Adopt Me Neon Pet Value
Is it worth making a neon? Calculate true trading value including aging and demand.
Pet Details
Neon Value Estimator
Enter the base pet details to see how much value is added by making it Neon.
Formula
Base Neon Value = 4 × Single Pet Value.
Aging Bonus = Base Value × (Rarity Hours Bonus). Legendaries take ~6 hours to age up from Newborn to Full Grown, creating significant scarcity value.
Demand Multiplier = Additional value for "Preppy" or "High Tier" pets (e.g., Cows, Turtles, Frost Dragons) where players overpay for the neon aesthetic.
Total Value = Base + Aging Bonus + Demand Bonus + Potions.
Steps to Make a Neon
Select the Rarity of the pet (Common to Legendary).
Enter the approximate Base Value of one regular (Newborn) copy of the pet.
Indicate if the final Neon will have Fly or Ride potions.
Adjust the Demand Multiplier (High Demand pets like Cows/Owls get a bonus).
Calculate to see the fair trade value of the Neon version.
The Ultimate Guide to Adopt Me Neon Pet Trading Values
Why 4 Unicorns are not worth 1 Neon Unicorn: The economics of time, scarcity, and the glowing premium.
In Adopt Me!, a Neon pet is created by fusing four fully grown pets of the same type in the specialized Neon Cave located under the main bridge. Visually, the pet gains glowing sections on its body—ears, feet, tails, or horns depending on the species. But economically, the value of a Neon comes from one fundamental resource: Time.
Most pets obtained from eggs start as "Newborn." To make a Neon, you must level up four separate pets through the following life stages: Newborn, Junior, Pre-Teen, Teen, Post-Teen, and Full Grown. This process requires completing hundreds of "tasks" (orange and blue circles that appear on your screen). When you trade for a Neon, you are not just buying the pet; you are paying for the seller's labor hours.
The Math: Newborns vs. Full Growns
A common mistake made by new traders is assuming that 4 Newborn pets equal 1 Neon pet. Mathematically, this seems correct (4 pets = 1 neon), but in the Adopt Me economy, this is a massive underpay.
The "Neon Premium"
The "Neon Premium" is the extra value added by the Full Grown status. Because aging pets is tedious, a Full Grown pet is worth approximately 1.5x to 2x a Newborn pet of the same species.
4 Newborn Unicorns = Worth ~4 "Unicorn Units"
4 Full Grown Unicorns = Worth ~7-8 "Unicorn Units"
Wait, why is a Neon worth less than 4 Full Growns? Sometimes it is! Many traders prefer 4 Full Growns because they are working towards a Mega Neon (which requires 4 Neons). However, for the average player who just wants a cool glowing pet, the Neon is the goal. Generally, you should never trade 4 Newborns for a Neon unless you add significant value (like a Ride potion or another Legendary).
The Grind: Task Breakdown by Rarity
The rarity of the pet drastically changes the value of the Neon form because aging takes exponentially longer for higher rarities. Understanding this helps you use our calculator more effectively.
Common (e.g., Cat, Dog)
Tasks to Full Grown: ~56 tasks per pet. Time Estimate: ~1 hour per pet. Neon Value: Low. Since it's easy to make, the "Neon Premium" is small.
Rare (e.g., Beaver, Rabbit)
Tasks to Full Grown: ~96 tasks per pet. Time Estimate: ~2.5 hours per pet. Neon Value: Moderate. Players start feeling the grind here.
Legendary (e.g., Unicorn, Turtle, Dragon)
Tasks to Full Grown: ~189 tasks per pet. Time Estimate: ~6 hours per pet (Active gameplay). Neon Value: Massive. Making a Neon Legendary requires roughly 24 hours of active gameplay. This is why Neon Legendaries are the gold standard currency of high-tier trading. You are saving the buyer literally a full day of grinding.
Potions: Fly/Ride vs. No Potion Explained
The value of Fly (F) and Ride (R) potions on Neons is counter-intuitive for high-tier pets.
Low/Mid Tier Pets: Potions ADD value. A Neon Ride Cow is worth more than a Neon No-Potion Cow because players want to ride it.
High Tier Exams (Shadow Dragon, Giraffe, Bat Dragon): Potions can SUBTRACT value (or No-Potion adds value). Why? Because most Shadow Dragons from 2019 have already been fed potions. Finding a "No Potion" (untouched) Shadow Dragon is incredibly rare. Therefore, a No-Potion Neon Shadow Dragon is one of the rarest items in the game, worth significantly more than a Fly-Ride Neon Shadow.
Trading Psychology: "Preppy" Values
Adopt Me trading is not just about rarity; it is about aesthetics. The community has dubbed certain pets as "Preppy" pets—usually cute, pastel, or aesthetically pleasing pets that fit a specific avatar style.
Examples of Preppy Pets (High Demand):
Cows (The ultimate high-demand pet, trades for way above its rarity)
Turtles
Poodles
SSBD (Strawberry Shortcake Bat Dragon)
Jellyfish
Examples of Low Demand Pets:
Griffin (Legendary, but disliked design)
Dragonfly
Minion Chick
Our calculator's "Demand Multiplier" exists exactly for this reason. A Neon Cow might be an Ultra-Rare, but it trades for more than many Neon Legendaries solely because players love how it looks.
Scam Prevention: Fake Neons & Switch Scams
When trading for high-value Neons, you become a target for scammers. Here are the most common methods to watch out for:
1. The Switch Scam
The scammer puts in a Neon Shadow Dragon. You put in your mega offer. They say "Pls add a food item" or distract you. While you are typing or looking, they quickly swap the Neon Shadow for a Regular Shadow. The icons look very similar. Always hover over the item to verify it says "Neon" before hitting accept on the second window.
2. The "Fail Trade"
They claim their trade is "glitched" and ask you to give your items first, promising to give the Neon in a second trade. Never do this. There is no such thing as a trade glitch that requires two separate transactions. This is always a scam.
3. Pertunia/Trim Scams
Scammers might rename a regular pet to "Neon Shadow" using the Pet Salon. Do not look at the custom name. Look at the official item tag below the name. If it doesn't have the N tag, it isn't Neon.
History of Neons: From 2017 to Now
Neons were introduced in the "Pet Update" of Summer 2019, forever changing the economy. Before Neons, pets were just singular items. The Neon update introduced a "sink" mechanism—removing 4 pets from the economy to create 1 superior pet. This deflationary mechanic is what keeps the Adopt Me economy alive.
Every time a player makes a Neon, 3 pets effectively "disappear" from circulation. This scarcity is what gives Mega Neons (which consume 16 pets) their astronomical value.
Disclaimer: Values in Adopt Me are community-driven and volatile. This calculator attempts to model the "Fair Trade" value, but individual server economies may vary. Always double-check with trusted value lists like Elvebredd or GG for the most up-to-the-minute tier shifts.

FAQs
How is Neon Value calculated?
Standard Neon Value is essentially 4x the base pet value plus an "Aging Bonus." Since growing 4 pets to full grown takes significant time (especially Legendaries), Neons trade for more than just 4 newborns. Usually, it's roughly roughly 5-6x the base pet value for high tiers.
Do Fly/Ride potions increase Neon value?
Yes, but not linearly. A Neon Fly Ride (NFR) pet is worth more than a No-Potion Neon, but "No Potion" high-tier pets (like Shadow Dragons) can sometimes be worth MORE due to rarity relative to older pets.
Why are some Neons worth more than 4 full-growns?
Convenience and demand. Players often overpay for the "cool factor" of the glowing neon texture without wanting to do the grinding work of aging pets themselves.
What is the "Aging Bonus"?
The Aging Bonus represents the time equity put into the pet. A Common Neon takes ~4 hours to make. A Legendary Neon takes ~24+ hours of active gameplay. Thus, Legendary Neons have a much higher markup percentage than Common Neons.
Is it better to trade 4 pets or make the Neon myself?
If you have the time, making the Neon adds value (profit). If you are a trader looking for quick flips, trading the 4 pets separately might be faster, but you miss out on the "Neon Premium."
Does the specific neon color matter?
No, the color of the neon glow is fixed per species (e.g., all Neon Cows glow pink). It affects demand (people love pink/blue neons) but you cannot change it or calculate value based on it specifically, other than general species demand.
How accurate is this calculator?
Adopt Me values fluctuate daily based on updates and player demand. This calculator uses a formula based on "Shark Values" and community tiers to give an estimated fair trade value, but always check recent trades in servers.
