How to Get the Popcorn Phoenix?

The Popcorn Phoenix is exclusively obtained from the Carnival Pack, which is the rarest reward inside the Carnival Crate. The pull chance is just 0.1% — so expect to spin many times.

Step 1 – Earn Prize Tickets

Prize Tickets are the currency needed to spin the Carnival Crate (100 Tickets per spin). There are two ways to farm them:

  • Carnival Season Pass – Unlock tiers by completing hourly quests (150–250 XP each) and daily quests (400 XP each). The 15-tier pass has both Free and Premium reward tracks that pay out Prize Tickets.
  • Whack A Crop Event – When this event triggers, a hammer appears in your inventory. Whack the fruits and vegetables that pop up across the map. Most crops give 1 Ticket, but special highlighted crops (purple/yellow) reward up to 5 Tickets each — prioritize those.

Step 2 – Spin the Carnival Crate

  1. Open the Carnival Pass menu in-game.
  2. Switch to the Crate tab.
  3. Hit Spin — this costs 100 Prize Tickets or 35 Robux per roll.

The Carnival Pack (containing Popcorn Phoenix) has a 0.1% roll chance. Other crate rewards include Fertilizer Crates, Spray Crates, and Carnival Seed Packs, so the odds are stiff. Spinning consistently during Whack A Crop events is the fastest free-to-play approach.

⚠️ The Carnival Pass ends June 20, 2026. Once it’s gone, the Popcorn Phoenix is unobtainable until a potential re-run.

Popcorn Phoenix Stats and Sizes

The Popcorn Phoenix comes in three sizes. Bigger sizes are rarer but significantly stronger:

SizeDrop ChanceEarnings Boost (Lv.1)
RegularHigher9x
BigLowerHigher than 9x
GiantRarestHighest boost

At Level 1 (Regular size), the 9x earnings boost already beats most pets in the game including Kitsune, Disco Dodo, Hydra, and Velociraptor. It’s only topped by Starfall Griffin (10–11x) and T-Rex (12x).

Popcorn Phoenix Passive Ability

This is what makes the Popcorn Phoenix unique. Every few minutes, it automatically applies the effect of a Strong Pet Treat to a random equipped pet, boosting that pet’s stats by 20%.

  • This effectively keeps your whole pet lineup buffed passively.
  • Upgrading the Popcorn Phoenix reduces the cooldown, so the passive fires more frequently.
  • The passive works on whichever floor the Phoenix is equipped to — so place it strategically on your most valuable floor.

Pets can be upgraded up to Level 50 using in-game Cash. Higher levels raise both the earnings multiplier and shorten the passive timer.


Pro Tips for Maximizing the Popcorn Phoenix

  • Place it on your best floor. Pet passives only affect the floor they’re active on, so pair the Phoenix with your strongest outer-ring crops.
  • Stack with T-Rex or Starfall Griffin. The Phoenix’s passive will buff these pets, and their own mutation-upgrading passives compound your earnings further.
  • Upgrade immediately. Even a few upgrades noticeably reduce the passive cooldown, making the 20% pet buff trigger more often.
  • Buy the +1 Pet Equip gamepass (799 Robux) if you want to run the Phoenix alongside another strong pet on the same floor simultaneously.
