All Pets — Full Details
Bee
Small chance to double harvest yield on common crops.
💡 Good starter pet but replace as soon as possible with a higher tier option.
Cat
Slightly increases the chance of golden mutations on all crops.
💡 The mutation boost is small but useful early game when you need coins.
Dog
Occasionally auto-harvests a nearby crop for you.
💡 Auto-harvest is convenient but the value gain is minimal. Replace early.
Fox
Increases coin earnings from selling crops by 10%.
💡 One of the best uncommon pets. The coin bonus stacks well with rare crops.
Bunny
Reduces grow time of all crops by 10%.
💡 Grow time reduction is one of the most valuable abilities. Keep this pet active.
Dragon
Significantly increases the chance of volcanic and rare mutations.
💡 The best pet for mutation farming. Use during volcanic weather events for maximum effect.
Unicorn
Doubles the chance of rainbow mutations on all crops.
💡 Arguably the best pet in the game for value generation. Rainbow mutations are extremely valuable.
Phoenix
Crops have a chance to regrow immediately after harvest for free.
💡 The free regrow ability is extremely powerful for high-value legendary crops.
Celestial Owl
Massively increases celestial mutation chance and gives a 25% value bonus to all crops.
💡 The rarest and most powerful pet. If you have one, it will transform your farm income.
Turtle
Protects crops from negative weather events.
💡 Useful during bad weather events but not a priority pick.
Panda
Increases sell value of all crops by 15%.
💡 Straight value increase makes this one of the most universally useful rare pets.
Pets FAQ
How do I get better pets?
Better pets are hatched from higher-tier eggs, which cost more coins. You can also trade mutated crops or other pets to obtain S-tier pets like the Unicorn or Dragon.
What is the best pet for making money?
The Unicorn is widely considered the best for value because it doubles the chance of Rainbow mutations, which are 5x value. The Fox and Panda are also great for direct coin bonuses.
Do pet abilities stack?
Yes, if you can equip multiple pets (through game passes or unlocks), their abilities stack, allowing for massive bonuses to mutation rates and grow speed.
What does the Rebirth ability do?
The Phoenix's Rebirth ability gives a chance for a crop to immediately regrow after harvest without needing a new seed. This is extremely powerful for Legendary crops.
