What is Butterfly Pet?

Butterfly is a Mythical rarity pet with a 1% chance of hatching from Anti Bee Eggs in Grow A Garden. This elegant pet possesses a unique and powerful ability to transform existing mutations into Rainbow Mutations with a 50x value multiplier, making it one of the most strategically important pets in the game.

What Makes Butterfly Special

  • Mutation Conversion: Transforms any existing mutation into Rainbow (50x)
  • Strategic Targeting: Only affects crops that already have mutations
  • Safety Feature: Completely ignores crops marked as "favorited"
  • High Value Potential: 50x multiplier rivals some of the best mutations
  • Calculated Risks: Allows strategic gambling with lower-value mutations

Strategic Usage Guide

✅ Ideal Target: Low-Value Mutation Upgrades

Transform disappointing mutations (2x, 3x multipliers) into valuable 50x Rainbow effects

Risk: Low - you're improving poor mutations | Examples: Basic mutations on Ember Lily or Lumira

✅ Ideal Target: High-Base-Value Crops

Focus on expensive plants where 50x multiplier creates maximum profit

Calculation: 50x on 75,000 Sheckle crop = 3,750,000 Sheckles | Priority: Ember Lily, Lumira, Purple Dahlia

❌ Avoid: High-Value Existing Mutations

Never risk Disco Mutations (125x) or valuable Gold Mutations (20x)

Protect: Always favorite Disco mutations as they're superior to Rainbow | Research: Verify mutation values before conversion

Favorite System Mastery

The Favorite System is your primary protection mechanism when using Butterfly pets.

How Favorites Work

  • Complete Protection: 100% immunity to Butterfly conversion
  • Easy Toggle: Click heart icon to favorite/unfavorite
  • Visual Indicator: Clear heart symbol on crops
  • No Limits: Favorite as many crops as needed

Strategic Favoriting

  • Always Protect: Disco Mutations (125x)
  • Usually Protect: Gold Mutations (20x) on expensive crops
  • Consider: Heavenly Mutations if stacked
  • Target Management: Unfavorite conversion targets

⚠️ Common Favoriting Mistakes

Forgetting to Favorite

Mistake: Getting valuable mutation then forgetting protection
Solution: Immediately favorite any valuable mutation discovered

Over-Favoriting Targets

Mistake: Favoriting crops you want converted
Solution: Double-check favorites before activating Butterfly

Risk Management

Butterfly pets carry inherent risks that require careful management strategies.

Risk Assessment Framework

1. Mutation Value Analysis
  • • Calculate exact Sheckles from existing mutations
  • • Calculate 50x Rainbow multiplier potential
  • • Only convert if Rainbow value exceeds current value
  • • Use community calculators for complex stacks
2. Graduated Exposure Strategy
  • • Start with low-value targets to learn behavior
  • • Gradually expose more valuable targets
  • • Maintain backup valuable crops
  • • Don't risk all mutations at once

🚨 Emergency Protocols

Accidental Conversion
  • • Accept outcome - Rainbow is still valuable (50x)
  • • Learn from mistakes for future prevention
  • • Adjust favoriting and targeting approach
Pet Management
  • • Store Butterfly when not actively using
  • • Use other pets for routine maintenance
  • • Only deploy in carefully prepared gardens
