How to Get Unicorn in Grow a Garden 2: Price and Abilities Explained

The Unicorn is one of the first big-ticket status pets in Grow a Garden 2, and at 12,000,000 Sheckles it’s the kind of purchase you plan your whole economy around. Players are asking what it actually does, whether it’s worth that price, and how you even get one — so here’s the straight answer plus the context you need before you commit.

The Unicorn is a 12 million Sheckle Mythic pet

Sources agree on the core stats. The Unicorn is a Mythic pet, it was added at launch on June 12, 2026, and it’s bought with Sheckles — not Robux. The confirmed cost is 12,000,000 Sheckles when one appears for you to buy. There is no verified Robux price, no egg it hatches from, and no premium-currency shortcut in any source so far.

You don’t find the Unicorn in a fixed shop. It’s a world pet that spawns as a physical NPC somewhere on the map, the same way pets like the Frog and Bunny appear, and you walk up to it to buy it. Early data lists its spawn chance at roughly 0.71%, so expect it to be genuinely rare rather than something you’ll stumble on every session.

What doubling your Rainbow chance is worth

The in-game description is the part everyone repeats: the Unicorn “trots around your garden and doubles the chance for plants and fruit to turn Rainbow.” That’s the entire payoff, and it’s worth being precise about what it means.

It doubles a chance — it does not guarantee Rainbow plants. If your base Rainbow rate is low, double-of-low is still low; you’ll see more Rainbows over time, not on demand. The buff is also passive and only works while the Unicorn is equipped as your active pet. Owning it in your collection does nothing on its own.

Rainbow plants and fruit sell for more than their normal versions, which is where the value comes from. That makes the Unicorn a late-game money scaler — it multiplies the output of an already-productive garden rather than helping you get started. One important unknown: whether running two Unicorns stacks the bonus isn’t stated anywhere yet, so the only confirmed behavior is the doubled chance from a single equipped Unicorn.

How to get the Unicorn in Grow a Garden 2

There’s no quest or crafting recipe — it comes down to having the Sheckles ready and being there when one spawns.

Save the full 12,000,000 Sheckles

You can’t reserve a spawn, so bank the entire price before you start hunting.

Play on a populated public server

World pets appear as NPCs around the map; more active maps mean more spawn chances.

Watch for a Unicorn to spawn

It can appear anywhere on the map at roughly a 0.71% chance, so keep checking.

Reach it before another player

Spawns are first-come, so get to its location fast once you spot one.

Buy it for 12,000,000 Sheckles

Stand next to it and use the purchase prompt; it then unlocks permanently as yours.

Equip it as your active pet

Open the Pets menu and equip the Unicorn, or the Rainbow buff stays off.

Spawn timers and exact locations are not documented yet.

Where the Unicorn lands on the pet tier list

Early community pet rankings place the Unicorn in S Tier, alongside the Raccoon, Black Dragon, and Ice Serpent. The Raccoon often gets called out as the strongest economy pet because it raises your steal capacity, so a common late-game plan is to pair a money pet like that with the Unicorn’s Rainbow scaling. If you want to dig deeper, creator pet-overview videos that walk through how pets work and how to get them are a good next stop before you spend.

Mistakes that waste your Sheckles

Three things trip players up. First, expecting a sell-value multiplier — the Unicorn boosts Rainbow odds, it doesn’t make Rainbow plants sell for extra on top. Second, buying too early: 12,000,000 Sheckles is widely called “too expensive,” and dropping it before your garden is productive can stall the upgrades that would actually grow your income. Third, forgetting to equip it — the buff is active-pet only, and plenty of players have it sitting in their collection doing nothing.
