In Roblox Grow A Garden, the Lion is one of the more unique and powerful pets you can add to your garden. Introduced during the Mega Safari Harvest Event, it’s a Divine-tier pet that combines high utility with strong passive abilities. In this guide, we’ll break down how the Lion works, how to get it, and how most players use it effectively.

What is the Lion in Grow A Garden?

The Lion is a Divine pet added to the game on November 8th, 2025. Its appearance is inspired by a real-life lion but made blockier to fit the Roblox aesthetic. It has studs across its body, giving it a distinctive look compared to other pets in the game. Most players recognize it not just for its design but for its high utility and powerful passives.

How Can You Get a Lion?

The Lion is available through the Safari Shop. It costs:

• Sheckle: 1,600,000,000

• Robux: 849 (requires the 2019 Logo Black event item)

In general, the Lion is considered rare due to its high cost and limited availability during event periods. Players usually plan ahead if they want to include it in their garden, since it requires either a large amount of in-game currency or Robux to obtain.

Lion Traits and Abilities

The Lion has two main passives that make it especially useful in a garden with multiple pets:

1. Lion Call Every 13:20–3:20 minutes, the Lion roars. This passive calls all pets in your garden to move toward the Lion and shares a total cooldown advance of 400–800 seconds across each pet. For individual pets, this usually translates to 60–120 seconds per pet. Most players find this helpful for coordinating cooldowns during active fruit harvesting sessions.

2. King of the Safari Every 23:20–6:40 minutes, the Lion roars again and mutates fruit in your garden. The number of fruits mutated depends on how many Safari-type pets you have. Each fruit undergoes a random Safari mutation, making it valuable for players who want a mix of fruit types without manually mutating each one. In general, this ability adds both efficiency and variety to your garden strategy.

Hunger and Maintenance

The Lion has a hunger value of 100,000, which is among the highest in the game. Only a few other Divine-tier pets, like the Dragonfly, Lich, and Tiger, match this hunger level. Most players note that because of its high hunger, the Lion requires consistent feeding, especially if you want it to remain active in its passives. Neglecting it can slow down the benefits it provides.

Tips for Using the Lion

• Maximize the King of the Safari: Most players use multiple Safari-type pets alongside the Lion to maximize the number of mutated fruits. This can save time and provide a larger variety of fruits for collection or trading.

• Cooldown Management: Lion Call is most effective in gardens with many active pets. Grouping pets around the Lion and planning harvest cycles can make a big difference in efficiency.

• Feeding Strategy: Because the Lion has such high hunger, players often feed it with large-capacity food items or keep multiple Lions in rotation during long play sessions.

For players looking to get the Lion faster or start their event collection early, it’s important to consider in-game currency management. Some may choose to buy Grow A Garden tokens to speed up progress toward obtaining high-tier pets like the Lion, though most experienced players usually rely on saving Sheckles and planning around event shop releases.

Lion in Practice

In general, players who successfully integrate the Lion into their garden report that it:

• Speeds up cooldowns for other pets.

• Improves fruit mutation efficiency, especially for Safari-type fruits.

• Looks impressive and adds to the overall “divine” theme of a high-tier garden.

Most players agree that the Lion is best suited for late-game gardens, where you have multiple pets and want to optimize fruit collection and mutation without spending too much time manually interacting with each pet.

The Lion is a high-value Divine pet in Grow A Garden. While obtaining it requires significant investment in Sheckles or Robux, its abilities—Lion Call and King of the Safari—make it worth the effort for most advanced players. Its high hunger means it needs careful maintenance, but the benefits for cooldown management and fruit mutations make it a top choice for players focused on efficiency and strategy in their gardens.
