The Jandel Monkey is one of the rarest pets available in Grow a Garden 2 (GAG 2). Added as part of the Admin Party event, this exclusive pet has an incredibly low drop rate and comes with a unique ability that can trigger weather events for the entire server. Because of its rarity and useful passive effect, many players consider the Jandel Monkey one of the most desirable pets currently available in the game. Here’s everything you need to know about obtaining the Jandel Monkey and how its ability works.
What Is the Jandel Monkey?
Jandel Monkey is a special event pet that can only be obtained through the Admin Chest during the Admin Party event. Unlike many other pets that focus on crop bonuses or resource generation, the Jandel Monkey stands out because it can periodically summon weather events that affect every player on the server. Its unique animation also makes it one of the most visually distinctive pets in Grow a Garden 2, as it swings around your garden while active.
How to Get Jandel Monkey
The only known way to obtain the Jandel Monkey is through the Admin Chest reward pool. To get one, you’ll need to:
- Participate in the Admin Party event.
- Earn Party Points during the event.
- Reach 600 Party Points.
- Claim the Admin Chest reward.
- Open the Admin Chest and hope for the Jandel Monkey drop.
Since the pet is not sold in shops and cannot currently be earned through regular gameplay, the Admin Chest is your only source.
Jandel Monkey Drop Rate
The Jandel Monkey is by far the rarest item inside the Admin Chest. Its drop chance is:
- Jandel Monkey — 0.02%
- Approximately 1 in 5,000 chests
This means most players will need considerable luck before obtaining one.
For comparison, other Admin Chest rewards have significantly higher drop rates:
- Mega Egg — 0.8%
- Rainbow Egg — 1.4%
- Big Egg — 17%
- Super Watering Can — 35%
- Legendary Sprinkler — 45.8%
Jandel Monkey Ability Explained
The Jandel Monkey comes with a powerful passive ability that periodically creates weather events for the entire server. Its ability works as follows:
- Swings around your garden.
- Periodically summons a random weather event.
- The weather affects all players on the server.
- Summoned weather is subject to a 10-minute cooldown.
This makes the pet valuable not only for its rarity but also because it can help trigger beneficial weather conditions that may improve farming opportunities for everyone playing.
Ability Cooldown
The frequency of weather summons depends on the size of your Jandel Monkey.
Normal Jandel Monkey:
- Summons weather every 15 minutes.
Big Jandel Monkey:
- Summons weather every 12 minutes.
Mega Jandel Monkey:
- Summons weather every 9 minutes.
Even if the cooldown reaches these intervals, the summoned weather must still respect the pet’s built-in 10-minute weather cooldown restriction. As a result, larger versions of the pet can provide more frequent opportunities for server-wide weather effects.
Best Way to Farm for Jandel Monkey
Since the Admin Chest is the only source of the pet, your goal should be maximizing the number of chests you earn. Some useful strategies include:
- Join every Admin Party event.
- Collect all Party Hats and gift boxes.
- Participate in every minigame.
- Aim for high placements whenever possible.
- Reach the 600 Party Point milestone each event.
- Open every Admin Chest you earn.
Although the odds remain extremely low, consistent participation gives you the best chance of eventually obtaining the pet.
When Is the Admin Party Available?
The Admin Party takes place approximately 30 minutes before major Grow a Garden 2 updates. The event lasts around 30 minutes and gives players enough time to earn Party Points toward the Admin Chest reward track. Keeping track of update announcements is essential if you’re actively hunting for a Jandel Monkey.
The Jandel Monkey is one of the most exclusive pets in Grow a Garden 2. Available only through the Admin Chest, it boasts a tiny 1-in-5,000 drop rate and offers a unique passive ability that periodically summons random weather events for everyone on the server.
Whether you’re interested in its rare status, collectible value, or useful weather-summoning ability, the Jandel Monkey remains one of the most coveted rewards from the Admin Party event. If you’re determined to add one to your collection, participating in every Admin Party and earning as many Admin Chests as possible is currently your best strategy.
