Grow a Garden Best Pets
What are the best pets to place in your garden?
Turtle
The Turtle pet is of Legendary rarity, which means you can only obtain it when hatching a Legendary Pet Egg. It has a low 2.13% chance of hatching! Its rarity is due to its powerful passive ability. When the Turtle pet is active in your garden, the duration of your sprinklers lasts 20% longer.
This makes sprinklers worth so much more, which means you won’t feel so bad spending loads of in-game cash on them from the Gear Shop. Sprinklers offer a variety of buffs for your garden, such as increasing the growth speed, potentially boosting the size of your crops, and possibly adding mutations.
Sea Otter
This pet is obtainable via Legendary Pet Eggs, with a 10.64% chance of hatching from them. As the Sea Otter wanders around the garden, it occasionally sprays water on the crops. If you use sprinklers and the watering can, you’ll know that when the crops get watered, their growing speed increases!
Whenever the Sea Otter waters the plants, you don’t need to purchase additional sprinklers, and you don’t waste money on buying a watering can from the Gear Shop. Then again, you can get a watering can from the daily rewards system, which means an increased boost to growth speed!
Orange Tabby
The Orange Tabby is a Rare pet that you can only obtain when hatching Rare Pet Eggs. This pet has a 33.33% chance of hatching! So, what makes it one of the best? It’s a passive ability that grants a notable boost to fruit size every 90 seconds. After 90 seconds, the cat has a nap for 15 seconds. Whilst napping, all crops within 15 studs of the cat get a size boost of 1.5x.
This makes a difference, and it means these crops can sell for more! Plus, with the requirements for the Angry Plant event, there’s a chance that future events may require you to collect crops with certain weights. For some reason, it took me ages to get corn that was an accurate weight for the Angry Plant!
