How to Unlock Raiju in Grow a Garden for Big Profit3 min read
With each update, Grow a Garden continues to expand its world with exciting new content, especially when it comes to pets. These companions are not just cosmetic; they boost plant mutations and enhance your garden’s output. One standout from the Corrupted update is Raiju, a Divine-tier pet in Grow a Garden with a sleek design and a powerful passive that increases the value of Shocked-mutated plants.
While Raiju is not directly linked to the event, it is easily one of the most valuable Grow a Garden items right now. Whether you are farming Moon Mango in Grow a Garden or maximizing rare crop profits, this pet is a great long-term investment. Here is how to unlock Raiju and why it is worth chasing.
Steps to Unlock Raiju in Grow a Garden
Raiju can be found in the Zen Shop, which is located near Unk the Monk NPC. However, it won’t be available right away. Here’s what you need to do to unlock access to this Divine pet:
- Level Up the Zen Tree
Before Raiju appears in the Zen shop, you will need to grow your Zen Tree to level 7. This requires collecting and submitting plants with the Tranquil mutation.
- Submit Tranquil Plants to the Monk
Find plants in your garden with the Tranquil mutation and bring them to Unk the Monk. Each submission increases the progress bar over the Monk’s head. Continue submitting until your Zen Tree reaches level 7.
- Earn Chi Points
Once the Zen Tree reaches the required level, the Zen Shop next to the Monk becomes accessible. Interact with the brown raccoon NPC to enter the shop. Submit more Tranquil plants to earn Chi points, the currency used in the Zen Shop.
- Purchase Raiju with Chi or Robux
After unlocking the shop and earning Chi, you can purchase the Raiju pet if it is in stock. Alternatively, players can unlock Raiju immediately using 759 Robux.
How the Zen Shop Stock Works
Raiju will not always be in stock. Since it is a Divine pet, its availability is limited. The Zen Shop’s inventory refreshes every hour, usually when a new Zen Aura or Corrupted event occurs. If Raiju is not available when you check, you’ll need to either:
- Wait for the next hourly refresh, or
- Force a refresh by clicking the yellow restock button in the top-right corner of the shop.
Keep in mind that each manual refresh costs in-game currency, and the price increases every time you use it.
Is the Raiju Pet Worth Getting?
Yes, if you are looking to increase the value of Shocked-mutated plants or grow more of them, Raiju is one of the best pets to have. Most other Zen Shop items are not as impactful, so using your hard-earned Chi on Raiju is a smart move.
Also, the unlocking process is not too difficult. Tranquil plants are not that rare, and checking the Zen Shop once an hour only takes a minute. With a bit of patience and planning, you can grab Raiju without spending Robux.
Final Thoughts
Raiju is not just cool to look at, it actually helps you earn more by boosting Shocked-mutated plants. It takes a bit of time to unlock, but the payoff is solid.
If you are into collecting pets or playing smart, Raiju’s a no-brainer. It is one of the better picks out there, and definitely worth mentioning in any honest Grow a Garden review.
