The Polar Bear is a Legendary-tier pet added in the Animals Update (May 3, 2025). With a low hatch rate from a specific type of Egg and a signature passive that periodically chills or freezes nearby crops, it’s both a prestige collector’s item and a profit-booster for dedicated gardeners.

What is the Polar Bear in Grow a Garden?
The Polar Bear ranks among the rarest pets in Grow A Garden. It has white fur with a yellow-tinted snout, and as you can tell, its visual matches its ability. Every ~90s, there’s a ~10% chance of turning a nearby crop chilled or frozen, increasing its sell value by quite a bit. The multiplier for Chilled is x2, and for Frozen, it’s x10.
How to Obtain the Polar Bear
Here are all the details to know about this pet:
- Egg Type: Legendary Egg
- Hatch Chance: 2.13% per Legendary Egg
- Egg Cost: 3 million Sheckles each when Legendary Eggs restock
- Average Eggs Needed: Plan on hatching 50–100 eggs to secure one Polar Bear
Legendary Eggs rotate into the shop at about a 3% restock rate; patience and efficient Sheckle farming are key. - Profit Impact: Chilled/Frozen crops sell for up to 50–100% more than base price, boosting your revenue during high-value runs.
Best Uses
- High-Value Crops
Make sure to have multiple (or all) high-value and multi-harvest crops so that you make much more income with this pet, instead of getting mutated low-tier crops. - Weather Stacking
Having a Polar Bear in your garden, along with the naturally occurring mutations through weather, will ensure that you keep getting a steady flow of Sheckles. - Keep It Fed
Regularly feed your pet to reduce its trait cooldown; a well-maintained Polar Bear triggers more mutations over time.
