This guide explores two valuable Legendary-tier pets that were available during the Grow A Garden summer events: the Meerkat, a master of cooldown reduction, and the Sand Snake, a thrifty companion for savvy shoppers. Please note that both of these pets were from limited-time events and are no longer obtainable through their original methods. ☀️

The Meerkat (Limited Legendary Pet) 🧍
The Meerkat is a Legendary pet that was released during the Mega Harvest Update and could be hatched from an Oasis Egg with a 45% chance.
Appearance: The in-game pet is a small, upright meerkat with a tan face and chest and a darker brown back. It has a distinctive mane-like shape around the top of its head and shiny, square eyes.
Passive Ability: “Lookout”
The Meerkat’s ability is an excellent support tool for making your other pets more efficient.
- Effect: Approximately every 7 minutes, the Meerkat will perform a “lookout” on another random pet, advancing that pet’s ability cooldown by ~21 seconds.
- Chain Potential: What makes the “Lookout” ability truly special is its chain potential. After each successful activation, the Meerkat has a 15.53% chance to immediately perform the lookout again, potentially triggering multiple times in a row and granting a significant cooldown reduction to one or more pets.
The Sand Snake (Limited Legendary Pet) 🐍
The Sand Snake is another Legendary pet from the Summer Harvest Event. It could be hatched from an Oasis Egg with a 34.5% chance or purchased directly from the Harvest Shop.
Appearance: The Sand Snake has a blocky, cuboid design, resembling its real-life counterpart. It is tan with a darker back, two visible fangs, and a red tongue.
Passive Ability: Item Duplication 🛒
The Sand Snake is the perfect companion for players who spend a lot of time in the shops.
- Effect: When you buy any item from the Seed Shop or the Gear Shop, the Sand Snake has a 1.3% to 3% chance to duplicate the item you just purchased, giving you a free copy. Over time, this can save you a significant amount of in-game currency.
