Grow a Garden Pet Mutation Planner

Which pets should you prioritize?
Butterfly (Rainbow x50), Dragonfly (Gold x20), and Disco Bee (Disco x125) form the core of most end-game builds. Pair them with support pets that boost growth speed or automate sprays to keep mutation uptime high.
How pet mutations work
Pets trigger mutation checks at set intervals while equipped. Some act passively; others require interaction or proximity to specific plants.
Mixing pet-based mutations with weather or spray effects multiplies values even further. The calculator reveals cumulative multipliers so you can plan sequences.
Pet-by-pet breakdown
Dragonfly: grants Gold mutation (x20) and speeds up pollination.
Butterfly: grants Rainbow mutation (x50) with a moderate cooldown.
Disco Bee: unlocks Disco (x125) during events or when charged with music notes.
Zen Cat & Tranquil pets: boost growth times and stack with Tranquil mutations for steady income.
Synergy playbooks
Solo farming: rotate Dragonfly and Butterfly while scheduling weather sprays to chase Frozen and Rainbow hybrids.
Co-op squads: assign one player to pet rotations, another to weather coverage, and a runner to harvest high-value plants.
Mutation chaining: trigger base pet mutation first, then add weather/spray effects for exponential gains before harvesting.
Pet management tips
- Level pets evenly—higher levels reduce cooldowns and boost mutation success rates.
- Keep a dedicated "mutation loadout" hotbar so you can swap pets instantly when events start.
- Track market demand: some mutations spike in value during limited-time events; stash extras for trade.
Build a mutation-ready roster
Collect pets with complementary abilities, plan rotation scripts, and use the calculator to verify multipliers. Your garden will print coins while other players scramble to keep up.
