Breeding is one of the most rewarding systems in Catch and Tame, giving you access to over 20 exclusive pets that simply cannot be found roaming the wild. From the relatively accessible Panda and Giraffe all the way up to the jaw-dropping Celestial Hydra, every breed-only creature requires a specific pair of parents and a healthy dose of patience. This guide breaks down every known recipe, success rate, and strategy so you can stop guessing and start hatching.
How Does Breeding Work in Catch and Tame?
The process itself is straightforward. Head to your pen, place the two required pets inside, select them, and hit Breed. What comes out is an egg, not an instant pet. That egg then has a percentage chance to hatch into your target creature.

Breeding in Catch and Tame is entirely RNG-based. Even a recipe with a 9% success rate means you could need ten or more attempts before getting the pet you want.The key takeaway here is that you need to stock up on parent animals before attempting high-tier breeds. Running out of a rare ingredient mid-grind is one of the most frustrating setbacks in the game, especially when chasing Mythical-tier pets with a 0.3% success chance.
All Catch and Tame Breeding Recipes by Rarity
Below is the full recipe list organized by the rarity of the resulting pet. Success chances are pulled directly from in-game data.
Rare Tier Breeds
These are the most accessible breed-only pets and a great starting point for new players learning the system.
The Giraffe is arguably the easiest to farm since it only requires one Common-tier parent (Alligator), making the ingredient cost relatively low.

Epic Tier Breeds
Epic breeds require more invested parents, and several of them chain off each other. Notice that the Lynx (itself a breed result) is required to make the Fennec Fox.
info
Breed the Lynx first before attempting the Fennec Fox. Since Lynx is itself a breed-only pet, plan your ingredient pipeline in advance to avoid long delays.Legendary Tier Breeds
Legendary breeds drop to a 3% success rate across the board, so patience and a surplus of parents are essential.
Notice that Woolly Rhino is both a breed result and a required ingredient for the Walrus. Plan ahead and breed multiple Woolly Rhinos before attempting the Walrus recipe.
Mythical Tier Breeds
These are the pinnacle of the breeding system. All Mythical recipes carry a 0.3% success rate, meaning statistically you could attempt the breed over 300 times before success. Stock up, stay patient, and use the calculator tools available to the community.
warning
The Celestial Hydra requires a chain of prior breeds. You need to produce the Hydra first (from Lightning Dragon and Cereberus), then pair it with a Cosmic Griffin. Each step carries a 0.3% success rate, so this is a long-term goal rather than a quick farm.What Is the Best Pet You Can Breed?
The Celestial Hydra is widely regarded as the top breed-only pet currently in Catch and Tame. It sits at the end of a multi-step Mythical chain and requires both a Hydra and a Cosmic Griffin as parents. Given the 0.3% success rate at every stage, obtaining one is a genuine achievement that signals serious commitment to the game.
For players not yet in the Mythical tier, the Snow Wolf (Wolf + Snow Leopard) offers a satisfying mid-game target at Legendary rarity with ingredients that are more realistically obtainable.
How to Get Exclusive Eggs in Catch and Tame?
Exclusive Eggs are a separate category entirely from bred pets. These eggs contain the rarest pets in the entire game and cannot be obtained through normal breeding. According to available community information, the only way to receive Exclusive Eggs is by participating in Admin Abuse events within the game. Keep an eye on official announcements and the game's social channels to catch these limited windows.
info
Exclusive Eggs are not part of the standard breeding system. Do not confuse them with the eggs produced by breeding two pets together in your pen.
Tips for Breeding More Efficiently
- Breed in bulk. Before attempting any recipe, catch multiple copies of each parent animal. This prevents grinding interruptions.
- Prioritize chained recipes. Pets like Lynx, Woolly Rhino, and Hydra are both results and ingredients. Breed extras of these before moving up the chain.
- Start with Rare and Epic tiers. The 6-9% success rates at these tiers let you learn the system without burning through hard-to-find Legendary or Mythical parents.
- Track your attempts. Given the RNG nature, keeping a rough count of attempts helps you gauge whether you're within normal variance or experiencing a particularly unlucky streak.
