Exciting changes are afoot in Grow a Garden, especially with the introduction of new pets that bring exciting mutations. The latest addition through the Corrupted update is a pet called Raiju. While it may not be a direct part of the current event, Raiju is definitely worth your attention thanks to its impressive traits that can elevate your gardening game. Let’s dive into the details of how you can unlock this intriguing pet and what benefits it offers.
How to Get the New Raiju Pet in Grow a Garden
Raiju is classified as a divine pet and can be found in the Zen shop once you navigate through the game. Initially, it is locked, but you can easily unlock it by growing the Zen tree to level 7. If you need guidance on how the Zen tree functions, take a look at our dedicated guide on the Grow a Garden Zen Event. Here’s how you can bring Raiju into your garden:
- First, collect plants with the Tranquil mutation from your garden and take them to Unk the Monk NPC.
- Submit all those plants to the Monk; you’ll see a progress bar increase above its head. Keep this up until Raiju is unlocked in the Zen shop nearby.
- The Zen shop is conveniently located next to the monk. You can interact with a brown raccoon to access it.
- To purchase items from the Zen shop, you need Chi, which you earn by submitting Tranquil mutated plants to the raccoon.
- Once Raiju is unlocked and you have enough Chi Points, you can buy the pet directly. Alternatively, you can get Raiju instantly for 759 Robux.
Since the Raiju is a divine pet, its availability will be quite limited. You might find yourself waiting for a considerable time before it appears in stock. The Zen shop refreshes every hour, particularly when a new Zen Aura or Corrupted event occurs. If Raiju doesn’t show up, be ready to wait another hour.
However, you don’t have to be entirely dependent on luck. You can restock the Zen shop by clicking the yellow restock button on the top right corner. Keep in mind that the cost will increase with each restock.

Should You Get the Raiju Pet in Grow a Garden?
Given that Raiju is a divine pet, acquiring it will require dedication and patience. It’s essential to assess whether it is worthwhile to pursue this pet without spending Robux.
Considering Raiju’s abilities and the overall items available in the Zen shop, acquiring this pet with Chi Points could be a strategic move. Most other items, aside from pet mutation shards, do not offer significant benefits—making Raiju a valuable option to invest in.
Moreover, checking back on the Zen shop every hour only takes a minute or two. Combine this with gathering Tranquil mutated plants to level up your tree, and the task becomes manageable. With a bit of patience, getting your hands on the Raiju pet can be relatively straightforward.
If you’re keen on enhancing the value of your Shocked mutated plants or expanding your garden’s variety, acquiring Raiju is a smart choice.
