How Pets Work in Grow a Garden 2
1. Spawn System: Pets do not come from a shop. They randomly spawn in the central lobby with a visible countdown timer. You have limited time to buy them before they despawn.
2. Bidding Wars: If another player buys a pet first, you can contest it by paying double the base price. This creates fierce bidding wars for rare pets like the Unicorn and Ice Serpent.
3. Escort to Garden: After purchase, you must walk the pet to your garden. During this escort, other players can still steal it — move fast.
4. Pet Slots: Start with 3 slots. Slot 4 costs 200,000 Sheckles. Slot 5 costs 1,000,000 Sheckles. Max 5 equipped at once.

How to Get Pets
1. Pets spawn randomly in the lobby. There is no pet shop. Each spawn has a visible countdown timer — buy before it expires or the pet despawns.
2. Other players can outbid you. If someone else buys the pet first, you can contest it by paying double the base price. This creates bidding wars for rare pets.
3. Escort the pet to your garden. After purchase, you must physically walk the pet back to your garden. During this walk, other players can still steal it.
4. Pet slots are limited. You start with 3 slots. Slot 4 costs 200,000 Sheckles. Slot 5 costs 1,000,000 Sheckles. Max: 5 equipped pets.
5. Higher rarity = lower spawn chance. Legendary and Mythic pets trigger a server-wide alert when they spawn, so expect competition.
