The Amethyst Penguin is the new legendary chase pet in Adopt Me, and it’s brutal to pull — just a 0.05% shot per Gemstone Egg. I’ll walk you through exactly how to earn it, what it costs, and whether trading is a smarter route than grinding logins yourself.
The Amethyst Penguin arrived on September 11, 2026, as the headline pet of the Star Rewards Revamp Update. It’s a pastel-purple penguin with dark eye markings, wearing a gold-and-magenta jeweled tiara and a matching high-collared royal cape — clearly built as Adopt Me’s new “flex” pet for daily players. It only comes from one source at launch: no cash-shop bundle, no event currency, just the Gemstone Egg.
The Star Rewards system was overhauled alongside this pet. Instead of a fixed prize track, you now earn 1 Star (token) per daily login, spendable in a dedicated shop.
Note: some outlets reported this as a 30-day streak rather than a 28-Star purchase. The 28-Star/Coin figure is the more consistently reported version across sources, so budget for that, but don’t be shocked if your tracker reads slightly differently in-game.
If grinding isn’t your thing, trading is the only other legitimate route. Given the pet’s 0.05% odds, expect it to command a steep price early on — treat any trade offer with caution until the community settles on consistent values.
| Outcome | Rarity | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra-Rare pool (5 pets) | Ultra-Rare | 90% combined |
| Legendary pool (5 pets) | Legendary | 9.95% combined |
| Amethyst Penguin | Legendary | 0.05% |
The Ultra-Rare and Legendary percentages are combined totals across multiple named pets (Ginger Cat, Orca, Pomeranian, Starfish, Toucan, Golden/Diamond Dragons and Griffins) — Adopt Me hasn’t published individual odds within those pools. The Amethyst Penguin is the sole 0.05% outlier.
Before you commit all 28 Stars to the egg, know what else is competing for your currency:
| Item | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Gemstone Egg | 28 Stars | Contains the Amethyst Penguin |
| 2x Boost | 20 Stars | Doubles Bucks/XP for 60 minutes |
| Royal Fairytale Egg | 14 Stars | 40% Rare / 50% Ultra-Rare / 10% Legendary |
| Streak Saver | 5 Stars | Protects your streak for 24 hours |
| Build Limit +500 | 5 Stars | Raises build limit, up to 8,000 |
| Temp Auras (Confetti/Dance/Sparkler) | 1 Star each | Cosmetic, lasts until logout |
If the penguin is your goal, skip the 1-Star cosmetics entirely — each one costs you a full day of progress toward the egg.
The old fixed prize track is gone, not adjusted. Here’s what shifted:
Like all Adopt Me pets, it learns a trick at each growth stage:
| Age | Trick |
|---|---|
| Newborn | Sit |
| Junior | Joyful |
| Pre-Teen | Beg |
| Teen | Jump |
| Post-Teen | Trick 1 (unnamed) |
| Full Grown | Trick 2 (unnamed) |
No Neon or Mega Neon version exists yet for the Amethyst Penguin. If you’re hoping to combine four copies in the Neon Cave, there’s currently nothing to unlock — hold onto any duplicates until Adopt Me confirms this is live.
Save 28 Stars from daily logins, buy the Gemstone Egg in the Star Rewards shop, then hatch it for a 0.05% chance — or get one through trading.
Extremely rare. It has just a 0.05% hatch chance per Gemstone Egg, making it the rarest outcome in that pool by a wide margin.
Not directly. A SHOP button exists next to the Gemstone Egg for a possible Robux shortcut, but pricing hasn’t been revealed yet.
Not currently. No Neon or Mega Neon version has been added, so combining copies in the Neon Cave won’t work yet.
The Diamond Unicorn, Golden Egg, and Diamond Egg were removed permanently. Every other old Star Rewards pet moved into the new Gemstone Egg pool.
