Best In Class

The purpose of this guide is to quickly and easily answer questions such as, “Which rabbit is the best rabbit?” This will help collectors know which pets are worth spending time hunting for the best breeds in. The tabs are designed to be an at-a-glance setup.
Key
- class – A group of similar pets. IE. “Rabbits” or “Squirrels”.
- ability group – A class of pets that share the same set of abilities.
Breed Order
Breed and Stats are ordered according to their numerical assignment. Stats are not ordered according to superiority.
- B/B (3/13) | P/P (4/14) | S/S (5/15) | H/H (6/16) | H/P (7/17) | P/S (8/18) | H/S (9/19) | P/B (10/20) | S/B (11/21) | H/B (12/22)
If a pet is not listed under a certain stat category (ie. POWER) it’s because (a) no pet from the group fit the category or (b) the category doesn’t suit the pet group.
Notes
- Only classes and ability groups with 3 or more members have been included in the guide.
- Stats are only considered if they are useful and available for the listed class. If a stat is excluded (ie. health) it is because the stat wasn’t useful or the stat wasn’t actually high enough to be useful.
- The tables are sorted by pet family and then alphabetically.
More Information
- If a pet or group of pets is not included in the guide it is because the pet(s) did not meet the criteria listed above. If you feel this was an error please PM Wakamaru. New pets will be reviewed and added to the list as needed once they have been added in-game.
- If you have questions regarding this guide or it’s content please feel free to post to its forum discussion thread here or tweet to us @A3pets.
