The Raiju Pet Grow a Garden is one of the most coveted additions in the Corrupted Event, introducing legendary electric power to your Roblox garden. Inspired by the mythical lightning beast from Japanese folklore, Raiju brings unique storm-based abilities, chain reactions, and lucrative profit opportunities—if you know how to unlock its full potential.
What is the Raiju Pet in Grow a Garden?
Raiju is a legendary pet introduced through the Corrupted Event and the latter stages of the Zen Event. Designed as a companion to the god Raijin, this pet is a game-changer for players who love mutation chains and weather-based strategies. With its electric-inspired passive skills, Raiju can turn an ordinary harvest into a storm of profit and spectacle.
How to Get Raiju in Grow a Garden
There are two main ways to obtain the Raiju pet during the event:
1. Corrupted Zen Egg
Drop Source: Corrupted Zen Egg, introduced in the second half of the Zen Event.
Drop Rate: 4% chance per egg.
Hatch Time: 4 hours 10 minutes.
Opening Corrupted Zen Eggs is the primary method for most players. With a 4% drop rate, it may take several eggs and some luck, but the potential reward is well worth the effort for pet collectors and mutation enthusiasts.
2. Zen Channeller’s Tree Stage 7
For players seeking a guaranteed route (without relying solely on RNG), evolving the Zen Channeller’s Tree to Stage 7 is the answer.
How to Progress: Combine Tranquil and Corrupted plants and submit them to the Zen Channeller NPC.
Result: Once the tree reaches its full level, Raiju becomes available for purchase in the Zen Shop (if in stock).
Reaching Stage 7 requires dedication and consistent play, but it ensures you get Raiju without gambling on drop rates.
How to Hatch Raiju and What to Expect
Once acquired, the Raiju pet takes 4 hours and 10 minutes to hatch from its egg. Plan ahead if you’re aiming to time its arrival with a specific weather event (like Thunderstorm), as its abilities only reach full effectiveness under certain conditions.
Raiju’s Passive Abilities and Storm Build Strategies
Raiju’s unique abilities are tailored for “storm” builds—gardens that capitalize on weather and mutation chaining. Here’s how it works:
Shocked Mutation Consumption: Raiju actively seeks out fruit with the Shocked mutation. When it consumes such a fruit, you gain 1.5x the usual sell value, boosting your profits from electric mutations.
Chain Lightning Effect: After consuming a Shocked fruit, Raiju triggers a chain lightning ability. This effect spreads the Static or Shocked mutation to nearby fruits, rapidly transforming large sections of your plot into an electrified field.
Weather Dependency: Raiju’s full power is only activated during Thunderstorm weather. Outside of these storms, its passive effects are dormant.
This combination makes Raiju the best pet for storm builds, turning a single mutation into a chain reaction that can electrify your entire garden in moments.
Best Ways to Use Raiju Pet for Maximum Results
Plan Around Thunderstorm Weather: Keep Raiju equipped and be ready to act whenever a Thunderstorm event begins. Prepare your plots with as many harvest-ready fruits as possible to maximize mutation chains.
Produce Shocked Mutations: Use mutation sprays or other pets to increase the amount of Shocked fruits in your garden before activating Raiju’s effect.
Combine with Electric-Friendly Plots: Pair Raiju with crops and setups that benefit from Static or Shocked mutations to stack your profit potential.
Aim for Stage 7 Zen Channeller’s Tree: If you’re committed to electric builds, prioritize progressing your tree for a guaranteed Raiju instead of relying on luck.
Is Raiju Worth the Investment?
Absolutely. Raiju is one of the most powerful pets introduced in the Corrupted Event, especially for players who love mutation strategies and high-profit harvests. Its legendary status, unique weather dependency, and explosive chain reactions make it a must-have for advanced gardeners and event competitors.
Final Thoughts
The Raiju Pet Grow a Garden is the ultimate companion for storm-focused players. Whether you get it from a Corrupted Zen Egg (4% drop rate) or unlock it by reaching Stage 7 of the Zen Channeller’s Tree, Raiju’s chain lightning abilities and Shocked mutation synergy can turn an ordinary plot into a high-value, electrified masterpiece. Equip Raiju, plan for Thunderstorms, and watch your garden—and your profits—light up like never before.
