guide
A pet-list recovery guide for Grow a Garden players whose saved pet rankings, support notes, or upgrade plans may no longer match current route needs.
Short answer
Build a Grow a Garden plan from an outdated pet list by checking current updates, naming the support job your route needs, keeping working pets, and testing one replacement before spending heavily.
This is the fastest direct answer for readers who want the result first and the longer route logic second.
Use these pages when the short answer turns into a more specific choice.

A saved pet list can age badly after balance notes, event pressure, or route changes. Instead of asking which old rank is still correct, ask what job the route needs now: comfort, recovery, event pressure, mutation help, or faster farming support.
An outdated list does not mean every pet is wrong. Some pets may still solve a stable support job. Keep those as the baseline while you test one uncertain slot.
A higher-ranked pet can still be worse if it supports a route you do not run. Match the pet to your crop loop, session length, and current resource budget before upgrading.
A matcher or comparison tool helps once you have two realistic pet choices. If the route support job is not clear, a tool will only make the old list look more confusing.
