The Raccoon. No, not your average trash panda, this one’s a Divine-tier pet in Grow a Garden, and it’s officially the hardest pet to get in the entire game. Thanks to the brand-new Lunar Glow Update, the Raccoon now has a 1% drop rate. That’s not just rare, it’s insane. For comparison? The second-rarest thing in the whole event sits at 2.5%. So yeah, the Raccoon is on a tier of its own. Here’s the kicker:
I’ve spent tens of thousands of Robux trying to hatch this furry thief… and still haven’t pulled it. But after grinding for weeks and testing everything the update has to offer, I found a legit, free method that actually works. Let me show you how to do it, without wasting time or money.

Before we dive into the grind, let’s take a second to appreciate why everyone (and their alt account) wants the Raccoon:

StatDetails
RarityDivine
Hatch Chance1%
Egg TypeNight Egg
AbilityFruit Copy (steals a fruit from another player’s garden every ~15 min)

That ability alone makes the Raccoon one of the best pets in the game. It straight-up duplicates fruits from other players’ plots and drops them into your storage. That includes mutated, giant, or rare crops, even ones you haven’t unlocked yet. It’s a passive goldmine.

Why You Couldn’t Get the Raccoon Before (And What Changed)

When the Lunar Glow Update first launched, farming for Moonlit Fruits (which give you Lunar Points) was nearly impossible.

  • Moonlit Fruits had a 0.1% drop rate on day one.
  • You needed those fruits to get Lunar Points.
  • You needed Lunar Points to get Night Eggs.
  • No fruits = no points = no Raccoon.

To make things worse, resetting your daily quests cost 1 billion coins. Yikes. Now? Moonlit drop rates have improved and quest resets are down to 500 million coins, still pricey, but manageable. That means you can finally grind this pet out without breaking the bank.

Stack Lunar Points Fast (Without Going Broke)

Lunar Points are your gateway to Night Eggs. Here’s how to get them efficiently:

  • Wait for the Night Event (Every 45 Minutes): Moonlit Fruits only appear during Night Events. During that time, focus your garden like this:
    • If You’re Just Starting:
      • Plant Tomatoes – Cheap, easy, and give 3 Lunar Points each.
      • Avoid Strawberries and Carrots – They only give 1–2 points and waste space.
    • If You’re Mid to Late Game:
      • Remove all Tomatoes – Seriously, dig ’em up.
      • Only plant Legendary or Divine fruits.
    • Bonus Tip: Use Sprinklers + Golden Mutation:
      • Place a sprinkler before you log off.
      • Golden Moonlit Fruits give +2 extra points.
      • Golden Grapes = 8 points per fruit!

Get the Night Staff ASAP

Your first big goal should be earning 40 Lunar Points to unlock the Night Staff.

Why it matters:

  • The Night Staff increases the number of Moonlit Fruits that spawn.
  • More fruits = more points = more Night Eggs.

Also, make sure your garden only has good crops. Moonlight randomly hits your plants, and you don’t want it wasted on junk-tier stuff.

Make Bank for Quest Resets (500M+ Coins Needed)

You’ll want to reset Lunar Quests frequently to stack up Night Eggs. Here’s how to make money fast:

  • Option 1: Sell Mutated Moonlit Giants:
    • Got a Frozen Moonlit Coconut that’s 200kg?
    • DO NOT turn it in for points, sell it or trade it for huge profit.
  • Option 2: Lightning Storm Farming:
    • During thunderstorms, harvest Shocked Fruits:
      • Shocked Grapes, Mangoes, Peppers = instant millions.
    • I’ve pulled 1.5–2 billion this way just passively farming.
  • Option 3: Trading:
    • Flip rare seeds, fruits, and items.
    • Find demand and supply gaps.
    • Be smart, don’t fall for scams.

Earn Free Night Eggs (Here’s the Math)

You can get up to 16 Night Eggs from the Lunar Event:

Lunar Point MilestoneEgg Reward
702× Night Eggs
2002× Night Eggs
2302× Night Eggs
2802× Night Eggs
3103× Night Eggs
4205× Night Eggs

That’s a solid shot at the Raccoon, though with a 1% chance, you’d ideally want 100 eggs or more. Still, it’s completely free.

Premium Route (If You’re Tempted…)

If you’ve got Robux to burn, here’s the cost of Premium Night Eggs:

  • 1 Egg = 199 Robux
  • 3 Eggs = 575 Robux
  • 10 Eggs = 1699 Robux (best value)

I won’t lie, I’ve bought a lot of these and still struck out. It’s RNG. Stick with the free method unless you’re rolling in Robux.

Bonus: How to Use the Raccoon (If You Actually Get It)

Congrats, you beat the odds! Now here’s how to use it right:

  • Tips for Using Raccoon Efficiently:
    • Keep it fed and happy at all times
    • Play on busy servers – more gardens = more fruit options
    • Leave empty garden plots so it has room to deliver stolen fruit
  • Raccoon Synergy Combos:
    • Raccoon + Night Owl + Echo Frog = passive farming powerhouse
    • Raccoon + Mole + Kiwi = profit through duplication + selling

Heads up: Some players report the Raccoon occasionally brings back smaller versions of fruits. Still useful, but don’t expect it to steal a 1-ton mango every 15 minutes.

Wrap-Up: Is It Worth It?

Yes, it’s RNG. But now? It’s finally possible to get it for free. Good luck, and may the Night Eggs bless you.
