Best Cooldown Pets In Grow A Garden And How To Use Them (Ranked)

Now that we have seen all the pets that reduce cooldowns, let's rank the best ones in Grow a Garden and learn how to use them. This will make it easier to identify which pets to focus on and how to maximize their abilities.

5. Wasp And Peach Wasp

Ranked number 5 on the best cooldown pets list are Wasp and Peach Wasp. Both have similar abilities since they apply a mutation and also reduce cooldown. Peach Wasp gives a more valuable mutation, but since we are only looking at cooldown reduction, both share the same rank.
The Wasp is currently obtainable from the Anti-Bee Egg or Premium Anti-Bee Egg with a 55% hatch chance. The Peach Wasp was given during the Admin Abuse War event and can now only be obtained through trading or buying.
Every 10 minutes, these pets sting a random pet and reduce its ability cooldown by 1 minute. Pair them with pets that grant strong mutations, or with pets like T-Rex or Dilophosaurus that have powerful abilities, to increase the number of mutations you get and to make pets use their abilities more often.

4. Peacock

At number 4, we have the Peacock. You can get it from a Paradise Egg with a 30% hatch chance. Its ability is called Utter Beauty. Every 10 minutes, the Peacock fans its feathers and reduces the ability cooldown of all nearby pets by 60 seconds.
If you want to reduce the cooldown of multiple pets at the same time, the Peacock is a great choice. It works best in smaller gardens, where pets are closer together. In an expanded garden, it may not be as effective since pets are more spread out. Pair multiple Peacocks with pets that have strong abilities to make the most out of them.

3. Tarantula Hawk

If you want a pet like the Wasp that reduces cooldown for sure, but does it more often and with a stronger effect, then the Tarantula Hawk is the one to choose. You can get it from the Anti-Bee Egg or Premium Anti-Bee Egg with a 30% hatch chance.
Its ability is similar to the Wasp's, but instead of every 10 minutes, the Tarantula Hawk stings a random pet every 5 minutes and reduces its cooldown by 80 seconds. Use it in the same way as the Wasp or Peach Wasp. With faster triggers and higher cooldown reduction, the Tarantula Hawk is simply a better version of the Wasp.

2. Dilophosaurus

The Dilophosaurus is the perfect pet to reduce the cooldown of multiple pets, and unlike the Peacock, it never misses its ability, no matter how far the pets are. You can get the Dilophosaurus from a Primal Egg or Premium Primal Egg with a 3% hatch chance. Since these eggs are currently not obtainable, the only way to get this pet now is through trading, or, even better, buy it from U7BUYto get it instantly at the lowest price.
Every 13 minutes and 53 seconds, the Dilophosaurus spits venom that spreads to 3 (up to 5) pets. This either reduces their cooldown or increases their XP. When you use multiple Dilophosaurus, they work together by reducing each other's cooldowns and granting XP to each other, which creates the highest efficiency.
Use as many Dilophosaurus as possible and pair them with pets that have strong abilities. Along with cooldown reduction, your pets will also start leveling up quickly, which in turn increases the strength of their abilities. It's a win-win situation.

1. Queen Bee

Finally, the best pet for reducing cooldown in Grow a Garden is the Queen Bee. You can obtain it from the Bee Egg with just a 1% hatch chance. Instead of simply reducing cooldown like the other pets on this list, the Queen Bee completely refreshes an ability, making it unique.
Every 23 minutes, the pet with the highest cooldown will have its ability refreshed as long as a Queen Bee is active in the garden. This does not work on pet mutation abilities or on the French Fry Ferret.
The Queen Bee is often paired with a T-Rex to spread mutations more often. You can also pair it with other pets that have strong abilities, especially those with long cooldowns. When using it with multiple pets, make sure no other pet has a higher cooldown than the one you want the Queen Bee to target.

Special Mention: Griffin

Special Mention goes to the Griffin, which is a Divine pet added in the Beanstalk Event. Every 15 minutes, the Griffin flaunts its wings and releases a Cyclone. Any pet hit by the Cyclone will have its cooldown reduced by 60 seconds, and any fruit caught in it has a 10% chance to get the Cyclonic mutation. This pet is great for getting valuable mutations like Cyclonic (x50 multiplier) and Maelstrom (x100 multiplier).
That brings us to the end of our article. Don't forget to use Small Toy or Medium Toy to boost your pet's ability and make them more efficient in the garden, especially when using cooldown pets.
