What new seeds and pets in Corrupted Event

The Corrupted Event in Grow a Garden on Roblox introduced several new seeds and pets tied to its Zen-themed storyline, available mainly through event quests, Kitsune Boxes, the Corrupt Channeler NPC, and Zen Shop purchases.

New Seeds

These seeds feature unique stats optimized for event mutations like Corrupt and Tranquil, with values around 77,000-81,000 Sheckles in many cases.

Enaku (or Enkaku): Obtained from Corrupt Channeler NPC; strong for multiple growths.
Tranquil Bloom: Rare drop (1% chance) from Kitsune Box; high-value Zen-type plant.
Elder Strawberry: Available in Seed Shop; prismatic variant with moderate appeal.
Sakura Bush: New plant with event-specific stats for mutations.
Lucky Bamboo: 14.5% chance from Kitsune rewards; reliable grower.
Fruitball: Tied to Travis Kelce admin event; limited availability.

New Pets

Six new pets were added, each with abilities like mutation application, duplication, or value boosts-prioritize duplication types (e.g., Manaki-Neko) for farming.

Pet	Source	Key Ability
Corrupted Kitsune	Kitsune Box (1% chance)	Applies Corrupt Chakra to 9 fruits every ~20 min; rare Foxfire variant.
Manaki-Neko (or Manaki Nico)	Kitsune rewards (34.5%)	Duplicates fruits post-sale for high farming returns.
Kodama	Kitsune Box/Zen Shop (14.5%)	4-4.64% chance for Tranquil mutation on Zen fruits.
Corrupted Kodama	Corrupt Channeler (4.35%)	4.64% chance for Corrupt mutation on Zen fruits.
Raiju	Zen Shop	Devours Shocked fruits for 1.5x value; chain lightning in storms.
Divine Pet Rau	Event rewards	Devours fruit for bonuses; mutates during storms.

Pets like Corrupted Kitsune and Raiju stand out for mutation synergy, while tools like Corrupted Pet Shard enhance them further.

Which pets have the best mutation abilities for farming

Pets with the top mutation abilities for farming focus on high-value multipliers, fast application rates, and garden-wide spread, especially effective for Corrupted Event crops like Zen fruits or those needing Corrupt/Tranquil mutations.

Best for Mutation Farming

These stand out for reliable, high-multiplier mutations that boost Sheckles from sales.

Disco Bee/Queen Bee: Applies 125x sell value boosts every 20 minutes or 3x Pollinated mutations frequently; pairs well with cooldown refreshers for non-stop farming.
Praying Mantis: Fast cooldown for Gold/Rainbow variants with 50x multipliers, ideal for quick stacking on multiple plants.
Butterfly: Replaces weak mutations with 50x buffs on a reliable timer, perfect for upgrading Corrupted Event fruits post-initial mutate.
T-Rex/Phoenix: Spreads random high-tier mutations (e.g., Disco) across the entire garden; Phoenix mutates quickly for cycling with Tigers.
Tiger/White Tiger: Distributes and replaces mutations garden-wide, turning singles into widespread buffs; top for event farming combos.

Corrupted Event Standouts

From the new pets, prioritize these for event-specific synergy.

Pet	Mutation Benefit	Farming Edge
Corrupted Kitsune	Corrupt Chakra on 9 fruits (~20 min)	High-value event mutations for Zen plants; Foxfire variant amplifies.
Corrupted Kodama	4.64% Corrupt on Zen fruits	Consistent for Corrupted farming; pairs with duplication pets.
Tanchozuru	Tranquil mutation nearby	A-tier for balancing Corrupt/Tranquil; boosts event yields.

Combo tip: Pair duplication like Manaki-Neko with mutators (e.g., Phoenix + Tiger) for exponential farming returns during events.
