Kitsune for speed. Dragon for income. Panda to get started.
How this list is built
Every number below is community-reported — drawn from GameBoost’s stat ranking and Beebom’s pet index, cross-checked where the two overlap — not published by the developer. The S/A/B/C/Starter grouping is our editorial summary of that data. The roster stands at 26 documented pets in late September 2026, and values can change with updates.
Speed or income — know which you need
Kitsune is the speed king at a reported 1B base speed with the tallest jump (170), but Dragon earns more than three times as much passive income at 300M — and at 1 in 7Qi it is the harder pull of the two. Phoenix is the realistic milestone: it breaks 1M speed at far shorter odds than anything above it.
The best pets for a new ranch
Among starters, Panda is the income pick at a reported 50%, well ahead of Elephant at 35%. Koala is the climber: its 95 jump beats every other starter, worth mounting on routes that need height. Axolotl squeezes out the best income of the true early pets at 9%.
