Monkey

The Monkey is a non-exclusive Rare pet, and that single label tells you almost everything about its role: it is one of the most accessible companions in the game, hatched from the Rare Egg purchasable directly in the Pet Eggs Shop. There is no event window to chase and no FOMO timer, so any player with Sheckles can buy in whenever they like.

That permanent availability makes the Monkey a classic starter and filler pick. Rare-tier pets generally carry modest passives compared to Legendary and Mythical tiers, so its honest place is early-game value: a body to fill an empty pet slot and contribute a small steady buff while you grind toward stronger hatches. Because it is non-exclusive, its trade value stays low, which is good news for buyers and irrelevant for collectors.

On a serious endgame team the Monkey will almost certainly be benched once you secure higher-rarity specialists, and that is fine, it was never meant to be a carry. Treat it as a dependable on-ramp: cheap, always in stock, and useful for learning how pet buffs stack before you invest in the expensive tiers.
