Grow a Garden Pet Mutations tier list

Pet Mutations is the newest major mechanic introduced to Grow a Garden. These are alterations that affect Pets, randomly giving them an additional permanent ability from a pool of several abilities. Unlike Fruit Mutations, Pet Mutations don’t stack, giving each of them significantly more weight gameplay-wise. As such, knowing which of them elevates your Pet to the next level can be quite important.

The Pet Mutations listed in this tier are as good as they can be. Your farming experience will become significantly better, particularly with the ones that rapidly apply Mutations to the Fruits on your farm.

Regardless of where the Pet ranks among other companions, with these alterations, it will be worth keeping on your farm. Incidentally, these are also some of the rarest Pet Mutations in the game.

These Pet Mutations are just shy of being at the upper echelon and are only held back by slight shortcomings. If you land on any of these, consider keeping them on your Pet, as your gardening experience can only improve with these active.

Pet Mutation	Ability	Mutation chance
Radiant	Every 20-30 minutes, it advances a random plant’s growth by 24 hours.	3.22%
Golden	Boosts the Pet’s innate passive ability by 10%.	6.43%
Shocked	25%-30% chance to attract lightning to nearby Fruits during a Thunderstorm, about every minute, applying the Shocked Mutation.	3.22%

B-Tier

The Mutations in the B-Tier are only okay in specific situations. These situations are a little too niche for them to be ranked any higher, but they can prove to be quite useful when the time is right. If your Pet’s innate ability is quite good, you can consider keeping these Mutations anyway.

Pet Mutation	Ability	Mutation chance
Iron Skin	35%-45% chance of recovering stolen Fruit.	3.22%
Mega	Massively increases the affected Pet’s size. Increases hunger rate by 20%. Gains 10-40 XP per second.	6.43%
Tiny	Massively decreases the affected Pet’s size. Reduces hunger rate by 20%. Gains 5-30 XP per second.	6.43%

C-Tier

The Pet Mutations in the C-Tier don’t radically affect how the Pet functions. These are passives that can be nifty every once in a while. If you have another Pet of the same kind, consider trying for a better Pet Mutation.

Pet Mutation	Ability	Mutation chance
Shiny	Provides an additional 15% boost to the Pet’s XP gain rate.	32.15%
Inverted	Provides an additional 30% boost to the Pet’s XP gain rate.	16.08%
