Toucan is one of the most powerful and reliable support pets in Grow a Garden, especially for players who focus on farming tropical crops. With a passive area-based effect that enhances both size and mutation rate, Toucan has become a must-have during the Summer Update, particularly for those aiming to maximize profits from Avocado, Pineapple, and other tropical plants.
What is Toucan in Grow a Garden?
Toucan is a Legendary pet obtainable from the Rare Summer Egg, introduced during the Summer Harvest Event. Unlike other pets with cooldowns or chance-based mechanics, Toucan’s effect is passive and always active—as long as the pet is present in your garden.
Rarity: Legendary
Source: Rare Summer Egg
Drop Rate: 25%
Effect:
+1.6x fruit size boost
+1.1x mutation (variant) chance
Applies to all tropical plants within 25 studs radius
These bonuses make it one of the most versatile and effective pets for improving both yield and crop quality.
How to Get Toucan in Grow a Garden
1. Open Rare Summer Eggs
Toucan can only be obtained from the Rare Summer Egg, which costs:
25,000,000 Sheckles
Or 89 Robux from the Pet Egg Stand (NPC: Raphael)
Egg availability is on rotation, with a 17% spawn rate in the shop every 30 minutes. Toucan has a 25% drop chance once the egg is opened.
2. Earn Rare Summer Eggs from the Event
You can also get Rare Summer Eggs from the Summer Harvest Event by donating summer crops like Green Apple or Banana to the community cart. The drop rate for Rare Summer Eggs from the event is 6.66%, and increases with better server contribution tiers.
Tip: To farm Rare Eggs from the event, aim for high-rarity donations like Loquat or Rosy Delight.
What Does Toucan Do?
Toucan’s strength lies in its continuous passive effect:
+1.6x fruit size: Bigger fruits mean higher base sell values, which is great for maximizing Sheckles.
+1.1x mutation chance: Improves your odds of getting variant crops—these often sell for more or trigger special visual effects.
Applies to all tropical plants, including:
Avocado
Pineapple
Kiwi
Prickly Pear
Feijoa
Because the effect is radius-based (25 studs) and passive, you don’t need to activate anything. Just place the Toucan on your plot and let it support nearby crops automatically.
Best Farming Strategy with Toucan
Here’s how to make the most of this pet:
Positioning
Place Toucan in central plots surrounded by tropical plants for maximum coverage.
Consider multiple tropical plots for rotation with Sprinkler support.
Synergize with Other Pets
Pair Toucan with Flamingo (16x growth boost every 4 minutes) to accelerate harvest speed.
Combine with Raccoon for free bonus fruits or Dragonfly for mutation-related tools.
Use During Mutation Events
During Heatwave or Alien Invasion, use Toucan to stack mutation chances on tropical plants and yield even more valuable fruit.
Larger fruit + variant + mutation = triple value multiplier in some scenarios.
Is Toucan Worth It?
Absolutely—Toucan is often considered the best pet in the Rare Summer Egg tier, thanks to:
Consistent passive income support
No cooldowns or conditions to activate
Works at all times and in any weather
Boosts both profit (size) and long-term gain (mutations)
It may not directly give Sheckles or XP, but Toucan significantly amplifies the value of your crop output, especially when farming tropical variants at scale.
Final Thoughts
Toucan is a legendary pet with unmatched farming efficiency in Grow a Garden, especially for tropical-focused players. Its passive 1.6x size boost and 1.1x mutation chance make it ideal for maximizing profit on crops like Avocado and Pineapple. With a 25% drop rate from Rare Summer Eggs, it’s relatively easier to obtain than other legendary pets but delivers outsized impact. Whether you’re farming for looks, profit, or event points, Toucan is a solid companion to elevate your garden’s output.
