If you’ve been spending time in Grow a Garden, you already know pets aren’t just for looks. Some of them can actually change the way you play. One of the most talked-about pets from the Seed Stage update is the Chimpanzee, a Mythical pet that comes from the Jungle Egg. It’s rare, a little tricky to get, and it has one of the handiest traits in the whole game.
Let’s break down what makes this pet worth chasing, how you can get your hands on it, and why so many players are grinding for it.
How to Hatch a Chimpanzee
There’s only one way to unlock the Chimpanzee, and that’s through the Jungle Egg. The catch? The chance of hatching it is just 5%. Yep, one in twenty.
So where do you even get Jungle Eggs? Right now, the main method is by progressing through seed stages during events. As you climb through the stages, you’ll start unlocking better rewards, and Jungle Eggs are part of those rewards. The more you play and level up your stages, the more eggs you’ll gather over time.
It’s a bit of a grind, but that’s part of the charm. You can’t buy your way around it, so patience and steady gameplay are your best bet.
Chimpanzee Traits
Here’s a quick rundown of the Chimpanzee’s details:
- Tier: Mythical
- From: Jungle Egg
- Hatch Rate: 5%
- Trait: Sells crops automatically
Now, the best part: this pet doesn’t just sit around following you. Its special trait lets it walk up to the Sell Stall and sell your crops. That means you can keep farming without needing to constantly break your rhythm to cash in. Even better, the pet keeps working while you’re busy with other things in the game.
There is a slight drawback – around 2.38% of crops won’t be collected – but honestly, that’s a tiny price to pay for the convenience.
Why It’s Worth the Effort
Sure, the low hatch rate might scare some players away, but the Chimpanzee is more than just another Mythical pet. Think of it like having an auto-seller built right into your lineup. Over time, it saves you a ton of clicks and makes farming way more efficient.
For collectors, it’s a must-have just for rarity. But even if you’re not aiming to catch ’em all, this is one of those pets that actually pays off in the long run. Instead of being stuck in the sell-farm-sell loop, you can let the Chimpanzee handle part of the workload while you focus on planting or exploring.
Tips to Boost Your Chances
The odds aren’t in your favor, but you can make the grind feel less painful with a few tricks:
- Keep up with events – Most Jungle Eggs come from event progression. The more you play, the more chances you’ll stack up.
- Don’t waste seeds – Plan your planting so you get the most out of each stage. Efficiency matters here.
- Play the long game – Since the eggs are tied to rewards, it’s more about consistency than rushing.
- Watch the community – Sometimes trading becomes an option in these games. If it opens up, you might be able to grab a Jungle Egg or even a Chimpanzee through deals.
Final Thoughts
The Chimpanzee is one of those pets that feels like a real upgrade instead of just a collectible. With its ability to automatically sell crops, it takes away one of the most repetitive parts of the game and frees you up to enjoy everything else.
It might take a while to hatch one with just a 5% chance, but if you stick with it, the reward is well worth the grind. Whether you’re a collector chasing every pet or a farmer looking for efficiency, the Chimpanzee is easily one of the most valuable companions in Grow a Garden.
Good luck hatching yours, and don’t give up after the first few Jungle Eggs. Your chimp is out there waiting.
FAQ
Q. How do I get the Chimpanzee in Grow a Garden?
You’ll need to hatch it from a Jungle Egg. The tricky part is the odds – only a 5% chance—so expect to go through a few eggs before you land one. Jungle Eggs mostly come from pushing through seed stages in events.
Q. What does the Chimpanzee actually do?
Its big perk is selling crops for you at the Sell Stall. That means less running back and forth and more time to just focus on planting or other parts of the game.
Q. Is the Chimpanzee rare?
Definitely. With such a low hatch rate, it’s considered Mythical. Most players won’t get it on their first try, which is why it feels special when you finally do.
Q. Does it keep working if I’m not logged in?
It looks like the Chimpanzee keeps selling crops even while you’re not around, though there’s a small chance a crop won’t get collected. Still, it’s a big help overall.
Q. Why should I go for this pet over others?
Simple, it saves time. Instead of babysitting your crops, the Chimp does some of the boring work for you. That makes it one of the more useful pets in the game, not just another collectible.
