Pet Mutations were added toGrow a Gardenas part ofthe Pet Mutation update, which was released in July of 2025. They allow players to enhance the existing traits of their pets, or, in some cases, add brand-new traits entirely. To get a pet mutation, players will need to grow their pet to Level 50 and then take it to the Pet Mutation machine over by Raphael’s Egg Shop. After paying 500 million Sheckles and waiting for sixty minutes, a random mutation will be applied.
There are 15Grow a Gardenpet mutations as of the time of writing, with some being a lot better than others. Certain pet mutations can be very situational, with their value determined by the aims of the player and how well they complement the existing traits of the pet. IfRobloxplayers aren’t happy with the mutation that they get, they can always put their pet back into the machine and get a new one, although they’ll need to get the pet back up to level 50 before they can do so.

What Are the Best Pet Mutations in Grow a Garden?
Ascended is by far the bestGrow a Gardenpet mutation, as Dawnbound increases a plant’s value by 150x and is currently the best crop mutation in the game. Rainbow is another great option and works well with pretty much every pet in the game, while IronSkin pairs well with the Ankylosaurus, which can behatched out of Primal Eggs. Conversely, Golden is the worst pet mutation, as it’s objectively worse than Rainbow. Shiny, Inverted, Tiny, and Mega aren’t all that great either, but they at least speed up growth, making it easier for players to get their pet back up to level 50 and rereoll for a better pet mutation.
