Pony

The rarest Forest animal and the best one: $25/s plain. It lives on the very back edge of the Forest, so a Banana at 18–20 power is the easiest way to pull one.

Where to catch the Pony

The Pony lives in Forest (zone 1 of 17), on the far edge of the zone. It is number 9 of 9 in the Forest index – the very top. A full-strength throw needs roughly 0 – 150 Throw Power to land in Forest.

Foods that land here: Carrot (Free), Apple ($30), Banana ($150). A higher-tier food pushes the roll toward the rarer end of the Forest list, so the newest food you own is always the best bait.

Plain throws rarely produce the top animal of a zone. Use the best food you can afford, land the throw on the far edge of Forest, and save lucky throws for it. Already past Forest? Lower throw strength with the gear icon so the food lands here again.

Is it worth keeping?

  • The first animal in Savannah, the Giraffe, makes 4.8x as much – once your throws reach Savannah, replace it.
  • Keep it longer only if it rolled a strong mutation or size (see the table below) or you need it for the index.

Tips

  • Want the Pony for the index later? Turn throw strength down with the gear icon so a lucky throw lands at the back of the Forest.
  • Even a 1 in 250M Emerald Colossal Pony earns only about $4.6K/s – it is a trophy, not an earner.

Pony income by mutation and size

A plain Pony makes $25/s. Mutations and sizes multiply that number, and the two stack. The table below multiplies the plain income by the multipliers I have measured (Gold ×1.5, Diamond ×3, Emerald ×5, Ruby ×10, Rainbow ×20; Big ×2, Large ≈×4.3, Huge ≈×9, Colossal ≈×18.5, Gigantic ≈×37). Treat the size columns as estimates – real catches land a little above or below. With the 2x Cash gamepass every number doubles.
