How To Get a Mythical Egg

To obtain one, you can go to Raphael’s Shop or the Pet Shop- next to Eloise’s Gear Shop. Three eggs will spawn in the shop’s selection every 30 minutes. The Mythical Egg has a 7% chance of spawning, so you might have to wait for a while before you can purchase the egg.

The shop also stocks the eggs in very low quantities, forcing you to compete with other players, speed-wise. Fortunately, if you decide to tend to your garden while waiting, the game notifies you whenever the Seed Shop, the Pet Shop or the Gear Shop restocks its items.

Once the egg is available in the shop, purchase it with 8,000,000 sheckles. You can now hatch the egg in your garden to start gaining all the pet benefits in Grow a Garden.
