Games that revolve around amassing a large collection of virtual Pets and engaging in their meticulous care have always been popular. From ancient instalments such as NeoPets to relatively new and more fleshed-out versions of the concept in Animal Crossing, the premise of a virtual coterie of Pets has existed for a while.
Pet Simulator X cashes in on this well-established concept, though it Robloxifies it in almost every way imaginable. From having to grind for the really cool Pets to having various in-game purchases, Pet Simulator X is a truly Robloxian take on the genre. Of course, no Roblox game is complete without incredibly complex mechanics. Indeed, Pet Simulator X is no exception and has a steep learning curve.
As such, we’ve decided to compile a complete guide to Pet Simulator X, which’ll help you go from a complete Noob to a certified Pro in no time.
General Mechanics
In this section, we’ll cover some general game mechanics you need to know. Let’s get started!
Pets

Pets in Pet Simulator X
Pets are the main focus of Pet Simulator X, which should be fairly obvious from the name! Pets can be acquired mostly through Coins, which are the main currency of the game. These Pets can be used to collect Coins throughout the map. Furthermore, the price of a Pet depends on its rarity, but we’ll get into that a little later.
Eggs

Eggs in Pet Simulator X
Unfortunately, you cannot purchase Pets directly. You must either Trade for them or buy Eggs to hatch the Pet you want. Of course, these Eggs give certain Pets more than others, which determines the rarity of the Pets. The harder a Pet is to hatch, the more expensive it is to Trade for.
Boosts
Boosts, as the name suggests, provide various buffs to the player, either in terms of Pet damage, coin collection, or Egg drop rates. However, these Boosts can only be collected by leveling up, claiming Rank rewards, or finding random Lootbags across the map. You can also purchase them for Robux, which is a theme that permeates all of Pet Simulator X. Indeed, the game is very pay-to-win.
Ranks
In Pet Simulator X, Ranks are essentially your Level and provide some bonuses as you progress through. You can increase your Rank by collecting in-game resources, which give you XP in proportion to the damage you deal. In Pet Simulator X, most resources are collected by breaking open whatever contains them, usually a Chest. As such, the more damage you deal, the more XP you get.
The higher your Rank becomes, the harder it is to progress to the next one as the XP requirement increases linearly with your Rank. Ranks do offer cool bonuses, such as Rank rewards which give you Gems!
Trading

Trading in Pet Simulator X
Perhaps the mechanic that Pet Simulator X is most famous for is Trading. In Pet Simulator X, you can trade Pets with other players! This means that a veritable Pet Simulator X market has emerged, with all the intricacies of any virtual economy. From value sheets to duplicitous cons trying to flip a Pet or two, Pet Simulator X’s trading scene remains one of the most captivating aspects of the game!
General Tips and Tricks
Now that you’re familiar with the basics of the game, we can move on to some general advice that will help you get your bank full and your Pets aplenty. Remember, these tips are pretty general so they can be safely applied in most scenarios. Let’s dive right in!
Use Trading to Earn Gems Quickly
If you decide to make your Gems by farming the Gem patches across the map, it’ll take you centuries before you get a respectable amount. As such, the best way to make Gems is via trading. Specifically, you should aim to buy mid-tier Pets and sell them for slightly more than what you bought them for.
Remember, it is not necessary to get a huge profit on every trade, so you should simply focus on getting small, consistent wins. If you do this repeatedly, the Gems will start rolling in!
Consult Value Charts When Trading

Pet Simulator X Value Chart
The most important thing when trading is being well-informed! If you are unsure of what the price of some Pet you own is, consult a value chart online. There are dozens of these charts available on the Internet, so consult a few to get a general idea of what your Pet is worth.
Claim Your Rank Reward Consistently
In Pet Simulator X, you get a Rank reward every six hours, but this needs to be claimed. This Rank reward gives you both Gems and Coins for absolutely free! As such, make sure you claim it every time you log in.
Use An Auto-Clicker to AFK Farm
-

One of the best methods to increase your Rank and get a lot of Coins is to use an auto-clicker for farming a Gigantic Chest. To really ramp up your efficiency, you can use Boosts to increase the Coins and XP you harvest from these shenanigans.
Do Not Buy Golden Eggs
Golden Eggs are far more expensive than their less shiny counterparts, though the Pets they offer are also similarly more valuable! However, you can actually convert six normal Pets into a golden Pet, and buying six normal Eggs is cheaper than buying a single golden Egg!
As such, the best way to get some golden Pets is to buy five or six normal Eggs, hatch them, and convert those Pets into a golden Pet!
Conclusion
We hope this article has been helpful in orienting your Pet Simulator X experience. Now that you’re aware of the intricacies of Pet Simulator X, you are ready to go from a Gemless, Coinless heathen to a godly, golden Pet-wielding adonis. Go now, and apply this knowledge to your benefit! All we ask is you remember us when you have so many Gems that you are uncertain where to spend them!
