At-a-glance details

• Pet name: Firefly (Free Track)
• Rarity / Tier: Mythical / secret tier (not in normal egg pools)
• Passive / Ability: Has a periodic chance to apply the Shocked mutation to nearby crops (chance and cooldown are low and long respectively).
• Passive mechanics (summary): Approximately one effect every ~80 seconds with a small percentage chance (~3%) to Shock a nearby crop—this means the effect is an occasional, high-value mutation rather than a fast, repeatable buff.
• Hunger: 25,000 (listed as the hunger value)
• Obtainability: Not obtainable through standard gameplay; historically distributed via commands during test sessions and not included in public egg pools or shops.

What the Firefly passive does and gameplay use

The Firefly's key value comes from granting the Shocked mutation occasionally to nearby crops. Shocked mutations typically increase crop value substantially; therefore, the Firefly is considered valuable in theory because it can turn ordinary crops into much higher-value versions when the passive triggers. However, because the trigger probability is low and its cooldown is long, Firefly functions as a supplemental prestige effect rather than a core repeatable farming booster.

Practical gameplay implications and best uses:

• Use Firefly to passively increase the chance that crops near your character receive the Shocked mutation over long play sessions.
• The pet is best paired with high-value crops or automated harvesting setups so that rare Shocked crops are converted into significant currency gains when they appear.
• Because the effect is intermittent, do not rely on Firefly alone for consistent multiplier farming—treat it as an occasional high-value bonus that compounds existing farming strategies.

Release, distribution, and availability

The Firefly was not part of the game’s public egg pools or regular shop offers. It was distributed via developer/tester commands during private test sessions, which is why it is classified as a secret or mythical pet. As a result, general players cannot obtain it in standard gameplay unless developers reintroduce it in a future event or giveaway.

Short Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is Firefly available in normal gameplay?

No — Firefly is not currently obtainable through eggs or shops in the public version of the game.

How rare is Firefly?

It is considered mythical/secret rarity because it was not placed in public acquisition methods and was distributed only to testers via commands.

Does Firefly stack with other pet effects?

Pet effects in Grow a Garden generally stack. If multiple pets can provide the same mutation chance or complementary bonuses, those effects combine subject to the game’s stacking rules.

Can I get Firefly via a Free Track now?

There is no confirmed Free Track or public path to obtain Firefly at this time. If developers run future test sessions, events, or giveaways, they could reissue the pet, but there is no public guarantee.

Is the Shocked mutation powerful?

Yes. Shocked is typically a high-value mutation that increases crop worth significantly, which is why Firefly is rated highly in theoretical pet tier lists despite its low trigger chance.
