Adopt Me trading can feel like a whole second job if you don’t know what your pets are actually worth. Every month the values shift, new pets drop, old ones spike or crash, and the trading plaza turns into a chaotic mess of people overpaying for the wrong things. If you’ve been out of the loop or you’re just getting into trading, this guide breaks down exactly where every pet tier stands, which trades are smart right now, and how to avoid the scams that are still somehow catching people off guard.
Let’s get into it.
Pet Value Tiers
Here’s where things stand this month. We’ve grouped pets into four tiers based on their current trade demand and relative value. Keep in mind these values shift constantly, but the tier placements are solid for the rest of February and likely into early March.
S Tier - The Elite
These are the crown jewels. Owning any of these puts you in the top trading bracket, and you’ll have people lining up to offer.
| Pet | Type | Obtainable? | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shadow Dragon | Legendary | ❌ No (2019 Halloween) | Stable |
| Bat Dragon | Legendary | ❌ No (2019 Halloween) | Stable |
| Frost Dragon | Legendary | ❌ No (2019 Christmas) | Slight Rise |
| Giraffe | Legendary | ❌ No (Safari Egg) | Stable |
| Lunar Serpent | Legendary | ✅ Limited (CNY) | Rising Fast |
Shadow Dragon is still the undisputed king. It’s been the most valuable pet in Adopt Me for years and nothing has dethroned it. Bat Dragon sits right behind it, and Frost Dragon holds a comfortable third place. The new entry here is the Lunar Serpent from the Chinese New Year event. It’s already climbing because the event ends March 3rd and everyone’s realizing supply will be capped.
A Tier - High Value Traders
These pets won’t get you a Shadow Dragon in a 1:1 trade, but they’re the backbone of serious trading. You can build up to S-tier from here.
| Pet | Type | Obtainable? | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Owl | Legendary | ❌ No (Farm Egg) | Stable |
| Parrot | Legendary | ❌ No (Jungle Egg) | Stable |
| Evil Unicorn | Legendary | ❌ No (2019 Halloween) | Slight Rise |
| Arctic Reindeer | Legendary | ❌ No (2019 Christmas) | Rising |
| Crow | Legendary | ❌ No (Farm Egg) | Stable |
| Frost Fury | Legendary | ❌ No (2020 Christmas) | Rising |
Arctic Reindeer is having a great month. Nostalgia demand is real, and the fact that it hasn’t been available for over six years keeps pushing the price up. Frost Fury is in a similar boat. If you can grab either of these in a fair trade, hold onto them.
B Tier - Solid Mid-Range
These are good pets that hold their value but won’t blow anyone’s mind in the trading plaza. They’re perfect for building up to A-tier through smart multi-pet trades.
| Pet | Type | Obtainable? | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turtle | Legendary | ❌ No (Aussie Egg) | Stable |
| Kangaroo | Legendary | ❌ No (Aussie Egg) | Stable |
| Albino Monkey | Legendary | ❌ No (Monkey Fairground) | Slight Rise |
| Dalmatian | Legendary | ❌ No (2019 Christmas) | Stable |
| Lion | Legendary | ❌ No (Safari Egg) | Stable |
| Axolotl | Legendary | ✅ Yes (Re-released) | Falling |
Watch out for Axolotl. It got a temporary re-release in January and the flood of supply has been slowly dragging its value down. If you’re holding Axolotls hoping for a bounce, you might want to trade them away before the decline continues.
C Tier - Common Traders
These pets are easy to obtain or were widely distributed. They’re fine starter pets but you’ll need multiples to trade up.
This tier includes most currently-obtainable egg Legendaries, recent event pets that had high participation, and any pet that’s been in the game’s rotation recently. Don’t overpay for anything in this tier thinking it’ll spike – it usually won’t unless Adopt Me removes it from the game entirely.
Neon and Mega Neon Values
One of the biggest mistakes newer traders make is assuming a Neon is worth exactly four of the same pet. It’s not. The crafting process itself adds value because it takes time, effort, and you’re removing four pets from circulation.
Here’s the general multiplier breakdown:
- Neon Legendary = roughly 5-6x the value of one regular Legendary
- Mega Neon Legendary = roughly 20-25x the value of one regular Legendary
- Neon Ultra-Rare = roughly 4-5x the value of one regular Ultra-Rare
- Mega Neon Ultra-Rare = roughly 16-20x the value of one regular Ultra-Rare
The higher the base pet’s value, the bigger the multiplier tends to be. A Mega Neon Shadow Dragon is worth an astronomical amount because the base pet is already the most valuable in the game. A Mega Neon common pet is still just a common pet with a fancy glow.
Pro tip: Making Neon pets from B-tier Legendaries is one of the best value-creation strategies in the game. Buy four Turtles at fair individual prices, craft the Neon, and you’ve instantly created more value than what you paid.
Best Trades to Make Right Now
Here’s what’s smart money:
Buy Lunar Serpents before March 3rd. The Chinese New Year event ends and supply stops. Every limited event pet in Adopt Me history has risen in value after its event closes. This one will too.
Trade away Axolotls. The re-release flooded the market. Values are trending down and will likely keep falling through March as the novelty wears off.
Hold Arctic Reindeers and Frost Furies. Both are in an uptrend. Don’t sell into rising demand unless someone overpays significantly.
Look for undervalued Neons. Some players craft Neons and then panic-sell them for less than the sum of their parts. If you see a Neon Turtle offered for four regular Turtles, that’s a steal for you.
Avoid overpaying for hype. New pets always have inflated values in their first week. Wait for the dust to settle before making big trades involving brand-new pets.
Common Scams to Watch For
I wish I could say scams have gotten less sophisticated, but they haven’t. Here are the ones still catching people:
Trust trades: Someone asks you to give your pet first and promises to give theirs after. Never do this. There is zero reason to trade outside the official trade window.
The switcheroo: A scammer shows you a high-value pet, then quickly swaps it for a lower-value one that looks similar right before you confirm. Always double-check the trade window carefully before hitting accept.
External link scams: “Go to this website to get free pets!” No. These are phishing sites that steal your Roblox account. Adopt Me will never ask you to visit an external website for rewards.
The middleman scam: Someone claims they need a friend to act as a “trusted middleman” for a big trade. Both accounts are the same person. Use the in-game trade system and nothing else.
Fake value sites: Scammers create fake value list websites that intentionally overvalue their pets and undervalue yours, then use that site as “proof” during negotiations. Stick to well-known community value lists and cross-reference multiple sources.

Seasonal Pet Predictions
Looking ahead, here’s what to expect based on Adopt Me’s historical event patterns:
2026: St. Patrick’s Day event is almost guaranteed. Expect a green-themed pet, probably an Ultra-Rare or Legendary. Past St. Patrick’s events have given us the Leprechaun and Clover items. These pets tend to have moderate long-term value.
2026: Easter event is the big one. Adopt Me Easter events have historically introduced multiple pets, including some of the game’s most beloved (remember the Bunny?). Plan your trades around this – values of current pets might temporarily dip as players focus on the new event pets.
Spring: There’s community speculation about a “Spring Garden” update with nature-themed pets. Nothing confirmed yet, but Adopt Me’s developers have been hinting at environmental content on social media.
The golden rule of seasonal trading: Buy event pets while the event is active (when supply is highest and prices are lowest), then hold them for 2-3 months after the event ends. That’s when values typically peak for mid-tier event pets.
Trading Etiquette Tips
Nobody wants to be that person in the trading plaza. Here are some unwritten rules that experienced traders follow:
- Don’t spam “TRADE ME” in chat. Stand near the trading area and wait for people to approach, or approach others politely.
- Don’t lowball and act offended when declined. If someone says “nty” (no thank you), move on. Arguing about values in the chat just wastes everyone’s time.
- Be honest about pet ages. If someone asks if your pet is Full Grown for Neon crafting, don’t lie about it.
- Don’t flex to make people feel bad. Showing off your inventory is fine, but rubbing it in the face of newer players is just mean.
- Say “nty” instead of ignoring. If someone offers and you’re not interested, a quick decline is more respectful than just walking away mid-trade.
Final Thoughts is a solid month for Adopt Me trading if you play it smart. The Lunar Serpent opportunity is the biggest one right now, and if you act before March 3rd you could set yourself up nicely for the spring months. Keep your eyes on Arctic Reindeer and Frost Fury for continued growth, ditch your Axolotls while they still have decent value, and for the love of all things Roblox, don’t fall for trust trades.
The trading meta in Adopt Me rewards patience and knowledge. If you know what your pets are worth and you’re willing to wait for the right deals, you’ll build an amazing inventory over time. No shortcuts, no scams, just smart trades.
