Adopt Me Pet Aging Levels: Complete Guide
Every pet in Adopt Me starts as a baby and works its way through several growth stages before reaching Full Grown. Advancing a pet's age requires completing tasks like feeding, walking, bathing, or taking it to school, and the number of tasks needed changes depending on the pet's rarity.
This aging process matters beyond just watching a pet grow. Full Grown pets can be combined to create Neon versions, and Neon pets can later evolve into Mega Neon, the rarest form a pet can reach in the game. In this article, we'll break it down from the very first level to the highest level after getting Neon, along with how many tasks each stage requires.
What Are the Age Levels in Adopt Me?
Pets in Adopt Me progress through different aging stages as players complete tasks with them. The number of tasks required to advance changes based on the pet's rarity, with higher rarity pets needing more effort to reach each stage. This system applies to both regular and Neon pets, though Neon pets use different stage names.
1. Regular Pets
Regular pets follow a standard progression system that applies to every pet rarity. Each pet must complete a set number of tasks to move from one stage to the next, and pets of higher rarity require more tasks overall. There are six aging levels for regular pets, and the task requirements for each level depend on the pet's rarity.
Age Level | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Ultra-Rare | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Newborn | 3 Tasks | 5 Tasks | 10 Tasks | 12 Tasks | 13 Tasks |
Junior | 6 Tasks | 9 Tasks | 20 Tasks | 25 Tasks | 26 Tasks |
Pre-Teen | 11 Tasks | 13 Tasks | 30 Tasks | 36 Tasks | 38 Tasks |
Teen | 16 Tasks | 18 Tasks | 40 Tasks | 47 Tasks | 50 Tasks |
Post-Teen | 20 Tasks | 25 Tasks | 50 Tasks | 58 Tasks | 62 Tasks |
Full Grown | - | - | - | - | - |
Once a pet reaches Full Grown, it's ready to be turned into a Neon pet. If you're not sure how that process works, check out our guide on how to make Neon pets in Adopt Me.
2. Neon Pets
Once a pet is Full Grown, it can be turned into a Neon pet by combining four Full Grown pets of the same type. Once made, the aging process starts over under new stage names. Neon pets require the same number of tasks to level up as regular pets of the same rarity, only the naming changes. They progress through another six levels:
Reborn
Twinkle
Sparkle
Flare
Sunshine
Luminous
For example, a common Reborn pet needs 3 tasks to reach Twinkle, matching what a regular common pet needs to go from Newborn to Junior. The same pattern carries across every rarity, so an uncommon Sparkle pet needs 13 tasks to reach Flare, the same as the Pre-Teen to Teen jump for uncommon regular pets.
Once a Neon pet reaches Luminous, it can be combined with three other Luminous Neon pets of the same type to become a Mega Neon pet. If you're not sure how that process works, check out our guide on how to make Mega Neon pets in Adopt Me.
How to Age Up Your Pets Faster
Completing tasks manually takes time, especially with higher rarity pets that need dozens of tasks per stage. A few methods can speed up the process significantly.
Age Up Potions instantly complete 30 tasks for an equipped pet. You earn them by leveling up a Full Grown pet's friendship, and there's no cap on how many you can collect over time. Since each potion covers a fixed number of tasks, they're most efficient when used on higher rarity pets. Common and Uncommon pets need only 2 to 3 potions to go from Newborn to Full Grown, while Legendary pets need around 10, making potions a bigger time saver on the rarer end.
The Pet Pen lets pets complete tasks passively over time without needing you to actively play with them. Placing pets in the Pet Pen while you're doing other things in the game keeps their task progress moving in the background.
Players who own the Pet Handler Pro Certificate or the Pets Plus subscription can equip two pets at once, letting both age up simultaneously instead of aging one pet at a time.
Double aging events, when active, temporarily double the task progress pets earn, making them a good time to focus on aging up multiple pets at once.
Combining any of these methods, potions for quick jumps, the Pet Pen for passive progress, and Age Up events when they're live, cuts down significantly on the grind, especially when working toward higher rarity Neon or Mega Neon pets.
Final Words
Adopt Me's pet aging system looks complicated with all the different task counts across rarities, but it comes down to completing tasks until your pet reaches Full Grown, then repeating the process after turning it into a Neon. Using Age Up Potions on higher rarity pets and taking advantage of double aging events when they're live will save you the most time.
