Adopt Me pet values are shifting hard this, and the trading scene is feeling it. The Chinese New Year event just wrapped up, the Lunar Serpent supply is officially capped, and the St. Patrick’s Day event is around the corner. If you’ve been sleeping on your trades or you’re jumping into the Adopt Me economy for the first time, this is the guide that tells you exactly what every pet is worth, which trades are smart right now, and how to protect yourself from the scams that are still fooling players every single day.
We’ve ranked over 50 pets across four value tiers, broken down neon multipliers, and put together a complete trading playbook for March. Whether you’re working toward a Shadow Dragon or just want to make sure nobody rips you off, you’re in the right place.
For Roblox trading beyond Adopt Me, our Roblox economy and trading playbook covers the bigger picture.
Let’s get into it.
Top Legendary Pet Values
The legendary tier is where most serious trading happens, and the hierarchy at the top hasn’t changed much. But there are some notable movers this month that could set you up for big wins if you act early.
S-Tier Legendaries (Elite)
These pets are the endgame. If you own any of them, you’re sitting on serious trading power.
| Pet | Obtainable? | Trend | Approx. Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shadow Dragon | No (2019 Halloween) | Stable | Highest in-game |
| Bat Dragon | No (2019 Halloween) | Stable | Just below Shadow |
| Frost Dragon | No (2019 Christmas) | Slight Rise | 2 Owls equivalent |
| Giraffe | No (Safari Egg) | Stable | Just below Frost |
| Lunar Serpent | No (CNY ended) | Rising Fast | Approaching Giraffe |
Shadow Dragon is still king. Nothing has touched it in years and nothing will anytime soon. Bat Dragon and Frost Dragon hold their usual second and third spots, with Frost creeping up a little in March as demand stays strong.
The big story is the Lunar Serpent. The Chinese New Year event ended on March 3rd, and that means zero new supply entering the game from this point forward. Players who grabbed multiples during the event are already seeing offers jump. If you missed the event entirely, expect to pay a premium that only gets steeper through spring.
A-Tier Legendaries (High Value)
These are the backbone of the trading economy. You won’t get a Shadow in a 1:1 swap, but these pets give you real negotiating power and a clear path to the top.
| Pet | Obtainable? | Trend | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Owl | No (Farm Egg) | Stable | Always in demand |
| Parrot | No (Jungle Egg) | Stable | Slightly below Owl |
| Evil Unicorn | No (2019 Halloween) | Slight Rise | Halloween nostalgia kicking in |
| Arctic Reindeer | No (2019 Christmas) | Rising | 6+ years unobtainable |
| Crow | No (Farm Egg) | Stable | Solid holder |
| Frost Fury | No (2020 Christmas) | Rising | Best value-climber in A-tier |
Arctic Reindeer keeps climbing. It’s been unobtainable for over six years now, and the nostalgia factor combined with a shrinking supply is pushing it up month after month. If you own one, hold it unless someone seriously overpays.
Frost Fury is the sleeper pick of March. It’s been on a quiet uptrend since January and hasn’t peaked yet. At current prices, it’s arguably the best value pickup in A-tier.
Ultra-Rare and Rare Pet Values
Don’t sleep on the lower tiers. Smart traders build their way up from here, and there are some genuinely undervalued pets in the ultra-rare and rare categories right now.
Ultra-Rare Highlights
| Pet | Obtainable? | Trend | Trading Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flamingo | No (Safari Egg) | Stable | Trades like a low legendary |
| Crocodile | No (Jungle Egg) | Slight Rise | Age adds value monthly |
| Hedgehog | No (2019 Christmas) | Stable-High | Demanded more than most legendaries |
| Platypus | No (Jungle Egg) | Stable | Undervalued, good hold |
| Lamb | No (2021 Easter) | Stable | Mid-range ultra-rare |
| Toy Monkey | No (Fairground) | Slight Rise | Collectors paying more |
Hedgehog continues to be the ultra-rare that trades like a legendary. It consistently pulls trades above its technical rarity because demand is massive and supply dried up years ago. If you see someone offering a Hedgehog for a couple of random legendaries, think twice before passing.
Rare Tier Worth Watching
Most rare pets have low individual value, but a few stand out:
| Pet | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Elephant | Safari Egg scarcity makes it trade above its rarity |
| Hyena | Same situation as Elephant, aging well |
| Brown Bear | Jungle Egg nostalgia keeps demand alive |
| Pig | Farm Egg rarity, small but steady demand |
| Cow | The most overvalued rare in the game, but demand is real |
Cow deserves a special mention. Technically a rare pet, it trades way above its rarity class because the community absolutely loves it. Is it overvalued compared to its actual rarity? Yes. Will that change anytime soon? Probably not. Demand is demand.
Neon and Mega Neon Value Multipliers
One of the most common mistakes in Adopt Me trading is thinking a Neon pet equals exactly four of the same regular pet. The crafting process itself adds value because you’re investing time and permanently removing four pets from circulation.
Here’s the actual multiplier breakdown:
| Pet Type | Neon Multiplier | Mega Neon Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Legendary (S-Tier) | 6-7x base value | 25-30x base value |
| Legendary (A-Tier) | 5-6x base value | 20-25x base value |
| Legendary (B-Tier) | 5x base value | 18-22x base value |
| Ultra-Rare | 4-5x base value | 16-20x base value |
| Rare | 3-4x base value | 12-16x base value |
| Common/Uncommon | 2-3x base value | 8-12x base value |
The higher the base pet’s value, the bigger the neon multiplier gets. A Mega Neon Shadow Dragon is worth a staggering amount because the base pet is already the most valuable in the game. A Mega Neon common? It’s still basically a common pet with a fancy glow.
Pro tip: Crafting Neon pets from B-tier legendaries is one of the best value-creation strategies available. Buy four Turtles or Kangaroos at fair individual prices, grow them to Full Grown, craft the Neon, and you’ve instantly created more value than what you spent. This is how experienced traders consistently grow their inventories without getting lucky on a single big trade.
Pets Rising and Falling
Markets move every month, and knowing which direction pets are heading saves you from buying at the top or selling at the bottom.
Rising Pets (Buy/Hold)
| Pet | Why It’s Rising | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Lunar Serpent | Event ended March 3rd, supply capped forever | Buy now, hold through spring |
| Arctic Reindeer | 6+ years unobtainable, nostalgia demand growing | Hold, sell only for overpay |
| Frost Fury | Quiet uptrend since January, still undervalued | Buy or hold |
| Evil Unicorn | Halloween nostalgia wave starting early | Hold |
| Crocodile | Aging Jungle Egg pet, collector demand rising | Buy at current prices |
Falling Pets (Sell/Avoid)
| Pet | Why It’s Falling | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Axolotl | January re-release flooded market, still draining | Sell before further drops |
| Goldhorn | Newer legendaries pulling demand away | Sell or trade up |
| Phoenix | Oversaturated, too many in circulation | Avoid buying |
| Cerberus | Permanent gamepass pet, unlimited supply | Avoid overpaying |
| Kitsune | Same issue as Cerberus, always available | Trade away for rising pets |
The biggest takeaway: permanently unobtainable pets rise over time, permanently available pets stagnate or fall. This is the single most important rule in Adopt Me trading and it applies to every single pet in the game.
Trading Tips for Beginners and Intermediate Players
Whether you just started playing or you’ve been at it for months, these strategies will help you make better trades and grow your inventory faster.
1. Learn the value tiers before you trade anything. The tables above are your starting point. You should know roughly where every pet you own sits in the hierarchy before you accept or reject any offer.
2. Always check multiple value sources. No single list is perfect. Cross-reference at least two or three community value lists before making a big trade. If all sources agree, you’re probably safe. If they disagree wildly, wait for more data.
3. Trade up in small steps, not giant leaps. Going from a C-tier pet straight to an S-tier pet in one trade is almost impossible without getting scammed. Work your way up gradually: C to B, B to A, A to S. Each step is achievable.
4. Buy event pets during events, sell them after. When an event is active, everyone has access and supply is high, so prices are low. Once the event ends and supply caps, values climb. This pattern has repeated with every single limited event in Adopt Me history.
5. Don’t trade based on emotions. You love your Unicorn because it was your first legendary? Cool. But if someone offers you a Frost Fury for it, that’s a massive win for you. Take the trade. You can always get another Unicorn.
6. Full Grown pets are worth more. A Full Grown legendary is worth slightly more than a Newborn of the same pet because buyers use them for Neon crafting. If you’re grinding pet ages, you’re adding value.
7. Patience beats everything. The best traders don’t jump at the first offer. They wait for the right deal, even if it takes an extra day in the trading plaza. Rushing trades is how you lose value.
8. Keep a small inventory of “add” pets. Having a few mid-tier pets ready to sweeten a deal is incredibly useful. Sometimes a trade is 90% there and you just need to throw in a small add to close it.

How to Avoid Scams in Adopt Me
Scams in Adopt Me are still everywhere, and the tactics keep evolving. If you want to keep your pets safe, here’s exactly what to watch. And for a broader breakdown of Roblox scam types beyond just Adopt Me, our guide to Roblox scams covers everything from phishing to fake Robux generators.
Trust Trades
Someone asks you to give your pet first and promises they’ll give theirs after. This is the oldest scam in the book and it still works on new players every day. There is absolutely no reason to ever trade outside the official trade window. If someone insists on a trust trade, they’re trying to steal from you. Period.
The Pet Switcheroo
A scammer shows you a high-value pet in the trade window, then quickly swaps it for a cheaper pet that looks similar right before you hit confirm. Shadow Dragon swapped for a regular Dragon. Frost Dragon swapped for an Ice Golem. Always take an extra second to verify the exact pet in the window before you accept.
Fake Value Websites
Scammers create their own “official” pet value websites that deliberately overvalue their pets and undervalue yours. Then they share the link during a trade as “proof” that their offer is fair. Stick to well-known, community-trusted value lists and always cross-reference multiple sources.
External Link Phishing
“Visit this website for free legendary pets!” No. Full stop. Adopt Me will never ask you to visit an external website. These links lead to phishing pages designed to steal your Roblox login credentials. Don’t click them, and report anyone who shares them.
The Middleman Setup
Someone claims they need a “trusted” third party to hold both pets during a big trade. Both the “trader” and the “middleman” are the same person or working together. Use the official in-game trade system exclusively.
St. Patrick’s Day Event Predictions
Looking ahead at March, the St. Patrick’s Day event is almost certainly happening based on Adopt Me’s historical patterns. Here’s what to expect and how to position yourself:
What we know from past years:
- Green-themed pets are basically guaranteed. Think shamrocks, leprechauns, or Irish folklore creatures.
- Past events have given us a mix of Ultra-Rare and Legendary pets.
- Event duration is typically 2-3 weeks with high participation.
Trading strategy around the event:
- Grind for multiples of the event pets while they’re free or cheap. Don’t overpay during the event when supply is at its peak.
- After the event ends, hold your event pets for 2-3 months minimum. That’s when limited supply pushes values up.
- Expect a small temporary dip in existing pet values as players chase new event pets. This creates buying opportunities.
Looking further ahead, the Easter event in April has historically been one of Adopt Me’s biggest annual events. Start saving your best trade ammunition for that.
Trading Meta Breakdown
Every month has a meta, and is all about capitalizing on the post-CNY window and preparing for spring events.
The smart money moves:
Lunar Serpent accumulation. The event is over and supply is done. Every week that passes makes your Lunar Serpent collection more valuable. This is the single best trade setup in the game right now.
Dump declining pets. If you’re holding Axolotls, Goldhorns, or any pet that’s been trending down, trade them away for rising pets while they still have decent value. Waiting only costs you.
Neon crafting for profit. Buy four of any rising B-tier legendary (Turtle, Kangaroo, Albino Monkey), age them to Full Grown, craft the Neon, and sell the Neon for more than the sum of its parts. Repeat.
Event preparation. Have tradeable inventory ready for the St. Patrick’s Day and Easter events. Don’t be the person who has nothing liquid to trade when a new high-demand pet drops.
Target undervalued ultra-rares. Hedgehog, Crocodile, and Platypus are all pets where the current trading price doesn’t fully reflect their scarcity. Patient buyers here will be rewarded.

How the Adopt Me Trading System Works
If you’re brand new to Adopt Me trading, here’s a quick breakdown of how the system works:
Starting a trade: Walk up to another player and click on them. Select “Trade” from the menu. Both players need to be in the same server.
The trade window: Both players see a split screen. You add your pets or items to your side, they add theirs. You can add up to 9 items per trade.
Confirming the trade: Both players click accept, then there’s a final confirmation step. Use this review step carefully every single time.
After the trade: The trade is permanent. Adopt Me’s developers do not reverse trades, even if you were scammed. The only protection is your own awareness.
Trading etiquette matters. Don’t spam “TRADE ME” in chat. If someone declines your offer, say “nty” and move on. Be the kind of trader you’d want to meet in the plaza.

Final Thoughts on Adopt Me Trading is a great time to be trading in Adopt Me if you’re paying attention. The post-Lunar New Year window is the biggest opportunity we’ve seen in months, and players who position themselves correctly now will reap the benefits through spring.
Focus on acquiring pets with capped supply, avoid overpaying for pets that are still obtainable, and never rush a trade. The trading plaza rewards patience, knowledge, and a cool head. If you can stay disciplined while everyone else panic-trades around new events, you’ll build an inventory that speaks for itself.

FAQ
What is the most valuable pet in Adopt Me?
Shadow Dragon remains the single most valuable pet in Adopt Me as of. It consistently trades at the top of every value list and a Mega Neon Shadow Dragon is worth more than almost any combination of other pets in the game.
How much is a Frost Dragon worth in Adopt Me right now?
A Frost Dragon is an S-tier pet worth roughly two Owl equivalents or about three Arctic Reindeers. It has been climbing slowly throughout early because no new pet has matched its demand and supply is permanently locked.
What Adopt Me pets are rising in value?
Lunar Serpent, Arctic Reindeer, and Frost Fury are all trending upward. The Lunar Serpent is rising fastest because the Chinese New Year event ended and supply is capped permanently.
Which Adopt Me pets are losing value?
Axolotl and Goldhorn are both declining in value during. Axolotl dropped after its January re-release flooded the market, and Goldhorn is losing ground as newer legendary alternatives draw attention.

What is the best trade to make in Adopt Me?
The best move right now is picking up Lunar Serpents while people are still undervaluing them. The event ended and supply is permanently capped, which means values will keep climbing through spring. Also consider trading away Axolotls before they drop further.
How does the Adopt Me trading system work for beginners?
Open the trading menu by clicking on another player and selecting Trade. Both players add pets or items to their side of the window, review the offer, and confirm. Both must accept for the trade to go through. There is no way to trade outside this window safely.
Will St. Patrick’s Day pets be valuable in Adopt Me?
St. Patrick’s Day event pets historically have moderate long-term value. They usually start low during the event when supply is high, then gradually increase over the following months once the event ends and no more can be obtained.
How often do Adopt Me pet values change?
Pet values shift constantly based on supply, demand, new events, and community trends. Major shifts happen when events start or end, when pets get re-released, or when new high-demand pets enter the game. Checking updated value lists monthly is recommended.
