Best Pets Tier List 2026

The definitive ranking of all 105 pets in Grow a Garden. Updated for the current meta!

S-Tier (Must Have)

🏆 Time Keeper (Divine)

  • Ability: Instant Grow - Skip crop growth entirely
  • Why S-Tier: The single most powerful ability in the game. One button = instant harvest.

    • 🏆 Kitsune (Divine)

  • Ability: Chakra Stealing - Copy mutations from other players
  • Why S-Tier: Steal high-value mutations without doing the work. Broken in multiplayer.

    • 🏆 Queen Bee (Mythical)

  • Ability: Cooldown Refresh - Reset other pet cooldowns
  • Why S-Tier: Synergizes with every other pet. Turns good pets into great pets.

    • 🏆 Butterfly (Legendary)

  • Ability: Rainbow Force - Guarantees x50 Rainbow mutation
  • Why S-Tier: Rainbow is the strongest variant mutation. Guaranteed value.

    • A-Tier (Excellent)

  • Sea Otter - Auto watering for AFK farming
  • Giant Scorpion - Venom + cooldown refresh combo
  • Aurora Serpent - Aurora mutation (55x) on demand
  • Celestial Dragon - +150% all bonuses
  • Galaxy Phoenix - Auto-replant + cosmic mutations

    • B-Tier (Good)

  • Dragonfly - Gold/Diamond mutations
  • Lion - Weather-independent mutations
  • Panda - 1.5x Bamboo (great early-mid game)
  • Deer - Berry auto-replant loops
  • Storm Eagle - Shocked mutation (100x!)

    • C-Tier (Situational)

  • Most Epic and Legendary pets fall here
  • Good for specific strategies but not essential
  • Event pets often land here

    • D-Tier (Avoid)

  • Common pets (except for very early game)
  • Pets with outdated or weak abilities
  • Anything without mutation application

    • ---

    Pro Tip: Focus on getting ONE S-tier pet before building a collection. Quality over quantity!
