What does the Chinchilla do in Grow a Garden?

Are you one of the few lucky ones to get a Chinchilla out of those Nutty Chests in Grow a Garden? Congratulations! You just got one of the best pets in the game!

The Chinchilla is a Divine pet introduced during the Chubby Chipmunk event. Like the other Divine pets from the previous events, it’s no surprise that this pet holds an OP ability that any player could take advantage of, especially if they want to maximize the usage of their other pets.

For this post, we’ll give you every important detail about the Chinchilla’s ability in Grow a Garden, including some pointers and tips to use if you already have one.

Here’s the actual description of Chinchilla’s ability:

“Every 40:00m, goes to another pet, rolls around in dust and makes that pet perform its ability three times in a row!”

While it does have an awfully long cooldown, the Chinchilla is basically a refresher pet that forces your other pets to trigger their abilities not just once, but thrice in a row. This could be a helpful mechanic for spamming many pet abilities in the game, such as Dragonfly, Kitsune, Corrupted Kitsune, Raccoon, and Disco Bee.

However, other pets’ mimic or refresher abilities cannot affect the Chinchilla’s ability. This means there’s no way you can manipulate its cooldown or make other pets copy Chinchilla’s ability, such as in the case of the Queen Bee, Tarantula Hawk, Wasp, Peach Wasp, Swan, and Mimic Octopus.

Additionally, several pets are also immune to Chinchilla’s ability, namely, the French Fry Ferret, Green Bean, and Red Panda.

You can only acquire the Chinchilla pet as one of the possible rewards from the Nutty Chests. To get this chest, you need to let your Chubby Chipmunk eat your unfavorite plants, which in turn, increases weight during the event.

While most pets in the game are obtained from eggs, the Chinchilla is one of the few that comes from a chest. Specifically, every time your Chubby Chipmunk reaches a certain weight threshold, you can sometimes get a Nutty Chest, and from there, you’ll have a shot at pulling a Chinchilla.

Another way of getting Nutty Chests is from the acorns that the Chubby Chipmunk drops around the map.

The Chinchilla is the rarest pet that you can get from a Nutty Chest for a staggering chance of 1%. If you’ve ever managed to get a pet with that kind of RNG, you already know how tough and time-consuming the grind can be.

If you can’t get a Chinchilla on your own, try trading for one instead. Make sure you offer a pet or set of pets of equal value if you’re truly determined to get your hands on a Chinchilla.

The following tips will allow you to optimize your Chinchilla’s ability:
