Grow a Garden Shark Pet Guide: How It Works & Where to Get!

The new Shark Pet in Grow a Garden is one of the most unique pets added to the game. Instead of giving a passive bonus, it can transfer a mutation from one pet to another. However, there’s a catch—the pet being used for the transfer is permanently deleted. Here’s a simple guide on how the Shark Pet works. Also check out our Grow a Garden Codes for more rewards!

What Does the Shark Pet Do?

The Shark Pet can eat one of your mutated pets and transfer its mutation to another pet. After the transfer:

• The sacrificed pet is deleted.
• The selected pet receives the mutation.
• The original pet cannot be recovered.

Because of this, you should only sacrifice pets you don’t mind losing.

How to Use the Shark Pet

To use the Shark Pet:

1. Equip the Shark Pet.
2. Choose a mutated pet you want to sacrifice.
3. Select the pet that will receive the mutation.
4. Wait for the Shark’s ability to activate.

If everything works correctly, the mutation will move to the new pet while the old one disappears. The Shark only works with pets that are at least Age 100. If your sacrifice pet hasn’t reached Age 100 yet, you’ll need to level it up before the Shark can use its ability.

What Mutations Can Be Transferred?

Testing confirms that the Shark can transfer rare mutations like Peppermint to another pet. This makes it useful for moving valuable mutations onto stronger or rarer pets instead of farming them again. The Shark is powerful, but it’s also risky.

If you accidentally leave a valuable mutated pet in your garden, there’s a chance it could be the one that gets eaten. Since the pet is permanently deleted, always double-check your setup before using the Shark.

Is the Shark Pet Worth It?

Yes, if you have duplicate mutated pets or want to move a rare mutation onto one of your best companions. However, because sacrificed pets are gone forever, it’s best to use the Shark only after making sure you’ve selected the correct pets.

The Shark Pet is a high-risk, high-reward companion in Grow a Garden. It lets you transfer rare mutations like Peppermint between pets, making it easier to build stronger companions. Just remember that the sacrificed pet is permanently deleted, so always check your pets carefully before activating the Shark’s ability.
