Grow a Garden, developer not listed, has a refreshed pet tier list covering the Fairy event, and a note was added on August 30, 2025. The update lists S-to-F rankings, egg drop rates, and all pet passives, plus which eggs to target for mutation-focused builds.
Short and punchy: the ranking below sorts pets by overall usefulness, rarity, hatch rate, and passive effects. Want extra help with seeds or codes while pets do their thing? Check the Grow a Garden codes list of active codes or consult the Grow a Garden values guide.
Here’s how pets rank for the Fairy event:
| Tier | Pet |
|---|---|
| S | Scarlet Macaw, Chicken Zombie, Blood Hedgehog, Disco Bee, T-Rex, Pachycephalosaurus, Spinosaurus, Lobster Thermidor, Golden Goose |
| A | Snail, Dragonfly, Giant Ant, Polar Bear, Red Giant Ant, Honey Bee, Cooked Owl, Fennec Fox, Hyacinth Macaw, Sand Snake, Brontosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Kappa, Kitsune, French Fry Ferret, Gorilla Chef, Bacon Pig, Hotdog Daschund, Spriggan, Golem |
| B | Pig, Silver Monkey, Squirrel, Mole, Otter, Bee, Bear Bee, Petal Bee, Queen Bee, Butterfly, Tarantula Hawk, Mini Octopus, Flamingo, Orangutan, Triceratops, Parasaurolophus, Iguanodon, Tanchozuru, Pancake Mole, Sushi Bear, Seedling |
| C | Spotted Deer, Orange Tabby, Blood Owl, Praying Mantis, Grey Mouse, Red Fox, Wasp, Moth, Pack Bee, Seagull, Raptor, Stegosaurus, Pterodactyl, Shiba Inu, Nihonzaru, Tanuki, Spaghetti Sloth, Sunny-Side Chicken, Dairy Cow, Jackalope |
| D | Raccoon, Monkey, Blood Kiwi, Cow, Turtle, Caterpillar, Golden Lab, Deer, Night Owl, Hedgehog, Crab, Starfish, Mochi Mouse, Bagel Bunny |
| F | Frog, Echo Frog, Brown Mouse, Dog, Bunny, Black Bunny, Chicken, Cat |
The ranking uses rarity, egg cost, hatch speed, and passive effects. Mutation-chance pets are strong picks because they can boost expensive fruits; cheap eggs that hand out mutation pets tend to climb the list fast.
Which pet currently tops the list?
Without factoring egg price, the Blood Hedgehog stands out as the single best pet for value. It boosts costly fruits and can mutate them, which may drastically increase sell value.
Best egg for strong pets
The Bug Egg is highlighted for having top-tier drops despite rare shop appearances. It has a low spawn chance in a shop slot but can yield Snail, Giant Ant, Praying Mantis and Dragonfly, which frequently sit high on tier lists.
