The Mochi Mouse is one of the most desirable new pets in Grow a Garden, introduced with the Trading and Cooking Event Update on August 2, 2025. It's not just adorable - it's also powerful, making it a must-have for collectors and min-maxers alike.

Whether you're trying to complete your pet collection or boost your food-type pet growth rates, here's your complete guide to obtaining the Mochi Mouse and making the most of its unique ability.

How to Get a Mochi Mouse in Grow a Garden

The Mochi Mouse is classified as a Mythical-tier Divine Pet of Grow a Garden Items, which means it's both limited-time and highly rare. Currently, the only way to get one is through the Chris P. Bacon Cooking Event, which is part of the August 2025 update.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Locate Chris P. Bacon: Visit the Event area and interact with Chef Chris P. Bacon - the iconic pig chef NPC.

2. Prepare Meals: Use ingredients from your garden to cook special meals. The recipes vary in complexity and rarity.

3. Feed Chris P. Bacon: Submit your meals to him for a chance to earn exclusive rewards.

4. Earn Reward Rolls: The better the meal's rarity, the more likely it is to roll higher-tier rewards.

5. Pray to the RNG gods: The Mochi Mouse is a Divine drop, meaning it sits at the top of the reward tier, with very low odds. Most users report rates between 0.2% and 0.5% per premium meal.

Pro tip: Focus on Deluxe Desserts and Spicy Five-Star Meals, which offer the highest odds of Divine-tier drops. Use the [Chris P. Bacon Cooking Recipes Guide] for optimized meal paths.

What Does a Mochi Mouse Do?

The Mochi Mouse is more than just cute - it offers one of the best passive food-type pet bonuses in the game.

Passive Ability:

·"Sweet Supporter" - All active food-type pets gain additional experience per second while the Mochi Mouse is in your active party.

·Every 10 minutes, the Mochi Mouse gains an additional 510 bonus XP.

·The experience boost is stackable with garden multipliers and synergy bonuses, making it ideal for rapid food pet leveling.

This is especially useful when trying to evolve food pets like Berry Bun, Honey Scone, or Macaron Moo into their final forms faster.

Are There Mochi Mouse Variants?

Yes! While the original promotional artwork showed a red Mochi Mouse, players have discovered alternate color variants, including:

·Green & Red Variant - Resembles a strawberry leaf & mochi pairing.

·Purple Variant - Rare drop with an iridescent finish (unconfirmed to be from event-only or post-event cosmetic unlock).

Variants are purely cosmetic - no gameplay changes between them. However, they do fetch a higher trade value in pet trading channels and buy Grow a Garden Pets seasonal markets so expensive.

Will the Mochi Mouse Return?

As of now, the Mochi Mouse is exclusive to the August 2025 Cooking Event. That said, Grow a Garden has previously brought back limited-time pets in rerun events or seasonal chests.

Don't wait. If you want a Mochi Mouse, now's the time to cook and feed Chris P. Bacon before the event ends.

Final Tips for Farming the Mochi Mouse:

·Grind meal prep in bulk. Batch-cooking 10+ meals at a time reduces downtime.

·Check daily events - some days boost Divine drop chances.

·Upgrade your garden plots for higher-quality ingredients.

·Trade smart. If you get lucky with duplicates, Mochi Mouse variants are highly valuable on the player market.
