This guide breaks down the best pets in Pet Simulator X (PSX) for both grinding and battling, based on their in-game stats, abilities, and practical value. Whether you’re a new player looking for a solid starter or a veteran aiming for the ultimate team, this recipe-style guide gives you the exact “ingredients” for a top-tier loadout, plus tips on how to get these pets and avoid common mistakes.
Ingredients
- 1 Dominus (any variant) – The highest tier pet, often obtained from exclusive eggs or trading. Its massive damage output makes it the core of any endgame team.
- 2-3 Huge Pets (e.g., Huge Cat, Huge Dog) – These are special, limited pets with boosted stats and a larger size. They are essential for high-level zones.
- 1-2 Mythical Pets (e.g., Ghoul Horse, Pixel Cat) – The best non-huge pets for mid-game progression. They are easier to obtain than Huges but still powerful.
- 1 Rainbow or Golden variant (any pet) – These have a 1.5x or 2x stat boost over the original, making them great budget options.
- 1-2 Stat Pets (e.g., Dog, Cat) with high levels – These are your “support” pets, providing passive boosts to your team’s damage.
- 1 Lucky Egg (optional) – Increases your chances of hatching a rare pet from eggs.
- 1 Super Drop Boost (optional) – Doubles the coins and diamonds you earn from breakables.
Instructions
- Start with a balanced team: Equip your best pet in the first slot (the one that deals the most damage), and fill the rest with your next best pets. For early game, use any Mythical or Legendary pet you have. For endgame, use 1 Dominus, 2 Huge Pets, and the rest Mythical/Rainbow pets.
- Focus on one pet for leveling: Instead of spreading your XP across all pets, pick one (preferably your Dominus or Huge Pet) and level it up to max (level 99). This maximizes your overall damage output.
- Use Stat Pets wisely: Stat pets like the Dog or Cat give a percentage boost to your team’s damage. Place them in your team after your main damage dealers. A team of 1 Dominus, 1 Huge, and 4 Stat Pets (all level 99) often outperforms a team of 6 random Mythicals.
- Hatch eggs during events: The best pets are usually only available from limited-time eggs during events (like Halloween or Christmas). Save your diamonds and buy these eggs when they appear.
- Trade strategically: If you can’t hatch a Huge or Dominus, trade your duplicated Mythicals and Golden pets for one. Use the Trading Plaza and check the value list (many players use the official PSX values list) to ensure you’re getting a fair deal.
- Equip boosts before grinding: Activate your Lucky Egg and Super Drop Boost before you start breaking coins in the highest zone you can access. This will accelerate your progress.
Tips
- Substitutions: If you don’t have a Dominus, use the best Mythical you have (like the Pixel Cat or Ghoul Horse). If you don’t have a Huge, use a Rainbow Mythical. The team will still be effective, just slightly less powerful.
- Storage: Keep your best pets in your team at all times. Store duplicates in your inventory to trade later. Don’t sell high-tier pets for coins; they are worth far more in trades.
- Common mistake: Don’t ignore Stat Pets. Many players fill their team with 6 damage pets, but a mix of damage and stat pets is mathematically better. Also, don’t waste diamonds on regular eggs when a better egg is coming out soon.
- Check values: Before trading, always check the current value of your pets. Values change with each update, so what was worth a Huge last week might only be worth a Mythical this week.
Serving Suggestions
This “dish” is best served while grinding in the highest unlocked zone, such as the Fantasy World or the Future World. Pair your team with a Super Drops Boost and a Lucky Egg for maximum efficiency. For battles, use your highest damage pet as your “main” and switch to your tankiest pet if you’re fighting a boss.
Variations
- Budget Loadout: 1 Golden Mythical, 2 Rainbow Epics, and 3 Stat Pets (level 99). This is a great team for mid-game players who haven’t gotten a Huge yet.
- Speed Loadout: If you’re farming coins, use pets with high “break” speed (like the Huge Cat) over raw damage. This helps you break objects faster.
- Event Loadout: During events, swap out your regular pets for event-specific ones (like the Ghoul Horse) because they often have boosted stats during that event.
Storage and Reheating
Your pets don’t need to be “stored” in the traditional sense, but you should keep your best ones in your team and your duplicates in your inventory. They don’t spoil, so you can keep them for as long as you want. To “reheat” your progress, just log back in and continue grinding. If you’re taking a break, make sure to claim any daily rewards and check for new codes (like the ones on the official Twitter) to get free boosts and gems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best pet in Pet Simulator X?
As of the latest update, the Dominus (any variant) is the strongest pet, followed by Huge Pets. However, the best pet for you depends on your playstyle and what you can afford. For most players, a team of Mythicals and Stat Pets is sufficient.
Q: How do I get a Huge Pet?
Huge Pets are obtained from limited-time eggs (usually during events) with a very low chance (around 1 in 10,000). You can also trade for them, but they are very expensive. Your best bet is to save up diamonds and buy event eggs when they come out.
Q: Are Stat Pets worth it?
Yes, absolutely. Stat Pets like the Dog and Cat give a percentage boost to your team’s damage. A team with 4 Stat Pets (level 99) and 2 damage pets can out-damage a team of 6 damage pets. They are essential for endgame.
Q: Should I sell my duplicate Mythicals?
No, don’t sell them. Instead, trade them for other pets you need. You can also use them to make a Rainbow or Golden variant, which are stronger. Selling them for coins is a waste because coins are easy to get, but Mythicals are not.
Q: What is the best way to level up pets?
The best way is to use the “Auto Farm” feature in the highest zone you can access. Make sure to activate a Super Drops Boost and a Lucky Egg to increase your earnings and XP. You can also use the “Rebirth” system to get a permanent XP boost.
Q: Can I get banned for trading?
No, trading is a core feature of the game. However, be careful of scams. Always double-check the trade screen before accepting, and never trade your pets for items outside the game (like Robux).
