What are the best pets in Grow a Garden?
The most valuable pets are the ones whose abilities create Sheckles directly: Dragonfly (Divine) turns a random fruit Gold, a ×20 variant; Raccoon (Divine) duplicates fruit from other players’ plots; Wolf (Legendary) applies the Moonlit mutation (×2) at night. Among the pets with trade estimates, Wolf ranks first. Rarity alone does not decide value. The ability does.
Why ability beats rarity
- Dragonfly: one Gold fruit = ×20 on that fruit’s value every trigger
- Wolf: Moonlit is only ×2, but it stacks with every other mutation on the fruit
- A Bee (Uncommon) still pays off early: Pollinated is ×3 on cheap crops
Result: pick pets by what their ability does to your crops, then by rarity
