Diamonds are one of the currencies in PETS GO! that can be used to obtain some powerful pets. Here’s how to obtain these Gems first, so that you can make your collection bigger and better.
How to get Gems in PETS GO!
It can be a little confusing on how to get Diamonds, or Gems as they are also called, in PETS GO!. The only way to create Gems in PETS GO! is through Robux. One Robux equals 1,000 Gems.
If you are willing to pay, you can purchase Gems from the Exclusive Shop (the shopping basket on the left side of the screen). There are several packs you can grab based on how much you are willing to pay. If you get these, you can get some really great units from trading.
If you are F2P, then the only way you can get Diamonds is through selling your pets at the Trading Plaza. However, this isn’t an upgrade you should invest in at the start of the game since you won’t be able to roll any pet that would be able to sell well.
How to Trade in PETS GO!
To trade in PETS GO, you have to unlock the Trade upgrade on the Skill Tree in PETS GO! The first step is to purchase the Inventory upgrade for 150 Coins.
Now when you have that unlocked, you’ll have to unlock the Trade branch for 525 Coins. The important upgrades here are Trading Plaza (3.5k) so that you can reach the trading spot, and a Trading Booth (9.5k), if you want to also sell your pets, not just buy new ones.
The Trading Plaza is located through the tunnel with two paw marks on each side of it. Until you buy the upgrade, the tunnel will be black, and you won’t be able to travel. As soon as you buy it, it will light up, indicating that you can go through.
At the Plaza, you’ll see a bunch of booths set up for sale. Roam around and see if anything interests you and fits your budget.
If you want to sell pets (and have the unlocked booth upgrade), approach an unclaimed booth and interact with it to claim it. Then, you can set up your listing of pets you want to sell by selecting the pet and setting up their price. You can also customize your booth with visual upgrades you can also find on the skill tree.
What are Gems used for in PETS GO?
The only usage Gems have in PETS GO! is for trading. You can sell and purchase other pets at the Trading Plaza for a certain amount of Diamonds. Trading is a great way to get better pets if you are unlucky with rolls (no amount of luck potions can get me into the good graces of roll gods).
