Grow A Garden Store

Grow A Garden, a heartwarming and adorable casual game, has been loved by many players since its release, with tending to their gardens becoming a great way for them to relax.

Pets, as special companions in the garden, are not just decorations but also your helpers. Different pets provide different buffs, rewards, and passive effects to your garden.

They can also help you progress in the game by promoting plant growth, collecting resources, shortening time, and increasing the chance of mutation.

Next, I will introduce you to the pet mechanics in Grow A Garden, as well as the current best pet rankings, to help you choose the pets that will be most helpful to you from among the many available.

How to Obtain Pets?

Players can acquire many adorable pets in the game, but initially, players can only store a maximum of 60 pets unless they purchase additional pet storage space.

The way to obtain pets in the game is by hatching Pet Eggs, which can be obtained from Pet Eggs shop, Traveling Merchants, or special event shops. These eggs are random, and the rarity of the pets they hatch is also random, similar to opening a blind box.

Some eggs are easy to obtain, while others only appear during special events. Hatching pet eggs also takes time, with higher rarity eggs taking longer to hatch.

Below are the types of pet eggs that are readily available and their costs:

• Common Egg: 50,000 Sheckles
• Uncommon Egg: 150,000 Sheckles
• Rare Egg: 600,000 Sheckles
• Legendary Egg: 3,000,000 Sheckles
• Mythical Egg: 8,000,000 Sheckles
• Bug Egg: 50,000,000 Sheckles
• Jungle Egg: 60,000,000 Sheckles

Some special eggs (such as Bee Eggs, Summer Eggs, etc.) only appear during special events and hatch into unique Grow A Garden pets.

Pet Abilities

Pets are broadly categorized into several types, each assisting you in different game actions:

• Crop Boosters: These pets directly help your plants grow faster, produce more, or mutate more frequently;
• Resource Helpers: These pets help you collect, find, or save resources;
• Utility Pets and Special Pets: Some pets offer unique passive effect bonuses.

How to Level Up Pets?

To improve your pets' strength, you need to level them up. The higher the pet's level, the better the effects they provide.

Generally, pets gain XP over time as long as they are well-fed. Feeding them crops or fruits replenishes their hunger, allowing them to grow, which is equivalent to leveling up.

Here are some quick leveling-up tips:

• Feed large fruits: Each feeding grants more experience points;
• Use pets like Sea Turtle, Capybara, and Owl to increase experience point gain speed;
• Stack multiple experience-boosting pets for exponential growth;
• Feed your pets before you log off to ensure they continue leveling up offline.

Pet Mutations

Once you've raised your pet to a higher level (usually level 50 or higher), you can use Mutation Machine or items to add special mutation effects. Here are all the pet mutation types:

• Shiny
• Inverted
• Windy
• Frozen
• Golden
• Tiny
• Mega
• IronSkin
• Radiant
• Shocked
• Rainbow
• Tranquil
• Corrupted
• Fried
• Ascended

Each mutation costs 500 million Sheckles and requires a 60-minute wait. Afterward, your pet will gain a random mutation effect.

These mutations can provide additional buffs, such as increased passive skill strength or additional effects.

Currently, Ascended is the best pet mutation effect in Garden because it increases the value of crops by 150 times, allowing you to acquire more Sheckles to exchange for Grow A Garden items you need.

What are some popular pets?

Currently, there are 271 pets in the game, each with unique abilities. However, not all pets are equally good. Due to differences in rarity and abilities, some pets are highly sought after by players, while others are rarely kept.

Kitsuni

First is Kitsuni, the most popular pet in the game, surpassing all other fruit-stealing animals. It's even better than the raccoon because it not only helps you steal plants but also increases their value by 15 to 90 times before giving them to you.

Dragonfly and Butterfly

These two flying animals are also excellent pet choices because they give you the two most valuable mutations in the game: Gold and Rainbow.

These mutated pets can significantly increase the stacking bonus of crop value, causing it to skyrocket from millions to billions. This is fantastic for players who urgently need to collect Sheckles.

Disco Bee and Space Squirrel

These two pets can spawn Disco and Voidtouched plants. These variant plants are extremely rare and expensive, costing 125 times and 135 times their original price, respectively.

Kois

Kois is a very powerful pet. With them, you can obtain many eggs from previous versions and hatch rainbow pets. They're your lucky charm.

Pet Raising Tips

Balance your pet combination: Don't just choose the rarest pets; choose pets that suit your playstyle.

• Utilize stacking effects: Multiple pets of the same type can stack skill buffs.
• Don't let your pets get too hungry: Low hunger will stop your pet's growth; be sure to feed them regularly.
• Strategic trading: Use the trading system to acquire rare pets for your specific goals.

Pets in Grow A Garden are not just decorative companions; they are also powerful assistants who can significantly impact your efficiency, plant mutations, and overall game progress.

While raising them is hard work, the rewards they bring are beyond your imagination!
