Tap Simulator: Reborn pet tier list

Tap Simulator: Reborn puts the numbers you need on screen. Every hatched pet shows its tap multiplier, every egg lists its hatch odds as "1 in N" or a percentage, and every pet carries a variation tier, a level and — later — an enchant. Those displayed attributes are the only fair way to compare pets in this game, so this tier list states the criteria first and then makes placements only where recorded numbers exist on them.

The calls the numbers do support: for any single pet, normal < golden < diamond < rainbow; Cerberus, the mythic from the final void egg, is the strongest confirmed non-secret pet; and rarity labels decide nothing on their own — one player's diamond raccoon outranked their own golden mythical Queen Bee. What you will not find here is a full-roster S/A/B table: launch-week recordings come from different players at different progression points using different metrics (per-tap multiplier, pet power, coin value), so the rest of the roster genuinely cannot be ranked yet.

All figures below were recorded in the game's first days after its October 9, 2026 release, and balance updates move pet stats — re-check the displayed numbers before committing coins.

How to compare any two pets fairly

The game displays every attribute you need, on the pet itself or on its egg:

The game itself treats these as the comparison axes: you can sort and equip-best by egg luck, clicks or gems, and equip-best even weighs enchants — one player kept a pet about 2% weaker because its Golden Touch turned 8-egg hatches into roughly a 16% golden chance per roll. Pets also roll coin and gem bonuses, which is why the separate best-for-clicks and best-for-gems sorts exist. For climbing the rankings, pet power is the leaderboard metric: one player's 97 million pet power was global rank 108.

The placements the numbers support

The variation ladder is strong enough that leaderboard players act on it: once diamond and rainbow versions fill the team, they auto-delete golden-and-under hatchlings (one player's void crawler normals sat around 48,000 while the goldens were "actually decent"), and one climber's stated goal was to keep only pets above 100,000 power. Pushing your best base pet up that ladder usually beats hatching for a rarer normal:

1. Golden — feed 1–6 copies of the same pet into the gold machine. One recording says six pets give a 100% success rate, but other runs showed failed rolls (at 13% and 80%), so the exact rule isn't settled; the golden pets guide covers the crafting in detail.
2. Diamond — five golden copies make a diamond (7x the normal pet). The crystal area's "fire laser" event can also mutate a pet straight to diamond, shown at 60%.
3. Rainbow — five diamonds finish in 30 seconds (four take about an hour, three about 3 hours, two about 5 hours). Rainbow pets could not hatch directly from eggs until all 15 shiny stars were collected — the shiny star locations list the ones to find.

Egg odds and prices for each step are on the egg list, and the hatching flow is in the egg hatching guide.

Rarity is not strength

Rarity color — purple epic, orange legendary, reddish mythical — tells you how hard a pet is to hatch, not how hard it hits. Three recorded examples make the point:

• A diamond raccoon became one player's best pet, beating their golden mythical Queen Bee. The two-tier variation gap outweighed two rarity steps.
• A player who hatched their second secret judged it "wasn't that good" — even a 1-in-thousands hatch can arrive weaker than a crafted variation of a common pet.
• New-zone pets are not automatically better: a mushroom dog was "not even that much better," an ant from a 600-billion-coin egg didn't make the team while a fungi dragon from the same area did, and an autumn raccoon was only "almost" good enough.

So rank the measured version of a pet — its variation, level and enchant — never its rarity label. When two candidates are close, let the game's own equip-best sort for your goal (clicks, gems or egg luck) decide, since it accounts for the enchants you can't see at a glance.

Pets this tier list can't rank yet

Some pets have no comparable strength data at all, so giving them a tier letter would be invention:

• Secret pets. The index hides secret entries until you hatch them, and only their odds are documented — Forsaken Knight at 1 in 4 million (the final area's rarest) and a 1-in-500 secret in the pumpkin egg among them. No shared power measurements exist. The secret pets page tracks what's known.
• Robux Chronus egg pets. Their hatch odds are published (34%, 34%, 26% for the Celestial Timepiece, 6% for the Sands of Time mythic, 0.1% for the Chronus secret), but no strength figures were recorded — and Robux pets don't count toward the pet-power leaderboard anyway.
• Testing-server pets. Pets like the Nimbus Firefly were shown in pre-release early testing, where the game itself warned that data would be reset. Treat anything seen only there as provisional.
• Mid-game pets. Autumn, mushroom and crystal-area pets were never measured against each other on one standard, so nothing between the early eggs and the final void egg gets a placement.
• A "best enchant." Creators disagree by goal: one end-game player calls Gambler's Pack (+30% luck) the only enchant worth chasing and says taps stop mattering late, others reroll for Power 3 or call Prismatic Surge "probably the best" though it's nearly impossible to get, and a third was happy with Glass Cannon (+75% taps). Pick by whether you're hatching or tapping — don't follow a single universal pick.

How to actually pick your team

1. Identify the pet. Not sure what you hatched or which egg it came from? Open the pet list to confirm the pet and its egg source.
2. Compare on the displayed stat. Same egg, same variation, same level: the higher multiplier wins. Across eggs, compare the best pet each egg realistically gives you — a unicorn at 151x beats anything the basic eggs offer.
3. Favor variation over rarity. A diamond or rainbow version of a decent pet usually outperforms a rarer normal, and it's the version leaderboard climbers keep. Team slots and equipping are covered in the pet team guide.
4. Finish the job. Level with treats, craft up the variation ladder, and enchant after rainbow based on your goal. Coins and gems for eggs come from rebirths, chests and upgrades — active codes can top up the early grind.

FAQ

What are the best pets in Tap Simulator: Reborn? The strongest confirmed non-secret pet is Cerberus from the final void egg — 192,000 as a base mythic, near 1,000,000 as a diamond and 2.2 million pet power once enchanted. Below it, the recorded ladder runs mushroom-area mythicals (~58,000), desert scorpions (~10,000) and legendary dragons (733x). Secrets and Robux Chronus pets can't be placed because no strength figures were recorded.

Does a higher-rarity pet always beat a lower-rarity one? No. A diamond raccoon beat a golden mythical Queen Bee, and a hatched secret was called "not that good" by its owner. Compare the displayed multiplier, variation tier, level and enchant instead of the color.

Can you hatch rainbow pets from eggs? Per one recording, no — rainbow hatching stayed locked until all 15 shiny stars around the map were collected. Until then, craft rainbows at the rainbow machine: five diamonds take 30 seconds, while smaller batches take up to five hours.
