If you’re into Grow a Garden, knowing which pets are worth trading is key. This updated tier list uses real-world values pulled from across the internet, so when you trade in public servers, you’ll know when you’re winning—or losing—a trade. Let’s dive in.
D Tier: The Undervalued Pets
- Lobster
The lobster is down in D tier. Many divine pets have dropped because of heavy farming, macro usage, and multi-account play. The supply is high, so their value plummets. - Red Fox
At the very bottom of E tier, the Red Fox barely makes the list. Its real-world value is extremely low, but since it’s technically divine and popular, it’s worth noting. Learn more about the Red Fox pet.
C Tier: Niche or Slowly Declining
- T-Rex
Surprisingly, T-Rex has increased slightly (1–2%). With the Nihon nerf, T-Rex eggs are no longer farmed endlessly, and demand is slowly outstripping supply. - Spinosaurus
Similar to T-Rex, Spinosaurus is trending up due to reduced supply. - Queen Bee
Still top 15–20 out of 120+ pets, but below Spinosaurus and T-Rex. Useful, but its category is fading. - Sprigen
A bit of a mystery; real-world value is C tier despite bloom mutation availability. - Apple Gazelle
A newer addition; still holds value in C tier. Check out the Apple Gazelle guide. - Green Bean
Slightly below T-Rex value; roughly equal to Sprigen. Read the Green Bean guide.
B Tier: Useful Trading Chips
- Dragonfly
Remains a solid B tier pet and is handy for acquiring rare pets like rainbow Brontosauruses. Check the Dragonfly guide. - Band
Value dropping; rare but mostly unwanted. - Blood Owl
Above cutoff for value; excellent for leveling pets. - Fenice Fox
Stable, with about 25% value difference from a butterfly.
A Tier: Rare and Hard-to-Trade
- Ascended Pet
Technically A tier, but niche demand makes trading tricky. May need patience or accept B-tier value. - Butterfly
Top trading pet; roughly three dragonflies equal one butterfly. Butterfly guide here. - Mimic Octopus
Trending up, nearly matching Dragonfly in value. Mimic guide.
E Tier: Mostly Worthless
- Chicken Jockey
Massively supplied; value dropped to Red Fox levels. - Golden Goose
Farmed heavily, with almost no effect; trade for anything more valuable. - Corrupted Kitsune & Ferret Fox
Oversupplied; essentially worthless.
High-End Trading Pets
- Raccoon
Used to be a high-end currency, but prices are dropping as traders fear frozen dupes. Raccoon guide. - Red Kitsune
New top-tier trade currency, slightly higher than two raccoons. - Metahuges
Includes 15-second Peacock, Mimic Octopus, 20-second Sea Turtle, etc. Extremely rare and valuable.
Tips for Public Server Trading
- Use real-world value as your benchmark, not server trends.
- Start low in offers and increase until the trade is accepted—learn market value firsthand.
- Bulk pets like Junkbot or Chicken Jockey are essentially worthless, so don’t overvalue them.
New and Upcoming Pets
- Lemon Lion – Below cutoff; low real-world value. Guide.
- Griffin – Farmed heavily; gorgeous but low value.
- Peach Wasp – Slightly below Dragonfly. Peach Wasp guide.
This tier list uses real-world values, so when trading in public servers, remember: your Red Fox may net a T-Rex, but that doesn’t mean it’s truly worth it—it just means you made a smart trade.
