The Pet Mutations update added an extra flair to pets in Grow a Garden, and the trend continues with the new Zen update. However, unlike other mutations, the Zen event specifically requires you to use Tranquil mutation plants to complete quests and unlock new items. Although you can get the mutation from the Zen Aura event or a specific pet, you can mutate your pets to get it easily. In this guide, learn how to obtain the Tranquil pet mutation in Grow a Garden.

Best Tips to Get Tranquil Pet Mutation in Grow a Garden
While the process to obtain the Tranquil Pet mutation is straightforward, there are some tips and tricks you can apply to get it faster. So, without wasting much time, follow the tips below:
- Upgrade Zen Tree first: To upgrade the Zen Tree to level 7, you need a total of 1,250 Zen and grow the tree behind Unk the Monk. So, instead of getting Chi from the Zen Shop first, I would suggest upgrading the tree first. While upgrading the tree, you have a chance to get Chi Points from the monk as well.
- Don’t waste Chi: As the shard is a Divine rarity, there is a high chance you will find Zen Seed Packs and Zen Eggs more in the shop’s stock. Hold onto your Chi and use it on the shard when it is back in stock.
- Hatch Zen Eggs: When you receive the Zen Eggs as a reward from completing the tree upgrades, you must hatch them to get the Tanchozuru pet. This pet gives Tranquil mutation every 10:30 minutes to a nearby fruit.
Should You Get the Tranquil Pet Mutation?
Given that the Tranquil mutation is the heart and soul of the Zen event update, you will need plenty of them to acquire all the new items. The only ways to get the mutation on your crops are through the Zen Aura weather event, Tanchozuru, or a Tranquil pet. While the Zen Aura event runs every hour, it randomly applies the mutation.
Having a Tranquil pet will improve your chances of getting this new mutation. Especially, if you use the Tranquil mutation on Tanchozuru, it will boost further. While unlocking the shard, you will obtain plenty of Zen Seed packs, crates, Zen Pet eggs, and Chi. So, it is a win-win situation. And with the Tranquil mutation selling for 20 times its value, even after the Zen Event, it will be worth it.
