How to Make a Neon Pet in Adopt Me
A glowing Neon pet is one of the best things you can own in Adopt Me. Many players want one, but not everyone knows how it is made. The good news is that you can make one yourself with four pets of the same kind. This guide shows you the full way, from growing your pets to the moment your new Neon pet appears.
Quick Answer: To make a Neon pet in Adopt Me, you need four Full Grown pets of the same kind. Take them to the Neon Cave under the bridge on Adoption Island and place one pet on each of the four glowing circles. The four pets join into one Neon pet that glows. This guide shows every step, how long it takes, and how to make a Mega Neon pet too.
How to Make a Neon Pet in Adopt Me — Step by Step
Making the Neon itself is fast. Follow these steps:
- Grow four pets of the same kind until all four are Full Grown.
- Go to the Neon Cave. The cave is under the main bridge that joins Adoption Island and the Neighborhood. Walk down to the door under the bridge and go inside.
- Talk to Nixie if you want. Nixie is the character inside the cave who explains how Neon pets work.
- Stand on one of the glowing circles around the platform and place one of your Full Grown pets on it.
- Do the same with the other three pets, one pet on each circle. There are four circles, and all four must have a pet on them.
- Wait for the short animation. Your four pets join into one new Neon pet in the big circle in the middle.
Your new Neon pet starts again at the first age, which for a Neon is called Reborn. The four pets you used are gone, and the Neon pet takes their place. If you try to place a pet that is not Full Grown, the game will stop you and tell you that pets must be fully grown to fuse their spirits.
What You Need to Make a Neon Pet
You need four pets of the exact same kind, and all four must be Full Grown. A Neon Dog needs four Full Grown Dogs. A Neon Unicorn needs four Full Grown Unicorns. You cannot mix two kinds of pets, and you cannot use a pet that is still young.
Pets grow through six ages: Newborn, Junior, Pre-Teen, Teen, Post-Teen, and Full Grown. You grow a pet by doing the small tasks it asks for, like feeding it, giving it a drink, or taking it to school. When a pet finishes enough tasks, it moves to the next age. Only Full Grown pets can be used to make a Neon.
What Is a Neon Pet in Adopt Me?
A Neon pet is a special version of a normal pet that glows. Some parts of the pet light up in a bright color. Every pet glows in its own way. One pet may glow on its wings, and another may glow on its tail, ears, or feet.
Neon pets were added to Adopt Me in July 2019, and players have loved them ever since. A Neon Bat Dragon, for example, glows on its wings, horns, and tail. Because you need four pets to make one Neon, a Neon pet is much rarer than a normal pet, and other players know it when they see the glow.
How Long Does It Take to Make a Neon Pet?
Most of the time goes into growing the four pets. The number of tasks a pet needs to reach Full Grown depends on its rarity:
| Rarity | Tasks for one pet | Tasks for four pets |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 25 | 100 |
| Uncommon | 36 | 144 |
| Rare | 54 | 216 |
| Ultra-Rare | 107 | 428 |
| Legendary | 183 | 732 |
So a Common Neon, like a Neon Dog, is quick to make. A Legendary Neon takes much longer, because each Legendary pet needs 183 tasks, and you need four of them.
There are ways to grow pets faster. The best tip is never to let a task wait. Do each task as soon as it appears, and your pet ages at the fastest speed. You can also use an Age-Up Potion, which grows a pet by 30 tasks at once. You earn Age-Up Potions for free when a Full Grown pet fills its Friendship bar, and they can also come as pet age-up rewards. You can read more about them on our Adopt Me potions page. The last way is to trade for pets that are already Full Grown. This skips the growing work, but always check that the trade is fair before you accept.
Neon Pet Ages and Stages
A Neon pet grows through the same six ages as a normal pet, but the ages have special names:
| Normal age | Neon age name |
|---|---|
| Newborn | Reborn |
| Junior | Twinkle |
| Pre-Teen | Sparkle |
| Teen | Flare |
| Post-Teen | Sunshine |
| Full Grown | Luminous |
The glow gets brighter as the Neon grows. A Reborn Neon glows only a little. A Luminous Neon glows at full strength, and it looks amazing in the game, especially at night. Luminous is also an important stage because you need Luminous Neons to make the next form, the Mega Neon.
How to Make a Mega Neon Pet in Adopt Me
A Mega Neon pet is the form above a Neon pet. It glows in the same places as a Neon, but the glow keeps changing color and cycles through many colors. Mega Neon pets were added to Adopt Me on April 17, 2020.
To make a Mega Neon, you need four Luminous Neon pets of the same kind. Take them to the same Neon Cave and place one Neon on each of the four glowing circles, just like before. The four Neons join into one Mega Neon pet.
This means one Mega Neon takes sixteen Full Grown normal pets in total: four pets for each of the four Neons. It is a long job, so most players make Mega Neons of pets they really love. A Mega Neon Unicorn is one of the most popular pets in the game, and its changing glow is easy to spot from far away.
Do Fly and Ride Potions Carry Over?
Yes, they do. If any one of the four pets you use has a Fly ability or a Ride ability, the Neon pet gets that ability too. You do not need all four pets to have it. One is enough.
The same rule works for Mega Neons. If any one of the four Neons has Fly or Ride, the Mega Neon keeps it. So before you make a Neon, it is smart to put your Fly and Ride pets into the mix, because their powers pass on to the new pet for free.
Can You Make a Neon Out of Any Pet?
Almost any pet can become a Neon, but a few pets cannot. These pets can never be made Neon: Pet Rock, Scoob, Pumpkin, Burtaur, and the MFR Sandwich. If you take one of these pets to the Neon Cave, the game will not let you use it.
Every other pet in the game can be made Neon, from a simple Common Dog to the rarest Legendary pets. If you are not sure about a pet, growing it to Full Grown and trying it in the cave is always safe. The game will tell you if that pet cannot be used.
Is a Neon Pet Worth More Than a Normal Pet?
Yes. A Neon pet is worth more than the same pet in its normal form, because it takes four Full Grown pets and a lot of time to make one. A Mega Neon is worth even more again.
Before you trade a Neon or a Mega Neon, check its value first. Our Adopt Me values list shows the Neon and Mega Neon value of every pet, and our Adopt Me calculator helps you check if a trade is a win, fair, or a loss. A quick check can save you from a bad trade.
