Adopt Me Tier List (November 2026): Pets Ranked by Value and Demand

TL;DR, bestie

Adopt Me tier list, November 2026, ranked by value and demand together:

  • S: Bat Dragon, Shadow Dragon, Giraffe and Frost Dragon.
  • A: Owl, Giant Panda, Blazing Lion, Parrot, Crow, Balloon Unicorn and African Wild Dog.
  • B: high-value pets that are harder to trade (Amethyst Penguin, Haetae, Cryptid, Evil Unicorn) plus demand monsters like the Hedgehog.
  • “Looks good, trades slow”: Orchid Butterfly, Diamond Butterfly, Jekyll Hydra and Grim Dragon.
  • Halloween 2026 pets are all low tier for now.

Values checked 1 November 2026.

A value list tells you what a pet is worth on paper. A tier list tells you what’s actually good to hold: big value plus people who want it. Here’s mine, built from two live value lists and their demand ratings, with no guesswork.

How I tiered them

TierWhat it means
STop value and High demand. Easy to trade, holds value.
AStrong value (about half a Frost or more) with High demand.
BGood value but only Normal demand, or lower value but Very high demand.
CDecent value but Low demand, so it’s slow to trade.
DLow value right now (including most Halloween 2026 pets).

Values are in Frost Dragons (normal Fly Ride), from Adopt Me Values’ 26 October snapshot and checked against AdoptMeValues on 1 November 2026. Demand is Adopt Me Values’ 1–5 rating.

S tier: the blue chips

PetValue (Frosts)Demand
Bat Dragon3.16High
Shadow Dragon2.14High
Giraffe1.47High
Frost Dragon1.00High

These four are the backbone of Adopt Me trading, and both lists put them in the same order. Every other pet gets measured against the Frost Dragon. If you own one of these, you’re holding the closest thing Adopt Me has to cash. Full breakdowns: Bat Dragon and Shadow Dragon.

A tier: strong and easy to trade

PetValue (Frosts)Demand
Owl0.77High
Giant Panda0.69High
Blazing Lion0.63High
Parrot0.62High
Crow0.56High
Balloon Unicorn0.54High
African Wild Dog0.51High

These are the “two of these for a Frost” pets. They’re great trade-up steps because people actively ask for them. The Giant Panda and Blazing Lion punch way above their weight as Megas (about 9.1 and 7.9 Mega Frosts), so a Mega of either is close to S tier.

B tier: good, with a catch

PetValue (Frosts)DemandThe catch
Amethyst Penguin0.49NormalDown about 54% in a month
Haetae0.48NormalOnly Normal demand
Cryptid0.48HighDown about 18% in a month
Evil Unicorn0.37HighLower value, but steady and rising
Hedgehog0.25Very highLower value, but trades instantly
Dalmatian0.21HighLower value, steady
Arctic Reindeer0.18HighUp about 7% in a month
Cow0.12Very highCheap, but everyone wants one

The Hedgehog and Cow are the sneaky picks. Their values are modest, but “Very high” demand means you can trade them on almost immediately, which makes them perfect add-ons to balance a trade. The Amethyst Penguin is the opposite: its value is fine on paper but falling fast, so think twice before trading for one.

C tier: looks good, trades slow

PetValue (Frosts)Demand
Orchid Butterfly0.38Low
Diamond Butterfly0.22Low
Undead Jousting Horse0.21Low (down about 38% in a month)
Jekyll Hydra0.20Low (down about 32% in a month)
Monkey King0.13Low
Grim Dragon0.12Low

These are the pets people offer you to “make the numbers work”. They’re not bad pets, but Low demand means you might be stuck holding them. If a trade is mostly C-tier pets adding up to an S-tier pet, it’s probably an L for you even if the numbers match.

D tier (for now): Halloween 2026

PetValue (Frosts, FR)
Jester Dragonabout 0.03
Copycatabout 0.02
Count Slothulaunder 0.01
Stray Cat Dragon, Skelicorn and the restwell under 0.01

Every Halloween 2026 pet is D tier right now. That’s not a judgment on the pets (the Copycat’s polymorph is genuinely fun). It’s just supply: everyone is farming them. Event pets usually find their real level after they leave. I’ll re-tier them next month. Values for all of them are in the value list.

Kiko’s take: S tier is where you want to end up, and A tier is how you get there. B-tier demand monsters like the Hedgehog are the secret sauce for balancing trades. Be careful with C tier: a pile of Low-demand pets can feel like a W in the window and an L a week later. And the Halloween pets? Keep the ones you love. Their trade value is giving “Blockbuster late fee” right now.

Scam check

Tier lists get used in scams too. Someone says “Diamond Butterfly is S tier now, trust me” to make an uneven trade look fair. Always check the current value and demand on a list you found yourself. Never accept a trade because of a tier list someone shows you mid-trade (including this one, honestly; check the date).

FAQ

What’s the best pet in Adopt Me right now?

The Bat Dragon: the highest value (about 3.2 Frosts) with High demand.

What’s the difference between a tier list and a value list?

A value list shows what each pet is worth. A tier list also weighs demand, which tells you how easy the pet is to trade on.

Are Halloween 2026 pets good to trade for?

Not for value right now. They’re plentiful while the event runs, and values usually settle after they leave.

Which cheap pets are good to trade with?

The Hedgehog and Cow both have Very high demand, so they’re easy to trade on even though their values are modest.

How often is this tier list updated?

Monthly, using live value lists checked on the day.
