Choosing a pet in Ride A Pet! should not be based only on how rare or cool it looks. Each pet has different base stats for speed, jump, and income, while also having different hatch chances. This ranking puts 30 pets from the weakest to the strongest based on their actual stats. If you are still using an early-game pet, the goal should be to keep upgrading your speed and income instead of spending too many resources on something you will replace shortly.

D Tier Pets

30. Snail

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 2
  • Base Speed: 15
  • Base Jump: 78
  • Base Income: 3%
  • Weight: 10 kg

Snail is one of the weakest pets in the game. Its hatch chance is extremely high, but its stats are not impressive. It can work during your first few minutes, but you should replace it as soon as you find something faster.

29. Turtle

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 5
  • Base Speed: 50
  • Base Jump: 80%
  • Base Income: 5%

Turtle is an improvement over Snail, but it is still mainly an early-game pet. Its speed and income are too low to keep for long.

28. Sloth

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 20
  • Base Speed: 90
  • Base Jump: 77
  • Base Income: 7%

Sloth has slightly better speed than Turtle, but it still does not offer enough to compete with the stronger pets. It is another temporary option while progressing through the early game.

27. Axolotl

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 30
  • Base Speed: 165
  • Base Jump: 81%
  • Base Income: 9%

Axolotl is where movement starts to feel a little better. However, its income is still low, so you should continue looking for the next upgrade.

26. Koala

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 50
  • Base Speed: 300
  • Base Jump: 95%
  • Base Income: 5%

Koala has a much better speed and jump stat, but its income is actually lower than Axolotl. It is useful for movement but weak when it comes to earning money.

C Tier Pets

25. Capybara

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 100
  • Base Speed: 407
  • Base Jump: 89
  • Base Income: 20%

Capybara is one of the first pets that feels like a real progression upgrade. Its stats are still fairly low, but it is much more useful than the previous pets.

24. Chicken

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 150
  • Base Speed: 553
  • Base Jump: 92%
  • Base Income: 25%

Chicken is a straightforward upgrade from Capybara. It provides better speed, jump, and income, making it a solid beginner pet.

23. Pig

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 200
  • Base Speed: 750
  • Base Jump: 90%
  • Base Income: 30%

Pig gives you another noticeable improvement in movement speed. It is still an early-game pet, but traveling around the map becomes much quicker with it.

22. Elephant

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 300
  • Base Speed: 1,020
  • Base Jump: 75%
  • Base Income: 35%

Elephant is the first pet on this list to pass 1,000 base speed. Its jump is not great, but the extra speed makes a noticeable difference during progression.

21. Panda

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 1,000
  • Base Speed: 1,380
  • Base Jump: 87
  • Base Income: 50%

Panda is a strong early-game upgrade. Its speed and income are both much better than the previous pets, making it one of the first pets that feels genuinely useful.

B Tier Pets

20. Deer

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 9,000
  • Base Speed: 3,225
  • Base Jump: 111
  • Base Income: 150

Deer provides a huge improvement over Panda. Its speed is more than twice as high, while its income is also much better. Overall, it is a very balanced pet for early to midgame progression.

19. Kangaroo

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 3,000
  • Base Speed: 3,050
  • Base Jump: 125
  • Base Income: 120

Kangaroo is slightly slower than Deer and also produces less income, but its 125 jump stat makes it excellent for movement. If you care about mobility, Kangaroo is worth considering.

18. Crocodile

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 75,000
  • Base Speed: 3,940
  • Base Jump: 98%
  • Base Income: 170

Crocodile is a reliable progression pet. It improves both speed and income without having a major weakness. It is a good option while working toward the stronger midgame pets.

17. Gorilla

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 150,000
  • Base Speed: 4,480
  • Base Jump: 99%
  • Base Income: 200

Gorilla continues the steady progression curve. It has better speed and income than Crocodile while keeping a decent jump stat.

16. Snake

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 180,000
  • Base Speed: 4,780
  • Base Jump: 93%
  • Base Income: 240

Snake is another clear upgrade. Its jump is slightly lower than Gorilla, but the additional speed and income make it better overall for progression.

15. Spider

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 25
  • Base Speed: 3,669
  • Base Jump: 129
  • Base Income: 160

Spider is an unusual pet because its speed and income are not particularly impressive compared to the other pets around this rank. However, its 129 base jump is extremely useful.

Spider has a higher jump stat than Horse, Wolf, Shark, Lion, and Cheetah. Because of that, it can be a surprisingly good mobility pet.

14. Horse

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 500,000
  • Base Speed: 5,340
  • Base Jump: 108
  • Base Income: 350

Horse is a reliable midgame pet with no major weakness. Its speed, jump, and income are all good enough to make it a useful upgrade.

13. Wolf

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 700,000
  • Base Speed: 5,710
  • Base Jump: 102
  • Base Income: 375

Wolf improves on Horse in the stats that matter most for progression. It is faster and provides more income, although its jump is slightly lower.

12. Shark

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 1 million
  • Base Speed: 6,100
  • Base Jump: 114
  • Base Income: 400

Shark is the first pet on the list with a 1 in 1 million hatch chance. Its stats are also nicely balanced, giving you good speed, jump, and income.

11. Ostrich

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 1.5 million
  • Base Speed: 6,966
  • Base Jump: 86
  • Base Income: 750

Ostrich has excellent speed and income for this stage of the game. Its main weakness is the low 86 jump, which makes movement less comfortable compared to some other pets.

B+ Tier Pets

10. Lion

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 1.2 million
  • Base Speed: 6,520
  • Base Jump: 120
  • Base Income: 510

Lion is slightly slower than Ostrich and also earns less income, but its 120 jump makes it much better for overall movement. For a balanced build, Lion is arguably the better choice.

9. Fox

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 21 million
  • Base Speed: 19,500
  • Base Jump: 105
  • Base Income: 1,200

Fox is where the speed progression starts becoming much more noticeable. Its base speed is dramatically higher than Lion, while its income also receives a major boost.

A Tier Pets

8. Giraffe

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 300 million
  • Base Speed: 27,400
  • Base Jump: 83%
  • Base Income: 2,200

7. Cheetah

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 7 billion
  • Base Speed: 38,400
  • Base Jump: 117
  • Base Income: 3,500

Cheetah finally lives up to its name. Its speed is extremely high compared to the earlier pets, while its jump and income are also strong. It is one of the best pets before reaching the true endgame options.

6. Unicorn

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 1 trillion
  • Base Speed: 137,000
  • Base Jump: 135
  • Base Income: 30,000

5. T-Rex

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 10 trillion
  • Base Speed: 266,000
  • Base Jump: 100
  • Base Income: 50,000

T-Rex is a major upgrade over Unicorn for actual progression. It has almost twice the speed and much higher income. Unicorn only has the advantage when it comes to jump.

S Tier Pets

4. Phoenix

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 30 trillion
  • Base Speed: 1,000,000
  • Base Jump: 146
  • Base Income: 100,000

Phoenix marks the beginning of the true endgame pets. Its 1 million base speed is nearly four times higher than T-Rex, while its 146 jump is also one of the highest on the list.

3. Cerberus

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 70 quadrillion
  • Base Speed: 100,000,000
  • Base Jump: 143%
  • Base Income: 30,000,000

Cerberus completely changes the numbers. Phoenix has 1 million speed, while Cerberus reaches 100 million.

That means Cerberus is 100 times faster than Phoenix. Its 30 million income is also an enormous improvement, making it one of the most powerful pets available.

2. Dragon

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 5 quintillion
  • Base Speed: 300,000,000
  • Base Jump: 150
  • Base Income: 300,000,000

Dragon is the best pet on this list if your main goal is making money. Its 300 million base income is the highest among the ranked pets.

It is also incredibly fast, with 300 million base speed and a 150 jump. However, there is still one pet that beats it for overall riding performance.

1. Kitsune

  • Hatch Chance: 1 in 1 quintillion
  • Base Speed: 1,000,000,000
  • Base Jump: 170
  • Base Income: 90,000,000

Kitsune takes the number one spot for overall performance. Its 1 billion base speed is more than three times Dragon’s speed, while its 170 jump is also the highest on the list.

Dragon remains better for pure income, but Kitsune is the better choice if you want the best combination of speed, mobility, and progression.

Best Pets for Different Goals

The best pet depends on what you want to improve in Ride A Pet!

  • Best Overall: Kitsune
  • Best for Income: Dragon
  • Best for Speed: Kitsune
  • Best for Jump: Kitsune

Should You Spend Mutations on Early Pets?

It is usually better not to waste too many mutation resources on pets that you will replace quickly. If you are still using Snail, Turtle, Sloth, or another early-game pet, focus on progressing to better eggs and faster pets first. Improving your route and movement can help you reach stronger pets much faster. Once you reach pets such as Unicorn, T-Rex, Phoenix, Cerberus, Dragon, or Kitsune, investing more resources makes much more sense because these pets can remain useful for much longer.

The rarity of a pet does not automatically make it the best choice in Ride A Pet!. Looking at the actual speed, jump, and income stats gives you a much better idea of which pets are worth using. Kitsune is the best overall pet thanks to its incredible 1 billion speed and 170 jump. Dragon takes the top spot for income with 300 million base income.

For newer players, focus on getting faster upgrades rather than spending too many resources on pets that you will replace soon. Keep improving your route, reach better eggs, and save your resources for pets that are strong enough to stay with you for a long time.
