In Grow A Garden, the Rainbow Lollipop stands among the most powerful progression items. With a single use, it instantly levels up a pet—making it invaluable for reaching max levels quickly and preparing pets for mutation. Because of its rarity and game-changing impact, players are always on the hunt for consistent ways to acquire it.

Method 1: Buying from the Gear Shop

The most direct way to grab the Rainbow Lollipop is by purchasing it from the Gear Shop near the main Seed Shop and Sell Stand.

  • Item Name: Usually appears as the Level Lollipop or Mega Lollipop
  • Stock Status: Not always available—its appearance is random and tied to rotating shop inventories
  • Tip: Make it a habit to check the shop daily; many serious players log in specifically for shop resets

This method requires patience but offers instant gratification when the item finally shows up.

Method 2: Completing Achievements for a Guaranteed Lollipop

If randomness isn’t your style, this method guarantees results—though it demands serious dedication.

  • Action: Complete all in-game achievements
  • Reward: You’ll earn the Mega Lollipop, the strongest version available
  • Effect: Instantly boosts a pet to Age 100, the maximum level

This is the ultimate reward for completionists and mutation-focused players looking for perfect pet setups.

Method 3: AFK Farming Using Digging Pets

For players who prefer passive grinding, AFK strategies can produce a steady supply of Level Lollipops.

Required Pet:

  • Pancake Mole or any pet with digging/foraging abilities

Strategy:

  1. Level Up Your Digging Pets – Aim for Level 100 to get reduced cooldowns and better drop rates.
  2. Build a Strong Team – A group of eight high-level moles offers ideal efficiency.
  3. Stay AFK Safely – Use an auto-clicker or consistent input so the game doesn't kick you for inactivity.

Results:

Expect to return to rewards like Level Lollipops, sprinklers, and other valuable items waiting in your inventory.

Smart Usage Tips for Lollipops

Because both the Level Lollipop and Mega Lollipop are one-time use items, timing is everything.

Maximize Experience Gain:

  • Never use a Level Lollipop when your pet is near its next level.
  • Use it right after a pet levels up so you gain the largest XP jump possible.

Save Mega Lollipops for the Best Pets:

  • Use them only on pets you’re investing in long-term, especially those intended for Age 100 mutations or high-value trades.
