These adorable creatures aren't just for show; they offer real benefits for your garden's growth and efficiency. Whether you're a casual player or a seasoned gardener, this guide will help you unlock their potential and make your garden thrive!

New Pets Overview

The Fall update introduced several new pets, each with unique abilities and designs. 

Here's a breakdown of the pets I've unlocked so far:

Woodpecker

Rarity: Rare

Appearance: A small, vibrant red-headed bird with a lively vibe.

Ability: Every 2 minutes, the Woodpecker visits wood-type plants and pecks at them, granting a chance to duplicate wood-type fruits. Rare fruits have a lower duplication chance, but if you're growing premium fruits like Sugar Apple, this pet becomes invaluable.

If your goal is to gather wood-type fruits quickly for quests or trades, the Woodpecker is a must-have companion.

Mard Duck

Rarity: Legendary

Appearance: A quirky duck with funny flying animations.

Ability: Every 30 minutes, Mard Duck flies south and disappears from your garden, leaving behind a random reward before returning to your inventory. Rewards can include fruits, gear, or even eggs!

Mard Duck's ability adds an element of surprise to your gameplay. The potential for pet eggs makes it a great choice for collectors looking to expand their inventory.

Sugar Glider

Rarity: Rare

Appearance: A tiny, agile flying squirrel that's incredibly cute.

Ability: Copies one mutation from three different mutated fruits and applies it to the next fruit. If you're searching for rare mutations like Chilled or Wide Touched, Sugar Glider can significantly speed up your progress.

High-level quests often require specific mutated fruits. Sugar Glider helps you generate those fruits faster, reducing the grind for rare mutations.

Space Squirrel

Rarity: Divine

Appearance: A cosmic-themed squirrel with faint glowing effects.

Ability: Every 17 minutes, it has a 16% chance to apply the Wide Touched mutation to a fruit, increasing its value.

Practicality: Although the activation rate is low, Wide Touched is crucial for boosting fruit prices. If you're focused on earning coins, Space Squirrel is a valuable addition to your garden.

Each pet offers unique benefits, but how can you fully utilize their abilities? Here are some practical tips:

Strategic Pet Pairing

If your focus is on fruit duplication, pair Woodpecker with Sugar Glider. Their abilities complement each other, helping you generate both quantity and quality.

For random rewards, Mard Duck is your go-to, especially during long play sessions or while AFK.

Optimal Placement

Woodpecker works best near wood-type plants, so ensure your garden has plenty of them to maximize its efficiency.

Space Squirrel's ability isn't tied to location, so you can place it anywhere in your garden.

Reward Awareness

Mard Duck's random rewards can include gear or pet eggs, making it a great option for players looking to diversify their inventory.
