The Pets vs Coins event in Pet Simulator 99 introduces a completely different gameplay style compared to previous limited-time events. Instead of breaking objects across the world, you’ll build your own farm where pets automatically destroy coin piles while plants generate passive income.
As you expand your garden, you’ll unlock stronger pets, defeat bosses, rebirth for permanent bonuses, and compete for exclusive leaderboard rewards. If you’re just getting started, this guide explains everything you need to know about the Pets vs Coins event, from farming Sunflower Coins to upgrading your farm efficiently.
How to Join the Pets vs Coins Event
Entering the event is straightforward. Simply:
- Open the main game menu.
- Click the Event button on the left side of the screen.
- Enter the Pets vs Coins event world.
Once inside, you’ll begin with a small garden that can gradually be expanded using the event’s exclusive currency.
How to Farm Sunflower Coins
Sunflower Coins are the primary currency used throughout the Pets vs Coins event. Nearly every important upgrade requires them, making efficient farming your highest priority. There are two main ways to earn Sunflower Coins.
Place Pets in Garden Lanes
The primary source of income comes from assigning pets to your available garden lanes. Here’s how it works:
- Place a pet into an unlocked lane.
- The pet automatically attacks nearby coin piles.
- Destroying coin piles rewards Sunflower Coins.
- Larger coin piles provide bigger payouts.
As your pets become stronger and you unlock additional lanes, your overall coin production increases significantly.
Grow Plants for Passive Income
Across from the pet lanes are farming plots where you can plant seeds. Plants continuously generate Sunflower Coins over time without requiring any interaction, making them an excellent passive income source. Higher-quality plants produce considerably more coins, so improving your seed collection is well worth the effort.
What Are Sunflower Coins Used For?
Sunflower Coins are required for nearly every progression system in the event. Your main priorities should be:
- Unlock additional pet lanes.
- Purchase more farming plots.
- Upgrade pets.
- Improve various systems through the Upgrade Machine.
Investing your coins into more lanes and plots creates a positive cycle, allowing both your active and passive income to grow much faster.
How Rebirth Works
Once you’ve unlocked all available pet lanes and defeated enough bosses, you’ll gain access to the Rebirth feature. Rebirthing provides permanent income bonuses that improve future progression. Before you can rebirth, you’ll need to:
- Unlock all seven pet lanes.
- Defeat the required number of bosses.
The game tracks your boss progress on the right side of the screen, making it easy to know when you’re eligible.
How to Get Better Pets
Your pets determine how quickly coin piles disappear, so upgrading your roster is one of the most important parts of the event.
Hatch Event Eggs
New pets are obtained by opening the event egg located on the central island. Initially, the egg contains basic pets, but its quality can be improved through upgrades.
Upgrade Better Eggs
Visit the Upgrade Machine near the event egg. Inside the machine, you’ll find the Better Eggs upgrade, which increases the quality of pets that hatch from the event egg. Investing in this upgrade early helps you obtain stronger pets much faster.
How to Upgrade Existing Pets
Every pet placed inside a garden lane can also be upgraded individually. Select a deployed pet and spend Sunflower Coins to improve its stats. Important things to remember:
- Each pet can be upgraded up to 10 times.
- Every upgrade costs more than the previous one.
- Removing a pet from its lane resets its purchased upgrades.
Because of this, it’s usually best to avoid replacing upgraded pets unless you’ve obtained a significantly stronger one.
Pet Levels
Besides purchased upgrades, pets also become stronger naturally. While destroying coin piles, pets gain experience and level up automatically. Each new level permanently increases their stats, allowing them to destroy larger coin piles more efficiently. Unlike purchased upgrades, these levels remain even if the pet is moved.
How to Get Better Plants
Plants provide passive income, making them an important part of your overall strategy.
Collect Plant Seeds
Seeds randomly drop whenever your pets destroy coin piles.
Available seed rarities include:
- Basic
- Uncommon
- Rare
- Epic
- Legendary
Higher rarity plants generate much larger amounts of Sunflower Coins.
Upgrade Seed Drop Quality
The Upgrade Machine also contains upgrades that improve your chances of receiving better-quality seeds.
If you plan to rely heavily on farming income, investing in these upgrades is highly recommended.
Buy Seeds from the Farming Merchant
You can also purchase seeds directly from the Farming Merchant.
However, stronger seeds aren’t immediately available.
Instead, you’ll need to increase your Merchant Respect by purchasing items from the shop.
As your reputation improves, the merchant begins selling better seed varieties.
Plant Mutations Explained
Some seeds and fully grown plants can spawn with special mutations.
Possible mutations include:
- Gold
- Rainbow
- Shiny
- Other special variants
Mutated plants produce significantly more passive income than normal versions, although they’re much rarer to obtain.
If you’re lucky enough to collect mutated Legendary plants, they can dramatically boost your Sunflower Coin production.
Boss Battles
As your farm grows stronger and additional lanes are unlocked, special boss encounters begin appearing.
These bosses are much tougher than regular coin piles but offer an important purpose.
Defeating bosses:
- Advances rebirth progress.
- Increases your event leaderboard score.
- Helps qualify for end-of-event rewards.
If you’re aiming for a high leaderboard placement, consistently defeating bosses is essential.
Event Leaderboard Rewards
The Pets vs Coins event features competitive rewards based on leaderboard rankings. Rankings are primarily determined by:
- Total bosses defeated
The highest-ranking players receive exclusive event pets. The grand prize is:
- Rainbow Shiny Titanic Carrot Crocodile
Only the top three players will receive this rare version, making it one of the most difficult rewards in the event. Players finishing within the top 1,000 will still earn lower-tier variants of the exclusive pet. You can monitor your ranking through the leaderboard located near the large tree on the central island, close to the Rebirth area.
Event Duration
The Pets vs Coins event is time-limited. At the end of the event period:
- Final leaderboard rankings are locked.
- Rewards are distributed based on your final placement.
An in-game countdown timer shows exactly how much time remains before the event concludes, so it’s worth checking regularly if you’re competing for leaderboard rewards.
The Pets vs Coins event offers one of the biggest gameplay changes ever introduced in Pet Simulator 99, replacing traditional grinding with a farming and management system centered around pets and plants. By balancing active coin generation through pet lanes with passive income from crops, you’ll steadily unlock stronger upgrades, hatch better pets, defeat more bosses, and climb the event leaderboard. Whether you’re aiming for the exclusive Titanic Carrot Crocodile or simply want to experience everything the event has to offer, building an efficient farm is the key to long-term success.
