The latest Zen update in Grow a Garden introduces exciting new Zen Egg Pets, including the highly anticipated Kitsune, the first Prismatic pet rumored to dethrone the Raccoon as the top-tier companion. Here’s a comprehensive guide to all the new Zen pets and the easiest ways to get your hands on those coveted Zen Eggs.
Introducing the Zen Egg Pets
The Zen Eggs contain six new pets, each with unique and powerful traits that could replace your current Primal and Dinosaur pets.
| Pet Name | Rarity | Trait |
|---|---|---|
| Shiba Inu | Uncommon | Every 57.88 seconds, has a 15.11% chance to dig up a random seed. |
| Nihonzaru | Rare | If your garden has a hot spring cosmetic, it will boost the passive of all other pets by a small percentage. |
| Tanuki | Legendary | Every 10.30 minutes, it does random actions in your garden and causes mischief. |
| Tanchozuru | Mythical | Every 10.22 minutes, fruits within 15.47 studs have a 5.23% chance to get the Tranquil mutation. |
| Kappa | Mythical | – Every 7.58 seconds, applies the Wet mutation on plants within range. – Has a 10.24% chance to replace Wet mutated plants with Bloodlit mutation. |
| Kitsune | Prismatic | – Every 20 minutes, it mutates a random fruit from another garden with Chakra (5x) and duplicates it. – Also has a rare chance of applying the Foxfire Chakra mutation on that fruit. |
How to Get Zen Eggs in Grow a Garden
You can obtain Zen Eggs through two straightforward methods that don’t require any Robux:
1. From Unk the Monk NPC
This is the most cost-effective method. Locate Monk Unk NPC in the center of the play area. To get free Zen Eggs, you need to submit plants with the Tranquil mutation to him.
- How to get Tranquil mutation: Wait for the Zen Aura event, which spawns every hour.
- Process: Submit your Tranquil mutated plants or fruits to the Monk. This will fill a progress bar and help grow the Zen Tree behind him. As the tree levels up, you’ll receive random Zen-themed rewards, with a high chance of getting Zen Eggs.
2. From the Zen Shop
If you prefer a quicker method and have accumulated enough Chi points, you can purchase Zen Eggs from the Zen Shop.
- Accessing the shop: Interact with the Brown Raccoon NPC located beside the Monk.
- Currency: You’ll need Chi points to buy Zen Eggs.
- Shop Refresh: The Zen Shop refreshes every hour, but you can restock items by spending a few Sheckles and clicking the restock button in the top-right corner of the shop interface.
Best Zen Egg Pets to Hatch
After testing the new pets, here are the top recommendations for adding value to your garden:
- Kitsune: The clear winner. It not only provides a random fruit but also applies the powerful Chakra mutation (5x) and has a rare chance for the Foxfire Chakra mutation. It’s considered superior to the Raccoon.
- Kappa: With its low cooldown, it frequently applies the Wet mutation to fruits and can also transform them with the Bloodlit mutation, significantly boosting your fruit profits.
- Shiba Inu: While similar to the Dog and Golden Lab, its passive has a much shorter cooldown, allowing you to obtain more seeds more frequently.
