Mimic Octopus Grow a Garden: Copy Ability & Paradise Egg
Mimic Octopus in Grow a Garden copies another equipped pet’s ability (Mimicry). Hatch it from the Paradise Egg at about 1%, then point it at Raccoon or Kitsune. Model cooldown in the pet cooldown calculator. Last verified August 11, 2026.
Mimic Octopus ability: Mimicry
Mimicry does nothing on its own. Every cycle (community tables use about 20 minutes, our cooldown tool lists a 150s base that then scales with kg and age) the octopus copies one other active pet and fires that pet’s job. If the target has two passives, it usually only copies the first. It does not reset the original pet’s cooldown.
- Best copy: Raccoon Night Forage (two clone engines)
- Best mutation copy: Kitsune or Disco Bee
- Weaker copy: T-Rex spread does not double cleanly
- Griffin copy works, but Griffin wants its own slot XP (Griffin guide)
- Weight still matters: pet weight calculator

Trade value
Mimic Octopus stays expensive because it doubles whatever the meta pet is this month. Age and kg premiums apply. Read pet value list, then trade calculator and WFL. Do not pay hype-week Raccoon prices for a fresh 1 kg hatch.
Common mistakes
- Equipping Mimic with two weak pets and wondering why it feels mid.
- Copying T-Rex and expecting a second full garden spread.
- Trading it during a Paradise Egg drought without checking weight.
- Using the GAG2 calculator. This is a GAG1 pet.
