The best trade-up target is not always the flashiest pet in the server. It is the one that gives you a better hold, better demand, and a cleaner next step after this trade is over.
If you are trying to trade up efficiently, target pets that still have strong demand after the trade window closes. Right now, that usually means aiming for Turtle and Cow in the lower premium lane, Evil Unicorn in the upper-middle lane, and Frost Dragon in the elite lane.
Use this guide when you have adds to work with and want a better long-term hold instead of whatever flashy pet happens to be trending in one server.
Use these pages when you want the full reasoning behind the strongest trade-up targets.
