Complete Grow a Garden Pets Tier List (September 2025)

Roblox GaG S-Tier Pets (Game-Changing Companions)

These pets offer unmatched benefits and are essential for players looking to maximize their gardening profits. If you manage to obtain any of these, they should be immediate priorities in your garden setup.

Why S-Tier Dominates:
S-Tier pets provide the highest value multipliers in the game, with some offering over 100x value increases on mutated crops. The Disco Bee’s 125x Disco mutation and Corrupted Kitsune’s 90x Foxfire Chakra mutation are particularly game-changing for profit generation. These pets also feature reasonable cooldowns and high success rates, making them consistent performers rather than situational tools.

Roblox GaG A-Tier Pets (Strong and Reliable)

Solid choices that are slightly weaker than S-Tier but still excellent for most strategies and mid-game progression.

Pet Name	Egg Type	Key Ability	Value Multiplier	Cooldown
Queen Bee	Bee Egg	Resets pet cooldowns + Pollinated mutation	3x	25 minutes
Mimic Octopus	Paradise Egg	Copies abilities of active pets	Varies	Varies
Griffin	Skyroot Chest	Cyclonic mutation + 67s cooldown reduction	50x	30 minutes

Capybara	Paradise Egg	Prevents pet hunger + increases XP	N/A	Passive

A-Tier Strategic Value:
These pets excel in support roles and specific farming strategies. The Queen Bee’s ability to reset pet cooldowns makes it invaluable when paired with S-Tier pets, while the Mimic Octopus can effectively “clone” the best abilities in your active setup. Pets like Triceratops and Capybara provide consistent passive benefits that improve overall garden efficiency.

Roblox GaG B-Tier Pets (Decent but Situational)

Good in some strategies but easily outclassed by A- and S-Tier pets. These work well as filler companions or for specific farming setups.

Pet Name	Egg Type	Key Ability	Value Multiplier	Cooldown
Mole	Night Egg	Digs up free gears and Sheckles	N/A	80 seconds
Phoenix	Enchanted Egg	Ages pets from mutation chamber + Flame mutation	25x	6 minutes 40 seconds
Wisp	Elder Wisp Shop	Bonus XP with Wisp Well	N/A	Passive
Scarlet Macaw	Paradise Egg	Applies Verdant mutation	15x	8 minutes
Polar Bear	Legendary Egg	Chilled/Frozen fruit chance	10x	1 minute 29 seconds
Junkbot	Albert Admin Abuse	Oil mutation chance	15x	14.52% chance
Spaghetti Sloth	Gourmet Pet Egg	Applies Sauce/Meatball/Pasta mutations	3x-15x	3-14 minutes
Kappa	Zen Egg	Wet or Bloodlit mutation	2x/5x	2 minutes
Ostrich	Oasis Egg	Hatched pets get age bonus	N/A	Passive
Brontosaurus	Dinosaur Egg	Hatched pets get size bonus	N/A	Passive

B-Tier Use Cases:
These pets shine in specific scenarios. The Mole is excellent for early-game resource generation, while the Phoenix becomes valuable when you start using the mutation chamber regularly. Pets like Spaghetti Sloth can be powerful in cooking-focused builds, and the Brontosaurus is essential for players focused on breeding large, valuable pets.

Roblox GaG C-Tier Pets (Below Average)

Can be used if you don’t have better pets, but generally not recommended for serious farming setups.

Pet Name	Egg Type	Key Ability	Value Multiplier	Cooldown
Honey Bee	Bee Egg	Basic pollination	2x	30 minutes
Red Fox	Mythical Egg	Steals seeds from neighbors	N/A	25 minutes
Praying Mantis	Anti Bee Egg	Gold or Rainbow mutation chance	20x/50x	15 minutes
Axolotl	Rare Summer Egg	Summer fruit stay chance	N/A	6.54% chance
Bald Eagle	Mythical Egg	Faster egg hatching	N/A	7 minutes
Sea Otter	Rare Summer Egg	Waters plants	N/A	Passive
Squirrel	Sprout Egg	Saves Reclaimer uses	N/A	Passive
Giant Ant	Anti Bee Egg	Basic pollination	2x	30 minutes
Pack Bee	Bee Egg	Inventory expansion	N/A	Passive
Echo Frog	Mythical Egg	Advances plant growth	N/A	10 minutes

C-Tier Limitations:
These pets typically offer low value multipliers, long cooldowns, or very situational benefits. While they can be useful in the early game or for specific collection purposes, they’re quickly outclassed by higher-tier alternatives. The Echo Frog and Squirrel provide minimal benefits, while most C-Tier bees offer only basic pollination that’s easily replaced by better options.

Roblox GaG D-Tier Pets (Weak)

Low value and rarely worth investing in unless you’re collecting or have specific niche needs.

Pet Name	Egg Type	Key Ability	Value Multiplier	Cooldown
Panda	Legendary Egg	Bamboo profit boost	Minimal	Passive
Blood Kiwi	Blood Moon Shop	Hatch time reduction	N/A	(60-Weight) seconds
Koi	Zen Shop	Egg return chance	N/A	(0.22*Weight+3)%
Imp	Mythical Egg	Catch game for rewards	N/A	Passive
Shroomie	Legendary Egg	XP bonus with Wisp Well	N/A	Passive
Turtle	Legendary Egg	Sprinkler duration boost	N/A	Passive
Pig	Sprout Egg	Basic farming help	Minimal	Passive
Cow	Sprout Egg	Basic farming help	Minimal	Passive
Chicken	Sprout Egg	Egg hatch speed boost	N/A	Passive
Frog	Mythical Egg	Basic plant growth	N/A	Passive

D-Tier Assessment:
These pets offer minimal benefits that are barely noticeable in most farming setups. The Panda’s bamboo boost is too niche, while pets like the Blood Kiwi and Koi offer such small percentage increases that they’re practically irrelevant. Most D-Tier pets are essentially cosmetic or serve such minor functions that they’re not worth the inventory space.

Roblox Grow a Garden Pets Detailed Breakdown

S-Tier Pets (Game-Changing Companions)

Kitsune

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Zen Egg
Rarity	Divine
Base Value	5,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	15 minutes
Weight Impact	Higher weight increases success rate
Best Weight Class	Godly (9kg+)

The Kitsune stands as the undisputed king of Grow a Garden pets, offering unparalleled profit potential through its unique ability to steal fruits from neighboring gardens and apply devastating mutations. This Divine-tier pet can apply the Chakra mutation (15x value multiplier) or, with rare luck, the coveted Foxfire Chakra mutation (90x multiplier), making it the single most profitable pet in the game. What makes the Kitsune truly exceptional is its consistent performance – unlike many pets that rely on chance, the Kitsune delivers valuable results every 15 minutes. When paired with other high-tier pets like the Queen Bee for cooldown resets, the Kitsune can generate millions of Sheckles per hour effortlessly. For serious players looking to maximize their garden’s profit potential, acquiring a high-weight Kitsune should be the top priority, as its ability scales dramatically with pet age and weight, making older, heavier Kitsunes exponentially more valuable than newly hatched ones.

Dragonfly

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Bug Egg
Rarity	Divine
Base Value	5,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	5 minutes
Success Rate	100% guaranteed
Value Multiplier	20x (Gold mutation)

The Dragonfly is a marvel of consistency in a game where most abilities rely on chance, offering a guaranteed Gold mutation on a random plant every 5 minutes without fail. This Divine-tier pet transforms ordinary crops into golden treasures worth 20 times their base value, providing a steady, reliable income stream that players can count on regardless of luck or RNG. What sets the Dragonfly apart from other mutation pets is its absolute reliability – while pets like the Disco Bee offer higher potential multipliers, they come with lower success rates and longer cooldowns. The Dragonfly’s short 5-minute cooldown means it activates frequently throughout gameplay sessions, gradually building wealth through consistent gold production rather than sporadic big payouts. For players who prefer steady growth over risky high-reward strategies, the Dragonfly represents the perfect balance of reliability and profitability, making it an essential addition to any serious garden setup. Its effectiveness is further enhanced when paired with pets that can reset cooldowns or accelerate plant growth.

Disco Bee

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Anti Bee Egg
Rarity	Divine
Base Value	5,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	20 minutes
Success Rate	12.28% per activation
Value Multiplier	125x (Disco mutation)

The Disco Bee represents the pinnacle of high-risk, high-reward pets in Grow a Garden, offering the highest potential value multiplier in the game at an astonishing 125x for the rare Disco mutation. This Divine-tier pet has captured the attention of veteran players due to its ability to turn a single lucky activation into a massive payday that can dwarf hours of regular farming. While its 12.28% success rate might seem low, skilled players understand that the Disco Bee’s true power lies in its ability to create game-changing wealth spikes that can fund major garden upgrades or rare pet acquisitions. The key to maximizing the Disco Bee’s potential lies in strategic timing – activating it during periods of high plant density and when you have cooldown-resetting support pets like the Queen Bee active. Many top players maintain multiple Disco Bees in their inventory, rotating them through active slots to increase the chances of triggering that coveted Disco mutation. When it hits, the Disco Bee doesn’t just generate profits – it creates moments of pure excitement that define the endgame Grow a Garden experience.

Raccoon

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Night Egg
Rarity	Divine
Base Value	4,500,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	15 minutes
Ability Type	Fruit duplication
Weight Impact	Affects fruit quality and value

The Raccoon brings a unique approach to wealth generation in Grow a Garden, functioning as a master thief that clones fruits from neighboring gardens rather than creating mutations. This Divine-tier pet excels in multiplayer environments where other players have established gardens with valuable crops, essentially allowing you to profit from their farming efforts without any investment on your part. Every 15 minutes, the Raccoon visits a nearby garden and duplicates a random fruit, bringing it back to your inventory with its full value intact. What makes the Raccoon particularly valuable is its versatility – it works with any type of fruit or mutation, meaning you can acquire rare and valuable mutations that would be difficult or impossible to create on your own. In crowded servers with active players, a well-fed, high-weight Raccoon can generate substantial passive income by consistently duplicating high-value crops. The Raccoon’s effectiveness scales with the server’s overall wealth, making it more valuable in established communities where players have invested significant time in creating valuable mutated crops. For social players who enjoy interacting with others, the Raccoon offers both profit and a unique gameplay mechanic that encourages community engagement.

Golden Goose

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Sprout Egg
Rarity	Divine
Base Value	4,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	25 minutes
Special Effect	Creates Fortune Egg plants
Value Multiplier	50x (Fortune mutation)

The Golden Goose lives up to its mythical reputation by literally laying golden eggs in the form of special Fortune Egg plants that carry the coveted 50x Fortune mutation. This Divine-tier pet combines the reliability of the Dragonfly with the high-value potential of mutation pets, creating a perfect balance that appeals to both conservative and aggressive players. When the Golden Goose activates, it creates a Fortune Egg plant in your garden that, when harvested and sold, has a chance to spread the Fortune mutation to other random plants in your garden, creating a chain reaction of value multiplication. What makes the Golden Goose particularly strategic is its ability to create sustainable wealth systems – a single activation can lead to multiple Fortune mutations across your garden, providing long-term benefits rather than a single payout. Savvy players often use the Golden Goose in conjunction with area-of-effect pets that can spread mutations across multiple plants, maximizing the chances of Fortune mutation proliferation. The pet’s 25-minute cooldown is reasonable enough to ensure regular activations while maintaining balance, making it a cornerstone of many endgame garden setups focused on consistent, scalable wealth generation rather than sporadic big wins.

T-Rex

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Dinosaur Egg
Rarity	Divine
Base Value	6,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	20 minutes
Ability Type	Mutation transfer
Target Range	3-4 random plants

The T-Rex dominates the pet meta not through size alone, but through its unique ability to redistribute mutations across your garden with maximum efficiency. This Divine-tier dinosaur pet consumes a mutation from one random fruit and then distributes it to 3-4 different plants, effectively cloning valuable mutations and spreading wealth throughout your garden. What makes the T-Rex particularly powerful is its ability to multiply the impact of rare, high-value mutations – a single Disco or Fortune mutation can be spread across multiple plants, dramatically increasing your overall garden value. The T-Rex excels in gardens with diverse mutation types, as it can take a common, low-value mutation from one plant and apply it to high-value base crops, or vice versa, depending on what would generate the most profit. Strategic players often use the T-Rex in combination with pets that generate specific mutations, creating a mutation factory that continuously produces and distributes valuable crop variants. The pet’s 20-minute cooldown provides a nice balance between frequency and impact, ensuring that you’re regularly optimizing your garden’s mutation distribution without overwhelming the game’s economy. For players who have invested in creating diverse mutation sources, the T-Rex is an essential tool for maximizing the return on that investment.

Corrupted Kitsune

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Kitsune Box
Rarity	Divine
Base Value	8,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	30 minutes
Target Range	9 random fruits
Mutation Types	Corrupt Chakra (15x), Corrupt Foxfire Chakra (90x)

The Corrupted Kitsune represents the dark evolution of the already powerful Kitsune, offering an expanded area of effect that can affect up to 9 random fruits with each activation. This Divine-tier pet maintains the mutation-stealing mechanic of its regular counterpart but amplifies it dramatically, making it capable of generating incredible wealth spikes in densely planted gardens. When the Corrupted Kitsune activates, it visits neighboring gardens and applies either the Corrupt Chakra mutation (15x value) or the rare Corrupt Foxfire Chakra mutation (90x value) to 9 different fruits, creating widespread value multiplication across your garden. What makes this pet particularly devastating is its scalability – in gardens with high plant density, a single activation can affect nearly a dozen crops, potentially generating millions of Sheckles in value within seconds. The Corrupted Kitsune’s 30-minute cooldown, while longer than some other S-Tier pets, is justified by its massive area of effect and potential for game-changing wealth generation. Top players often save their Corrupted Kitsune activations for moments when their gardens are at maximum capacity, ensuring that every activation affects the maximum number of plants possible. For players who have mastered garden optimization and plant density management, the Corrupted Kitsune represents the ultimate tool for explosive wealth accumulation.

Lobster Thermidor

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Culinarian Chest
Rarity	Divine
Base Value	5,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	5-15 minutes
Success Rate	20%+ (scales with weight)
Mutation Types	Molten (25x), Meteoric (125x)

The Lobster Thermidor brings culinary excellence to the world of Grow a Garden pets, offering the unique ability to apply both the valuable Molten mutation and the ultra-rare Meteoric mutation to your crops. This Divine-tier pet stands out for its variable cooldown system, which ranges from 5 to 15 minutes based on the pet’s weight and age, giving players control over activation frequency through proper pet management. What makes the Lobster Thermidor particularly exciting is its dual mutation potential – while the Molten mutation provides a respectable 25x value multiplier, the Meteoric mutation offers an incredible 125x multiplier that rivals the Disco Bee’s best output. The key to maximizing this pet’s potential lies in weight optimization – heavier, older Lobster Thermidors not only activate more frequently but also have higher success rates for triggering the coveted Meteoric mutation. Many veteran players consider the Lobster Thermidor to be one of the most versatile S-Tier pets, as it performs well in both early-game setups (with frequent Molten mutations) and endgame configurations (with occasional Meteoric jackpots). The pet’s culinary theme also makes it particularly valuable during cooking events, where it can synergize with other food-themed pets for enhanced effects and bonuses.

Spinosaurus

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Primal Egg
Rarity	Divine
Base Value	7,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	25 minutes
Ability Type	Mutation combination
Source Plants	4 random plants
Target Plant	1 favorited plant

The Spinosaurus operates as the ultimate mutation optimizer in Grow a Garden, functioning as a master chef that combines multiple ingredients to create a perfect dish. This Divine-tier dinosaur pet consumes one mutation from each of four different plants and then applies all four mutations to a single, favorited plant, potentially creating astronomical value multipliers through mutation stacking. What makes the Spinosaurus uniquely powerful is its strategic targeting system – it prioritizes your favorited plants, allowing you to direct its massive value-creation potential toward your most valuable crops. The mathematical potential of the Spinosaurus is staggering – combining four 10x mutations could theoretically create a 10,000x value multiplier, though practical limitations usually result in more modest but still impressive gains. Savvy players use the Spinosaurus in carefully planned garden setups where they maintain multiple plants with different valuable mutations, essentially setting up a mutation buffet for the Spinosaurus to work with. The pet’s 25-minute cooldown requires strategic timing, with most players saving activations for moments when they have at least four high-value mutation sources available. For players who understand mutation mathematics and garden planning, the Spinosaurus represents the pinnacle of strategic pet usage.

Butterfly

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Anti Bee Egg
Rarity	Divine
Base Value	4,500,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	30 minutes
Target Requirement	Plants with 5+ mutations
Value Multiplier	50x (Rainbow mutation)

The Butterfly brings beauty and incredible value to Grow a Garden gardens through its unique ability to create the coveted Rainbow mutation, one of the most visually stunning and valuable mutations in the game. This Divine-tier pet specifically targets plants that already have five or more mutations, transforming them into Rainbow variants worth 50 times their base value while removing all previous mutations. What makes the Butterfly particularly strategic is its role as a mutation “finisher” – it’s designed to be used after you’ve already invested time and resources into creating heavily mutated plants, essentially cashing out your mutation investment for maximum value. The Butterfly’s 30-minute cooldown encourages strategic planning, with players typically activating it only when they have multiple heavily-mutated plants ready for Rainbow transformation. Many advanced players maintain dedicated “mutation farms” where they systematically apply multiple mutations to specific plants, saving them for Butterfly activations to maximize returns. The pet’s requirement for five existing mutations makes it less useful for early-game players but absolutely essential for endgame mutation specialists who understand the art of mutation stacking and optimization. For those who master the Butterfly’s usage patterns, it represents the ultimate reward for sophisticated garden management.

A-Tier Pets (Strong and Reliable)

Queen Bee

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Bee Egg
Rarity	Mythical
Base Value	8,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	25 minutes
Primary Effect	Pet cooldown reset
Secondary Effect	Pollinated mutation (3x)

The Queen Bee reigns supreme as the ultimate support pet in Grow a Garden, offering the invaluable ability to reset random pet cooldowns while simultaneously providing the reliable Pollinated mutation. This Mythical-tier pet’s true power lies not in its direct value generation but in its ability to amplify the effectiveness of other pets, particularly S-Tier powerhouses like the Kitsune, Disco Bee, and Dragonfly. When the Queen Bee activates, it has a chance to completely reset the cooldown of a random active pet, effectively allowing for back-to-back activations of your most valuable abilities. What makes the Queen Bee strategically essential is its force multiplier effect – having a Queen Bee in your active setup can effectively double or even triple the activation rate of your primary money-making pets. Additionally, its Pollinated mutation provides a steady 3x value multiplier that serves as reliable baseline income generation. Many top players consider the Queen Bee non-negotiable for serious endgame setups, as it enables pet combinations and strategies that would otherwise be impossible due to cooldown limitations. The pet’s 25-minute cooldown is perfectly balanced, ensuring regular support opportunities without making cooldown management trivial. For players looking to maximize their pet synergy and create truly optimized garden setups, the Queen Bee is the cornerstone around which all other strategies are built.

Mimic Octopus

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Paradise Egg
Rarity	Mythical
Base Value	6,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	Varies (copies target)
Ability Type	Ability duplication
Target	Random active pet

The Mimic Octopus brings fascinating versatility to Grow a Garden through its unique ability to copy and replicate the abilities of other active pets in your garden. This Mythical-tier pet functions as a wildcard that can potentially double the effectiveness of your most valuable abilities, making it an incredibly strategic choice for players who understand pet synergy. When the Mimic Octopus activates, it randomly selects one of your other active pets and performs that pet’s ability, effectively giving you two chances to trigger your best effects in a single activation cycle. What makes the Mimic Octopus particularly powerful is its scalability – in setups with multiple S-Tier pets, it essentially functions as an additional copy of your best pet, potentially doubling your profit generation. The pet’s effectiveness is directly tied to the quality of your other active pets, making it a high-risk, high-reward choice that rewards strategic team composition. Many veteran players use the Mimic Octopus in specialized setups where they maintain two identical high-value pets, effectively guaranteeing that the Mimic will copy a powerful ability. The pet’s variable cooldown system, which matches the copied pet’s cooldown, adds another layer of strategic depth, allowing players to potentially manipulate timing through careful pet rotation. For creative players who enjoy experimenting with pet combinations and maximizing synergy effects, the Mimic Octopus offers unparalleled strategic flexibility.

Griffin

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Skyroot Chest
Rarity	Mythical
Base Value	7,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	30 minutes
Primary Effect	Cyclonic mutation (50x)
Secondary Effect	67-second cooldown reduction

The Griffin soars above other A-Tier pets by combining powerful value generation with invaluable utility, offering both the lucrative Cyclonic mutation and significant cooldown reduction in a single package. This Mythical-tier pet’s dual-effect design makes it incredibly versatile, capable of serving as either a primary money-maker or a crucial support pet depending on your current needs. When the Griffin activates, it applies the 50x Cyclonic mutation to random plants while simultaneously reducing all active pet cooldowns by 67 seconds, creating immediate value while setting up future activations. What makes the Griffin particularly strategic is its ability to bridge the gap between offense and defense – it generates substantial immediate profit through the Cyclonic mutation while simultaneously improving your long-term profit potential through cooldown acceleration. Many players use the Griffin as a cornerstone of balanced setups, appreciating its ability to contribute to both immediate and sustained wealth generation. The pet’s 30-minute cooldown is reasonable enough to ensure regular contributions without overwhelming the game’s economy, while the 67-second cooldown reduction can be game-changing when timed properly with other pet activations. For players who value versatility and balanced performance, the Griffin represents one of the most well-rounded and reliable choices in the entire pet roster.

French Fry Ferret

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Gourmet Pet Egg
Rarity	Mythical
Base Value	5,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	20-60 minutes
Ability Type	Pet leveling
Effect	+1 level to random pet

The French Fry Ferret serves as the ultimate pet development specialist in Grow a Garden, focusing on long-term power growth rather than immediate profit generation. This Mythical-tier pet’s unique ability to grant levels to other pets makes it an invaluable tool for players focused on building powerful, aged pets for endgame content. When the French Fry Ferret activates, it randomly selects one pet in your collection and immediately grants it one level, accelerating the natural aging process and helping pets reach their full potential more quickly. What makes this pet particularly valuable is its role in the pet mutation system – since pets must reach level 50 before they can be mutated, the French Fry Ferret dramatically reduces the time investment required to access powerful mutation bonuses. Many strategic players maintain dedicated French Fry Ferret setups, rotating through their pet collection to systematically level up their most valuable companions. The pet’s variable 20-60 minute cooldown adds an element of unpredictability that keeps the leveling process engaging, while its focus on long-term development makes it essential for players planning for endgame mutation optimization. For those who understand that true power in Grow a Garden comes from well-developed, mutated pets rather than short-term profits, the French Fry Ferret is an indispensable investment in future success.

Blood Owl

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Blood Moon Shop
Rarity	Mythical
Base Value	1,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Type	Passive XP boost
XP Formula	(0.08 × Weight + 0.5) XP per second
Weight Impact	Directly scales XP gain

The Blood Owl dominates the pet development meta by providing a passive experience boost that accelerates the aging and leveling process for all active pets in your garden. This Mythical-tier pet’s value lies in its consistent, reliable contribution to long-term pet development, making it essential for players focused on building powerful, high-level pets. Unlike many pets that rely on chance activations, the Blood Owl provides a constant stream of experience to all active pets based on a formula that scales with the owl’s weight – heavier Blood Owls provide significantly more XP per second. What makes the Blood Owl particularly strategic is its compound effect over time – the extra XP it provides not only levels pets faster but also helps them reach higher weights more quickly, creating a positive feedback loop that accelerates pet development exponentially. Many veteran players consider the Blood Owl essential for serious mutation farming, as it dramatically reduces the time required to get pets to level 50 for mutation access. The pet’s passive nature means it requires no active management, making it perfect for players who want consistent progression without constant micromanagement. For those who understand that pet levels and weight are the foundation of long-term success in Grow a Garden, the Blood Owl represents one of the most valuable investments available.

Fennec Fox

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Oasis Egg
Rarity	Mythical
Base Value	4,500,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	22 minutes 12 seconds
Ability Type	Mutation copying
Source	Neighbor’s garden
Target	Random plant in owner’s garden

The Fennec Fox brings a clever twist to mutation acquisition by specializing in copying valuable mutations from neighboring gardens rather than creating them from scratch. This Mythical-tier pet’s unique ability essentially allows you to “borrow” the mutation work of other players, making it incredibly valuable in multiplayer environments with active, developed gardens. When the Fennec Fox activates, it visits a nearby garden, copies a random mutation from one of their plants, and then applies that same mutation to a random plant in your own garden. What makes the Fennec Fox particularly strategic is its ability to acquire mutations that might be difficult or impossible to create on your own, including rare event-specific mutations or complex multi-mutation combinations. The pet’s 22-minute cooldown provides a nice balance of frequency and impact, ensuring regular opportunities to acquire new mutations without overwhelming the game’s economy. Many players use the Fennec Fox as part of a diversified mutation strategy, combining it with pets that create mutations and pets that spread mutations, creating a comprehensive mutation acquisition and distribution system. For social players who enjoy interacting with others and benefiting from community progress, the Fennec Fox offers both strategic value and a unique gameplay mechanic that encourages server engagement and cooperation.

Peach Wasp

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Admin War Event
Rarity	Mythical
Base Value	5,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Cooldown	20 minutes
Primary Effect	Plasma mutation
Secondary Effect	Random pet cooldown reduction
Plasma Value	Admin-level rarity

The Peach Wasp brings exclusive admin-level power to regular players through its ability to apply the once-admin-only Plasma mutation to crops while simultaneously providing valuable cooldown reduction support. This Mythical-tier pet represents a rare opportunity for non-admin players to access one of the game’s most prestigious and valuable mutations, making it incredibly sought after by collectors and power players alike. When the Peach Wasp activates, it applies the coveted Plasma mutation to random plants in your garden while also reducing the cooldown of a random active pet, combining immediate value generation with strategic utility. What makes the Peach Wasp particularly valuable is the exclusivity and prestige of the Plasma mutation – as a mutation that was originally only available through admin intervention, Plasma-mutated crops carry both significant monetary value and social status within the Grow a Garden community. Many players consider the Peach Wasp essential for completing mutation collections and achieving true endgame status. The pet’s 20-minute cooldown provides regular opportunities to generate Plasma mutations, while its cooldown reduction effect adds valuable utility that synergizes well with other high-tier pets. For players who value both power and prestige, the Peach Wasp represents one of the most desirable pets in the entire game.

Apple Gazelle

Stat	Value

This Legendary-tier pet’s extreme specialization in bamboo enhancement makes it virtually useless for players who don’t focus on bamboo farming, and even for bamboo specialists, the minimal value increase it provides is often not worth the inventory slot. When active, the Panda provides a small percentage boost to the value of bamboo crops harvested in your garden, making bamboo slightly more profitable than it would be naturally. What makes the Panda particularly noteworthy is how its Legendary rarity contrasts with its extremely limited utility – while most Legendary pets offer substantial benefits that justify their high value, the Panda’s bamboo-specific enhancement is so niche that many players consider it one of the worst investments in the game. Many players only acquire the Panda for collection purposes, keeping it in their inventory as a curiosity rather than using it actively in their gardens. The pet’s extreme specialization means it’s only relevant to a tiny subset of players who are dedicated to bamboo farming, and even then, there are usually better options for enhancing bamboo profitability. For players who value versatility and general utility in their pets, the Panda represents a cautionary tale about over-specialization, serving as an example of how even high-rarity pets can be virtually useless if their abilities are too narrowly focused.

Blood Kiwi

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Blood Moon Shop
Rarity	Legendary
Base Value	1,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Type	Hatching enhancement
Time Reduction Formula	(60 – Weight) seconds
Speed Increase	(20 + 0.2 × Weight)%
Target	Egg with longest remaining time

The Blood Kiwi focuses on hatching optimization through its ability to reduce hatch times and increase hatch speed for eggs with the longest remaining incubation periods, making it valuable for players who are heavily invested in pet breeding operations. This Legendary-tier pet’s mathematical approach to hatching enhancement provides targeted improvements that can be particularly valuable for players working with long-incubation eggs or large-scale breeding projects. When the Blood Kiwi activates, it targets the egg with the most remaining hatch time and reduces that time by (60 – Weight) seconds while also increasing the hatch speed by (20 + 0.2 × Weight)%, creating a compound effect that can significantly accelerate hatching for slow-incubating eggs. What makes the Blood Kiwi particularly interesting is its weight-dependent effectiveness – heavier Blood Kiwis provide substantially better performance, creating an incentive for players to invest in their development. Many strategic breeders use the Blood Kiwi as part of comprehensive hatching optimization setups, particularly when working with eggs that have naturally long incubation periods. The pet’s targeted approach to hatching enhancement means it’s most effective when you have multiple eggs incubating with varying time requirements, allowing it to focus on the ones that need the most help. For players who are serious about pet breeding and want to optimize their hatching efficiency, particularly for long-incubation eggs, the Blood Kiwi represents a valuable tool that provides targeted improvements where they’re needed most.

Koi

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Zen Shop
Rarity	Legendary
Base Value	2,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Type	Hatching bonus
Effect Type	Egg return chance
Success Formula	(0.22 × Weight + 3)%
Exclusions	Premium/Exotic/Rainbow Eggs

The Koi brings a unique hatching insurance mechanic to Grow a Garden through its ability to provide a chance of recovering eggs when hatching, making it valuable for players who are working with valuable or rare eggs and want to mitigate the risk of hatching failures. This Legendary-tier pet’s ability to potentially return eggs during the hatching process provides a safety net that can be particularly valuable when working with expensive or hard-to-acquire eggs. When eggs are hatched in a garden with an active Koi, there’s a (0.22 × Weight + 3)% chance that the egg will be returned to your inventory after hatching, effectively allowing you to hatch the same egg multiple times or recover valuable eggs that would otherwise be consumed in the hatching process. What makes the Koi particularly valuable is its role as a risk mitigation tool – players who are hatching expensive Mythical or Divine eggs can use the Koi to reduce the financial risk of hatching projects, potentially saving millions of Sheckles over time through egg recovery. Many strategic players keep the Koi active during high-value hatching sessions, appreciating its ability to provide a safety net for their most valuable breeding projects. The pet’s weight-dependent success rate encourages players to invest in its development for better performance, while its exclusion of Premium, Exotic, and Rainbow eggs maintains game balance by preventing exploitation of the most valuable egg types. For players who are heavily invested in pet breeding and want to minimize the risks associated with hatching valuable eggs, the Koi represents an excellent insurance tool that provides valuable peace of mind and potential cost savings.

Imp

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Mythical Egg
Rarity	Mythical
Base Value	1,500,000 Sheckles
Ability Type	Interactive mini-game
Game Type	Catch game
Rewards	Gear, event items, currency

The Imp brings interactive entertainment to Grow a Garden through its unique catch game mechanic, providing players with engaging mini-game opportunities that can yield various rewards including gear, event items, and currency. This Mythical-tier pet stands out from most other pets by offering active gameplay rather than passive benefits, making it appealing to players who enjoy interactive elements and hands-on activities within their gardening experience. When the Imp activates, it initiates a catch game where players must actively participate to catch the Imp, with successful catches resulting in rewards that can include valuable gear, limited-time event items, or various forms of currency. What makes the Imp particularly interesting is its departure from the standard pet formula – instead of providing passive bonuses or automated effects, it requires active player engagement and skill, creating a different type of gameplay experience within the broader gardening context. Many players keep the Imp in their active setups for the entertainment value and the chance to earn unique rewards through the catch game, appreciating the break from routine gardening tasks that it provides. The pet’s interactive nature means it’s most appealing to players who enjoy mini-games and active gameplay elements, while its Mythical rarity ensures that the rewards from successful catches remain valuable and desirable. For players who want more active engagement in their pet interactions and enjoy the thrill of skill-based reward systems, the Imp represents a unique and entertaining choice that provides both fun and functional benefits.

Shroomie

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Legendary Egg
Rarity	Legendary
Base Value	1,200,000 Sheckles
Ability Type	Conditional XP boost
XP Bonus	+0.75 XP per second
Requirement	Wisp Well must be placed
Comparison	Identical to Wisp effect

The Shroomie offers conditional experience enhancement identical to the Wisp, providing a +0.75 XP per second bonus to all active pets when a Wisp Well is placed in the garden. This Legendary-tier pet essentially serves as an alternative to the Wisp for players who prefer its fungal aesthetic or who want to run multiple XP-boosting pets simultaneously. When active alongside a Wisp Well, the Shroomie contributes the same substantial XP bonus as the Wisp, helping pets age and level more quickly than through natural progression alone. What makes the Shroomie particularly noteworthy is its functional redundancy with the Wisp – both pets provide identical XP benefits under the same conditions, making the choice between them primarily a matter of personal preference or aesthetic considerations rather than strategic differentiation. Many players who enjoy the mushroom theme or who want to maximize their XP boosting potential by running both the Shroomie and Wisp simultaneously choose this pet for its reliable and consistent performance. The pet’s conditional nature means it requires investment in the Wisp Well infrastructure, but for players who have committed to this system, the Shroomie provides valuable and predictable XP enhancement that can significantly accelerate pet development. For players who appreciate fungal aesthetics or want to maximize their XP generation capabilities through multiple identical boosters, the Shroomie represents a solid choice that provides reliable performance with a unique visual theme.

Turtle

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Legendary Egg
Rarity	Legendary
Base Value	1,000,000 Sheckles
Ability Type	Utility enhancement
Target Systems	Sprinklers
Effect Type	Duration extension
Enhancement Amount	Percentage-based increase

The Turtle specializes in sprinkler system enhancement through its ability to extend the duration of sprinkler effects, making it valuable for players who rely heavily on automated watering systems in their garden management strategies. This Legendary-tier pet’s focus on sprinkler optimization provides targeted benefits for players who prefer automated garden maintenance over manual watering. When active, the Turtle extends the duration of all sprinkler effects in your garden, reducing the frequency of sprinkler activation and providing more consistent automated watering coverage for your plants. What makes the Turtle particularly valuable is its role in automated garden setups – players who want to minimize manual maintenance and maximize the efficiency of their sprinkler systems can use the Turtle to reduce the need for frequent sprinkler replacements or reactivations. Many strategic players who focus on automated gardening keep the Turtle in their active setups, appreciating its ability to enhance the efficiency of their sprinkler infrastructure and reduce the maintenance requirements of their gardens. The pet’s percentage-based duration extension means its effectiveness scales with the base duration of your sprinklers, making it particularly valuable when used with high-quality or upgraded sprinkler systems. For players who value automation and want to maximize the efficiency of their sprinkler-based garden management systems, the Turtle represents an excellent tool that provides valuable enhancements to automated watering infrastructure.

Pig

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Sprout Egg
Rarity	Common
Base Value	60,000 Sheckles
Ability Type	Basic farming assistance
Effect Type	Minimal growth bonus
Impact Level	Barely noticeable

The Pig represents one of the most basic and minimally effective pets in Grow a Garden, offering only slight farming assistance that is barely noticeable in actual gameplay. This Common-tier pet serves primarily as an early-game placeholder or collection piece rather than a functional contributor to garden operations. When active, the Pig provides minimal growth bonuses to nearby plants that are so small they’re barely perceptible, making it one of the least impactful pets in terms of actual gameplay benefits. What makes the Pig particularly noteworthy is how it exemplifies the bottom tier of pet effectiveness – while even the weakest pets usually have some discernible impact, the Pig’s effects are so minimal that many players can’t even detect when it’s actively contributing to their garden. Many players only keep the Pig in their collection for completion purposes or as a reminder of their early days in the game, quickly replacing it with more effective pets as soon as they become available. The pet’s Common rarity and minimal effects make it accessible to new players but virtually useless for anyone who has progressed beyond the very early stages of the game. For players who are looking for meaningful garden enhancement and want pets that provide noticeable benefits, the Pig represents exactly what to avoid – a pet that occupies inventory space without providing any significant value in return.

Cow

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Sprout Egg
Rarity	Common
Base Value	70,000 Sheckles
Ability Type	Basic farming assistance
Effect Type	Minimal growth bonus
Impact Level	Slightly better than Pig

The Cow offers marginally better farming assistance than the Pig but still falls into the category of minimally effective pets that provide barely noticeable benefits to garden operations. This Common-tier pet represents a slight step up from the absolute bottom tier but remains largely ineffective for serious garden enhancement. When active, the Cow provides minimal growth bonuses to nearby plants that are slightly more effective than the Pig’s but still so small that they’re difficult to perceive in normal gameplay. What makes the Cow slightly more interesting than the Pig is its potential for very specific synergies with dairy or farming-themed setups, though these benefits are still minimal compared to more specialized pets. Many players acquire the Cow early in their Grow a Garden journey but quickly replace it with more effective options as they progress, keeping it primarily as a collection piece rather than an active contributor to garden operations. The pet’s Common rarity makes it accessible to new players, but its minimal effects mean it’s quickly outclassed by virtually any other pet players can acquire. For players who are serious about garden optimization and want pets that provide meaningful benefits, the Cow represents another example of a pet that occupies inventory space without delivering significant value, serving primarily as a stepping stone to more effective companions.

Chicken

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Sprout Egg
Rarity	Common
Base Value	50,000 Sheckles
Ability Type	Hatching enhancement
Effect Type	Egg hatch speed boost
Improvement Amount	Minimal percentage increase

The Chicken focuses on hatching enhancement through its ability to provide minimal speed boosts to egg hatching, making it one of the least effective pets in the hatching optimization category. This Common-tier pet’s minimal impact on hatch times means it’s rarely worth using for serious breeding operations, though it can serve as an introduction to hatching enhancement mechanics for new players. When active, the Chicken provides a small percentage increase to egg hatching speed that is barely noticeable in most breeding scenarios, making it one of the least impactful pets for players who are serious about optimizing their hatching efficiency. What makes the Chicken slightly more relevant than other basic pets is its connection to the broader chicken-themed pet family, including more effective variants like the Chicken Zombie, which can create some minimal thematic synergy for players who enjoy building around specific pet types. Many players acquire the Chicken early in their journey but quickly move on to more effective hatching enhancement pets as they progress, keeping it primarily as a collection piece or for thematic purposes. The pet’s Common rarity and minimal effects make it accessible but largely ineffective for players who have access to better options. For players who are serious about pet breeding and want meaningful hatching improvements, the Chicken represents exactly what to avoid – a pet that provides such minimal benefits that it’s virtually useless for serious breeding operations.

Frog

Stat	Value
Egg Type	Mythical Egg
Rarity	Mythical
Base Value	1,800,000 Sheckles
Ability Type	Basic growth assistance
Effect Type	Minimal plant growth boost
Impact Level	Less effective than Echo Frog

The Frog represents one of the most disappointing pets in Grow a Garden due to its Mythical rarity combined with minimally effective basic growth assistance that is outperformed by many lower-rarity pets. This Mythical-tier pet’s ability to provide minimal plant growth boosts stands in stark contrast to its high rarity and cost, making it a poor investment for players who expect substantial benefits from Mythical-tier companions. When active, the Frog provides minimal growth assistance to nearby plants that is barely noticeable and significantly less effective than similar pets like the Echo Frog, despite sharing the same basic growth enhancement theme. What makes the Frog particularly noteworthy is how it exemplifies the problem of rarity not correlating with effectiveness – while most Mythical pets offer substantial and unique benefits, the Frog’s minimal growth assistance feels more appropriate for a Common or Uncommon pet than a Mythical one. Many players who acquire the Frog are disappointed by its performance, often replacing it quickly with more effective options despite its high rarity. The pet’s high cost combined with its minimal effects makes it one of the worst value propositions in the entire pet roster, serving primarily as a cautionary tale about not judging pets by rarity alone. For players who want meaningful garden enhancement and expect substantial benefits from high-rarity pets, the Frog represents exactly what to avoid – an expensive, high-rarity pet that fails to deliver performance commensurate with its cost and classification.

Pet Mechanics Deep Dive

Age and Weight System

Pet effectiveness is directly tied to their Age and Weight stats:

• Age Progression: Pets gain XP over time and must be fed to continue aging
• Weight Classes: Small (<1kg), Normal (1-4.99kg), Huge (5-6.99kg), Titanic (7-8.99kg), Godly (≥9kg)
• Ability Scaling: Most pets become more effective as they age and gain weight
• Weight Formula: Pets gain 1/11th of their starting weight each time they age

Weight Impact on Abilities:

• Reduced Cooldowns: Higher weight often means shorter ability cooldowns
• Increased Success Rates: Better weight improves mutation and ability success chances
• Enhanced Effects: Some pets provide stronger effects at higher weights

Pet Mutations System

Added in Update 1.14.0, pet mutations allow you to permanently enhance pets level 50+:

Mutation	Chance	Effect
Shiny	32.15%	+15% XP per second
Inverted	16.08%	+30% XP per second
Golden	6.43%	Major passive ability boost
Rainbow	3.22%	Massive passive ability boost
Mega	6.43%	Larger size, faster hunger, +10-40 XP/sec
Tiny	6.43%	Smaller size, slower hunger, +5-30 XP/sec
