This Grow a Garden Butterfly guide gives you my thoughts on this unique pet and its buff, detailing its obtainment and how best to utilise its passive ability.
Start playing Grow a Garden on Roblox. For more on Anti-Bee Pets, check out my guide to the rarest of them all, the Disco Bee!
Grow a Garden Butterfly Obtainment
The Butterfly is the second rarest pet found inside the Anti Bee Egg, with only a 1% hatch chance. Each player only has 5 chances to obtain an Anti Bee Egg by completing the Bear Questline found at the centre of the map beside the Queen Bee.
In short, the Bear requests either Pollinated or Honeyglazed crops with minimum weight requirements in exchange for rewards.
Butterfly Ability – Is It Good?
Every 30 minutes, the Butterfly flies to a nearby crop with 5+ mutations, wipes them, and replaces them with Rainbow, except for favourite plants.
This is quite a drastic change for a fruit to experience, given that any 5 mutations are likely more valuable than just Rainbow alone. So, is the Butterfly good?
Yes, if you don’t harvest your garden often. If you let the Butterfly work and reform plants, you’ll have a foundation of high-value crops that only get more valuable during each weather event. When a plant first begins to grow, it will grow in Normal, Gold, or Rainbow. Rainbow is the rarest and most valuable at a 0.1% chance for x50 value.
To get an idea of what I mean, I recommend having a read of my What’s the most mutations a fruit can have in Grow a Garden. That guide breaks down the maths, and in short, it all relies on a plant being Rainbow when it first grows!
