How to get, use, merge, and level up pets in Deep Fishing
Pets have both star tiers and an XP level. The Star Upgrader raises their star tier through merging.
Start with an egg at the Hatchery, inspect your companion and visit the Star Upgrader, then return to Fernshore for fishing.
Part 1 – Find an egg and hatch it in the Pond
Find and inspect an egg
Fish normally in the ocean for a chance to obtain an egg such as Beach Egg. Open your inventory, browse the consumables, and find the Eggs category. Select the egg to inspect its hatch details and listed chances; it also has a See Pets option.
Head to the gold portal
Close your inventory and run toward the central gold PORTAL on Fernshore beach, beside the lighthouse and pier.
Teleport to the Pond
Interact with the portal and select Pond from the destination menu.
Reach the Hatchery
After arriving, cross the path to the structure labeled HATCHERY in your Pond.
Equip your egg
Open your inventory again and locate the egg. Select Click to Hold to equip it on your hotbar.
Place the egg
With your egg held, approach an unused glowing slot and press E at the Place Egg prompt.
Wait for incubation
Let the countdown reach zero. The egg displays Ready! when incubation finishes.
Part 2 – Inspect your pet and visit the Star Upgrader
Hatch and inspect your pet
Press E at the ready egg to hatch it. Each Beach Egg gives you one pet from its listed possibilities, including Cat, and hatching displays NEW DISCOVERY!. A newly hatched Cat begins following you; open the dedicated Pets inventory tab to view its details.
Bring matching pets to the Star Upgrader
Head uphill to the MERGE PETS station on the wooden platform overlooking the ocean. Bring matching pets and press E at Add Pet to add a pet to the Star Upgrader.
Part 3 – Return to Fernshore and level your pet through fishing
Return to Fernshore
Use the portal and choose Fernshore to return to the fishing world.
Fish with your pet equipped
Walk to the ocean shoreline and cast your rod with your pet equipped. Catch fish during the ascent to earn pet XP and raise its level.
What are the Beach Egg hatch time and chances in Deep Fishing?
| Beach Egg detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Common |
| Hatch time | 1 min |
| Shiny chance | 5% |
| Listed hatch-outcome chances | 60%, 25%, 10%, 4%, and 1% |

What do pets do, and how do you read their stats in Deep Fishing?
| Cat stat | Level 1 value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Rare |
| Coins | x1.03 |
| In-Pond cash bonus | +2% |
| Level display | 1 / 20 |
| Initial XP progress | 0 / 60 XP |
The Pets menu includes a notice that your newly hatched Cat is following you. Its Pond Pets counter uses a /10 denominator, while the Pond itself displays a Pet Bonus readout for its cash bonus.
Cat’s Level 1 profile shows its coin multiplier alongside a separate cash benefit for keeping it in your Pond. Its level and XP progress sit on the same detail card.
Use the XP progress on your pet’s detail card to track its progress toward the next level.
Your companion can follow alongside you while you fish. That keeps pet development connected to fishing, with matching pets giving you a separate path into star upgrades.
