How to use the tier list
Tier lists help you quickly judge whether a trade is balanced — but they're a starting point, not a verdict.
Demand changes things
A B-tier pet with elite demand (like Hedgehog or Cow) can punch above its value in practice. High demand means faster trades and more leverage.
Neon changes everything
Neon pets are worth roughly 3-5x the default, and Mega Neon roughly 6-12x. A B-tier Mega Neon can easily outvalue an A-tier default.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best pet in Adopt Me in 2026?
The Bat Dragon is currently the highest-value pet in Adopt Me, sitting at the top of S tier. The Shadow Dragon, Giraffe, and Frost Dragon are close behind, all firmly in S tier.
How are tier rankings decided?
Tiers are assigned based on current default (Fly Ride) trading values from The Patch value database, cross-referenced against multiple community trackers. S tier = 100+, A tier = 40-99, B tier = 15-39, C tier = 5-14, D tier = below 5.
How often does the tier list update?
The tier list updates whenever the underlying value data is refreshed — typically after major Adopt Me patches (Fridays) or significant market shifts. The "Updated" date at the top of this page shows the most recent revision.
What does D tier mean — are those pets worthless?
D tier pets like the Dragon and Unicorn are starter pets and extremely common, so they have low trade value. They're great for new players and aging into Neons — but experienced traders rarely accept them in multi-pet trades.
Is a Neon S-tier pet worth more than a regular S-tier pet?
Generally yes. A Neon Bat Dragon is worth roughly 2-3x the default Bat Dragon. But a Neon lower-tier pet doesn't automatically beat a regular S-tier pet — use the trade calculator to compare accurately.
