How We Rank

Pets are ranked by economy impact (how much money, how many seeds or eggs the passive quietly prints), universality (works for every player at every stage, not one niche setup), and slot cost (you only have three slots, so a pet must beat what it replaces). Full stats for all 18 pets are in the pet list.

S Tier: The Core Trio

Free-resource engines: Robin finds seeds (with mutation chances), Woodpecker turns your grove into a seed farm, Magpie finds pet eggs. Every Ticket these three save compounds across every session you play.

Robin Rare Egg

Occasionally finds seeds with a chance of random mutations

Woodpecker Epic Egg

Pecks trees for a chance to drop their seed

Magpie Mythic Egg

Occasionally finds pet eggs

A Tier: Task Slots

The best third-slot picks once the core trio is equipped: Dog for weather events, Cat for growth speed, Monkey for free Mythic-plus fruit, Sheep for leveling everything else you own.

Dog Rare Egg

Raises fruit mutation chance during weather events

Cat Rare Egg

Makes fruits grow faster

Sheep Legendary Egg

Grants bonus XP to your other equipped pets

Monkey Mythic Egg

Occasionally finds Mythic or higher fruit with random sizes and mutations

B Tier: Situational Strengths

Strong with the right setup: Raccoon scales free Legendary fruit with your seed tier, Turtle is the only lightning protection in the game, Pig and Chicken fill specific mutation and hatching roles.

Chicken Epic Egg

Makes pet eggs hatch at higher levels

Pig Legendary Egg

Applies the Huge mutation to fruits

Raccoon Legendary Egg

Occasionally finds Legendary fruit with random sizes and mutations

Turtle Mythic Egg

Small chance to negate a lightning strike during tree growth

C Tier: Niche Specialists

Do one narrow thing: Frog, Roach, and Alligator apply their pet-only mutations, Cow improves fertilizer. Worth equipping only when that specific job is your bottleneck.

Roach Epic Egg

Applies the Infested mutation to fruits

Cow Legendary Egg

Improves fertilizer effects without raising their price

Frog Mythic Egg

Applies the Slimy mutation to fruits

Alligator Mythic Egg

Small chance to apply the Scaled mutation to planted seeds

D Tier: First Hatches

The Common Egg trio share one passive — a trickle of free Common fruit. Fine for your first hours; outgrown the moment anything better hatches.

Squirrel Common Egg

Occasionally finds Common fruit with random sizes and mutations

Bunny Common Egg

Occasionally finds Common fruit with random sizes and mutations

Mouse Common Egg

Occasionally finds Common fruit with random sizes and mutations

The long-form version of this ranking — with hatch strategies and slot rotation logic — is our best pets guide. Pets and seeds are half of the same economy: the seed tier list ranks the other half, and the four pet-applied mutations explain why the mutation pets rank where they do.

FAQ

What is the best pet in Greedy Growers?

Robin (Rare Egg, 200 Tickets) — it occasionally finds seeds with a chance of random mutations, and free seeds compound across every session. Woodpecker and Magpie complete the S-tier core trio.

Which three pets should I equip?

Start with Robin + Woodpecker, then rotate the third slot by task: Dog for weather events, Cat for growth speed, Turtle when protecting a valuable tree, Sheep while leveling, Magpie while farming eggs.

Are Common Egg pets worth buying?

Only at the very start — Squirrel, Bunny, and Mouse share one passive (occasional free Common fruit) and are outgrown quickly. Save Tickets for Rare Eggs, which contain Robin, the best pet in the game.

How often is this tier list updated?

Whenever an update changes pet passives, egg pools, or costs. Each pet’s stats are re-verified in-game before the ranking changes — see the verified date badge above.
