300 lower than suggested 1500+.
c) WHY IS CHICHU SO GREAT?
- Hard to kill: HP+30%, 36% resistance to all attacks
- High attack: Strong base attack, ATK+35%, Auto-Bravery, Role Affinity*2
- Fast: ATB recovery when attacking + upgrade (quicker than auto-haste)
d) PROCESS OF GODLY BUILD
First you need to capture 8 monsters. Here you have their names, monster role, HPs when fought as an enemy, general encounter spot, and details under which type they're listed in Bestiary.

*1 Statistics can vary depending on what materials you used when leveling up.
*2 Physical Damage + 20% when 2 ATK in team or +10% and 1 ATK
*3 Only two units of this enemy exist. Save before fighting it, and reload if
you're unsuccessful in capturing it. If you killed all of them, you'll need to
do time reversal on Academia 400 AF.
*4 ATB charges faster when attacking
*5 Damage increase depending on COMs in the team. 1 COM increases damage by 10%, and 2 COM increase damage by 20%.
*6 You're welcome to choose other abilities based on your taste. Some players
might prefer Chichu to learn Ruinga or other useful abilities. The choice is
totally up to you.

@SplitPlaythru What do you mean with "type" and "subtype"?
Aatjuuh 4 days ago
@Aatjuuh For example, Flan's type is Feral Creature, and it's subytpe is Flan.

So you use potent material that increases all stats, what if I use power material that only increases strength, can I use that too? And when I infuse the monster to the Chichu(Kichu), so I still don't accept the any auto-abilities at all? Is there a reason?
MrVuEric 2 weeks ago
@MrVuEric I thought that accepting last ability was one of passive abilities. Turns out I was wrong - it simply added one of auto-abilities to Chichu, which is safe to do. In any case, couple of days ago I uploaded improved Chichu build in English.
