All Fortnite Collabs Announced at Unreal Fest (June 2026)
Epic Games just dropped a bombshell at Unreal Fest in Chicago. During the State of Unreal showcase on June 17,…
The Epic Egg is one of the most anticipated additions coming to Grow a Garden 2. Game data has already revealed the four pets inside it — including the ultra-rare Big Bee at just 1% — but the egg itself is still unreleased as of June 2026. Understanding what’s inside now lets you plan your Sheckles and priorities before the egg hits the Pet Shop. Here’s everything confirmed about the GaG 2 Epic Egg, each pet’s ability, and how it compares to the current pet system.
| Pet | Hatch Rate | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Deer | 60% | Growth booster |
| Unicorn | 30% | Rainbow mutation chance |
| Bee | 9% | Garden defender |
| Big Bee | 1% | Exclusive rare variant |
The Epic Egg is an Epic-rarity egg discovered in GaG 2’s game data. Unlike the Common Egg which contains eight possible pets, the Epic Egg holds only four — meaning every roll lands on a higher-quality companion. No price or release date has been officially announced yet.
Important: The Epic Egg is not yet available in the Pet Shop. The pet list and hatch rates may shift before launch — but the data is already in the game files.
The Deer is the most common Epic Egg pull, but don’t sleep on it. It actively speeds up plant growth rates in your garden, letting you harvest and sell crops faster. If you’re focused on maximizing Sheckle income through volume, the Deer is a solid workhorse pet.
The Unicorn is one of the strongest utility pets in Grow a Garden 2. It boosts the chance of plants and fruits mutating into Rainbow variants — the highest-value mutation in the game. In the current pets tier list, the Unicorn sits in S-Tier for a reason. Getting one from the Epic Egg is a strong outcome.
The Bee is GaG 2’s garden security guard. It patrols your plot and attacks intruders trying to steal your crops during nighttime raids. Since the night-stealing mechanic is central to GaG 2’s gameplay loop, having a Bee on defense is genuinely useful — especially if you run valuable plants.
Big Bee is the real reason players are excited about this egg. It’s an exclusive oversized variant that appears to be unavailable from any other source. No other egg or spawn contains the Big Bee, making it a premium collectible the moment the Epic Egg releases. With only a 1% drop rate, expect this to become one of the most traded pets in GaG 2.
Based on how the original Grow a Garden’s Pet Shop works, here’s what to expect:

| Feature | Common Egg | Epic Egg |
|---|---|---|
| Pet Pool Size | 8 pets | 4 pets |
| Rarest Pet | Unknown | Big Bee (1%) |
| Best Utility Pet | Varies | Unicorn (30%) |
| Availability | Live now | Unreleased |
The smaller pet pool of the Epic Egg is a key advantage — every roll is valuable. Even the 60% Deer roll gives you a genuinely useful pet rather than a filler outcome.
No. As of June 2026, the Epic Egg is unreleased but confirmed in game data. It has not appeared in the Pet Shop yet.
The Big Bee has a 1% hatch rate and is exclusive to the Epic Egg — it cannot be obtained from spawns or other eggs.
The Unicorn increases the chance of your plants and fruits receiving the Rainbow mutation, which significantly boosts their sell value.
The Epic Egg has only 4 possible pets (vs 8 in the Common Egg), meaning each pull is more valuable. All four pets — Deer, Unicorn, Bee, and Big Bee — have useful abilities.
