Pet Variants

  • Recognize the progression from Normal through Golden, Diamond and Rainbow.
  • Compare displayed power on the actual form you own.
  • A Golden crafting example does not establish every later conversion recipe.

Read the form as part of the pet identity

Tap Simulator Reborn uses Normal, Golden, Diamond and Rainbow variants. When comparing two pets, read both the name and form. Saying that you own a particular creature can leave out an important part of the comparison if another player is discussing a different variant.

This matters for your equipped team as well as collection goals. A missing form can be useful to the Index even when its immediate team contribution is not your strongest option.

Avoid comparing names without the displayed pet

Check the stats on the actual pets in your inventory before replacing a team member. A familiar name is a useful starting point, but it is not a universal power value across every form. The same caution applies when a video shows a striking multiplier without making its variant clear.

The known Golden craft uses matching copies, with six selected in a demonstrated 100% attempt. That example does not supply a universal conversion multiplier, or the number of inputs needed at the Diamond and Rainbow machines.

Choose the next form for a purpose

If your next goal is collection, identify the missing form before using copies. If your goal is stronger tapping, compare the completed result with your current team. Those priorities can lead to different choices about which duplicate pets to keep.

The Golden crafting guide supplies the concrete selection and lock checks for the supported example. Start there when you are ready to use matching copies, and keep later machine decisions tied to the recipe actually shown in their menus.
